Citizens are getting pissed
It’s been a momentous week in the Proxy War. If you want a thoughtful, neutral take on the Moscow terrorist attack, former British diplomat and author Alistair Cooke wrote a piece for AlJazeera headlined, “The Crocus Concert Hall Atrocity: No Going Back.”
Cooke explained why the U.S. seems hell-bent on denying Ukraine involvement in the attack. It’s simple. If Ukraine is involved, and people find out, it could lead to loss of support for Kyiv...
As far as I can tell from publicly-available information, there are two main reasons why Russia suspects Ukraine was involved: that the terrorists were fleeing toward Ukraine, obviously expecting to be able to somehow cross the heavily-defended wartime border. And second, the Russians announced over the last couple days that they found emails and direct messages on the terrorists’ devices showing cryptocurrency payments received from Ukraine.
You could also add to those facts that Ukraine had motive and had opportunity. It seems very odd that, at this point, anyone would rule out Ukraine. ...
As for the war, things are not going well for Ukraine. Yesterday, the Washington Post ran a strange op-ed. It was strange because the op-ed was written by a Washington Post reporter, who had interviewed former comedian Zelensky for the story. ...
The … article? op-ed? ... included a threat, right in the very first paragraph:
"President Volodymyr Zelensky, the actor who became a wartime president, delivered a stark message to Congress in an interview on Thursday as Russian missiles were pounding southern Ukraine: Give us the weapons to stop the Russian attacks, or Ukraine will escalate its counterattacks on Russia’s airfields, energy facilities and other strategic targets."
Hmm. I get why Zelensky’s terroristic counterattacks would be a threat against Russia. But why were they also a threat against Congress? Is Zelensky tacitly admitting that the U.S.’s infrastructure is also at risk if Ukraine keeps attacking Russia’s infrastructure?
In other words, Zelensky seems essentially to be admitting that Russia blows up a U.S. refinery every time Ukraine blows up one of Russia’s refineries.
Which is what we’ve been saying all along.
This thing is still going?
"How is hitting refineries of attacking country a "terroristic" anything?"

Yesterday, Russia Today ran a story fraught with implications headlined, “Moscow demands that Kiev surrender terrorism suspects.” Corporate media completely ignored the story.
Russia’s formally-presented demand for Ukraine’s terrorists included but was not limited to the recent Crocus City Hall concert hall attack, which left at least 144 people dead and over 500 injured. Among other reasons, the Russian government cited Ukraine’s assassination of a Russian military blogger, its car-bombing of a journalist Daria Dugina, its bombing of the Crimean Bridge killing several civilians, its recent raids on small Russian border villages, and its attacks on Russia’s polling places during the recent election.
Nobody but Ukraine seriously disputes Ukraine’s officially involvement in multiple acts of terrorism against Russia over the last couple years...
Because the Obama/Biden neocons have abandoned the rule of law in favor of the rule of convenience, or the rule of justification, the U.N. will not hold Ukraine to account, condemn it, criticize it, or even talk to it in a stern tone of voice. Especially not with all the American and British octopus tentacles probably wrapped around these attacks. Terrorism is okay when we say it is.
So the Russian demands are more interesting for what they imply rather than for making anything happen. The West will ignore Russia’s formal linkage of Ukraine to the Moscow terror attack. Ukraine is probably yukking it up about the demand to hand over its spy chief, Malyuk. Like that will ever happen. But, by pushing forward in the political/legal domain, Moscow is pressuring the failing Ukraine regime and highlighting the West’s hypocrisy and moral poverty.
And Putin doesn't have yachts and property? How about Obama? My wife makes as much as he did as POTUS and we don't have multiple properties everywhere. Definitely not in Martha's Vineyard.
He's obviously grifting from the money coming in, I won't deny that. But everyone does it in leadership.
Engh, you're like most things I have to deal with.

Yourself? I know you don't have a wife.
I don't think you have enough self awareness for me to really consider you human.
You live in a world where you work on computers. That's your only skill.
Do you know ANYONE that served in Afghanistan or Iraq?
That money was spent on American jobs by a large factor.
You likely didn't have a job without these "wars."
As it usually goes with you, you hate the game AND the player.
And Putin doesn't have yachts and property?
