In reply to the discussion: Expect to be inundated with a lot of disinformation about the situation in Ukraine. Even here at DU. [View all]Sympthsical
(10,411 posts)23. I laughed
Can't figure misinformation over a football game, but international diplomacy? Tch, cakewalk.
I am enjoying, "If you don't want war, you're pro-Russia," spin happening. Seems . . . Republicanish. Actually, anything disagreeable is pro-Russia these days, so who knows.
I have not been following the Ukraine situation, so I have almost zero knowledgeable opinion on it outside of Putin is aggressive and expansionist. So . . . I don't discuss it.
Which is kind of a radical position to take, admittedly.

Exactly. Putin cries for a buffer from NATO. But Ukraine is the one who needs a buffer from Putin.

putin's owned GOP congresspeople are probably going to appeal to the anti-vax /maskers on this one.

Just as an example about how posts were here in 2014-15 on this topic, a brief sample.
