I'm not surprised that Blinkin, after watching the above linked video, is a Lefty. He and Neil Young are suck people... But here's the thing that confuses me. Why, with Ukraine long defeated and an established buffer zone from NATO, doesn't Russia declare success, set new borders and rules going forward for future aggression?

Every day I think more about "Three Legs of the stool" and global cooperation.

Yes, I agree, although...

Putin declared both demilitarization and deNaziefication. As long as Nazie pelosie keeps sending weapons and getting botoxes, the war goes on.

Neil Young used to write some good songs, and pretended he can sing. I will never willingly listen to finken satantony again, hopefully, and definitely not Neil fascist folkstwr...

hi Grass, pls keep on singing and playing: we like it and it breaks the algorithms (sounds like a jazz song LOL). btw did I already or not yet forward this substack that has lots of really good info on the not-very-enjoyable Ukr-Russia "show"? as of yesterday apparently so many Ukr troops are 'leaving the front' (aka deserting) that Ukr army leaders put up roadblocks trying to prevent them from disappearing altogether: "....There are reinforced checkpoints on the main roads of the region with “armed men without identification marks” who are looking for Ukrainian soldiers fleeing en masse from the battlefield...." - https://simplicius76.substack.com/
