How dumb can you be and still be a legendary Harvard Law professor, who for years was the Dems dream SCOTUS nominee? I guess this isn’t news to anyone who has taken a passing glance at Tribe’s twitter account for the past few years, but the answer is: Very dumb. Today he got some major beatdowns:
This situation is far more complex than what the idiots in the MSM are leading the public to believe. The history of the Ukraine region in general is fascinating and if it isn't part of the current discussion, then people are being misled. For a more nuanced discussion of the situation, I'd recommend this YouTube channel called The Duran:
Let's never forget how strong the evidence is that both China and Russia have politically lethal amounts of compromising material on Biden and almost certainly on other regime players besides him, including of past administrations. I can see all the idiotic stuff the regime does even in the absence of such material, but it should always be kept in mind that it's out there as a factor, shouldn't it?
I believe that was pretty much John Roberts' bottom line, too. I know he went through the rigmarole about whether or not it was a tax, but I believe he also said that at some point Congress makes the laws.
I'm dumbfounded that so many "conservatives" think it's OK for the US to go around the world overthrowing elected governments and installing puppet regimes--which is what we did in Ukraine in 2014. And Putin is the bad guy for objecting to what's going on next door to Russia. As if we would have nothing to say about that in a comparable situation.
Can you cite specific passages where "its seems that Putin wants ALL of Ukraine." I didn't see those words.
Streiff refers to "Russian boilerplate snivelling", but that "snivelling" doesn't seem so different than our own snivelling about Russian missiles in Cuba--when we had installed our own missiles in Turkey before the Russian missiles showed up in Cuba.
The first quote I interpret him to be saying "we are no longer communists. It's more than just toppling monuments."
The second quote I understand to say that Ukraine is speaking out of both sides of its mouth by accepting Russia's debt assumption without fulfilling their own obligations and pretending that none exist.
There's another factor--Ukraine has steadfastly (at the urging of the US) failed to live up to the Minsk Accords that it signed onto, with regard to the breakaway areas.
I think he's saying these historically accurate things to educate the wider world to the complexity of the historical and cultural factors that are involved. Is there a problem with a national leader discussing history in this way?
I would want to see the original Russian. Based on the translation he appears to me to be suggesting that Russia has gone the whole route of decommunisation but that Ukraine has only gone halfway. It seems to be an implicit criticism of the corruption that is endemic in Ukraine--perhaps the most corrupt country on earth by most standards.
"Putin has always voiced a desire to gain back part or all of the lost states that compromised the USSR."
I he has always voiced the desire to reincorporate part or all of the former parts of the USSR it should be easy to offer a citation. Can you? Or has he simply expressed views analogous to our Monroe doctrine?

One of the guys that runs The Duran just posted a video which I think provides a pretty accurate description of the current state of affairs.

Thanks, JR--I'll try to check that out.
Forgot to add; thanks Mark for the work you put into your site. I'm here just about every day.
Джо Биден aka Иосеф Столен sent the VP and SoS to the "summit", maybe they won't come back, and good riddance!

Can't go wrong there!

Are you sure you're viewing this objectively?
