I'd be curious to get your take on this pro-wrestling style meeting Trump just had with Zelensky. How odd that it was carried out with such theatrics on tv, not behind closed doors. I'm an anti-Banderite, so I have no great fondness for the pentagon's Ukraine regime.

Well, it takes some atypical level of historical knowledge even to know who Stepan Bandera was. Even more remarkable that you would have the identity anti-Banderite.

Congratulations!

I will comment on Trump and Ukraine soon.

the biggest problem I've seen on social media: almost everyone supports either the husseini nazis OR the Banderites, but not both. I think this is deliberate, a way of dividing people so that few understand the truth, eg not dissimilar to how it was patriotic to support bosnian nazis in the 1990s (and to NOT support the Serbs). Antisemitism and Russophobia are deeply ingrained in US policy/agitprop. Christopher Simpson and others have of course written much on the long history of Ukrainian nazi lobbies (and related nazi lobbies and their influence on US policy).

Yes. Wow, you are really getting it. Very perceptive. The managers of reality are always making sure that you pick one of two flags, and both flags will contain one element that is completely wrong. No flag with all the right elements is offered. Because if such a flag is allowed narratively to exist, you might get actual change.

In other words, there is nothing that we can believe. Surely though, the Tooth Fairy is real?
