The Ukrainian nationalists have the fervor of the superiority of their race and their cause, but even there, the façade is beginning to crack. Ukraine is divided over whether or not to continue to wait for their miracle of the House of Brandenburg moment or accept defeat and sue for peace.
For the European elites and the US permanent security state, the calculus is that Ukraine needs to keep weakening Russia so that eventually the Russian state will become too weak to compete with the West. The US' goal was to remove Russia from the board in order to focus on China.
As #socialists, what should we think about conspiracy theories? Should the myriad secret diabolical acts perpetrated by the elites lead us to be more open minded toward the ravings of the open-minded so-called "lunatic fringe," Or does it even matter whether the theories are true?

The Iranian regime is brutal and terrible, but they have absolutely no reason to talk to these clowns. These two obvious criminals, in the pockets of the Saudis and the Emirates, one conflict of interest after the other, barely qualified to negotiate a golf course, let alone a war

Oh look its Tony Blair, the idiot sidekick of George W Bush, who was there for every war crime in Afghanistan and Iraq. Makes sense he's also cool with war crimes in Iran. Sure wish US and UK terrorists like Blair and Bush had gone to prison forever for their crimes.
