"The Western world is united as never before in hating Putin. Propaganda and censorship surpass even World War levels. The Russians surely want this “operation” to end soon, as it is costly to them in many ways. The Americans rejected any effort to prevent it, did everything to provoke it, and will extract whatever advantages they can from its continuation." Diana Johnstone
Diana Johnstone's simple explanation as to why the Third Reich was only defeated through Russian effort in weakening Nazi forces available to repel the Normandy landings in WWII resoundingly identifies the ingratitude of greedy selfish western countries.
That for fifteen years the US led Western countries & their media have been demonising Putin, the man who challenged it with "“the unipolar world” being imposed by the United States and (Putin) emphasized Russia’s desire to “interact with responsible and independent partners with whom we could work together in constructing a fair and democratic world order that would ensure security and prosperity not only for a select few, but for all.”
"The reaction of the leading Western partners was indignation, rejection, and a 15-year media campaign portraying Putin as some sort of demonic creature". - the behaviour of puerile irresponsible war mongerers.
Russia should be ruined! Even if they pulled out of Ukraine tomorrow the damage is already done to Ukraine and to the reputation of Russia. Russia will be a pariah and a shit stain on the world for years to come. Frack em I say!
Don't you think that the countries that orchestrated this shitfight be similarly treated?
You will note the sympathy now being expressed toward young stupid captured Russian soldiers for supposedly having been misled by their officers. If as is the case the Ukrainians have been misled by America (2014 overthrow of the Ukrainian government & substitution of the pro US regime) & Russia misled by false NATO promises to enter Ukraine with its weapons aren't they the true criminals & perpetrators?
Another propagandist for Russia. Did nothing to prevent and everything to provoke? when the evidence was right before your eyes for weeks on end and you believe this shit? I hope your getting paid in rubles because thats what this worth
Wake up to your own criminality not just since 2014 when America resulted in the Ukrainian democratically elected government be ousted & a pro US regime elected thus removing the buffer of security that Russia accepted.
Take Monroe legislation & shove it up your orifice where the sun doesn't shine. What's good for you is good for the rest of the world. "A BBC podcast that should be listened to by everyone in the world."
Simply not true. If Russia is ruined, it will be Putin's fault.
The US is very much an accessory before the fact in the Ukrainian conflict. Of course Americans like yourself don't care do you Walt so long as it doesn't affect your privileged lifestyle & only Ukrainians & Russians are maimed, killed & blaimed for what was started by your country's greed, hatred & stupidity. Even Kissinger didn't agree with what you started in the Obama presidency if not before.
@FrayedBear Your resp0onse is an absirdoty/
@wordywalt both? Ffs Walt, first is a BBC broadcast! Yes the second is my perception & belief of America & many of its inhabitants.
Have you looked at the worldwide Ukrainian diaspora? I suspect that it is equal if not greater than the population, excluding Russians & others still living in the Ukraine.
Nothing like citing far right-wing Russian propaganda....
editor in chief of this outfit is now Joe Lauria from Fox fake news and AOL which is owned by AT&T who is the sole funding for the far right-wing One American News which has spewed so much far right-wing garbage even Direct TV is canceling them I rate this as Russian propaganda....
How convenient for your delusion.
