C.J. Polychroniou, Dec. 23, 2021: Chomsky: Outdated US Cold War Policy Worsens Ongoing Russia-Ukraine Conflict
That totally justifies killing 50 people in a grocery store. Why would the US force Putin to do this?
If the US hadn’t continually expanded NATO eastward against its stated promises, and hadn’t affected a coup in Ukraine in 2014, and hadn’t flooded Ukraine with weapons under the Trump & Biden administrations, then the Russian invasion probably wouldn’t have happened in the first place.
And there's no way to resolve this without killing 50 people in a grocery store.
Leftists who don't see Putin as a fascist are fucking tragic. I feel sorry for you, bud.
He’s a war criminal who bombed his own people within his own borders in order to get into power. There are virtually no leftists who are confused about what kind of person Putin is.
Then why are you - and Chomsky - making excuses for him?
Turns out it's more complicated than "person does bad things, and so every single action and affect of their action is completely cartoonishly evil". Doesn't mean some things they do AREN'T, don't get me wrong.
