@IuliiaMendel Excellent point

That’s a good question, isn’t it?

It’s also striking how many people applaud Armenia and Azerbaijan for ending their conflict and shaking hands, yet when it comes to Ukraine the reaction is the complete opposite.

Why will the West pursue diplomacy with Iran and even Hamas but refuses to do so with Russia?

Iran is must deal with U.S. after being attacked but Ukraine cannot deal with Russia after being invaded? It must fight to the end even if it means there's no Ukraine left?

Nothing is more critical for Europe's future than an immediate end to the Ukraine war and creating new security/diplomatic architecture

Yet Europe's politicians are engaging in an insane policy of escalation. After sacrificing Ukraine, Europeans will be next

More and more people are leaving traditional media, both viewers and people working in it, due to the intractable groupthink that is bringing our world to the brink of disaster

We must hope independent media grows and awakens enough people to coming crises before its too late

Any talk of Ukraine 'winning' is at best naive, at worst deeply cynical

No one is winning from this absolute catastrophe. Not the Ukrainian people, not the Russians and not the people of the West

The only people winning in this are weapons manufacturers and corrupt politicians

[Tom Sullivan @TomSul1ivan]

Same media that says Russia is going to attack Nato also says they're drowning on the battlefield trying to take a few villages

They say Ukraine is 'winning' when its population has shrunk by millions and its cities are in flames every day

None of the media's messaging adds up
