this is very petty. The back and forth where you misinterpret and carry on with what I was possibly unclear on, that turns into really a differing of beliefs; all the poking is gross. I am really hoping this is personal to you in some way. I could be real petty back if I wanted, but I really don't enjoy being that way on the internet on a board where I post both personal and professional things. Btw we are using the internet, you seem just super dismissive of any new media, like fine, but I have read a ton and a lot of books are shit, especially political ones no matter their accreditation. So much thinktank nonsense, you have to and want to publish to succeed in academia. I like to watch, listen and read interviews with an author, check them out on the internet, its all good for me at least. You are out here insulting people.
I am mid way through reading your post as I start my response. I'm gonna be editing it a ton before I final post so I don't make a mistake you will need to call me out on, I already found one for you in my previous post. So far I am seeing you insult my intelligence multiple times, and act like I haven't stated over and over what Putin has done is disgusting. I support the Ukrainian troops and even sanctions despite that I think they are cruel to the Russian people. Proving my previous post about needing a disclaimer every time someone wants to give context to the situation that implies America did clearly bad things without being accused of being eternally devoted to Mother Russia or something.
I am now the second person on this thread to call you out on being hostile. Again If this is personal to you don't have to share, but I kinda did. Again I am antiwar in general, from a longline socialist/left leaning family. They made it to the US with a lot of effort and sacrifice and had to conceal that part in order for a family member to escape the USSR, thankfully to an overall prosperous life in the US. I do not need to reveal my educational background to a complete stranger, just like you aren't. I will say that I burned out of academia much to everyone's disappointment/joy for probably all the things that irritate you about me, mostly that I am lazy/a diva. I have my professional name similar everywhere (my mistake when I signed up, is what is it now) and will not be doxxed for an internet debate or rather doxx others, who live much more private lives. Unlike me who spreads my legs live over the internet and have political opinions that are not everyone's cup of tea. You aren't reveling anything that would put you in that position. I'm gonna go ahead and give you some links and own up to my mistake with one, but other then that I will not engage with your little snipes when all you prove that you have no idea about theory and are very defensive about this one issue. But it also seems by the jabs you have had an issue with me for awhile, sorry about that.
I always meant that they became the Taliban. You are right not all, but it is clearly accepted that those weapons made there way to those who did. https://www.vox.com/world/22634008/u...bush-bin-laden Lots of context and there is no simple linear answer, not even in a book!
No but I can recommend https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/...ight-and-right and will be rereading The Shock Doctorine by Naomi Klein which I haven't read in like 10 years but am looking forward to on my plane ride home.
Would we want the Ukraine of 2013/14 in NATO? Here's a twitter thread(sure you will love that) with the warnings of the situation we are in from people mostly more more mainstream then me. https://twitter.com/rnaudbertrand/st...902062592?s=27
Here is a very generous to America account for you with all the historical promises and even desire from the west to not expand NATO. This account blames it on Yeltsin which is I'm sure a whole other disagreement we could have. https://nsarchive.gwu.edu/briefing-b...-leaders-early I obviously put the wrong date earlier, my apologies. I had a whole section that I took out about Germany that I realized wouldn't serve anything.
I mosly agree with you on this, but it isn't worth the back and forth on the minor differences.
This is awesome, always admired you with your personal stories, but has nothing to do with Politics and being to the left of me. What you are describing is closer being a Liberal, and understanding community, that is great. I was a liberal for some of college, Obama disappointment did me in
