Amongst many things, Douglas Macgregor distinguishes between Russia’s strategic attacks upon Ukrainian energy infrastructure used by their military and the indiscriminate Himar strikes upon civilian areas in Donetsk, Lugansk and Crimea during this excellent, far ranging interview with Aaron Maté of The Grayzone.
Thanks great summary, thanks. We can be thankful this morning that cooler heads have prevailed for now. Maybe common sense has a chance of prevailing after all.
Thank you KW. I admire your positivity however, I think it's going to become far worse before it gets better with a return to some form of common sense. Far too many people are stuck in the propaganda muck which they have swallowed hook, line and sinker.
Here is the latest that I am just looking into: "Inside Kherson's torture chambers where Russians electrocuted anyone who went against them" https://archive.ph/dfYHY
They are absolutely desperately focused upon continuing the Russia Bad, Ukraine Good narrative.
Agree that too much positivity in the face of all this would be pollyanna-ish. Why I qualified it as "for now". We still have a super human amount of work to do. To the tasks ahead!
I do agree with you KW that we have to remain positive in terms of more people waking up to the reality of the propaganda and lies. It certainly does feel like a Herculean task in this current space in time yet we carry on.
Yes, it is considerably weighty. But then I don't imagine those traitors to the British Empire who were our founding ancestors imagined that they would have it easy. They all faced hanging or worse if they lost. But realistically speaking we are immersed in a very different world today.
