Russia-Ukraine: A Different Invasion, The West’s Same ‘Madman’ Script

Simple-minded media propaganda – like the claim Russia’s Putin is deranged – is precisely what brought us to the crisis over Ukraine

By Jonathan Cook: How convenient for western leaders that every time another country defies the West’s projection of power, the western media can agree on one thing: that the foreign government in question is led by a madman, a psychopath or a megalomaniac. 

At a drop of a hat, western leaders are absolved of guilt or even responsibility for the terrible events that unfold. The West remains virtuous, simply a victim of the world’s madmen. Nothing the West did was a provocation. Nothing they could have done would have averted the disaster. 

The US may be the most powerful state on the planet by far, but its hands are apparently always tied by a deranged, implacable foe like Russia’s Vladimir Putin. 

Putin, we are told, is not advancing any rational – from his perspective – geopolitical or strategic interest by invading his neighbour, Ukraine. And so no concession could or should have been made because none would have prevented him from acting as he has.

Ukraine: Questions For The US Anti-War Movement

Abby Martin & Brian Becker discuss the Ukraine war and what it means for the anti-war movement.

War Propaganda About Ukraine Becoming More Militaristic, Authoritarian And Reckless

Every useful or pleasing claim about the war, no matter how unverified or subsequently debunked, rapidly spreads, while dissenters are vilified as traitors or Kremlin agents.

By Glenn Greenwald: In the weeks leading up to the Russian invasion of Ukraine, those warning of the possible dangers of U.S. involvement were assured that such concerns were baseless. The prevailing line insisted that nobody in Washington is even considering let alone advocating that the U.S. become militarily involved in a conflict with Russia. That the concern was based not on the belief that the U.S. would actively seek such a war, but rather on the oft-unintended consequences of being swamped with war propaganda and the high levels of tribalism, jingoism and emotionalism that accompany it, was ignored. It did not matter how many wars one could point to in history that began unintentionally, with unchecked, dangerous tensions spiraling out of control. Anyone warning of this obviously dangerous possibility was met with the “straw man” cliché: you are arguing against a position that literally nobody in D.C. is defending.

The French Government Has Long Been Bought And Paid For By The Jews' Pro-Apartheid Lobby

Zio-Shill France disagrees with the South Africans and Amnesty International and rejects apartheid label for genocidal anti-Gentile Jews' Israel regime.

By Ali Abunimah: President Emmanuel Macron has rejected the finding by several major human rights organizations that Israel perpetrates the crime of apartheid against the Palestinian people.

“It is not acceptable in the name of a just struggle for liberty that organizations misuse historically charged, shameful terms to describe the State of Israel,” Prime Minister Jean Castex said at the gala dinner of CRIF, France’s main Jewish communal and Israel lobby group, on Thursday.

Castex was reading a speech that Macron had planned to deliver in person. However, the president sent his prime minister instead due to the crisis in Ukraine.
