..US-NATO's Perpetual War+Expansion Machine..only then will I begin to have anything but total contempt for these execrecable conforming cowards masquerading as journalists.

Imposing sanctions against Russia is more obscenity than mere absurdity - imposed despite Putin's repeated thwarted peace-moves in March 2022 and December 2021, despite the Minsk Accords sham/betrayal..despite the instantly broken "No NATO expansion to the East" promises made to Gorbachev in 1992, despite Putin's fully justified red-line/existential threat warnings about NATO expansion into Ukraine and Georgia - ha! It's obviously the US and their sycophantic, selectively amnesiac political and media vassals who should be sanctioned, punished and vilified every which way.
