And my contention is (and we may differ on this) that Ukraine is unfortunately the client and proxy of the Uniparty.

The Uniparty is a faction of the left, the same faction of which Justin Trudeau and Emmanuel Macron, et al are members.

They advocate a post-national progressive corporatism.

Putin is also of the left, but his is a neo-Stalinist nationalist leftism.

It’s wrong that Putin’s Russia invaded Ukraine, and I detest him, but what the US & Europe have become is almost as bad. Our version of leftism is just a slightly slower death.

I’m opposed to both of these left factions. I’m not rally behind anything, certainly not this President & the Uniparty’s intra-left war.

Thanks, that’s a little clearer and a more sensible view, even if I don’t agree with it (I’m a ‘politics stops at the water’s edge’ kind of guy generally but was as pissed off at our attack on Serbia as anyone) entirely.

I just am appalled by the support of Putin around here; he’s evil, anyone who doesn’t think he’s evil is no better than him. It’s quite possible to distrust the Biden/Pelosi/Neocon faction and also see the Ukrainians as the good guys and the Russians as the brutal thugs they’ve always been; if someone doesn’t, that’s their right, but it’s also my right to regard them as no better than those same thugs.

Thanks for posting the guy with the unpronounceable last name. He's been consistent for decades (as long as I have been reading Chronicles).
