I don't get your point, so since Putin is waging a misinformation campaign I am supposed to believe everyting that comes from the establishment?

Fomented divisiveness is good for party business and very good for media business. We have our collective representative furniture and their media accomplices right "where they want us" and like to pretend one's better than the other. But it's actually who we're against that matters at the ballot box. Manufactured influence (lies) are just another tool in the bag...a means to a rationalized end and no crises will escape uncapitalized.

Mostly saying that if points are being used in Russian state media to justify the invasion, there's probably a good chance that they're bending the truth and parroting those same points steers the conversation in a way that isn't helpful.

I'm a no on committing boots on the ground after watching the Afghan withdrawal. No one here other than in a couple links has touched on that debacle and it's significance to what is going on now.

How do we solve a problem like Putin? Five leading writers on Russia have their say
The Russian president’s invasion of Ukraine threatens the safety of the entire world. Writers on Russian history and politics try to suggest a way forward
Edit: I posted before I'd finished (it's long), the last author, I think, draws some powerful parallels between Russia and the US in terms of psychology and propaganda. How and why it's effective. None of them offer much hope for a "good" resolution. Even if this particular invasion continues to falter.

I missed this though almost spit my coffee! Gold!
where is the US humanity in Yemen?
No those who can voteLike America - democracy is only for those who can pay for it
Like in Ukraine
Zelenskyy suspends Ukrainian opposition parties with 'ties' to Russia, warns of 'harsh response' if they don't comply with ban
"Everyone must now take care of the interests of our state, the interests of Ukraine," Zelenskyy said. "Because it is for the sake of life."

We certainly failed there. Should we continue to just fail in order to keep our streak alive?
I would worry about the vacuum if Putin looses control as its a big country with nukes 1000's of miles apart seems like it would be easy for one or some to go missing or fall into terrorist hands and control> might end up with Ukraine getting control of a few nukes.

At this point - one crazy group with a random missing warhead they don't know how to operate or deliver is less of a concern than Mr. Putin having 6,000 of them, so my vote is still for him to go.

Failed? are you saying there is no longer a humanitarian issue in Yemen? Why do you not wanna help Yemen?
I said we failed, we as in the USA.
Happy to help right that ship. Who would you like me to talk to about it?

Candace Owens Goes Viral With Response To New York Times Reporter’s Email Citing, Yup, The New York Times
Candace Owens went viral last month after she responded to a New York Times reporter with citations from the newspaper after the reporter seemed to suggest Owens was echoing Russian state media when she said Ukraine, a nation widely known for its corruption, is corrupt. “Received an email from...

And this is exactly the kind of score keeping that is the problem. The issue of importance is not if Ukraine has corruption or not (it clearly does) - it is when/how do we prevent Putin from recreating Stalin’s empire. I would like to see both Ms. Owens and the NYTimes spend their energy on that question. But that is hard and doesn’t generate clicks - so instead they take tangential shots at one another and smuggly declare “wins”. But how many homes in Ukraine were saved by this exercise? How many children were fed? How many steps did we take backwards from a nuclear exchange with Putin?The NYT had their wings clipped. Not even close to a fair fight.

BHR - you have posted hundreds of this type of post on various topics over the last few years. How about putting down your team red scorecard and quit enjoying the gamesmanship quite as much as you seem to.
Amazing considering the threads related to the Trump Administration. Your comment is spot on. It is tribalized, trench warfare from the liberals and conservatives. The meme's, the cartoons, etc.
When it's one side, the other gets butthurt. The other? Meh...
To ignore for sake of backpatting / pom *pomming (*added word for those keeping score
) their tribe's Kool aid King is a faulty setting to suggest addressing current McGaffe and side kick are off limits. Meanwhile, Tweety Trump was and is fair game... No issue when headlines spoke of Republican Daines dunce move to tweet Ukraine Prez location... meanwhile had the article been actually read the liberal bent article had a small excerpt regarding others (D&R) also did the same... But headline sure yanked eyes!
Result? Booing of Daines (without reading the article or intentionally omitting the referenced others)...
However, share accurate commentary of Biden, Harris, Pelosi and Big Fin gets hailed by others who declare FOUL!
it goes both ways from what Randy has shared in past instances... he gets pulled whenever the "other" side objects.
Nature of the beast though for God sake, take your blinders off... this administration is on the hot seat.
Praise where praise be and booing where boos be. Haha... Boos-be. Making up fun words along the way for sake of making this a bit light hearted.
We're Anericans. Staunch R or D, some lean R and(or) D.
It's part of the discussion. Ukraine / Russia is specifically involved with significant U.S. interest.
all love HT. I'm sure I don't win hearts and minds from this nor am I seeking pom pom cheers... just sayin.
Enjoy. A whoopload of info has been great from all sides and those in the middle.
Not directed at you VG, leapfrog g off your post. Now, probably 10 pages since to catch up.

Not OK with me. If they meet OU kicks their butt. Seriously, if you have a spare minute listen to OU HC Brent Venables talk about their SOUL program, which he imported from Clemson. What the whole country needs. Basically teach young men to deal with life in an ethical way, not just ball. Sooner born and Sooner bred, and I don't care if they go 6/4 next year, it's the right message. Sorry for the derail. Full stop.
