  1. Those are usually coordinated campaigns. (Y Tu Mama Tambien had a swarm of religious fundamentalists denouncing it, if you can believe it. "N'importe quoi")

  2. The "subtext": the power of the dollar grows out of the barrel of a gun. Realists always knew that. The purpose of degrading Russia is to degrade any threat to dollar dominance -- which grows out of the barrel of a gun.

  3. Talk about cooking "in a nonjudgmental way?" No. Judgment is essential.

  4. Here's a thought. Research and read articles that predate the Russian invasion: say, from 2013 through 2021. That could be something you could do, to avoid current biases. Steven F. Cohen, at the 92nd St. Y with his wife a few years ago, is a good introductory video. His interlocutors tried to get him to say that Russia would not invade Ukraine ("after all"). He declined to do any such thing. Then there's Lev Golinkin, The Nation, Feb. 2019, who has been unequivocally opposed to Putin and of course to the invasion. Read up on who we were supporting in Ukraine since 2014. (Who we were supporting is what is not new.) I think you are naive concerning how a relatively very small group in Ukraine has nevertheless had an outsized influence on the government and military there. As for doubting, pondering, etc. . . . Your musings are important only as long as the dollar is, I'm afraid.
