The British seem to be, a very emotional people... maybe it's all part of wider Ango-Saxon culture. Jones typifies this emotionalism and the absence of cold, hard, unemotional, rational, analysis. We don't do analysis, we're British! Mostly our journalism and 'news' is abjectly awful, especially in relation to foreign policy and in wartime. After all the British invented wartime propaganda during WW1, and are supremely good at it. Think of the patriotic hogwash that was produced during the 'kitsch' war that was the Falklands, for examples. What characteriszes Owen Jones is his monumental conceit and arrogance, based on bottomless ignorance about Ukraine. His self-righteous sloganeering and posturing is quite insufferable. He never seems to contemplate, for a second, that he might be wrong about Ukraine. He never seems to wonder where his knowledge and information about Ukraine comes from. That it's basically the same sources and people that were responsible for Afghanistan, Libya, Syria and Iraq, never causes him to stop for a nano-second and reflect; am I being played again? The history of propaganda linked to the presentation of our wars for pubic consumption, seems never to cross his mind. His stuff is so crassly simplistic and emotionally charged. For him it's all a great entertainment, a historic drama, the eternal conflict between 'good' and 'evil.'
