I know these people. I went to school with them. They are pretty, to put it in the vernacular, fucked up. But in special and especially dangerous ways. You nailed it Scott. They were, beyond doubt, connected to one or both attempts on Trump's and many other lives.Their CIA-indoctrination from birth has made them psychopaths. When Russia speaks of DE-nazification, the US and the world should take note because these 'Ukrainians' are the Nazis.

It is amazing to me that our history lessons never spoke of the conflicts, not in war but overarching, the real reasons we do not seem able to coexist.

What I have learned this week is that even the current minister of defense in Germany is a descent of a ukrainian (galizian) military family.

This is how even the oldest worker party is co-opted and infiltrated by the people they have vowed to fight against and was their very reason to come into existence in the first place.

I came to the States in 1984 from The Netherlands. I lived in Philadelphia in a high rise across the PECO tower. Messages were, and still are, displayed atop the structure. I was mesmerized by the message 'FREE UKRAINE' that was rotating around there all the time. I thought what country is this? But then I found active communities of Trotskyists and communists on UPenn campus and it made sense to me somehow...

R.E.M.'s got a song for you, Scott. No, not "It's the End of the World As We Know It (And I Feel Fine)" but this one: https://youtu.be/Az5dzXRRh4E?si=4DUtA04TvtL0J63A
