It is important tp point out, as Caitlin has, that those who say "capitalism isn't working and must be reformed" have it ass backwards, or ass in every direction but the right one. this is quintessential capitalism. And while it isn't necessary, and in fact, counterproductive to believe everything anyone says, it seems clear that Russia is way ahead on the truth quotient, as well as the closely associated ethics scale.

Putin made clear what he was proposing to do: cleanse out the nazi factor, a factor much bragged about by Ukrainian nazis themselves, who were slighted at not having their unrelenting brutality recognized as the essential element in the 2014 coup: and in the process have Ukraine emerge as a neutral state like Switzerland, and free of all US, British and EU finagling and manipulation.

This could have been done the easier way, but the West, in its own perceived interests insisted on the hard way. Zelensky insists the troops trapped in Mariupol fight unto death, and this will likely be the case, although amnesty was promised by Russia to all non-Nazis. That Zelensky's orders sound very Hitlerian will not be acknowledged by the West : its agenda is to smear Putin as a war criminal. I doubt this impresses anyone with any moderate historical knowledge of US political interference in and attack on non-submissive sovereign states, and the facts of Russia's initiative here.

Zelensky is an actor, the world is his stage. The Military Industrial Complex's "arsenal of democracy" has "liberated" millions around the world from living peacefully. As HRC once said: "We came, we saw, he died." How To Wage War: https://yuribezmenov.substack.com/p/how-to-wage-war?s=w
