re: Is Henry Kissinger's reason for Russian invasion of Ukraine wrong?

I’m thoroughly convinced that this board’s general position on the war in Ukraine and its causes would be completely different if Ukrainian corruption/Zelensky wouldn’t have been front and center for the first impeachment fiasco.

It's all just about the other/enemy and the filtered talking points from the competing intelligentsias.

There are people trying to form two groups within our population to increase political polarity and the perceived threat of the other. Think Communists and fascists in 1930s Europe with roughly the same labels (but not necessarily the same politics).

So now leftists are pro-War and conservatives are doves, b/c leftists are in power. There is a very large population of posters on this site who (1) supported the War in Iraq; (2) defended neocon theory under GWB (3) ate freedom fries and hated France; (4) criticized military intervention in Syria and Libya while Obama was in office; (5) hated America 2008-2016; (6) who learned to love America once Trump was elected and (7) now openly talk shite about America and totally don't defend/support Vlad Putin.
