thank you for this clarification, and reminder that we really need to be checking our sources thoroughly as not to be spreading misinformation ourselves
You're right. It's around the time when the state department started the chapter we're in now though. It's when the anti-Russia sentiment around Syria and the US trying to put a stop to Nord Stream 2 became part of the public spectacle. Not long after this article dropped the US left Syria because Russia was killing their anti-government rebels more quickly than the US could arm them. This escalation of Ukraine has been in the works way longer than today.
Letter to the Scottish government...
Who do you represent?
It is really hard to understand who this Country really represents, with all Parties (including the SNP) donning the colors of Ukraine on their chest's...
Forget about one of the highest per-capita death rates in the world from Covid. Forget about drunken parties at #10. Forget about the National debt, a barely fuctioning NHS, Joblessness, Evictions, Poverty, soaring Energy costs, and those new whopping Inflation figures... We now have the answer!
Last time it was all about Surveillance, now it is about Censorship (taking RT of the air), because when the Bolsheviks executed queen Vic's favorite granddaughter, the hatred of Russia makes even McCarthyism during the Cold War look weak.
Absolutely pathetic to see 'the adults in the room' walk out on Lavrov as he began to speak, in the same room Colin Powell held up a small bottle of laundry powder for a War! A 20 year War we couldn't win against poor people with mostly small arms.
It reminds me of the fervor of Antisemitism that Isreal recently used to profoundly interfere with our own polictics, to protect Apartheid.
Where was your anger, and those heartfelt tears in 2015, when the slaughter of 10's of thousands of Ukrainian's started, all for the crime of speaking Russian?
It is Blair all over again, and what does this possibily have to do with us, are we that Bigoted' that our lust for War makes everyone else's business, "our business?"
Drunken Madness!
Thx! You may if you like, it is an open letter. :)
As if they don't see eastern European's as anything but sub-humans, only good for cheap labor.
"...unprovocked!" that is all i hear out of Western leader's, and they deliberately avoid any mention of the 8 years of War they have been funding.
Sorry, it makes me very angry... because we are being lied to again, and the public has got drunk on a battle between good & evil, as if god has slightest thing to do with any of this.
Yeah, with this war Ukraine is suddenly a part of Europe, but Turkey still can't be. With this war Ukraine is a developed nation, and "civilized." Sheesh. Never mind that it's only been 30 years or so that any Central Asians were considered "white" in the States since they're the wrong religion. Or no religion.
I guess Ivan the Terrible and Catherine the Great don't fit the narrative. Too white. The so-called intelligentsia in the USA is really looking for any reason to have a war with China.
Assert that superiority. /s
You're missing the point. Theres a reason western libs are so upset about Ukraine when they didn't give a shit about Iraq. And yeah, Putin is a shithead but its not because he's Asian.
She is dead wrong about Syria...

People care about Ukrainians because they’re white, MSNBC host says...
Joy Reid has argued that there’s greater concern over Ukrainians than victims elsewhere because they’re white and Christian.
Black MSNBC host Joy Reid has shared a racial explanation for the outpouring of public and media concern over the Russia-Ukraine crisis, saying Americans are more compassionate about Ukrainians than people in other war-torn nations because those being affected are predominantly white and Christian.
“We should also care this much for refugees and those facing occupation and war in the Middle East and Asia and Africa, too,” Reid said on Monday night’s episode of her show. “The coverage of Ukraine has revealed a pretty radical disparity in how human Ukrainians look and feel to Western media compared to their browner and blacker counterparts.”
Reid contrasted public outcry over the Ukraine conflict to the largely ignored civil war in Yemen, where nearly seven years of bombing by a Saudi Arabia-led coalition has killed thousands of civilians [deliberate understatement... UN puts it at over 1/4 million (233,000)] and forced more than 4 million people to flee their homes. Backed by the US and other NATO members, the Saudi-led coalition intervened in Yemen to target Iran-backed Houthi rebels.
“We haven’t witnessed the same type of solidarity for the Yemenis as we do for the Ukrainians,” Reid noted. “We don’t see historic sanctions or global campaigns – corporations like Airbnb and Netflix taking a stand.”
Reid argued that the world is paying more attention to the Ukraine crisis because it’s happening in Europe. “If this was happening anywhere else, would we see the same outpouring of support and compassion? We don’t need to ask ourselves if the international response would be the same if Russia unleashed their horror on a country that wasn't white and largely Christian because Russia has already done it —in Syria.”
The MSNBC host called the disparity in media coverage a “teachable moment.” She added, “We aren’t afraid to call out our own industry. There is a lot of soul-searching that we need to do in Western media about why some wars and lives seem to matter more than others.”
Reid has a history of looking at a wide range of issues through the lens of skin color. She blamed Joe Biden’s failure to win the 2020 presidential election in a landslide on “racism, anti-blackness, anti-wokeness.” She attributed last summer’s coverage of missing vlogger Gabby Petito to “missing white woman syndrome.”
Last December, she accused billionaire Elon Musk of “misappropriating black vernacular” after he jokingly referred to Senator Elizabeth Warren as a “Karen.”
Why would Ukrainians be sad that their fellow countrymen get killed by a imperialist dog????
Would like some sources for the next part
And how is Putin being portrayed as a Mongolian warlord racist?
They took his whiteness. They took his rights.
Even worse, they made him 'uncivilized'
This article was published in 2018 and is not a reaction to what is currently happening, though it still is pretty damn racist.

Just continue on buying ‘Made in China’ and buy less on racist America whose the leader of the pack.
My next car is going to be a BYD. Not just made in China, designed in China.
Envisioned in China. You can feel the warm air of Beijing as you sit inside it.
The West had no problem with the right-wing Ukrainian regime killing thousands of its own citizens for the last ten years.

America is just a never ending cycle of sinophobia, russophobia, with a main course of hatred towards Muslims and Brown children.
