I have to smile a bit at your certainty of this while you condemn the same people who pushed the covid narrative for their mendacity. I know from experience there is little point in engaging you in any discussion. Your mind is firmly made up and no evidence to the contrary will sway you. But I can't help myself.

I do not say Putin Good. But I do say

Zelensky Bad. If you know any history, you know the terror he and his Azov battalion wrought on the ethnic Russians in the Donbass and Luhansk. Do you think the US is blameless in the invasions we've launched killing millions or the invasions we've supported - Syria, Yemen, Libya, Iraq, Vietnam, Panama, Honduras, etc.? No, all those wrongs don't make a right, but I think there is a biblical quote which I'll cite "First take the beam from your own eye and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your brother's eye." I am neither religious nor wont to quote the bible, but this seemed appropriate. Also the Czechs were very supportive of the "poor" Ukranians. Now that they've been invaded by the "poor" Ukranian refugees and they have to appease Russia to get some heat this winter, they don't show so much support. This proxy war is not about any altruistic fervor on the part of the US. It's about regime change. That isn't going to happen without nuclear annihilation. Yes, everyone caught in the middle of the war is to be pitied and the deaths mourned, but, as I said, it is not a simple black and white discussion, argument, action, what have you. Presenting it as such is disingenuous, not to mention dangerous. Enough people who actually control such things may become convinced they can get away with a "limited nuclear war."
