The United States is a terrorist state pure and simple. Starting endless wars and causing suffering on vast swaths of humanity.

You write like this is a bad thing. In what world you want to live where Putin and trump aren’t the bad guys? I would agree that corporatism is not the best international system we can imagine, but the way Russia acts now, has always acted, is not good for the world, let alone for its own people. Intimating that the US intervention is a mistake is to diminish the manner is which the historic and current leaders of Russia acted towards their own citizens’, or their neighbors’, best interest.

Sounds as if you only know what the mainstream news reports. Dig in a little deeper.

If you peruse Dana’s feed, you’ll quickly discover a mild case of TDS and observable neoliberal tendencies. Blaming Russia for everything that ails the world is just not supported by the facts.

This TDS context may prevent him from seeing just how harmful U.S.foreign policy has been for the last 50+ years (irrespective of political party) because there is a huge portion of the US population that cannot agree with Trump on anything. It’s nothing to do with policy.

You simply cannot treat the world in this inhumane fashion and not expect it to come back at you in some great measure. Whether via retribution or whether the U.S. destroys herself from within (as some have suggested is happening), there will be consequences.

This same same U.S. foreign policy framework and infrastructure (the money, the organization, the intelligence gathering, the NGO’s, the disdain for human life) was utilized against the U.S. population during Covid, labeling those who questioned dubious “science” as terrorists.

Was Covid an example of the U.S. “turning on its own.”?

I’m not one to care much for partisan politics as we have a uni-party for the most part. I think the current administration (barely Republican) would like to change this pattern. It’s not clear whether they’ll succeed. The forces against peace are fierce.

Europe appears to be readying for war. The global bankers certainly want war. Signals from the U.S. are mixed.

We have been very fortunate due to our geography. However, what is the likelihood that several of those ten million+ illegal border entrants don’t have evil intent towards our country? The odds of domestic terrorism are quite high and could once again lead us back into armed conflict.

I don’t watch much msn, I don’t need to. My first recollection of TV was the McCarthy hearings and the news reels of the Korean war. I also lived through most of the cold war, which by the way never ended much like our own civil war. Russia is a belligerent nation, always has been. Allowing them to just do as they like is a recipe for disaster for the rest of us. If you want another view point, talk to the Finland people and ask them how they like their neighbor. Your statements of an elected tyrant being the result of an open and fair election is bs and you know it. Hell, trump is not an elected president. When oligarchs get involved, all bets are off. Oligarchs have been around for as long as dictators and have acted the same way just as long, Russian as well.

USA has meddled in more than 128 foreign elections, and invaded or staged coups in more nations than you can count, just since 1945. It has killed Millions of civilians since 1945..and you say *Russia*, is the belligerent nation? 🤣

BTW, if you know any Russians, you can ask them what they think. I know several and to a person, they want the US to do more, not back off. I’ve been to Russia and even there, in quite places, when you talk to them alone, most will say the same thing. Do more and don’t stop. Your view seems to discount those living under such a regime. Quality of life means something and many of them would rather fight than live that way, they just need some help. Want more opinions, go ask Ukrainian Russians, most of them will say the same thing. They are being abandoned by trump to placate Putin and don’t like it. Yes, the US has done some awful things, messed up Iran, Chile and most of central America. A lot of wrong doing which should have beed prosecuted. The fact that the war hawks like the Bush administration did terrible things does not mean that all our incursions were wrong. Do a better job of picking your subjects to fit the argument you are making.

I know Russians, and from what they claim none of what you speak of is true. I know Ukrainians and many of them will tell you the same thing about your thoughts. You have too much preconceived hate and most likely, too little character to do research, yourself.

Ok, now I know you are a bot. You have not talked too many US Russians nor read what Ukrainians are saying on this platform. End of conversation. I do hope Russia collapses, from the debris may come a decent nation created by the Russian people, many I found to be very intelligent, human and pleasant. Good bye,

I am guessing, since your responses seem to be almost identical to Hillary Clinton‘s that you most likely are related to Andrew Klein, who has connections to John Podesta, and “Pizzagate”. Can’t wait till you’re in shackles.

No… I just wouldn’t be from that part of the world at all. You’re a blooming idiot.
