What a clear and excellent summary! Thank you Aaron - I'll be sharing this as much as possible and hope it is broadly viewed and can help break through the self serving Governmental/MSM induced American ignorance about the roots of this terrible and tragic proxy war full of death, destruction, deceit and betrayal.

I agree a very good summation, however during this period where we supported neo-Nazis to overthrow Yanukovich, who was president? Nuland, or Obama? Who was president when we toppled Libya? Oh, Clinton, Rice and Summers. Oh, and did Obama funnel weapons to Syria and hand them to rebels we supported to take down Assad? Why does Obama remain undercover, so divorced from criticism, while others take the heat? It's not even clear to many Obama was no liberal in Chicago, or in the White House. The one thing they do acknowledge he loved to drone.

Yes, I fully agree. Why??? It's past time for all the Empire's masks to come off.

Human rights lawyer Robert Amsterdam, who represented Putin opponents in Russia in his previous work, now represents the persecuted Ukrainian Orthodox Church in Ukraine, but his work in exposing Zelensky's tyrannical suppression of religious freedom is hardly mentioned in debates.

Hey man. I'm from the UK and I almost want to apologise 😜. I have no idea who that person is, but he was embarrassing. Bev was good though.

It was fascinating to see understanding and evidence meet the asinine belief system of the opining class, who will jump on any chance to inflame their ego by chucking moral outrage at you which makes them think they are right because theyre fighting "Putin Lovers" so ergo, they're right, you're wrong. Utterly fascinating to see how propaganda manifests.

A good line I saw someone say once was “thanks for your ad hominem attacks, they really give me confidence you know what you’re talking about” - it really seems to stop people in their tracks early on.

I find the 2008 memo from wikileaks the perfect answer to a lot of what he chucked at you. It explains exactly what would happen, including Russia feeling they would have to defend their people. It also refers to the threat issue. Something like “we don’t think you will attack, but you have to accept it’s a threat” or something like that.

Sure you know about it, but if not, the niet means niet cable from Burns to Rice. Cable: https://wikileaks.org/plusd/cables/08MOSCOW265_a.html

Just watched the other one and see you literally mention the memo in the first two minutes :)
