Twenty-one days into the Russian attack on Ukraine, there do appear to be some very fine cracks starting to be seen in Putin’s Dike of Disinformation, if one looks closely enough. Is the Russian war plan grinding to a halt? Or is this a calm before the storm? That’s the question before us as Russian advances on Ukrainian territory have slowed dramatically over the past week.
I suspect everything is about to get far, far worse. We've allowed the "Fucker Carlson" types way too much leeway and given the despots and dictators way too much leniency. Sometimes I think we don't deserve to have a whole planet to kill each other over.
Indeed. The disinformation being pushed by "Faux" News is right out of Putin's playbook. I dread the night and waking up the next morning to what happened in Ukraine overnight. People try to psychologize Putin but I don't think that will work. Maybe the pandemic has gotten everyone on edge. I heard a really fine German political scientist tonight Herfried Munkler, who teaches at the University in Berlin analyze the situation, and he figures that Putin has permanently broken the framework of world cooperation. He figures there will be something else take its place - 5 spheres of influence - United States, Europe, Russia, China, India. He also says Russia will likely become a vassal of China because of this great blunder Putin has made.
