Ukraine walked away unilaterally because the US told them to, because the UK sent Boris Johnson.
And since that, about a million Ukrainians have died or been severely wounded. It's a pure proxy war.I'm surprised EU Parliament tolerated this.
Edit:
If anyone would like to discuss how the US blew up Nordstream I'd be happy to talk about that.
holy shit lmao

Incredible, because all the pro-ukraine propaganda videos appearing on WeChat tell me that Ukraine has only had 60,000 casualties
-
Even CornerSpati who's whole thing is mocking the EU, fall for Ukraine's casualty numbers and status reports

Since the US talked the negotiators away from the table, about a million Ukrainians have died or been severely wounded. [emphasis mine]
There's a bit of a difference when you don't cut the quotation short.

Oops yeah. I was just kinda writing them out as I was watching.

he was also the head of the lancet covid commission which stated that the US needs to be investigated as it's suspected of creating covid. it's interesting that none of the links to the report work anymore https://www.thelancet.com/commissions/covid19

Jeffery Sachs is hilarious because he's a real ghoul, playing a real ghoul's game. There's just something hilarious in saying "of course the Russians are mad, I was the one that helped you starved them remember?"
-
Yeah his character arc is a strange one, I don't know if he is motivated by guilt or what
-
He's the type of intellectual that is brutally honest, wants to improve things but lacks ethics. In that sense he is the type of person that feels free to play games with people's lives, but he'll admit when he's wrong and not try to cover it up with other political maguffins.
He knows that shock therapy is bunk because he did it himself and he failed. He isn't trying to rewrite that history as some kind of American nationalism, to avoid talking about his failure. He's the kind of guy that at a certain level he needs and wants to make his own mistakes.

Wasn't the American plan for Germany basically what America has done to Ukraine, except the USSR never took the bait?
-
What do you mean? Russia was responding to the ethnic cleansing taking place in Ukraine, and after all efforts to maintain a truce had failed. The USSR wasn’t dealing with that.
-
Morgenthau wasnt seriously considered - they already knew that they wanted to use germany against the soviets. The soviets wanted a big demilitarized switzerland as a neutral zone.

It's pretty incredible to hear it all laid out like this. We've been fed bits and pieces of this for years. Lots of people have assembled all the pieces into a narrative whole before but this is pretty dense and detailed for being the length of a single speech (lecture, really.)
-
This is an excellent summary, and I'm learning a lot, but I don't recall him mentioning Crimea and I simply dont trust google or any other search engine to help me find a good perspective on what happened there.
I hear liberals present Crimea as an unprovoked invasion and annexation by Russia. Is that the truth of it, an oversimplification, or a complete lie? What happened there, and where can I got to read more about it?

After euromaidan the anti Russian sentiment ramped up and it became clear to ethnic Russians in Ukraine that they were gonnna be in a bad spot. Ukrainian Nazis were on a rampage, so Ethnic Russians in crimea decided to get ahead of it and hold a referendum to join Russia in hopes it would protect them. Documentary Ukraine on Fire covers it well

ooh its still live

It's just a looping livestream to game the algorithm, since this happened a few weeks back--here's a normal video of the whole thing.
This bit from the Q&A actually made me lol:
Europe has a vocation that is rather different from the American tradition and, frankly, from the Anglo-Saxon tradition because it’s been 200 years of Anglo-Saxon hegemony (or aspirational hegemony). The British still believe they run the world. It’s amazing what nostalgia means. They don’t even stop. It’s almost like a Monty Python skit, actually.
But in any event......where was I? I’m thinking of Monty Python when the knight gets all his limbs cut off and says, "Everything’s fine. I’m victorious!" That’s Britain, unfortunately. And so it’s, it’s really terrible.
