Iran can also claim that its nuclear enrichment is peaceful, and they have no intention (FOR NOW!) of developing nuclear weapons. Why not just believe them? That logic is native and stupid. Country leaders aren’t supposed to totally ignore the very real possibility that experts say is easy to achieve.
“Cool. But this is about Russia.”
Funny how this tactic is used over and over by the USA. “Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain, that’s whataboutism.” “Stop pointing out double standards and hypocrisy, that’s whataboutism.” “We are only here to talk about this other country. Sure if the situation was reversed we’d do a lot worse, but this isn’t about us.”
Oh how convenient. The same tactic is used by pretty much anyone with an agenda. Everyone outside the bubble is rightly exasperated by this technique of shutting down all possible good faith discussion. It is also why the rest of the world outside the NATO bubble (especially the global south) doesn’t buy what the US is selling… neither that NATO is purely defensive, nor that US hegemony is a net good, nor that Russia’s reaction was “unprovoked”. Really, people polled around the world outside the NATO bubble blame NATO and USA. For years, since 2003 at least. Every year. It’s just not reported here.
I am glad you support countries joining military alliances against each other. Worked very well for triggering WW1, but I’m sure that will never happen again.
By the way, joining an economic alliance like BRICS is far more peaceful and I support it.

Did you watch the video? I don’t care who says the facts as long as they say true facts. The substance is what matters. The pitch where the guy attempts to invite his viewers to learn how to be unscrupulous comes at the very end of the video - I found it weird and ignored it. The rest of the video is great and exposes BlackRock’s role in plundering Ukraine.
But hey — we know how the establishment operates by now. Assange reveals their corruption, but they are more upset that it was revealed, not the corruption itself. And same here. The video exposes the truth with all mainstream sources - so adhominem and don’t watch it!
