What's the big news?
Let me just read a few headlines for you:
Now, despite being the talk of town, that's not the big news. As the MSM blathers on about alleged war crimes, building the case for even stiffer sanctions, and ratcheting up rhetoric to fever-pitch levels, there is another story lurking beneath the shiny, slimy surface of the media cesspool.
But, but, but... the pictures, the videos, there is so much evidence that Putin is evil!
To be clear: I am not being callous, I am being logical. I did not say there were no war crimes. I did not say that Russia hasn't done anything wrong. What I am saying, is that rational thinking requires we suspend emotional reaction and sift through the shift in search for other facts that are relevant to the situation. As always, there is much more to the story.
Consider another line up of headlines:
You may recall from Ep. 89 - The Greatest Economy Ever, that global forces are in a "mutating economic war" against Russia -- a war that "only NATO can win" -- via the consolidation of economic might and enhancement of "coercive" powers. Of course, all of this will inevitably lead to a great deal of pain for the peasantry, and the blame will be pegged on Putin.
