Nevermind Nate Silver polling...

 If you read widely enough, you understand where the American people, not their "leaders", are really at with supporting and financing never-ending wars.  We don't think it's just mowing the lawn out here, maybe because we're actually paying the bills for our lawncare -- and other countries too

The US has been doing a long series of regime change operations for decades that keep resulting in civil wars, societal and economic collapse, horrible devastation and death for the countries we are supposedly trying to help become free and prosperous.
We did another such op in Ukraine in 2014. It started a civil war and the Russian invasion last year was a further consequence. When Russia invaded Ukraine, western leaders thought they could turn that into a regime change in Russia via sanctions and a network swarm attack on Russia. Once again they were wrong.
We never seem to learn. Our best and brightest have no humility, it seems. Or maybe they are getting what they want and they're willing to have the people in these countries pay the price for it.
Are the Russians the good guys? No. But they are behaving in a predictable and widely predicted way. Nobody made a serious effort to prevent war in the run up to the invasion, quite the contrary. Where were our diplomats? Where were our anti-war liberals?

First time meeting in over a year (Blinken and Laparov).

Who wants peace again?

Too much money to be made...

Can we be honest?  Wars have always been good for helping sell newspapers, as well. It makes good copy.  You can put everyone on the War Against Trump 24/4 without losing readers...
