What “Cuban Crisis”? If Benjamin or yourself mean to say the US has a crisis and its called Cuba, and leaving out another player, Turkey, in that crisis, its not coming out that way in the choice of wording.... Cuba had a revolution and revolutions are all about problem solving. The day Cuba stops solving problems is the day there is no revolution and society reverts into crisis. America, therefore, is a society is in a state of chronic and multiple crisis. Chaos in production, chaos in circulation is constant...the torture/repression never stops. The day the Left becomes revolutionary and pushes revolution into the heads of its people will be the day the mass exploitation by a class of exploiters of America’s people (polis, politics, et al people) nears to its end.

I am British. I have lived in Crimea for many years and continue to live in Crimea. We are an ethnic Russian region, rich in tourism and wine production, 'given' to Ukraine by Nikita Kruschev in 1954. In 1991/2 on the breakup of the Soviet Union we tried to break-away, but were threatened with tanks on our streets by Kiev. A few years ago when there was turmoil in Ukraine, we again tried for independence, and again Kiev threatened to send in the tanks. But this time Russia stepped in and guaranteed the security of our border. We then held a free referendum in which my family participated, and voted to join with Russia for our own protection, protection from Kiev. Zelensky then felt confident with Biden behind him, and continued to threaten us with tanks, resulting in this conflict. Please understand one thing; we don't want to be part of Ukraine. It's as simple as that. Thank you.

When you carve up Europe & promise "Not to expand NATO (by definition a defense alliance)" you are denying sovereign countries the right to decide their own destinies. It is neither Russia's right to ask nor America's right to give assurances of what another nation does. This is not "fighting the good fight" this is American right-wing imperialism in its worst image feigning responsibility. I will hear the Chuds claiming NATO did this or that, to which I respond NATO member nations NOT NATO. Russia for in excess of 150 years has undertaken no benevolent action either for its own people or for others. It has always been exploiting hostilities and frequently starting them. The demise of this authoritarian power to a position of insignificance can only benefit the world as a whole. The irrational fear of nuclear attack by Russia as some decider is also absurd, as is the belief that Russia's contingency nuclear stockpile is well enough maintained to deploy, especially after the evidence of the condition of conventional weapons that were deployed. All this, on the microscopic budget that Russia has for defense. Nuclear weapons cost multiples that of conventional weapons where maintenance is concerned. Crediting this piece as "reason and sanity" is in fact insane. People like these need to be kept as far away from power as is possible.

I'm sorry, but the analysis is GARBAGE. Ukraine/Russia history has been subjugation of the former by the latter. Promises to not expand NATO were never put to the treaty where Ukraine gave up nukes for peace. As for Ukrainians speaking Russian, I would never confuse an American or a Canadian as a Briton because they speak English. The fact that Ukrainians voted for a Russian speaking person who is Jewish, it speaks to the more complex reality of Ukrainian society than the gross oversimplification made by these two. Look at the actual fighting....Kharkiv territorial forces ejected Russian forced TWICE from their oblast despite having a high Russian speaking population. The Ukrainians have had THREE revolutions wanting to escape the orbit of siloviki led Russia. They are a people, not another group of Russians. They have chosen to fight for their sovereignty. And as for the Azov battalion and the Nazis in Ukraine in WW2, it's the same excuse used by Putin to launch a large scale invasion for Ukraine's total subjugation. And what about all the other statements by Putin, there is no such thing as Ukrainians, the desire to bring back the USSR, Russian battalions themselves sporting Nordic rune symbols on their uniforms. Add to that, SWEDEN and FINLAND have chosen to join NATO. Two very sane, very rational countries running very successful social democracies ending decades of neutral Stace because they know Putin is the danger here. I respect Chris a lot, but when it comes to Ukraine, he's out to lunch, so much in fact he's not even wrong. I don't think these two are Putin's agents either. I would never ascribe malice when I clearly see sheer blind stupidity.

@@salt27dogg No, Putin is not innocent by any means. He is a very committed nationalist. He has surely done many evil things along the way to take Russia from the basket case it was during 90s to the position it has some 30 years later. I think only Russians can decide whether the price paid internally was worth it. Even a hated leader will be transformed into a hero if he defends his nation from other nations that would plot their demise. That is where Putin is today. Since I have no literal dog in the fight,.my perspective is different . I want people to play peacemaker and prevent the slaughter of millions in the battle to control resources, and expand power. The price is too high. All that anyone can do is to try to reign in the war hawks. Before the worst outcomes take place. It's clear to me that the US has decided the only way to maintain its dominance in the world is to subjugate nations whose own power can oppose them. They have sought to do this by exerting control of the world's supply key resources, and/or deprive their competition of the same. It's remarkable to me how much they risk to do so. It betrays an urgency and perhaps desperation that should really frighten people. Somehow people must intervene if they can.

First of all, there never was a coup in Ukraine. Second, money was allocated for fair elections, to fight corruption and to develop the energy sector. Victoria Nuland later repeated this information in various interviews. She explained: “But we certainly didn’t spend any money supporting the Maidan. That was a spontaneous movement, which is a far cry from what we are concerned Russia is up to now in eastern Ukraine.”

The Kremlin is using anti-Americanism as a strategic tool for pursuing domestic and foreign policy goals. Through media controlled or owned by the state, the Russian government is deliberately spreading poisonous anti-US propaganda at home and abroad, blaming many of Russia's problems on the West, particularly the United States.

@@faultyecho4196 Yes, a lot of automated Russian propaganda echo chambers. That's part of the Russian firehose of falsehood model, it has 4 distinguishing factors: it (1) is high-volume and multichannel, (2) is rapid, continuous, and repetitive, (3) lacks a commitment to objective reality; and (4) lacks commitment to consistency. They use internet bots and fake accounts. It's not so difficult to do because there are websites where you can buy automated views, automated likes, automated subs and create a comment section filled with bot comments. Please report them by clicking on the horizontal 3 dots icon above, then you open the transcript there you chose any misleading statement and/or misinformation and report it, that's what I did.
