    The person who is ultimately responsible for almost all of it denounces it. My irony meter collapsed into a black hole.

      In order to not get the “meter collapsed”, some do suggest to actually not trust news as the raw source, where every single word in line is designed for its specific reader. Regardless the amount of true intel inside, everyone will see its own, and behind the lines, too.

      In this case, I would suggest to actually personally investigate more about the situation from Russian’s, Ukraine’s, US’s, and yours country government’s side, without relying on “news” you seem to doing much, sorry. Please do consider the presence of Overton windows and opportunities to manipulate the flow of reader/nation decisions.

      Politics rarely create friendships, if compared to business benefits in long term, unfortunately.

        If news is so unreliable, the next thing is put your foot on the ground and visit the site and talk to people. Nobody have time for that, and i highly doubt you did any of that.

          I did not ever initiate any such discussions, but expressed my opinions in comments only suggesting people to do their actual research. If they would, they would not say a word knowing how it’s all unobvious and intervened, where every single action is done with utter seriousness of calculation of required political, social, economical outcomes.

          Yes, I did step on fields, with numerous colleagues I share my gratitude, support, and love to. Please do stay safe, dear every single Hero…
          This is me:

        Putin is responsible of Trump having any kind of power. And many other kinds of destabilizations around the globe.

        Also, he has continuously shown over the last decades that not following international law is a-ok.

            yes, and the destabilization that has led to this opportunity can be traced back to Russia’s invasion of UA in 2014.

              Reasons I see that this happened now:

              • Trump cares less about international law than any US president in modern history
              • He needed a distraction from other issues that were tanking his numbers
              • Most of the proxy powers that Iran would normally use to respond to attacks on their soil have been destroyed or neutered
              • Mossad probably has some blackmail material on Trump and pressured him into attacking (this last point is speculation)

              These are certainly not all direct results of Russia’s meddling in Ukraine.

    Well, I’m sure there are no other people planning on taking out world leaders and using the US’s actions as a defense.

    Finally (/s), something I agree with Putin on. I feel like we are getting so close to full on WWIII, between this, Russian’s War on Ukraine, Pakastan and Afghanistan and the Palestinian genicide going on. And that is the stuff I can mention off the top of my head.
