so this is a sequel to the last post here.
I’ve spent time in at least 4 former Soviet republics, as far as I know, so I’ll just start by saying the fact that two of these could be at war to me seems insane. But… well, every news outlet seems to agree. There really is a war… people are dying. Over a million refugees fled. So far.
I am even more shocked by these… “history” panelists who keep blaming Russia for everything. This is just not okay. I guess they mention Ukrainian students in the audience… so perhaps some of this is just about telling people what they want to hear. But don’t be fooled. This is not good history. Watch Jimmy Dore for good history. Seriously. Oliver Stone also made a pretty good movie on Ukraine in 2019. He tries to present a balanced view.
If Tim Snyder truly doesn’t want war, the question I would ask is WHAT HAS THE UNITED STATES BEEN DOING, in these 30 years, which contributed to this conflict? Let’s start with that, Tim.
I watched the video twice. And what do they talk about? Rebuilding Russian Empire? Interesting… Putin is deranged? So you guys are Psychologists, too, huh? Nellie is talking about Abandoned pets at some point. I think they’re just trying to piss me off… Snyder is still telling people that Crimea was SEIZED… VIOLENTELY. as if the voice of Crimeans at the 2014 referendum counts for nothing.
He says he is Pro-facts and Anti-propaganda.
No, Tim Snyder. You ARE full of shit.
Why aren’t Russian security concerns about Nato expansion Mentioned? Why aren’t the Neo-Nazi battalions mentioned? Why isn’t the 2014 coup discussed, and the failure of Ukraine to abide by Minsk agreements?
Why, Tim? Why? You say you want to talk to Russians. Well here I am. Stop lying.
