The worst is that they bombed cities and region with anti-Milosevic governments in place. And the bombs contained substantial amounts of Depleted Uranium (DU). Americans always get to define "human." That's what money can buy.

Those who did worse are the first to condemn. That is as ordinary and as banal as the horror of war itself.

@chazbennett8676 I meant the concerted one, with 70,000 troops allegedly ready to attack, OBVIOUSLY. Everyone knows about the 8 years of attrition.

Moral clarity that is rare. Thank you.

I'm curious whether in fact an attack on the Donbass region from right-wing Ukrainian forces was imminent. I don't believe the Russian response was anywhere near proportionate, much less justified. But the real point is, we should WANT to suspend judgment until we know. Why should anyone WANT to dehumanize any victims? Trick question, no one should. Ever. We've had DNA forensics for decades -- since the last century -- and we STILL have innocent people on death row. What does it take?

@lembergnative7731 What I said, with emphasis supplied: "I'm curious whether in fact an attack on the Donbass region from right-wing Ukrainian forces was imminent. I don't believe the Russian response was anywhere near proportionate, much less justified. But the real point is, we should WANT to suspend judgment until we know. Why should anyone WANT to dehumanize any victims?" Maybe you might answer the last question? Not publicly. To your moi intime.

Oh, I get it now. You are deluded. American bombs are magic bombs, they never hurt children. Depleted uranium has no effect on pregnant women, either.

@mariocroatia9321 WHAT did you think I said? Cities and regions with anti-Milosevic governments in place, put in place at grave risk to themselves -- in some cities, the people demonstrating daily for weeks all winter for free and fair elections -- were BOMBED ANYWAY. Montenegro, whose government opposed Milosevic and was receiving refugees, not creating them, was BOMBED ANYWAY. The New York Times reported this. We read it cover to cover in the 1990s. The editorial policy was pro-NATO but the reporting on the war was quite fair. It was a different time. You're the one who plays fast and loose with facts, as it turns out. Now, when a person calls for securing the hazardous biological agents Victoria Nuland warned us about under oath, there are calls for that person's arrest for treason. Only someone with something to hide screams "treason!"

@Dana-ie2bh How did you manage to join 6 months ago and get that screenname? Blocked, btw.

@lembergnative7731 No. What I mean is thanks for letting us know to block you. 😊

@lembergnative7731 I never used the word "invade" with reference to Ukrainian troops (or militias) allegedly poised to attack Donbass. Poor you.

@Dana-ie2bh You don't believe in freedom of association? 🤣🤣🤣🤣, you 🤡

Glenn, the hysteria is due to the fact that Russia can inflict serious economic harm on the West. FOLLOW THE MONEY. Always the first place to look.

@narkelnaru2710 RFE 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

@narkelnaru2710 What makes you think I'm taking sides? (What makes you think Glenn Greenwald is taking sides?) Pure projection. You cannot imagine a mind that doesn't work like yours does. (That's why I love mathematics so much, by the way. If you're puzzled by that, start with Plato, and don't stop.)

@narkelnaru2710 Not exactly an endorsement of YOUR media diet. Poor intellectual hygiene, to put it nicely.

@narkelnaru2710 Chinese in English, multiple French sources in the original, TeleSUR in Spanish and English, the experts invited by alternative media stations, with preference given to those invited by clear antiwar voices such as Chris Hedges, Aaron Mate, and Abby Martin. BTW, with the unconscionable banning of RT, we lost a treasure trove of Hedges interviews, including one very recently of Leonard Peltier's tremendous lawyer.

@narkelnaru2710 What is Shock and Awe over a densely populated city?

@narkelnaru2710 Hilbert my arse.
1
@narkelnaru2710 BTW, the hysteria, hypermoralizing, and general trash talking is because Russia is poised to do serious economic harm to the EU and US. Can they pull it off? The move seems premature to me, but who knows? Follow the money, every time. That is where the real answer will always lie. Economic interests are the only interests that will be defended.

@narkelnaru2710 PRECISION weapons? You are either a purveyer of propaganda or you believe that, which means there is literally something wrong with you. I pick the choice more likely to effect an income stream. Just a guess, no conclusion possible on limited data. Anyway, I have got better things to do. So do you, if you have a copy of Courant. Or hey, it's the weekend, TGIF. Have some fun with Smullyan.

@narkelnaru2710 Oh, I get it. The multilingualism freaked you right out. It shouldn't. Were you able to read the rest? Y'know, what China does might matter. 🤣🤣🤣

@VladK-1 Anyone who claims our DU warheads are precision bombs does not merit the time. These are not minor matters. This is sinister.

@YouTubeCensorsMe Who is "they?" One grandfather fled the Holocaust, and his mother perished. A lot of people who live in America have ancestors defined as 3/5 human, or part of the indigenous flora and fauna. Oh brave new world! To quote Shakespeare.

@RCaugh Which is a bad thing, after all.

@mariocroatia9321 Good to know some victims don't count. Those who say that they exist are called liars. The advocats for victims who don't count themselves don't count. Germany cannot, however, use your posts as heating fuel, so reality must intrude at some point.
