I'm not sure if you're calling Putin a stupid man that is easily manipulated or incompetent. No politician ever in their lives did anything in good faith, Putin included. You must be very naive to think that.
That's an empty speculation. Knowing and preparing for a possibly are completely different things. Also, if you note the timing on the war, it stared a month before a US company was about to start extracting oil and gas from the Ukraine territory and cut off Russia from Europe as supplier. The reason for the invasion was pure greed and not some stupid notions of NATO expansion or cries for help from Russian separatist groups.
Very cool that the argument boils down to "of course we were going to trick you, you are stupid for being tricked." I guess the lesson the world should learn is to never trust a Euroid and to respond to European peace overtures with uncompromising force.
Would you say Ukraine was "preparing for a possibly (sic)" when its Nazi special forces were creating Hitlerjugend-style child soldier training camps?
"My country has broken hundreds of treaties and wipes its ass with international law, but it's actually OK because it's impossible for anyone to operate differently"
"Anyway, liberal democracy is the best because I get to choose the bad faith actor who will fuck me over."
They are parroting Russian propaganda. The one where “the west” is stipid, cunning, strong, and rotting all at the same time.
As a LLM (Leninist Language Model), I am programmed to parrot Russian propaganda at all times from the basement of the FSB Building in Lubyanka Square.
Beep Bloop.
What? There is no contradiction. The West has a global hegemony enforced by the world's biggest, most expensive murder organization. A lot of work and intelligent minds go into maintaining this hegemony, but the society it's built on is falling apart.
I don't think you would be calling this "propaganda" if you spoke to any regular people around you.
Yup, stupid and cunning. Cunning in the sense that they have a playbook developed over 7 decades to enforce their global hegemony which works damn well. Stupid in the sense that they don't realise that this is not the meta anymore. Think of it as a difference in tactics and strategy.
Reality is now Russian propaganda.
Say what you want, but at least Putin has proven he knows what a redline means.
Do not defame Parenti's good name like that you filthy lib.
