"Be the direct military involvement you want to see in the world." Brilliant. If the warmongers got a one way ticket to Kiev, that would actually bring about world peace. Also willing to wager that Zelensky is not in Ukraine, he's just Zoom acting to milk more taxpayer funds to give to the military industrial complex.

Oh be civil, Caitlin. It's your potty-mouth that's the real problem here ;-) Not Zelensky, who's willing to sacrifice his country to his vanity. We certainly can't let Putin get away with requiring Ukraine to keep international agreements, not allow foreign military bases, not join military alliances explicitly against their neighbor, not harbor foreign labs breeding internationally banned biological and chemical weapons, not rent space to nukes that could obliterate everyone by intention or accident in 5 minutes. If Putin got away with that, where would he stop? All of Europe could be turned into neutered Switzerland. <shudder>

These people are Satanic. Imagine lying like this and then going to bed at night. That gives a sense of the twisted nature of these people. They are not normal. They are not exhibiting signs of normal human Behavior. These are very sick individuals. Their main talent is lying and not being able to feel. That lies at the heart of all their ability and success, not Intelligence or creativity or cleverness, just pure sociopathy.

I thought the Pentagon was the sane part (sic!) of the US administration, trying to restrain the hot-headed from triggering a nuclear war that is in nobody, not even the MIC conglomerate, economic interest, with the State Department and the media being the insanest! So now they are all insane... well maybe they envised a way to make money out of nuclear ashes, perhaps

These people really are bonkers. It seems so many of us have been brainwashed to accept more violence as the one and only way to fix humanity's problems. That only more "violence" is what Putin will "understand". There is very little focus on finding ways to de-escalate, with the underlying assumption: only more war will lead to peace.

It's a miracle Biden, given his addled brain seems to have been able to say no to direct confrontation so far. But how long this will last seems to be just a roll of the dice.

The world should be much more alarmed at the possibility of a nuclear conflagration. It's as if humanity is sleep walking into mass death.

Watching from Australia - on the other side of the world and relatively protected in the southern hemisphere - this is still pretty scary stuff. Our PM announced a few days ago that we would be sending 4 bushmasters to Ukraine - in response to Velensky's impassioned request to our parliament (which got a rather better hearing than our few brave politicians called for enquiries into vax injuries). This is in addition to a total of $116 million in military aid (and a mere $65 million in humanitarian aid) over the past month.

This is not in any way our war - Russia has never been any sort of direct threat to Australia. Yet we seem to have inherited the general western hysteria about Russia, and completely buying all the war propaganda put out by Ukraine, including the most recent egregious propaganda effort about the supposed Russian massacre in Bucha. (Never mind that nobody mentioned this until well after the Russian withdrawal from that area & incursion of Ukraine battalions, confirmed by the mayor, at least 2 days before any reports of bodies in the street.)

I'd say I find it hard to believe how people are just blindly & unquestioningly accepting all this - except after watching how the past 2 years have unfolded, and seeing the complete takeover of mainstream and social media by whatever official narrative is being rolled out, I can see exactly what is going on.

They are setting the stage for all-out war, probably nuclear if they get their way.

If only others used common sense, it's clear the motivation is escalation at MSNBC where all the deep state hide. Of course they'd be the first to shit their pants in a war yet push to kill young American soldiers.

Unfortunately so many of the stories coming out of Ukraine are false flags intended to pull us into World War III.

NEOCONS have ruined America and will be our demise.

Moon over Alabama is a good source for accurate reporting.

There are others. I hope many are finding good sources of news so that the truth has a repository of minds - a critical mass one could say - that it is not forgotten and prevails as we all always hope the truth will. For if the "truth" does not prevail - it will only prove that humanity is a failed species.

Anyhow, Lew Rockwell and sott.net are good places for journalism as well. The Rogue Journalist seems lately is the only one speaking the truth.

Doublespeak: Clamoring for war and calling it peacekeeping.

Those calling for more war always seem to be the most sheltered from its horrific results, and the most unwilling to actually die for their acidic beliefs. Imagine that.

Yes, war crimes are upsetting. But why are Russia's war crimes more upsetting than Ukraine's? There are generals in Ukraine trying to argue that Russian soldiers aren't entitled to Geneva convention protections because Russia never declared war. This in response to a video showing Russian soldiers being tortured and murdered. It's hard to buy the moral high ground argument when they have officials defending this behavior.

Do we even know yet if these were acts committed by Russians- and not false flag idiots acting in Ukraine to start playing war games and getting money for their weapons used against Russia with Ukraine at ground zero? Who is doing what? It was not clear at first that the chem attack in Syria was staged to blame Russia. Is that criminality in play again? The death we saw in the streets resembled a mass casualty practice event. Too organized and distributed to look real to me. They want to rush in. The US does this wet work to gain sympathy and support for egregious action. It should be examined by those who are trustworthy. Highly suspicious to use this as a pretext for nuclear devastation which they are too power mad to care about. Stop the mad men at work in the US and Ukraine. Give Putin an exit strategy.

Right off the bat, the idea that Russia would commit atrocities - tied hand behind backs of individuals and shot them, and then mined the bodies - is an insane accusation of no merit driven in its extremity by the insane sanctions and prohibitions that include orchestra conductors and long dead artists.

It's a no holds barred field, and its trajectory into Spender's mad propositions is almost inevitable. Had the Russians any such intent and the mindset that enables it they would have cleaned up by now- much faster and easier - and at least 14,000 Ukrainians would be dead, the number of Russians killed in Ukraine by Ukrainian Nazis because of incipient "Russianness."

But where are the psychiatrists that wanted Trump deposed for mental instability? Trump, as opposed to Biden and his predecessors, the Bushes I and II: Clinton before him who ruined the former Yugoslavia, bombed it mercilessly for 87 days without stop, inevitably increased fascist tendencies in the new republics formed, wrenched Kosovo into the hands of what were identified as terrorists only a short time before, and the noble Obama who ruined Libya for no good reason and in the process ensured the enslavement, once again, of black workers. If this world and its perceptions, judgments and decisions isn't crazy, then crazy is surely redundant.

As for Bucha, the evidence is by no means in, and what I've seen, though I've had to dig for it within the constant stream of Russophobic propaganda, is that it is much more likely a false flag, i.e. a staged atrocity committed by Azov Ukranians and made to look like the Ruskies did it. Common sense if nothing else tells us that the Russians would have everything to lose by this and the Ukrainian Nazis everything to gain, since it helps them get NATO on board. For the evidence see https://www.moonofalabama.org/2022/04/the-bucha-provocation.html?fbclid=IwAR0sfuZYGhv-ATbBncC65xQnSIAcIwoeaGge5UVxq50L1vp55Vr2RPMYN4Q#more.

How does one discern the truth? What are the solutions? Is there any way to come to an agreement when the various factions are focused on their self interests? What is human nature and what is learned behavior? Are we to be stuck on this hamster's wheel ad infinitum?

My only response to the Warmongers is this quote from Michael Jordan, "Stop it. Get some help."
