- Abstract
+ Street: One US war master after another is going on MSNBC and CNN to express their horror at Putin's imperialist crimes in Ukraine by making analogies with war-driven European humanitarian disasters in the 1930s and WWII. In this intellectual dead-zone one fully acknowledges the role and context of US and NATO imperialism and still gets accused of being a US and NATO imperial apologist because one dares to oppose Putin's crimes. No mention of the US-backed Indonesian invasion of East Timor or of the ongoing US-backed war on Palestinians or the US-backed Saudi war on Yemen, all vast humanitarian disasters committed by people on the right side of the US Empire. Conversely one fully denounces Putin's criminal invasion and yet still gets accused of being a Putin apologist because one dares to mention the context of US and NATO imperialism.
