He doesn’t impress me as knowing what he’s writing about. The article is just a rant.
Interesting. Thanks for posting. -OGINJ
I think this article is spot on.
Some kind of game is afoot in all this. Neither Trump nor Putin could possibly want to turn this fiasco in Ukraine into a greater war that will destroy what’s left of Western Civilization.
Agree.

FTA: “I will proffer a harsh truth to you: the best outcome in Ukraine would be for Russia to win the war as expeditiously as possible, neutralize and disarm the place, change-out its illegitimate government, and let it revert to being the frontier backwater it was for eight decades previous, when it was not a problem for the other nations of the region.“
The article paragraph above illustrates your point about the author perfectly, IMO. Kuntsler writes as a true believer in the NYTimes tripe by Walter Duranty denying the famine that occurred under the Soviets. It seems certain the Ukrainian people have long and vivid memories on the Russian bear on how they would likely fare if Kuntsler’s vision became reality.
"It ought to be clear now that the initial Hillary Clinton campaign prank metastasized into the worst perversion of abusive government power in our country's history, and is yet on-going."As to "campaign prank," Kunstler is being too kind. Remember when Clinton was in the Oval Office, and Mrs. Clinton called herself the "co-president?"
These last decades has been her unbridled lust for power, prestige and wealth.
“He doesn’t impress me as knowing what he’s writing about. The article is just a rant.”
He does impress me as knowing what he’s writing about. The article is very logical.
Now, illuminate all of us. Where did he jump the tracks? Just one citation would be good.
“ He doesn’t impress me as knowing what he’s writing about. The article is just a rant.”
Sure. Or, the people about to be prosecuted for their parts in High Treason AND those about to be exposed for pedophelia and worse, are in positions to turn this simmering WWIII into the smoldering sun.
Kunstler seems of the opinion that everything in the world is controlled by deep conspiracies of powerful people.
He rejects the reality there is a lot of randomness in the world and there are a lot of competeing conspiracies.
Nobody wanted what happened in WWI. Nobody wanted what is happening in Ukraine.
People, even smart, powerful people, don’t know everything, cannot accurately predict far into the future, and make lots of mistakes.
"So I don't understand why Clinton became so huffy when Jerry Brown tossed in a zinger about Hillary during their recent debate. Something to do with her law firm doing business with the state her husband governs.That "law firm" stuff has brought testy behaviors from the Clintons for the last 32 years...."Clinton played the chivalrous spouse, telling Brown he wasn't fit to stand on the same stage as Hillary. This put Brown, a bachelor, at a disadvantage, since he couldn't say that Clinton wasn't fit to be on the same stage as his wife. Of course, he might have responded that Clinton wasn't fit to be on the same stage with Linda Ronstadt, whom Brown used to date. Or with Mother Theresa, with whom he nursed the needy. Then since-departed Paul Tsongas could have chimed in that neither of them were fit to be in the same swimming pool with him. If the campaign lasts long enough, who knows?
"Later, while performing for the cameras at a Polish restaurant in Chicago (Arkansas governors just love Polish food), Clinton said he could handle political abuse but would 'hit' those who maligned his wife."

And, no, Epstein didn't kill himself.
BTTT
Au contraire, this is one of Kunstler’s best. The history of what happened in Ukraine hits the bullseye.
You have no clue about the reality of Ukraine. And believe it or not, the USSR is no more; Putin is not Stalin.
You’re living in the past.
I disagree with your entire post—starting with World War I.
It was a family feud among European royals.
They enjoying slaughtering each other’s young men in war. It made them feel powerful—because they were evil.
If you do not understand evil then everything bad looks like a coincidence.
Fantastic Kunstler article, one of his very best.
could you write better??? or are you just ranting
