Welcome to Media Roots Radio.

Welcome to World War III World Crisis Radio with Webster Tarpley.

How you doing today, Abby?

Doing okay. Doing okay all things considered.

I'm sitting here in my ivory tower making all these shit takes about Ukraine.

Now, I mean, sadly, that's how I feel.

It's just like a lot of people with no skin in the game, just, you know, all of the takes, whether it's the foreign

policy wonks and all these bloodthirsty warhawks or just people sitting on social media, just

pontificating and defending, you know, military aggression, basically for unknown reasons. I think it just

like has to do with just the complete indoctrination

of just a permanent war state that we live in. And sadly that bleeds over where war is glorified

so much that you kind of end up apologizing for it. And I just don't think war is ever the answer.

And it should always be the absolute last resort because war is hell and people die needlessly.

Yeah, and I think this is different than it's one thing when we're constantly being told to condemn Assad and to, you know, focus on Assad's brutality in the war against his own people, when there were so

many other factors going into that, like U.S. sponsorship of rebels, the U.S. sponsorship of the

original uprising. This is different. When a leader crosses the border and actually starts,

like, attacking like a capital city it's hard to let's just

say it's really hard optically and really any scenario to be like well this is self-defense even

though there's a lot of contacts and things that led up to this situation it's's such a cartoonish move, shocking, brazen move on his part that it's kind of like,

well, how do you actually, how do you spin this?

Even if you're the most anti-US pro-Russian person ever is like not an aggressive maneuver,

you know, the U.S., it's very easy to paint the u.s as the aggressor
