I am SO slow-clapping this one Robert (in case you didn't know -- that means this piece of writing is the SHIT!!). You laid the blame for ALL of this and other war-mongering around the world, exactly where it belongs -- at the feet of the US and NATO (which is undeniably, the same thing). And you're right, the "collateral damage deaths" of Ukranians means absolutely nothing to them.
Thanks for this, really...
