    I have been asked what type of sources I read tor follow that lead me to disagree with the official narrative on Ukraine which exists almost without exception in the mainstream press . I read the NYT front page everyday so I do see the bi-partisan take on Ukraine and Russia which I see echoed on D&D on CFans. I watch ABC Nightlty News with my wife a 30 plus year habit (at least the 5 minutes a couple of times devoted to UKRAINE or for 10 years the daily outrageous Trump or now Elon action.) I zip through the rest : the crime of the day, the weather disaster , an airplane story or the happy end story like paraplegic climbs Mount Everest or US soldiers pay to bring back their injured service dog from Iraq. Afganistan, little girl raises $100 for disabled children or whatever. Of course, I fast skip through the 10 minutes of big pharma ads..

    Hey, break out a bit on Ukraine!
    I would note Prof Meersheimer is a West Point Grad, veteran of Vietnam who voted for Bernie Sanders, agrees on few things with Trump or the GOP and just about the most famous International Relations expert in the US. He is known for being pretty accurate in his predictions.

    "He is known for being pretty accurate in his predictions" lol Meersheimer predicted Ukraine would get "wrecked" and capitulate in the first 6 months of the war. What in the world are you talking about.

    The only thing you lefties do is look at everything from a anti america bias regardless of the situation. It's always American imperialism and nobody else is ever at fault.

    You people are sincerely no different than MAGA. Embarrassing

    A person can't get any more anti American than claiming they fled the country and relentless brag about it on a basketball site.

    For Russia, sure. I just didn't realize that was what the United States wanted.

    What passes for analysis, among moderates, but so sure since all the mainstream agrees.

    RIP Europe. Perhaps it wasn't a genius move to sell your grifting company that used deceased ssn to make a profit. Now you turned your back on the US and you're stuck with an inevitable Russian invasion. Don't bother coming back.

    You quoted a individual who you claimed was always right yet he claimed Ukraine would be destroyed within 6 months and Russias military would expose the west and prove to the world it was as powerful as the USA military.

    You lefties are a utter embarrassment and the democratic party needs to purge every single anti america leftie.

    Far left = MAGA .

    smelly little **** eating Putinist tankie here to take a victory lap as US intelligence helps Russia target civilian infrastructure - for peace of course.

    Man **** all the way off with your faux peacenik bullshit - hopefully your SS is among the first to get cut by Trump & Musk.

    The person who made the claim says, "Herrell in the video said the Polish official’s claims may not be true. It is his opinion that this happening."

    No surprise the biggest dipshit @Space Ghost blindly believes any tweet he reads on Twitter without spending a minute to fact check.

    Social media has sincerely destroyed people's brain
