Great capture of the current sentiment against Russia, but please don't forget the history and the mentality that is historically engrained against Russia and the Russians. I remember getting drafted in the militairy in 1991, and every training, scenario and the whole mentality was done with Russia as the enemy. Imagine that being the case since the cold war, and you have yourself some fine embedding of Russia as the baddie in the population.

great post, TQ.

WaPO: "Nordstream was the work of professionals!" (many months after Hersh's research they finally got that right, bless them). however, still giving it a propaganda spin: 'professionals' from where: Ukr? Russ? and burying the shocker: "the US was warned months in advance". so....apparently all the different warring parties were involved, according to the WaPo? well then, if they can coöperate on a horrific attack on an underwater gaspipe (followed by bombing a dam), then perhaps they could grow some b*lls and coöperate on peace talks.

also let's not forget the sordid role of the Ukrainian oligarchs (Kolomoyski et.al.) whose financial backing is instrumental in propping up Zelensky and the thugs-in-suits strutting around Kiev pretending to be 'government'.
