Just as they did during the Iraq War, America's jingoistic press outlets bear a major responsibility for this unnecessary war that has ravaged Ukraine and killed some 315,000 Ukrainians. Rather than seeking to contextualize events properly for their readers, the US media systematically deceived Americans about the causes and course of the war while faithfully parroting the Neocon propaganda narrative.

I don't drink the Kool Aid a lot happened before Russia launched its offensive in February of last year which the Mainstream Media ignores.
As do a number of vocal FReepers stuck in the Cold War.
There is ONE FACT which supersedes all other factors and excuses and explanations....
Russia did invade Ukraine.
The cause of the war is Putin’s paranoia.
Good for them.
Unlike America’s neocons they went to war in pursuit of their real interests.
Invasions occur all over the world since the dawn of history. Why are you so concerned about this one.? We have no national security or economic interest in this conflict. That is, unless you make lots of money selling weapons to Ukraine.
Wait, so the limp-wrists who run the liberal media threatened Putin with their pearl-handled pistols and forced him to invade Ukraine?
What was the cause of World War One?
“The cause of the war is Putin’s paranoia.”
Absolutely.
Just recently Putin gave a speech wherein he said that Russia’s real enemy is the West, and that he is going to unleash “real war” against the West, as he has his aide with the Kremlin’s version of the “nuclear football” prominently visible.
...America's jingoistic press outlets bear a major responsibility for this unnecessary war that has ravaged Ukraine...
Every single source we've come to totally distrust over the Plague Theater years, is 100% behind the Ukraine side in this. That's enough to make me suspicious.
“Why are you so concerned about this one.? “
He’s a Ukrainian loyalist and zealot.
And therefore an enemy of the American people.

The only one responsible for this war is Putin with his ideas of restoring the Russian empire. He could end it tomorrow by bringing his troops home.

That fact DOES NOT supersede all others.
Our CIA (Nuland) and other NATO countries collaborated to overthrow the leadership of the Ukraine for the purpose of installing their puppet who would war against Russia for them (proxy war). Merkel has since admitted that NATO only agreed to Minsk 2 in order to buy time for NATO to build the army in the Ukraine. NATO is collecting countries for it's one world rule aspirations and they would use the Ukraine to force regime change via war with Russia. There were historically red lines which they knew meant war, and they built up the Ukrainian proxy army and crossed those red lines. Putin invaded to stop the machinery of NATO from forcing regime change in Russia.
All this wailing about 'poor, innocent, defenseless Ukraine' is propaganda. This was a calculated escalation by NATO using the Ukrainians as cannon fodder.
Why don’t you just answer the question? What’s in it for you? I don’t care if that piece of wasteland is ruled by Russia or the EU. At this point it’s going to cost 10 trillion dollars to restore it if Ukraine manages to eek out a stalemate.
Are you willing to let your grandchildren pay for that?
Ukraine will be better off if they lose. At least then they can saddle Russia with the cost of rebuilding. If the they win, then it will be NATO’s burden, which means yours and mine.
How much of your own personal money are you willing to invest in a Ukrainian victory? $5 or $5 million? Whatever it is, it ain’t enough.
Kennedy has a point about the jingoistic media, which fails to do its traditional job of questioning government policy and holding government to account, including with its Ukrainian War policy. But it’s an odd sort of point, since the media is the propaganda puppet of the Democrat Party. Kennedy is using the media as a proxy for attacking the party he wants to nominate him as its Presidential candidate for 2024. Good luck with that.
Have any Democrats apart from Kennedy come out against the Ukraine proxy war?
