Wow! Nevertheless, the NY Times manages to insert some propaganda, such as the exaggerated number of Russian deaths and that Putin "brandished" nuclear weapons. Still, this is a start.

If we could go back to 1992 and observe American social and political meddling (NED/USAID) that fertilized the ground for Ukraine's love of Europe and hatred of Russia—Victoria Nuland's brag of spending $5 billion on 'democracy promotion—we would see more American responsibility for this tragedy. Likewise, we know that the Americans nurtured the Ukrainian Banderite Nazis after WWII, but since they were 'Johnny on the spot' for the Maidan Coup, I believe the CIA kept them on a retainer all these years.

Way more Ukrainians have been killed than Russians. When will they admit that?

Doesn't matter. The truth is the truth, regardless of whether US yellow journalism endorses it or not. The American public is hardly ever allowed to see the truth of any situation.

Why is it the truth only comes out after the lives are lost and the damage done?

Where was the F’ing NYT when the truth should have been told and was there to see for all who paying attention? Prestitutes, all for one and one for all.

The NYT is a mouthpiece of the American empire. As usual late, botched and totally useless for a bunch of people who knew very well, that every major war is an outcome imperial American policy. After all, “ War gives meaning to America (Chris Hedges)

I’m a Veteran. I don’t want to believe this, but I know it’s true given what they’ve been doing since Vietnam.

Could it be the New York Times would rather we focus on another war for Israel?

Why did the Times get the green light on this? To distract from admin promises to end the war which are stalled? This sure shows the reason for Russian intransigence.

Or to slowly admit all and dump in Trump’s lap

I do not know how this could get dumped on his lap. The article did its best to obscure the fact that all of this happened under a president, who likely didn't know what all his subordinates were doing. But everyone should know who to blame. Austin telling Zelensky to start drafting young Ukrainian men was the cherry on top of this awful sundae. I can't legitimately believe that they are people this callous and this evil.

Now we can slowly start having a grown up conversation in the West as to whether or not this entire US-made strategy was worth it, whether this was good for Europe, and whether Europe wants to be allied with a power that schemes this kind of long-term destabilisation and negation of European interests.

And we can start talking about it without being accused of "pushing the Putin narrative".

.

It's a small step, yet it's a big step.

I wonder who exactly this "stunning" drain is designed to justify Western intervention in this war?! The message is especially ridiculous: "Shoot at the coordinates we specified, and you'll get lucky." The thesis about the "uncontrollability" of Ukrainians and their "reckless arrogance", "concealment of intentions" (??!) In operational matters, he goes through the entire narrative, thereby removing responsibility from the Americans! "My God, we knew absolutely nothing about the Ukrainians' plans for Operation Kursk!" Ha ha ha... Probably, the Ukrainian armored vehicles passed unnoticed from Sumy region... Underground, by gas (oil?) a pipe to Russia?! Bottom line: "If these Ukrainian donkeys had listened to us, everything would have been fine. Now fire us-we're washing our hands of it!"

The underlying and hidden agenda is wilder and more disgusting than you know!

The City of London, appeasing the Khazarian Mafia, is behind the build up of hatred against its old enemy, Russia. Hear about this Ukrainian billionaire and his diabolical plan:

Yes, finally.

NYT is just in CYA mode trying to salvage some shred of credibility after running cover for every deep state scam in the last 20 years.

One thing revealed is that someone thought a 50/50 chance of nuclear war was worth rolling the dice on. We still have no idea who was really in charge, no idea where half the money went, and no one is talking.

I hope when the investigations are over Federal prisons will need more cells.
