Timothy Snyder on the logics of genocide in Russia's war against Ukraine

[@mariamkunchuliya9169]

Timothy Snyder's voice means the world to Ukrainians, a scholar who truly gets the complex history of our region, thank you for speaking up.

Which Ukrainians, The ones who don't have to fight, who work for corporations, and live in the United States? We got one here in Iowa -worked for the GOOD corporation. Now he's in the UK. That guy loves this war more than anything. Already posting on facebook about the rebuilding contracts. He's gonna make fkn BANK off the lives of his countrymen.

He doesn't have much to say about Gaza these days..... wonder why since he's so concerned about genocide?

Timothy Snyder is a pro American neo imperialist that thought it was just fine when the US helped organize a coup in Kiev in 2014, and saw no problem with Victoria Nuland choosing its new government in her leaked phone call with the US ambassador to Ukraine. He is admittedly a prolific scholar and academic historian, however, he is also a neo liberal ideologue that supports America uni-polar hegemony, and the maintenance of the so call 'rules based order' which essentially equates to America making up the rules as they go along and everyone else being forced to follow them. The sooner people like this no longer occupy high positions in academia, and are significantly reduced in their power to propagate their message the better.

@@rayquaza1245 I've listened to this guy enough enough to know that that he just another part of the liberal elite in America, an academic in this case, that pretends to hold common sense liberal values on issues pertaining to foregn policy, but in reality like the entire liberal establishment in the US thoroughly supports there blood thirsty neo conservative war mongering policies. This guy appeared with Ray Mc Govern on Democracy Now where he made his views on the Ukraine coup very clear, and voiced his support to Victoria Nuland deciding who Ukraine's new government would be after the US orchestrated coup.

As a Canadian, I happen to like the fact that the Western world lives under an 'American led uni-polar hegemony' / 'rules based order'. Despite it's imperfection and historical blunders, It's been the best order the world has experienced to date. May God forbid that a Russian or Chinese based world order takes hold! We must defend our common values, in Ukraine, NOW! We must stand up to tyranny before it is too late! Anything that can be perceived as detracting from that message is counterproductive and equivalent to a vote for future enslavement by tyrants.
