Rick Ellensburg: The Biggest Victims of the Ukraine War Were Victimized by . . . Zelensky
Who would have thought that Thomas Ellers would find Zelensky more at fault than Vladimir Putin?
No, the biggest victims of the war in Ukraine are the tens of thousands of Ukrainian men forced against their will as conscripts to serve as cannon fodder so that empty and weak Western losers like you can feel a sense of purpose and strength as you cheer from a safe distance. https://t.co/sAi6bDWFtL

Oh, right: anybody who has followed this cretin’s career with even passing interest.
People like our friend Ellison love to say that sure, they have criticized Putin’s actions. But I wager you won’t be able to find a single passionate statement from Greenwald/Ellers/Ellison/Ellensburg that criticizes Putin without averring that some other nefarious actor like Biden or Zelensky is worse. He is from the Roger Waters school of political analysis: shrug at the real evil and give lip service to its being bad, while saving your real vitriol for the actual good guys fighting the monsters.
Today the mask slipped, just a bit, as we see Greenwald telling us who has been most victimized by the war. It’s so very shocking to learn that the real victims were not victimized by Putin.
Greenwald is a punk. The fascination of the New Right with this guy is telling.
Just think of the millions of American men conscripted into the armed forces just so that FDR could look strong after Pearl Harbor! Sure, Hitler and Tojo had their faults but we could have negotiated with them instead of sending all those boys to their deaths!

Rip Murdock (d2a2a8) — 5/1/2023 @ 2:19 pmPeople blamed Winston Churchill for Gallipoli (his mistake was in not realizing that other people were not as good as he was) but not for the World War I.
Maybe the battle over Bakhmut is a mistake.

Rip Murdock (d2a2a8) — 5/1/2023 @ 3:06 pmWow. That is quite a take from gg
steveg (052920) — 5/1/2023 @ 5:27 pmThe Ukrainians seem to have higher morale and willingness to fight than most conscripted victims. I could almost feel sorry for the Russian mobiks dying in the mud because Putin is a lunatic, but the Ukrainian “conscripts” seem fairly upbeat about making the poor bastards die for Mother Russia on Ukrainian soil.
@DougJBalloon (New York Times Pitchbot) does hilarious Twitter parodies of Greenwald being this way. Example.

lurker (cd7cd4) — 5/1/2023 @ 7:50 pmGG is and always has been a sanctimonious self-aggrandizing POS. It used to be the BlameAmericaFirst Left defending him. Now it’s the BlameAmericaFirst Left and the BlameAmericaFirst Right. Let’s all celebrate America-hating Americans bridging the vanishingly narrow divide between tips of the horseshoe.

asset (84038c) — 5/1/2023 @ 10:10 pmGreenwald has always been pro-Putin, by his general silence about Putin’s acts and by his blaming the victim and America. It’s bizarre.
Paul Montagu (8f0dc7) — 5/2/2023 @ 4:25 amToday the mask slipped, just a bit, as we see Greenwald telling us who has been most victimized by the war.
At least Greenwald correctly identified Ukrainians as being the most victimized, in contrast to the moronic tweet he was responding to.
JF (438d9d) — 5/2/2023 @ 6:20 amJF, the tweet he responded to was mocking the ppl who have been complaining about the criticism they’ve been getting for being Russian / Putin apologists.
Time123 (96c904) — 5/2/2023 @ 7:16 amGlenn Greenwald was also on Putin’s side, against America, in the Wikileaks and Snowden cases and, generally, for the rest of the time what the President of the LA City Council said.

When America defaults Biden should declare martial law and arrest mccarthy and the other republican saboteurs. Lincoln did it with the copperheads. Put mccarthy in a cell with abdullah and bubba.
asset (ac6b63) — 5/2/2023 @ 2:24 pmIt is interesting that Ukraine is having to conscript its citizens. Not sure what that means.

Not really unusual, especially since its a war to stave off invasion.
Most nations don’t have a standing army designed for that.

Yes. I think this would be a good idea. I can think of no better way to get Emperor Donald, first of his name.
