I'll clarify myself - all communication of imperfect knowledge is biased. I'm afraid we're falling into a overly pedantic semantic quibble though.
The context we're talking about is how much we can understand about a war. I understand that Russia invaded Ukraine, and that nothing Ukraine's done even begins justifies a full on, bloody invasion.
- s1artibartfast 4y agoSorry if you saw my point is off track. I was commenting more on the nature of bias given the topic of the submission. I do think understanding biases important in determining how you act. Both in this crisis in future ones, and hopefully hopeful and avoiding future ones. When it comes to the Ukrainian crisis, I think a major bias in the common understanding is neglecting the choices the US made that let us do the current state. That's not to say that it is the US's fault, but I think it is reasonable to ask how we got here and could it have been avoided with different choices. Should it have been avoided if it could have been? So far, the war has been one of the best things to ever happen to US geopolitics since the Cold War ended
