The Russia-Ukraine War at 6 Months: Could Ukraine Have Avoided War? (The fundamental problem with this post is that it ignores the stated objective of the US — to inflict a strategic defeat on Russia. This is  part of the overall political and strategic objective of ensuring permanent US hegemony by colonizing Russia and China, the only actual competitors of the US. This objective is not about Ukraine per se, but Ukraine as a US proxy in a conflict with Russia. Apparently the objective is so important to the US elite as to justify an open commitment to "do what it takes." If it isn't Ukraine, it will be something else.)

New study helps pinpoint the key differences between liberals and progressives in the United States (There is a similar dynamic on the right in the difference between traditional conservatives and MAGA. As on the left, it is a difference in kind rather than a difference in degree, that is, a difference in basic world views and values. This likely indicates a tectonic shift in American politics.)

  1. "New study helps pinpoint the key differences between liberals and progressives in the United States."

    Traditional liberals wanted equality, whereas today’s “progressives” want slavery or extermination for all white people (and especially for heterosexual white males).

    Traditional liberals were anti-war and anti-tyranny, whereas woke psychopaths (i.e. “progressives”) love war, the CIA, the FBI, and so on.

    Traditional liberals were thoughtful and mature, whereas woke psychopaths are murderous children.

    An example of a traditional liberal is Jimmy Dore on YouTube. Dore is despised by woke psychopaths (i.e. “progressives”).

    When woke psychopaths displaced traditional liberals, many traditional liberals became hard right conservatives.
