re: Foremost Ukraine experts: This War is the USA's fault

But in the end our hands are just as dirty as the nations we deem “bad guys”. Only difference in most cases is we keep our dirty work hidden better than most.

The US Government/CIA arguably ARE the global bad guys.

Look at what the US did in Iraq, Syria, Libya, Afghanistan, etc.

And it always gets packaged to the American populace as some sort of crusade of liberty.

I mean is any corporate media outlet going to acknowledge that we joined forces with NAZIS to wage the Maidan coup in 2014? Not Nazis in the way American leftists throw around the word to people they disagree with. Not like new wave neo-Nazis. But good old fashioned, old school NAZIS.

And here is who "Russia Expert" Clint Ehrlich actually is.

Just 5 years ago he called himself a "Hacker/Law Student"
LINK

The SAME YEAR somehow, this man who I can't even find where he got his bachelor degree became a researcher at MOSCOW STATE UNIVERSITY. This is a BIG job, everyone knows that this is the "Harvard of the former USSR" and any kind of fellowship or something is hard to get there. Yet he as a law student (his current Linked In bio does not list him as a lawyer, thus making me seem he either never graduated, gave up, or couldn't pass the bar).

He runs a pro-Putin fact checking website that has a name that is even deceitful. You guys will have heard of factcheck.org probably. so what does he do but start a website called factcheck.net Yes indeed.
People called him out in 2017 already about this.

When contacted by BuzzFeed News, Clint Ehrlich said he is behind the site trying to debunk "bogus claims about Mr. Trump and Russia's government."

After the publication of this story, the site posted a response "officially announcing" that Erlich is its editor-in-chief.

"I was the primary person involved in writing the content of the report, but the project was a collective effort that drew on the expertise of likeminded professionals, both for sourcing and analysis," Ehrlich said in an email to BuzzFeed News. "Some of those people work inside Russia's foreign-ministry and/or intelligence community, but the site was not created with the approval of anyone in Russia's government."


Upon its release, someone with the username FactCheckDotNet began submitting a link to the report in different Reddit subgroups to try and get attention for the work. One redditor was immediately skeptical of a site that mimicked US fact-checking site FactCheck.org, and said that it was making big claims with no evidence or authors to back it up.

The man behind the DrJackMegaman account provided BuzzFeed News with a screenshot of the author information he found in the PDF.

He says he is a 35-year-old based in New Jersey who has worked with computers for a long time. He became suspicious about the quality of the information and its source after seeing it pop up on Reddit, he said. So he began looking into the site and PDF.


Ehrlich now estimates that he paid roughly $1,000 for the domain name back in 2014.

“I’m not hiding the fact that I like Russia,” Ehrlich previously told BuzzFeed News. “I feel like my views about international relations are something I can say [in Russia], because I agree with a lot of what the foreign ministry has to say and I value the culture and the people."

Could be our "fault" but we are not the perpetrators. Russia still has agency, and they are using that agency to shoot missiles at apartment buildings.

No way dude Putin just wants us to be the best versions of ourselves

No offence but I think you are actually doing a disservice to the discussion had on the video by the assertion in your title.

Did you watch the entire video? This was discussion on how American foreign policy failures contributed to the situation. Not everyone agreed with your title post that this is the entirely the USA's fault including one of the host. I do think its important to recognize the POV of Putin and acknowledge our own policy failures but to suggest that Putin is without out fault just doesnt make any sense to me.

As was pointed out by one of the other guests, Putin in the last 20 years hasnt been able to make Russia as a more attractive ally and business partner than the USA, EU, NATO to ex Soviet bloc countries. Is that the fault of the USA too? I've seen Mearsheimer speak on other platforms and I really do appreciate his input but his opinion that might makes right in foreign policy imo sounds like he is contradicting himself. After all if that is the case then any stronger county that feels the least bit threatened by it neighbor has the right to invade it. Also that would also pretty much excuse the actions and policy decisions of the USA and NATO over the last 20 years because after all we are the baddest kids on the block. IDK his logic gets kinda fuzzy there.

Its was a good discussion though and even those that may disagree with your assertion that "This War is the USA's Fault" should give it a listen

This thread encompasses both sides of an extremely complicated predicament.
There are TWO sides to this crisis, and people shouldn't think that their opinion is the correct one.
Imo, the only way to get through this is for BOTH sides(NATO and Russia) to privately and secretly) to negotiate it, with the U.S. leading the way for NATO.
If the Ukrainian people won't accept the outcome, it should be them that deals with it.

You are the worst troll on the net......

Hands down.

hmm interesting non sequitur - I will be sure to remember your name
