In case you missed the memo, you’re both black
There is a great and hysterical clutching of pearls going on around the pages of the New York Times and her ilk. Oh, didn’t you hear? Russia has ILLEGALLY annexed four regions in Ukraine!
Because we in The Land of the Free and The Home of the Brave have next to no access to unbiased reporting, it’s hard to say exactly what’s going on over there. Every story in the Old Gray Lady — hell, every sentence in every story — is spinning the same narrative: Evil crazy Putin is trying to take over the WORLD. Didn’t you hear? He’s so nuts he blew up his own gas pipeline!
Could be true. Might not be. No way to tell.
But the United States of America has got a lot of nerve to be shrieking the word “Illegal” at the actions of any other country in the world.
It was abundantly clear to anyone with eyes that were plugged into a functioning brain that there were no weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. We all knew that none of the pilots who flew into the Trades on September 11, 2001, were Iraqis. We The People marched and wrote and screamed that the planned invasion of the sovereign nation of Iraq was illegal, unnecessary, and would result in exactly the misery and chaos we find ourselves in today. The Will of The People was ignored (shocking, I know).
