More bullshit Realpolitik.. It's imperialism plain and simple. If we followed that reasoning the world would be an Orwellian nightmare divided up into three power blocks and none of us would be free of autocratic one-party government leadership. Fuck that. Go Ukraine. EDIT.. also re Scott Ritter down below.. kind of ironic how US-born detractors of the USA seem quite happy to keep the old Cold War power structures of USA vs. Russia in place and are willing to throw any small nations at the feet of one of the two.

Naming such dumbasses intellectuals appears to be an insult even to the Simpsons.
Btw, good moning †ø you, too.

morning. Yep, a lot of people on both sides of the fence fall for it.

For years, the political scientist has claimed that Putin’s aggression toward Ukraine is caused by Western intervention. Have recent events changed his mind?

It’s not imperialism; this is great-power politics.

They don't need the internet to run PowerPoint or whatever app they used to create their map. And "No" a war isn't underway there unless the Ukrainians have mounted an offensive and invaded Belarus.

What paper maps are you looking at... trying to find some buried treasure somewhere?

Sorry, all you old white men look the same to me.

Oh, and I'm just trying to find my way to Albuquerque, that's what I use a paper map for.
