You're right. Ultimately, Hedges was saying you can't know unless you're there, and they are not doing real war journalism anymore, and no one is really observing, so no one knows. I have no stance on the Ukraine war because I know we don't know, and I know there are always the publicized reasons for wars and then the real reasons.First, this is an honest perspective. No trolling here.
I listened to the entire thing. I don't feel like I really know what's going on in Ukraine. They mostly did not talk about Ukraine. I heard a lot of criticism of "journalistic" careerism from Chris Hedges and "journalistic" activism from the other journalist. They both made very good points.
I got that Ukraine is corrupt and it sounds like weapons are being sold and probably enriching the Ukrainian elites. I got that there are some atrocities that are not being reported that were committed by Ukrainian soldiers. I got that there was seemingly nonsense reports about attacks at Donbas and at the nuclear site and I believe a POW camp where Russians are being held. I get that they believe that reporters are working on behalf of the Western governments.
It seems that those types of incidents, though dishonest and corrupt, are some of the things that happen in war. Everyone lies. Both sides of the conflict, the media and governments alike.
My only serious critique is that I still don't know that is actually happening in the war, even after 36 minutes of discussion.
Here Hedges says NATO/the Ukraine conflict is about enriching the arms industry and weakening Russia. Russia was provoked, he says. "Neocons in the Biden administration..." "Global hegemony..." Chomsky also speaks.
Putin is also a horrible person. It's a big fuckin mess, is what it is. And once again, the people pay the price.I'll give it a listen as well. I just know that Putin is also an imperialist and that seems to have been set aside as inconsequential in this war, which is weird. They took a slice of Georgia years ago now, the invaded Crimea. He said that the break up of the Soviet Union was a genuine tragedy.
You need a mental health checkup.The bottom line is the west aka international jewry wants Ukraine to be part of NATO and the EU so it can be swallowed up into the Eurozone and remain a kike puppet state where all the dodgy dealings like money laundering, child porn (Ukraine is regarded as one of the biggest producers and distributors of CP in the world) & human trafficking can continue.
What they don't want is Russia to reclaim its former territory, hence why the entire MSM and western establishment has been in overdrive promoting Ukraine and demonising Putin.
You're welcome.
Know him personally do you?Putin is also a horrible person.
You need a mental health checkup.
You wouldn't know the truth if it slapped you hard across the nut sack.Facts are facts, fatso. If the truth is "anti-semitic", too fucking bad.
If only you and Flynn the shim were still mods, huh?

Chris Hedges is one of the very few people I believe about this whole thing.

Sure, the problem you face is that just about everything you've been taught and lead to believe is a lie and it clearly eats you up inside, so rather than face upto reality, you instead prefer to cling onto your far left Cultural Marxist rhetoric and rail against those of us who call you out on your nonsense.You wouldn't know the truth if it slapped you hard across the nut sack.
The most hated member on the forum thinks that I'm the problem.... LMAO too funny.You're not the problem. You responded to the person that's the actual problem, imo.
I don't know why you bother trying to be civil with the Honduran hog, given how many times she's been exposed as a manipulative, disruptive and thoroughly unpleasant piece of shit.Fixed (:
