A day in the life of the “Ukraine good, Russia bad” two-dimensional world the Neanderthal West is living in: Azov Battalion just executed its own Ukrainian citizens in buses heading out along the humanitarian corridors Russia opened up.
2/Ah yes, the “good guys” whom Brits are leaving home to fight alongside with against the “evil Russians”:
“In 2016, the Azov set up its political wing, the National Corps Party, under the leadership of Andriy Biletsky, an ultra-Nationalist who was a Member of Parliament from
3/“2014 to 2019 and has said on record it is Ukraine’s mission to “lead the white races of the world in a final crusade… against Semite-led Untermenschen [inferior humans]”.”
What’s unclear is where Zelensky stands on Azov Battalion. He has to be aware of the killing. Does he
4/abhor or condone it? He must support them because they’re fighting the pro-Russian separatists, aka now-independent Luhansk & Donetsk People’s Republics. The question is: Will he address this or suppress this matter?

‘Yes, He Would’: Fiona Hill on Putin and Nukes politi.co/3400f9r via @politico
Fiona Hill: “There’s lots of danger ahead, she warned. Putin is increasingly operating emotionally and likely to use all the weapons at his disposal, including nuclear ones.”
Completely wrong.
2/“Putin is acting emotionally” is her whacked irrational theory likely fueled by her own emotion. It’s impossible for her to know that. The entire Western narrative is unmoored from reality, which is that Putin’s endgame is a neutral Ukraine, and the last thing he’ll do is
3/trigger Article 5 or launch a nuke. Her remarks in my view just shred all her credibility. Putin’s an ultra-rational chess player who thinks 8-9 moves ahead, and a black belt in Judo, and has proactively taken action to wrest the security guarantee he’s asked NATO to address

Germany agrees gas deal with Qatar to help end dependency on Russia theguardian.com/world/2022/mar…
“Germany has agreed a contract with Qatar for the supply of liquefied natural gas (LNG) that will help the European country wean itself off its dependency on Russian energy.”
Would be nice if the US could sell LNG to Germany & other countries. Energy security & trade however occupies a low rung on the Biden Admin priorities ladder. At the top: Green New Deal to mitigate the “imminent & existential threat” of climate change.
I mean C’mon, Man. We have to get our priorities straight. Why tap our own vast oil deposits when we can just depend on buying it from Maduro, OPEC & other countries? And if the price goes up, it’s not our fault, it’s “the price of freedom”. And this

Putin Recognizes Donbass Independence as Violence Soars consortiumnews.com/2022/02/21/put…
[Putin waited 8 years for "Kiev [to] implement the 2014-15 Minsk agreements that would have given autonomy to the provinces". But Kiev exhausted his patience.]
2/"Putin had resisted for eight years recognizing the independence of the self-declared republics of Lugansk and Donetsk in the Donbass, insisting instead that Kiev implement the 2014-15 Minsk agreements that would have given autonomy to the provinces, while they remained within

The decision by Putin effectively declares that the Minsk process is over.
It does not mean at this point, however, that the people of Lugansk and Donetsk are ready to hold a referendum to join Russia or that Moscow is interested in making them part of

There’s an alternative reality saturating the media. There are two sides to every coin. In the Russia-Ukraine conflict the Western narrative is one side, Russia’s narrative is the other. Western media however negate Russia’s perspective, dismissing it as
2/propaganda. The Western narrative is innocent Ukraine has been invaded by monster Russia hellbent on rebuilding the Russian Empire. Facts tell a different story.
US and NATO responses fail to address Russia's main concerns, says Foreign Minister Lavrov

3/"The written responses presented by the United States and NATO to Russia's security demands fail to address Moscow's concerns over the eastward expansion of the military alliance, Russia's Foreign Minister said Thursday as fears of a possible invasion of Ukraine remain high.

To understand why Putin invaded Ukraine you have to know NATO-Russia history. Lee Stranahan, Carmine Sabia and Ian Schilling analyze the reasons for Russia's actions which the news media ignore:

Lee Stranahan: [43:22] “Ian what’s your take on this war in general, military action in general, on the part of Russia? I think Putin tried everything negotiating-wise, waited it out for 8 years…”
