And yet, in that very same interview, Gorby says: The decision for the U.S. and its allies to expand NATO into the east was decisively made in 1993. I called this a big mistake from the very beginning. It was definitely a violation of the

Does it matter? Like everything else this guy has put out in regard to this conflict -- it's just pure mindfuck, right from the first paragraph. That said - it's very adroitly written and well-organized mindfuck, and it's ver

It does feel like a lobotomy, and that's fine. Not sure what to make of a statement like this. But what seems missing in this analysis is that by this point (and it sounds like it's taken you years to get here) you've prob

"Questioning electronic voting" is, objectively, a very distorted description of what the electoral court is accusing him of (rightly or wrongly). And it sure sounds like the stuff Bolsonaristas like to say (along with the Venezu
