Ain't much simpler than that

Nobody is calling for their shutdown, they can exist all they want, doesn't mean everyone else has to contribute to their activity or federate with them

It's a blog post that uses a 1957 CIA invasion plan of Ukraine to frame the conflict in a very one-sided manner (ie. the CIA put Ukrainian nazis in power who then indirectly burned pro-Russian protestors to death in the Union House Building)

Even ignoring the very broad brush strokes the author paints with - I still don't understand why he seems incapable of recognizing that two things can be true at once?

Like it is both possible for the the US to take advantage of Ukrainian tensions for their benefit - while also acknowledging that Russia is an imperialist power in and of itself and can also do the same.

I just don't understand how you'd go through all the trouble of laying out how both sides are ripping up Ukraine and come out with the conclusion that it's all the fault of Ukraine and the US.

Oh right we're only allowed to make that connection if neolibs are in power..

It is Russian propaganda spread by tankies from the .ml instance.
