I don't get that at all. Putin is sticking to his neo-Nazi story as one of his justifications for invading the Ukraine. By that same logic, he could invade the US. He won't, but his logic still doesn't hold water, so there's clearly some other reason for his invasion. |
Nope. I live in MA in a lovely green leafy suburb of Boston. There's nothing wrong with understanding history and context and stepping out of one's comfort zone in trying to understand other people's perspectives. The world is not made up of simplistic stories where there is one "right" and one "wrong" side. I've never watched a Tucker Carlson interview before but I'm watching his one with Putin now and I am struck by the amount of time he is allowing Putin to provide his perspective of historic context. |
Generally speaking, thoughtful people don’t look to propaganda outlets for “other perspectives,” and you certainly don’t need Vladimir Putin to provide historical context. You’re getting played. Happily, apparently. |
+1 All if these people turning to "alternative facts" is just pathetic. They *think* they are smarter than everyone else, but at the end of the day, not so much. |
You've been brainwashed. |
By that logic he needs to invade Russia because there are lots of neo-Nazis in Russia. |
Putin isn't giving historic context. He's giving his own made-up fairy tales as cover for his revanchist imperialism. |
As have you. Everyone’s brainwashed to a certain extent or another by whatever media they watch. All media is propaganda, which is what the middlebrow boomer Blue MAGA contingent on here fails to acknowledge because they’re stuck in their comfortable petit bourgeois bubble. |
| Has Tucker Carlson returned safely to the United States or is Putin housing him? |
“Petit bourgeois bubble”? “Boomer blue MAGA”? What? No, not all media is propaganda. That’s what people who make propaganda want people to think. |
Putin considers parts of Ukraine to be ethnically Russian. So, by his logic, he is invading Russia to remove the neo-Nazi threat. It's logically consistent, but the premise is flawed. |
|
He wants Ukraine because it used to be “his”
He wants Ukraine because he wants access to the sea ports The end |
It’s not even logically consistent. |
It would be nice if he just stayed in Russia where he belongs. |
