5 ways the New York Times fails its readers in its most recent piece about #Russia’s #war

It also:

- Twists the narrative

- Stays mute on the factors that led to #Ukraine's #incursion into Russia two and a half years after #RussiaInvadedUkraine

- Doesn’t mention the #civilian toll of the ongoing #aggression

- Legitimizes a #terrorist organization

- Blames the #victim for #self-defense

The Kyiv Independent · 5 ways the New York Times fails its readers in its most recent piece about Russia’s warBy The Kyiv Independent

Putin confirmed what many people believed: Ukraine is only the first nation of many nations that Putin, like Hitler before him, intends to conquer.

Putin said: "Where the foot of a Russian soldier steps, that is ours":

In the days before the surprise U.S. attack on Iran, Politico reported that
one man in the Defense Department was having an outsized say on Washington’s Iran strategy:

Erik Kurilla, the hawkish U.S. Central Command leader known as “The Gorilla.”

“He’s a big dude, he’s jacked, he’s exactly this ‘lethality’ look they’re going for,” said an anonymous former official.

So long as military advisors “come across as tough and warfighters,”
the source added, Defense Secretary
Pete Hegseth “is easily persuaded to their point of view.”

Kurilla’s influence illustrates a broader truth about Washington’s current priorities:
💥In Trump’s second term, hypermasculinity has become the governing logic of U.S. foreign policy.

Masculinity in itself
—associated with traits such as leadership, strength, and courage
—is not harmful.

But a brand of traditional masculinity defined by
🔥aggression,
🔥lack of emotional regulation,
🔥and poor impulse control is,
and it has become a driving force in an administration that favors preemptive attacks in pursuit of national self-interestover U.S. values.

Pentagon says US doesn't seek war with Iran after bombing 3 of its nuclear sites

dailykos.com/stories/2025/6/22

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said Sunday that America “does not seek war” with Iran in the aftermath of a surprise attack overnight on three of that country’s nuclear sites while Vice President JD Vance said the strikes have given Tehran a renewed chance of negotiating with Washington.

"When small children are fighting bitterly, it sometimes is better to let them fight for a while and only try to separate them after."

This utterly sick metaphor on #Russia's deadly and criminal war of #aggression against #Ukraine came out of the sewer faucet known as #Trump's filthy gob. And boy is it falling on his own tiny feet now. "Small children fighting bitterly", as in Donnie's feud with Space Karen?

#Scamerica, you got what you voted for.

"Russia’s Military Show of Strength Masks Economic and Diplomatic Cracks":
nytimes.com/2025/05/08/world/e
Russia's "military is barely advancing on the battlefield, its economy is sputtering, prices for oil, its main export, are falling and, perhaps most surprising, Pres. Trump is hinting that his view of Pres. Vladimir Putin and his war is souring."

Larry Johnson destroys Hegseth and details the failures of the US Navy in Yemen. How they lost the F-18 Hornet is hilarious "Since Trump’s 15 March order to renew attacks on Yemen, the US has lost almost $500 million in planes and drones...Good job, Mr. Hegseth"
"the bombing of civilian targets inside Yemen, which has produced scores of dead women and children, is only fueling greater hatred of the United States"

"The Yemeni government issued a statement on 30 April warning the UK against its continued participation in the US campaign of deadly airstrikes against Yemen"
Statement from the Yemeni government: “In a display of typical British arrogance, the UK Ministry of Defense announced participation in a joint military operation with the US enemy against our country, targeting areas south of Sanaa"
They'll target UK ships. Quite right too.

If you read the chat, it's like kids talking shit over a video game. Unbelievable that they're in power.
