| [LiberationNews] The Russian military operation in Ukraine highlights that the world has reached a dangerous fork in the road. It is critically important for people in the United States, who are receiving the bulk of their information from the capitalist media that functions as an echo chamber for the U.S. government, to know that the current crisis is the byproduct of a long effort by the United States to establish absolute domination throughout Europe. The U.S. policy is aimed at undermining Russia’s security by surrounding it with advanced missiles that can reach their Russian targets in less than 10 minutes. For the last three months, the Russian government simultaneously called for negotiations about their security concerns while at the same time amassing troops at the Russia-Ukraine border and at the border of Ukraine and Belarus. Putin announced that Russia would militarily intervene in Ukraine after the United States and NATO rejected their fundamental demands that Ukraine not be incorporated into NATO and that Ukraine, which shares a 1,200-mile border with Russia, not be used as a staging ground for advanced missiles that target Russia. In essence, Putin and Russia were demanding that Ukraine be a neutral country and never a member of NATO. It was precisely through the territory of Ukraine that Russia was subjected to the Nazi invasion of World War Two and earlier invasions by Western powers. In World War Two, when Ukraine and Russia were one country (the Soviet Union), more than 27 million people died resisting the Nazi invasion of their homelands. |

| #4 The plight of ethnic Russians, especially those in the Donbas region of Eastern Ukraine.... Has the Ukraine actively prevented these folks from moving into Russia? Why didn't Putin just offer them cash to move and save his military.... oh, because that's just a cover story for the rubes. |

| #2 The quality of Russian trolls has really declined since M Ferret. How many devalued Rubles for a cut and paste job? In case you were wonder WTH is PSL? Wikipedia: The PSL, which initially had around 40 members, was formed when the San Francisco branch and other members left the Workers World Party in June 2004, announcing that "the Workers World Party leadership is no longer capable of fulfilling [the] mission" of building socialism. Its co-founders included Richard Becker and Gloria La Riva. Ideology Communism Marxism–Leninism Revolutionary socialism Anti-imperialism |

| #1 to know that the current crisis is the byproduct of a long effort by the United States to establish absolute domination throughout Europe. Cause maybe twice in the previous century that same Europe dragged America into its unending tribal wars at the cost of hundreds of thousands of its citizens and resources that could have been more usefully employed at home. |
