Defending the criminal thug country here is like supporting the BLMers who sued because they were pepper sprayed while burning and looting.
Sorry, what was done to the truckers was a major turning point from my perspective. The “west” has absolutely no moral authority. If Russia is a Criminal thug country that’s fine because they are fighting against many other Criminal thug countries. Their are none righteous in this war.
With respect, I didn't read anyone here defending Russia. The comments seem to be about Realpolitick and pragmatic reality. Some one has something for sale. Some one wants to buy something.
Europe's "zero carbon" politics won't work in winter, when someone needs to burn something -- fuel of some sort -- to keep warm. And Europe's "zero carbon" game won't keep German business humming along.
Personally I would love to see thugs everywhere -- including North America -- toppled. Throwing open the Overton Window allows a breath of fresh air into things.
Good thoughts to you, along with a tiny disagreement.
