Articles and analysis most people would find odd and contrary to their understanding, however i strongly advise to give them a chance, before condemning them.

This got posted yesterday and I couldn't make it past the first paragraph. It's worse than a high school essay

I would suggest you first explore the subject of the US imperialist status, sattelite states, number of military bases in every part of the world, endless manipulations of other countries internal politics including election engineering, support of brutal regimes.

then I would suggest you approach the subject of national security in general. what if means for a state to defend its security concerns to perseived threats.

then search for US diplomats explicitly warning in public statements that NATO expansion will certainly lead to conflict.

next is to confront the idea that it is not about saving Ukrainian democracy, that would a joke, but about weakening Russia and if possible to dismantle it as a federation altogether in order to encircle China.

and then wait to see how this ends..

Sincerely, M.

A month ago when I left that comment I was talking about the way it's written, not the subject matter

War is the single worst thing humans do. The most insane. The most cruel. The most destructive. The most traumatic. The least sustainable.

That looks like the beginning of a high school essay with a minimum word count

Sincerely, G.

well, high school essays often capture reality in more profound and direct way.

I regard this beginning as a truly an immensely powerful reminder of the true status of war.

an analogy would be to say that the worst crime a human can make is to take the life of another human.
