I don’t think they even want Kyiv. Western Ukraine is rife of neo-Nazis, making it impossible to occupy long-term.
Okay Brzezinski. Russia hardly faces a determined opposition: it faces a dwindling supply of forced conscripts.
Yes, but did you consider that they painted some grass green for a sports event that one time? 😂 Arguing with deeply unserious people is tiresome.
Is this a joke?

The first step is to understand the media, which Media Bias/Fact Check and the Ad Fontes Media* are never going to teach you. The only people who are taught it are those who get degrees in marketing, public relations, political science, history, and journalism; and even then only some of them.
The new post-Trump/“post-truth” media literacy curricula won’t teach it to you either, because it was paid for and crafted by the US military-industrial complex: New Media Literacy Standards Aim to Combat ‘Truth Decay’.
This week, the RAND Corporation released a new set of media literacy standards designed to support schools in this task.
The standards are part of RAND’s ongoing project on “truth decay”: a phenomenon that RAND researchers describe as “the diminishing role that facts, data, and analysis play in our political and civic discourse.”
None of it is a secret, though, and it can be learned.

* I’ve criticized MBFC & Ad Fontes before:
Navalny was seen as a hero by US liberals, because that’s how the Council on Foreign Relations and the National Endowment for Democracy wanted them to see him, so that’s how US corporate media portrayed him.
This government intrusion is brought to you by Surfshark.
Democrat/Liberal candidate’s slogan was “they go low, we go high.”
The thing is, this is largely kayfabe. The Democrats aren’t that dumb: they lose on purpose. It’s a big good cop, bad cop club, and you ain’t in it. Recent blatant examples under the Biden administration:
- 2021: Senate Can't Vote On $15 Minimum Wage, Parliamentarian Rules
- 2022: Rail Workers Betrayed By Biden & The “Squad”
.
The Democratic Party's deceitful game They are willing to bravely support any progressive bill as long as there's no chance it can pass
The primary tactic in this game is Villain Rotation. They always have a handful of Democratic Senators announce that they will be the ones to deviate this time from the ostensible party position and impede success, but the designated Villain constantly shifts, so the Party itself can claim it supports these measures while an always-changing handful of their members invariably prevent it.
You strike me as someone who would have written a hit piece on Marx for profiting from British imperialism and his capitalist buddy Engels
I don’t why you’d have that impression, but you guessed wrong.
Can someone be a landlord and a communist at the same time?
It’s a red flag. At the highest level this boils down to whether that someone is consistently a traitor to their class.
In my estimation Engels was consistent.
his drinking habits to make clear that he is an immature mind
How are you deciding I would think anything like that from what little you know about me? Very strange assumptions.
Okay, Holden Caulfield, best of luck with your own personal, non-phony, left-libertarian revolution.
Just another Tuesday for the US government, the Council on Foreign Relations, the Trilateral Commission, and US corporate media.
