Liberals already in agreement this is a false flag by Russia to checks notes justify invading ukraine.

Once again, indistinguishable from Alex Jones as far as political analysis but still somehow unbelievably smug.

Already seeing libs call this a false flag attack. So that stage has been set already if proof comes out that Ukraine was responsible

The US is not happy about the results of Ukraine and intends to severely punish the Russian people for choosing Putin again and for withstanding their sanctions.

Honestly, I can't help but look forward to when the tables turn, and the world inevitably gets in at least some punishment on the west in turn. It can't and won't be an eye for an eye - because frankly, alongside how wrong that would be, there is simply not enough of the west to do so- there would be nothing left of the west in such a scenario, and even then their debts would not be resolved- but it will be in, if nothing else, distrust and distancing as other options develop, and in all the social backlash that centuries of westerners plaguing the rest of humanity with genocides, slavery, and imperialism will have earned.

I say this all as someone living in the west myself- and frankly, if and when I get the hell out, I certainly would only ever, having experienced living in the west myself, caution and promote a distrust, disinvestment, and defensive if not outright hostile stance towards the west. As I see it, it's the sad truth that I would like nothing more than to be false, and the only good advice one could ever give, knowing how the western imperial cores are like- what racist, supremacist, liberal, etc. poisons lurk within our societies, and what the nature of our institutions are, etc.

500 years of atrocities, culminating in decades of global hegemony and unmatched arrogance have wrought their toll on the west, and anyone claiming otherwise, or that it can be easily washed away, is naive. And this is alongside the nature of capitalism, and imperialism in particular, which dominates the west; the only sensible approach to these societies as I see it is one which forever watches its back, which constantly expects the worst (because either way, the worst will come to pass), which knows that no matter the present circumstances, one is dealing with- particularly in the western institutions and elite, rabid dogs which in will inevitably, in due time, attack and devour everything in their sight without restraint. These are societies whose contradictions drive them to, even when they are at the top of the world, cannibalize and destroy their own peoples in turn; these are societies that have been unable to change their core, imperialist, racist, monstrous character even over the course of centuries (with Russia as the exception proving the rule, and showing just how extensive the efforts must be even in a country which had never stooped to quite the same lows as its west European/Anglo peers, and even then how precarious the results also will be, in cleansing the colonial, or colonizer's, mindset from their society).

My thoughts as well but I was hesitant to put anything down without evidence. Who else would it be? Who benefits?

Islamic State claimed responsibility for the attack late on Friday, in a post on Telegram in which the group claimed its gunmen had managed to escape afterwards.

People already are on Twitter. Disgusting behaviour.

Real "I like you, don't go to school tomorrow" energy in that

Yeah well, “extremists” of what variety? Western media calls RDK “patriots who love their country and hate Putin”.

I doubt any plan got delayed by 2 weeks if it was meant to happen immediately. There are a lot of angles here.

When did she say that?

but if they insist it's a false flag and that Russia just massacred their own people

Bingo https://t.me/DDGeopolitics/105320

Medvedev already made a statement that if it was Ukraine then Russia will start eliminating their senior leadership.

Isis is an American/ Israeli asset and no this isn't just theory:

isntrael treats AQ fighters

isis apologizes to isntrael

You mean the Russian news or western news? Wouldn't Russian news just say it is Ukraine? (And wouldn't it almost certainly be related to the Ukraine war?)

Agreed. It's well past time the west was reminded what MAD really means- that their leaders are putting their lives on the line, and that of all of humanity as well.

I think this is exactly the plan. Biden needs Europe to be at war to trigger a mass exodus of (mostly) white Europeans fleeing war and poverty to America to make the dream of the Fourth Reich possible. The purging of Chinese students, academics and immigrants cannot possibly be done without them being replaced by another group of immigrants at the same time.

I mean no offense to the people who think that Trump is someone who can turn America into a full-blown white supremacist state, but they’re dead wrong. Without the ruthlessness of Biden, Trump could never get it off the ground in a million years.

From what we've seen so far, Russia doesn't really respond to provocations. I expect they may do some high level assassinations in Ukraine to make a point, but otherwise I predict that they're just going to keep methodically grinding down Ukrainian army until it collapses. I do think that any chance of negotiations with the current regime are gone now though.

World war is never preferable. The human losses in these conflicts are minuscule compared to an all out world war with the current weaponry, a world war in this era will be the most bloody event hitherto.

World War is never the preferable option. Millions of people will die in a very very short time.

Maybe for Gaza, but most other places are doing alot better than Gaza. The biosphere of this planet is quite delicate and a nuclear war might destroy all parts of the biosphere that support human life. A worse outcome than a genocide of one people.

Well, I'd rather not die in an artillery bombardment if it's all the same to you.
