Is Ukraine the New Poland?

Once upon a time, stop me if you’ve heard this story before, Anglo diplomats surveyed the ruins of a fallen empire, and hatched a nefarious plan. They insisted on the creation of a militaristic right-wing pseudostate, with borders drawn up in a way that would be deliberately provocative to her neighbors. Then the Western powers all swore that this weird artificial state had inviolable sovereignty and signed unenforceable mutual defense pacts with her. Just creating this imaginary country was a weird and stupid idea, and that decision was made even more weird and stupid by the following mutual defense agreements. Even a small border dispute would immediately and inevitably erupt into a world war, and of course that’s exactly what happened.

Everything that doesn’t fit the narrative is “Russian false flag disinformation propaganda,” even when that explanation is stupid. How come “journalists” loudly insist on “fact-checking” and “debunking” every story from the Russian side? Where was this enthusiasm for “fact checking” when Biden murdered an entire family of 13 people in Kabul, and the Pentagon insisted that there were no civilian casualties? Not only did the media blindly repeat this statement as absolute fact, they continued to repeat the Pentagon narrative long after it was clear they were lying. “Pentagon investigates themselves and finds they did nothing wrong.” Yes, slay, Queen! The peanut gallery applauded.
