The America Haters On The Left Are As Deluded As FOX And The Other Putin Mouthpieces I Really Have To Wonder About Their Funding After This Week

Ukrainians Doubt a Russian Invasion Is Imminent as U.S. Peace Groups Urge Biden to Halt Escalation

The United States and Russia sparred on Monday over the crisis in Ukraine at the United Nations Security Council. Meanwhile, U.S. senators are preparing to unveil a bill that would target Russian President Vladimir Putin, Russian banks and other entities with sanctions. To discuss the Ukraine crisis, we’re joined by the co-founder of CodePink, Medea Benjamin, who says “we need the voice of the American people” to oppose U.S. escalation and also calls on U.S. progressives to vocalize their opposition to fueling a war in Europe. We also speak with Ukrainian sociologist Volodymyr Ishchenko, who says Ukrainian intelligence does not see a Russian invasion as likely or economically wise for Russia.

Of course, if you go to the website for DN! it's different, now, now that there's no denying that everything that was said on the show then was proved to be wrong.   But it's still America is always wrong and to blame for it all, as in this piece posted today:

Filipino Scholar Walden Bello on Why the Global South Is Suspicious of U.S. Motives in Ukraine War

We speak with acclaimed Filipino scholar and activist Walden Bello on the Global South’s response to the unfolding crisis in Ukraine. Bello says there’s hesitation from many world leaders to take an active role in the crisis, arguing that there is a lack of explicit national interests and a general suspicion the U.S. provoked the invasion to take advantage of the subsequent backlash against Russia. He says people in the Global South realize that ever since the Soviet Union fell apart, ”NATO and the U.S. tried to take advantage of it in an aggressive eastward expansion of NATO right onto the countries that would border the Soviet Union.” Bello also expresses fear the U.S. may try to stoke tensions with China over Taiwan, saying, “China’s not interested at this point in any sort of military conflict that would jeopardize what is its big reputation right now of peaceful economic diplomacy.”

The knee jerk, cultural America Always Wrong habit of the secular left, from Amy Goodman and her crew, so many of her regulars, from Katrina Vanden Heuvel and so many who get published in The Nation, from the libertarian crap from the likes of Glenn Greenwald and Laura Poitras , Julian Assange, that is taken by such a left as being of the left on the basis of their Democrat bashing and pro-Putinism even as it's indistinguishable from FOX in its content.  It all shows that there is a real need to break with such a left, what I generally think of as the "secular left."  I have a strong feeling that Putin has actually had the kind or role in covert funding that the overtly fascist right attributed to George Soros.  It's a feeling because I haven't seen any direct evidence but this isn't any kind of a mistake or a coincidence.

There is much to blame the United States for but Putin's invasion of Ukraine, the countries that, as well, suffered under Soviet domination for two generations after WWII wanting to prevent Putin from invading them in his wet dream of being Ivan The Terrible for Today cannot be blamed on the United States at all.  Considering the successful attack on the United States, using our own idiotically self-inflicted weaknesses - weaknesses championed by the idiotic play left as it was exploited by the fascists, they join with our indigenous fascist class as assetts for Putin.
