Why Are All The Bad Guys, Putin, US, EU, NATO, China, Getting Everything They Want In Ukraine?

Weird.

The people getting killed in Ukraine are not enjoying this.  And the Russian people will suffer.  But all the bad guys, who are also rich and/or powerful guys, are winning this shit.

If only we could sense a pattern here...

chomsky on arab dictators and terrorism

as linked on counterpunch, here's noam chomsky in the guardian making far too much sense to be speaking to an american paper.  the guardian is a world treasure, as is prof. chomsky.

gnome chompsky

classic chomsky from the boston review a generation ago on humanitarian intervention, also known as freedom bombs or liberty slaughter.  chomsky's always a properly well-considered and acerbic take on this issue.  it's not new, and it's not going away.  one of the not-discussed facets to this latest round of glorious freedom bombing is that if the u.s. doesn't do it, it doesn't get done.  nobody else _can_ do this; only the u.s. can project force to any spot on the globe.  britain and france may have aircraft carriers and submarines, but they're strictly little league.  the arab league is t-ball.  when there's bombing to be done in a far away land, either the u.s. does the bulk of it, or it aint happening.
