One of the most up voted comments on another thread about this was in effect “Assange has been cleared.” No, he pleaded guilty and served five years in prison, it’s just that he already served that time since he was never released pending trial.

His argument doesn’t make it sound at all like WW II though, there are way more parallels with the Cold War
The Ukraine invasion is totally different though, the international community has already been involved for years and the front lines are more or less static at this point. What Japan did in China…no one stopped them and they kept going all over the Pacific. Another difference was Japan and Germany being formidable powers, Russia is nothing of the sort today, and China is smart enough to stay away
as of right now there are currently 9 more active conflicts going on worldwide than the peak of world war II
Are you really putting the regional conflicts occuring today in the same category as World War II, where over 70,000,000 people were killed? “World War III started 3 years ago” is the stuff of a conspiracist’s fever dream and is not based in any objective reality
This is so oversimplified as to be meaningless
In a near consensus, dozens of Wikipedia editors involved in the discussion said they believe the ADL should not be cited for factual information on antisemitism because it acts primarily as a pro-Israel organization and tends to label legitimate criticism of Israel as antisemitism.
Yup
Based on what did you come to the conclusion I think this website is Russian propaganda? I’m talking about you, and what you said, that the “US invaded Ukraine first.” It doesn’t say that anywhere here.
Of fucking course mineral wealth is part of this conversation. Putin the as explicitly stated as much, and there’s a reason he went after oil-rich portions of Ukraine first. Russia is trying to take Ukraine’s mineral wealth away from its people, while ethnically cleansing the land it has taken. This is not “western propaganda,” Russia has admitted to removing Ukrainian civilians involuntarily into Russia and taking their children from them to be raised by Russians.
I’m attuned to the study of Chomsky, Bernays, et al, and try to get information from a variety of worldwide sources. Being discerning about western bias in our own news media doesn’t mean you should reflexively believe whatever comes out of Russia, bro.
I thought you said that he was not interested in taking Kyiv.
No, he’s interested in taking Kyiv for the purpose of regime change. O.K.?
As opposed to what?
As opposed to permanently conquering Kyiv.
It would be a Russian-friendly government that he would presumably have some say over, right?
Yes, exactly. But it’s important to understand that it is fundamentally different from conquering and holding onto Kyiv. Do you understand what I’m saying?
Lmao I don’t know what you think you’re proving by sharing an interview with this guy. This is literally one person’s opinion, and a weak one at that lol
Yeah buddy, the US invaded Ukraine in 2014 lmao
I realize you’re going to try to come back at me with a bunch of “evidence” that the US worked with and supported the Maidan, but that’s all true. What’s also true is that the Ukrainian people are the ones who actually did the work there.
When Russia invaded Ukraine in Feb 2022, it was Russians invading. Physically invading with tanks, infantry, and artillery. In the Maidan in 2014, the Ukrainian people revolted against their government after it abandoned efforts to align with Europe in favor of aligning with Russia. The Ukrainian people want to align with Europe and the West.
Really? I don’t know a ton about this, but it looks like American and Japanese manufacturers are the only ones to have ever operated in Australia
Australia’s car manufacturing industry is basically non-existent, they import almost all of them. The EU and US have huge manufacturing bases they’re trying to protect
The US has basically always had some level of federal control over some private property, beginning with construction of the National Road in 1806. “Principles of capitalism and private property” as you describe it here is a much newer ideology popularized by Reagan in the 80s that’s still a libertarian fever dream much more representative of the US Republican party rather than “the West.”
