And of course Sheepdog Sanders has to come out and show how much of a neocon agenda loyalist he is now:
Wouldn't the Yugoslavia War with bombing from NATO at least compete for the title of "bloodiest European war"?
Samderes was a supporter of the bombing of Yugoslavia.
Yup, and that’s when Parenti broke up with Sanders.
I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
history started on february 2022 tho
Huh? I thought that history started on October 7, 2023.
you're not wrong either, it started on february 2022 then paused and then resumed in october 7 2023
Looking it up, it does seem that Ukraine war has killed more people but that obviously could be inflationary.
Such a disappointment of a man.
It's also just stupid, even in terms of purely cynical political gain. Three years ago it was certainly politically advantageous to virtue signal support for Ukraine. But we can see which way the wind is blowing now. The US wants to ditch project Ukraine and they are currently in the process of unwinding the heroization propaganda surrounding Zelensky. This public humiliation ritual was just the latest part of that image tarnishing.
And the veil that has hidden the ugly reality of what has been going on in Ukraine for these past years will be slowly lifted by the media so that the US can say "it's not our fault the war was lost, look how corrupt they turned out to be". And many of the European leaders, as well as the Democrats and "progressives" in the US, who insist on tying their political credibility to the sinking ship that is Zelensky may well be dragged down along with him.
If you're going to be a rat at least be a smart one. Know when it's time to jump ship.
He's not a rat, he's a liberal. He's steadfast in his commitment to being wrong.
He pretends not to be one when it's convenient. I will admit he had me fooled back in 2016.
comrade bernie sanders, part of the communist pipeline by being an incompetent socdem.
They keep talking about Russian imperialism but I don’t understand what they mean 😭
They keep talking about Ukrainian democracy but i can't find any. Maybe my definition of democracy is different.
Apparently, according to Bernie "Israel has a right to defend itself" Sanders, democracy is when you cancel elections, ban opposition parties, forbid peace negotiations, place all media under state control, arrest people for social media posts calling for peace, beat up priests, abduct men off the streets into vans and force them to go die in the trenches, murder journalists, and torture regime critics to death in secret prisons.
What do you mean? José Napoleón Duarte was a shining example of democracy in Latin America, supported by the glorious free USA 🦅 Nothing he did could be construed as anti-democracy so Zelensky doing the same thing also isn’t.
Imperialism is when one country crosses the border of any other country, all other context be damned.
