I see indifference and cowardice as self-serving rather than good-natured. The man that ignores the child being fiddled next door has to share some guilt.
Yet again, I am saddened that you seem to think that Vladimir Putin is a wise leader who had no choice but to try to rid Ukraine (which does not really exist, it was just a silly mistake of Lenin or Stalin who otherwise were such wonderful people) of those horrible Jews. You wrote "As the end of empire nears, those loops and cycles run tighter and tighter. Yes, the end of the Russian empire nears, and it was high time. New empires are expanding, the Chinese empire in particular. India and Japan and Turkey are also enjoying the weakness of their historical enemy. Crushing democracy in Ukraine was important (even though it was a badly flawed democracy) precisely because Ukraine has been a bread-basket and a vacation destination and the Black Sea harbour since Russia's empire project began, not that very many centuries ago. Reminds me of the relation between Ireland and England. One cannot allow Eastern Slavs to see that Eastern Slavs can hold elections which leads to power changing hands, without fixing the vote. I wonder Ignaz, are you also such a great fan of the leader of Belarus? Really: I urge you to read more widely; read history books which present a different point of view on the history of Ukraine. Your penetrating analysis of the Palestinian question is discredited by your apparent love of psychopathic autocrats.
You've deliberately attempted to put words in our mouths. You're actively projecting your own unfounded interpretation.
"As the end of empire nears, those loops and cycles run tighter and tighter," is not a reference to the Russian empire.
Nothing was said about specific ethnic groups I.e. the ejection of Jews from Ukraine.
The view of the Ukraine war being Russia defending its red line is proven by Russia's written statements and actions, as well as published American strategy that it has pursued i.e. It's a fair statement from both sides.
It would also be fair to say "Ukraine was a deliberately US fomented situation to damage Russia by over extending it and triggering it into strategic errors that escalated into combat losses in a proxy war in Ukraine."
Democracy doesn't exist in Ukraine. There was a western backed coup and now democracy has been suspended and the opposition crushed.
Nothing has been said about Lukashenko.
You are literally projecting and asserting with zero basis.
Another big post, much admired but with the caveat that I never followed each link e.g., fuck watching CNN. I'm too tired to keep pointing out the obvious propaganda. I could imagine a cartoon wherein Von der Leyen is part of the Red Cow Cult - https://mikehampton.substack.com/p/red-cow-god-war-middle-east-al-aqsa
Most humans aren't good-natured.

The depth I will go to win an argument :)
