Some Ukraine Background

 Remember Kosovo! (The U.S. "invades" a breakaway Serbian/Yugoslavian area with its military). Russians are doing the same thing.

 
 
 
Here is the "loyal" opposition (from Mikethemadbiologist's blog):

We give you U.S. Republican Senator Tommy Tuberville (boldface mine):

Tuberville discussed the escalating tensions between Russia and Ukraine. He claims that a large part of Vladimir Putin’s desire for further annexation of Ukrainian land is due to the amount of farmland in Ukraine.

“He can’t feed his people,” Tuberville said. “It’s a communist country, so he can’t feed his people, so they need more farmland.”

If Alabama voters are this stupid, maybe, like happens in D.C., Congress should have to approve their budgets too.

Aside: Admittedly, the Substack Bois and the Anti-Antis have said stupid shit, but I think this takes the prize

 

More from Professor Mearscheimer (the R. Wendell Harrison Distinguished Service Professor in Political Science):



Also: Highly recommended, a nuanced critique of Mearscheimer's stance in the videos above.
