Just your regular reminder that the US empire (A) had solid intelligence that this war was coming, (B) knew they could prevent it by making very reasonable, low-cost concessions like promising not to add a nation to NATO that they didn’t want to add anyway, and (C) chose not to.

The acts of a criminal regime, the most destructive the planet has ever endured. Karma is on the way, though.
I’m turning 75—there’s no Tooth Fairy? Then I’d better keep all my teeth
if there’s no annuity in them!
Wait, are you saying Putin killed the the tooth fairy?
Your speaking my language Caitlin. I hope it's the language of millions upon millions, and that they have the courage to speak it everywhere.
This event was looked at as a "win-win" by the worst people. A lot of poor Russians & Ukrainians are losing.
Best ever explained.
The pharmaceutical industrial complex set the bar high with they're predatory capitalist rape of planet and people by developing Covid-19 ; now the arms and energy industrial complexes want to turn it into a oligarch corporate gangbang. #generalstrikenow
Last year Putin/Lavrov said that they would strike the executive source of attacks, so if the conflict appears to be becoming a quagmire the focus will turn to UK/US/DE/IL, probaby before RO/PL bases etc
BRAVO! Your best piece yet, IMO
💯 👍🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Empires never concede on anything. And they never forget. They always overreact to any kind of resistance to their will.
What Rome did to Carthage is the perfect example.
It's okay, folks. People like Stephen Colbert, Larry Summers and George Takei are willing to pay more for gas and food to defeat Russian tyranny.
Personally, I'm willing to pay more for gas and food to defeat tyranny in the United States. 👍
Thanks Tim, once again masterfully articulated. How media blatantyl lying, I wish I would have never seen these time. But listening to you , Richard Madhurst and few other sane voices does make us feel bit comfortable. Human tendency or psychology to believe in authoritative narrative has been exploited by democratic Nazis worse than any other systems on planet. Recently US military "biolabs in many countries" related news breaking. Chinese spokesperson has made a statement. Mumbo-jumbo Media will never utter a word.
Again, very depressing but right on.
The US led western alliance has no choice but to defend the primacy of the US dollar which value is based solely on its global military hegemony.
