What gets ever more insane in all this is when one contemplates the country that will be left for who? - fgs, to re-construct. There is going to be an awful dearth of menfolk.... -
The point of the article is to set the record straight on what Jeremy Corbyn actually said about Putin, about Russian money funding the Tories, about NATO's eastward expansion. Those of us who were listening knew all this already, as of course do Corbyn's smearers among the media and politicians of both major parties. And yet the smears went on, and still go on, even now that he's not only no longer Labour leader but actually suspended from the party.Originally posted by Serial_Apologist View PostComment

No, not that he has to be biased, but that he may be. I need more time to study the history of Middle East Eye as I don't know the source. 'Credibility' is worth studying: do we consider 'credible' people whose opinions we agree with? And vice versa, rubbish the ones we disagree with? Am I biased because I remember the disagreement in the PLP over the Skripal case? Who isn't biased?Originally posted by Serial_Apologist View PostIt isn't given us to know those rare moments when people are wide open and the lightest touch can wither or heal.

I remember seeing a documentary about Chernobyl, twenty or something years after the explosion. They were taking people on very time-limited tours, visitors in protective clothing wearing geiger counters. Nature had reclaimed the entire site - there were a few horrifying examples of mutations evident in species, but not as many has had been feared: nature was cleaning up, and I guess a country of the Ukraine's landmass could provide a valuable source for re-balancing the world's ecosystems if left unattended and untended. Perhaps the UN will be in a position to declare it a large nature reserve or Site of Special Scientific Interest: for which read Human Interest.Originally posted by eighthobstruction View PostComment

according to R4 news Putin has asked for 'volunteers' from other countries (Syria was mentioned) to come and help in Ukraine. WW3 gets more likely with each day.Originally posted by Serial_Apologist View PostComment

I'm cynical about any appendage of the US government being non-partisan and 100% factual. In fact during the Trump administration VoA became perhaps more politicised than ever, as this Seattle Times editorial alludes to. I've no reason to believe it has suddenly become whiter-than-white since the Biden administration ousted former Trump loyalists.Originally posted by eighthobstruction View PostComment
