Vaguely Anti-Fascist Take On Ukraine

If it's anti-fascist, it's "Blame America First!" & rightfully so.

Sad, esp. 'cause TRUE!
Imposing “democracy,” the American kind, was the American story from the start, of course, and has been the mission since Wilson codified it even before he entered the White House. When the Cold War ended we began a decade of triumphalist bullying — economic warfare waged as “the Washington Consensus” — which came to the same thing.

One thought this might end with the sobering humiliations of September 11. But then came Bush II and the “nation-building” set. Then one thought Obama would end it*. My new conclusion: Americans are too intimately dependent on this narrative to escape it. As nothing lasts forever, we must now wait to see the magnitude of the calamity that will force the U.S. to accept some workable form of global citizenship.
BothAny & all possible sides (virtually anything involving humans & their simulacra, really) are so obviously evil & deserve to be blotted from the planet in a paroxysm of atomic fire that I am far, far beyond caring who wins or loses (In the long run, cretins, in the long run ...) other than wanting to see it all resolved. CLOSURE!

(Humanity having removed all the oxygen from the room yrs. ago, I can't hold out until 2028 for meteors. Which are a faint hope anyway.)
SerenityApocalypse NOW!!

*Really? Can you fucking tie your own shoes? How many times must history prove optimism to be idiotic, idiots?
