I know how everyone loves to get it on in the name of the war narrative, but settle down just a bit. I tried to speak about Africans being held back form getting away from the war zone by Ukrainians, [1] and all I got was Russian troll accusations. Pretty impressive.

But the call for war is on and one shouldn't be surprised that this is the case. Chris Hedges makes a good case that we essentially goaded Russia into this war, even if Putin is wrong to invade. And he also talks about how, just like every other war, the drumbeat from our media and most centrists means that you can't just speak against the main narrative.
So when I try to point out that Ukraine did have a Nazi issue, to include pogroms against Roma, [2] it's considered Russian troll stuff. Right. Again, no context means we're just falling for the MSM bs. I sense this is going to continue as the need to scream at an object is stronger with our new communication methods.
Shame, because we might just run head first into this nuclear holocaust. I mean, bank runs in Russia may make lots of people happy, but that means destabilization and that means Putin in a corner which means the likelihood of the end of the world. Same with German increase in military spending. Just straight madness out there. All to cheer a team for our elites to distract us some more.
Meanwhile we're starving out an entire nation and.... crickets.
[1] Good to see an example of Polish border guards doing the right thing there.
[2] "Police observed the march but did not intervene. Several city officials, including the mayor, refused to condemn the mob’s hate speech and threats, but acknowledged it “scared Roma [people]” and “made them hide in their homes.”
One Irpin police official referred to the march as a “peaceful gathering.” Did he know that at least one of the leaders of Ukrainian right-wing paramilitary group C14 was among those marching? In 2018, C14 members chased women and small children with rocks and pepper spray, after burning down their tents in an attack on a Roma settlement in Kyiv, but the attackers walked free. Another attack, carried out by a different far-right group near Lviv in 2018, resulted in the death of one person and injuries to several others, including a child."
