Sure, Ukraine Is The First War The United States Has Not Lied About: Notes From The Edge Of The Narrative Matrix by Ms Caitlin Johnstone!
Listen to a reading of this article:
If, hypothetically speaking, the United States wanted to rule the world, it likely would have begun planning years ago to subvert the rise of China. Step One would have involved a plan to cripple the powers who support it, like Russia. They would have begun propagandizing us for this years ago. Hypothetically speaking.
It is a good thing this is a hypothetical scenario and the United States has no plans of global domination, because otherwise by now we would probably have been marinating in a virulent anti-Russia propaganda campaign for five or six years and would be brainwashed into cheerleading for Russia to be choked off from the global economy with the goal of toppling Moscow.
This hypothetical scenario could never happen in real life, because such a propaganda campaign would require western intelligence agencies to plant stories demonizing Russia in the western press for years, and our free press would never uncritically publish claims by spy agencies. That would be flat-out propaganda. The free press are full of hard-nosed muckraking journalists who shine the bold light of truth on government agencies to hold the powerful to account. They would never act as willing proxies for government agencies working to manufacture consent for unipolarist geostrategic agendas.
And it is a good thing, too.
Can you imagine if the United States and its allies and the entire western press were working together, wittingly or unwittingly, toward toppling powerful nuclear-armed nations in the way the USSR was toppled?? Things would be getting very crazy and confrontational by now.
Thank God we live in a free society where government agencies are transparent and accountable, where military geostrategic objectives are rigorously checked by democratically elected officials, and journalists never face any consequences for telling the truth about these things.
Because we might be staring down the barrel of nuclear armageddon just to fulfill the unipolarist fantasies of a few powerful psychopaths if the situation I just laid out were anything but purely hypothetical.
F-cking ridiculous that it is 2022 and it is still a shocking and controversial position to say your government and media are lying to you about a f-cking war.
You know you are living under an empire with the most sophisticated propaganda machine that has ever existed when it can lie about literally every war it hss ever been involved in and then when you say they are lying about the latest war people still act like you are a paranoid lunatic.
Someone who acts like it is absurd to think the United States may have played an underhanded role in starting a war is someone you can just ignore.
President Putin is responsible for Putins decisions, the United States empire is responsible for the US empires decisions.
President Putin is responsible for choosing to launch an invasion of Ukraine, the United States empire is responsible for deliberately provoking that invasion with the goal of removing President Putin.
It is just amazing the mental gymnastics people will do to avoid confronting the basic, commonsense fact that the United States could very easily have prevented this war with a little diplomacy and instead chose not to because the war advances its own goals.
My take on Will Smith slapping Chris Rock is that we are the closest we have been to nuclear war since the Cuban Missile Crisis and it is only continuing to escalate.
Never forget that the real reason they hate John Mearsheimer is for being objectively, indisputably correct about how wrong they are.
Best advice to solve the Russia-Ukraine Conflict was given by John J. Mearsheimer in 2015 which nobody listened.

Shitlibs can forgive a lot of things.
They can forgive you for being a Bushite warmonger.
They can forgive you for having been a racist or homophobe.
They can even forgive you for being an active Nazi.
But the one thing they can never forgive is being right about their wrongness.
Still blows my mind that the last president spent his term pouring weapons into Ukraine, shredding treaties with Russia and escalating cold war tensions with Moscow which helped lead us to where we are at now, and yet liberals spent that whole time calling him a Putin Puppet.
This war has outed a lot of closet empire supporters who got excited about President Putins invasion because at long last now the United States power alliance is The Good Guy, and now they are spending their time screaming at those of us who have declined to play along with that infantile framing.
"Haha, now surely these disobedient lefties will fall in line and support our beneficent imperial leaders- Hey! What the hell do you all think you are doing??"
I keep getting people telling me I "just hate America," which is silly in so many ways it is hard to even know where to start.
If they are referring to the nations land and people, then no of course I do not hate them. If they are referring to its government or the oligarchic imperial power structure that runs it, then of course I do. It is the single most murderous and destructive power structure on earth. Everyone should hate it.
It says so much about how propagandized people are that they think "You hate America!" is some kind of scathing accusation. The United States empire has spent the 21st century killing people by the millions and shows no signs of stopping. It is normal and good to hate such things.
The warning signs that our competition-based systems are unsustainable will get less and less subtle until we either move to collaboration-based systems or receive our final warning in the form of climate collapse or nuclear armageddon.
