I'm afraid your disgust for American imperialism and inequality has backed your show into a corner of irrational blame for all world problems on the US. We certainly deserve scorn and criticism for many things but Putin is a thug and is only really interested in his personal selfish ends and revenging the western world for the end of the soviet empire.
jm, DSweeny & Dvious may think they agree with you, but what the 3 of you share is your continued need to identify with the Evil Empire. Viz.: "We certainly deserve scorn......" You make it clear that whatever the Oligarchy and The Joint Chiefs are up to, you're in. Big mistake. You identify yourself as a chatterer who will n e v e r step into the street and put your body on the line.
To the Oligarchy, a nation-state is just another kind of brand to be used in marketing their wares. And you are buying what they are selling, sadly. aw
Agreed. The 90s called and they want their anti-imperialist framework back. American is no longer the only imperialist out there (unfortunately). We now have China, Russia, Saudi Arabia, Turkey and France. We need to oppose imperialism in all its shapes and forms.
Useful Idiots is getting a little too red diaper babyish of late. The U.S. is bad, week after week. . .I'm sure we screwed up, but worse than Putin? Hope I'm not paying for this. I used to like it.
Whatever we may think of Putin, he is no Stalin. He has not murdered millions or created a gulag archipelago.
Nor is he "irrational," as some pundits rail. He does not want a war with us, which would be worse than ruinous to us both.
Putin is a Russian nationalist, patriot, traditionalist and a cold and ruthless realist looking out to preserve Russia as the great and respected power it once was and he believes it can be again.
You really believe that Putin is worse killer than Clintons, St. Obama or Biden? Did you just fall from Mars?

No, I didn't just fall from Mars. But this isn't a pissing contest of country rulers is it? No, it isn't. The fact is the Putin is a nationalist tyrant who has done more harm to our world at a moment of crisis when we *all* need to come together. He's set humanity back decades and we have forever lost all hope of addressing the climate crisis we all face. Now, don't bother replying because I won't have any further dialog with someone as rude as you.
"Russian President Vladimir Putin said in a TV address Thursday morning that the goal of Russia’s military operation was not to take control of Ukraine, but to “demilitarize” and “de-Nazify” the country. Moments after he spoke, explosions were heard in several Ukrainian cities.
The Russian Defense Ministry said these were “precision” attacks against Ukrainian military installations and that civilians were not being targeted. It said Ukraine’s air force on the ground and its air defenses had been destroyed.
The Ukrainian government, which declared a state of emergency and broke off diplomatic relations with Russia, said an invasion was underway and that Russia had landed forces at the port city of Odessa, on Ukraine’s Black Sea coast, as well as entering from Belarus in the north. It said it had killed 50 Russian troops and shot down six Russian fighter jets, which Russia denied.
Putin said one of the operation’s aims was to arrest certain people in Ukraine, likely the neo-Nazis who burned dozens of unarmed people alive in a building in Odessa in 2014. In his speech Monday, Putin said Moscow knows who they are. Russia said it aims to destroy neo-Nazi brigades, such as Right Sector and the Azov Battalion. "
Obama the POS that he is started this. Hunter made a good living off being Joe Biden's son.
Being against NATO and being against Putin's incursion are not mutually exclusive. There was no imminent danger to Russia that justified his disproportionate actions, and no reason why Biden couldn't have just told Putin, "Ukraine will not be asked to join NATO."
Is there any action an adversary state could take that this show wouldn’t articulate as actually the US’s fault? Perhaps responsibility for an unprovoked war of aggression to invade decapitate and occupy a neighboring democracy lies with the aggressor and not a power on the other side of the planet. Is that really a controversial idea?
I wish you would consider writing about the disparaging media coverage of the Ukraine situation. Watching Russian media versus US, the propaganda is simply amazing. Now countries are censoring outlets for disinformation…I think its a mistake. People should be able to view both sides fro themselves and they would see what I was able to see…a marketing campaign to garner support for each government’s position.
"As Russia invaded Ukraine, beginning at five in the morning, Vladimir Putin’s statement that his purpose was to “de-Nazify” Ukraine clearly disgusted Ukraine’s first-ever Jewish President.
Volodymyr Zelenskyv — whose three great-uncles were murdered in the Holocaust — responded on Twitter that Russia attacked Ukraine just “as Nazi Germany did.”
Does anyone remember how, shortly before the Obama/Hilarity administration all lost their jobs, some Pentagonad was advocating for all-out pre-emptive war with Russia? "We've gamed this hundreds of times, and we know we can't lose"?

Agreed. This show mates Mr. Mate look like the caricature that idiots like Cenk Uyger portray him to be.

On WHO is Putin:

Any country with a nationalist and cold/ruthless killer (yes, Putin *is* a killer) at the helm is a threat to the world.

You won't see this on the news.

You people have lost your minds.
Trump is right about this...listen, then have your fit:

I have to hand it to Joe Biden-- he played Putin like a fiddle.
Putin isn't stupid. Maybe China will join in and put sanctions against the USA. It will fold like a cheap tent.
