When I read this, it sounded too contrived. And it made me wonder... would the WH's really allow the killing of a generation of Ukrainian men if they were in control?
Is it possible that there is some level of conflict, but that this war is a Wag the Dog type of situation? Even down to the "trusted bloggers" who are on the ground and reporting the reality... is it real?
This is how much I do not trust that which I cannot experience--I couldn't tell you with confidence one way or the other if the war is real, and if so, how bad it is.
A contrived war actually makes more sense... it showcases the money-laundering as well as the flaws with NATO and all that. It has been a bigred pill.
Anyway... just thought I would put that out there.
I agree with you fren, and I think it’s good that we keep a healthy skepticism about everything we’re told. I admit the tweet seemed a bit contrived to me too … it might be the truth, it might be an exaggeration, it might be someone larping. We’ll eventually find out.
I have a Ukrainian co-worker, early 30s, very much military age. I speak with him once or twice a week on Zoom. He reports semi-frequent air raid sirens, and sometimes explosions off in the distance, but he says otherwise his life goes on as normal. Still walks his dog, still goes out with friends, still takes vacations.
I have a question.
