If it's a primarily-English speaking outlet, then I can answer this question immediately for the crackers: no. They're not. Ukraine was exactly how I knew there wouldn't be a single cracker that had an issue with what Israel is doing to Palestine. As soon as I knew no one would stop the Banderites, I knew no one was invested in stopping the Zionists either.

No hard questions were asked; all these crackers did was throw blurs over the insignias we called out before simply not taking photos if they couldn't get around the nazi patches.

Are we getting caught in an information trap when it comes to Ukraine?

A.K.A. a bubble.

This wouldn’t be unusual — it’s what happened in the run-up to the post-9/11 Iraq war, when American and British media were arguably far too unquestioning of Western officials’ claims that Saddam Hussein was awfully close to having a nuclear bomb or had a huge stockpile of weapons of mass destruction.

I wasn’t fooled twenty years ago, either.

Unfortunately, it seems we’re now in danger of repeating this very same mistake, as we all too quickly dub those who question current Western strategy as defeatists or accuse them of advancing Russian propaganda.

We’ve been called Russian bots relentlessly for the last 2.5 years.

Problem is, we’re not hearing these counter-arguments enough in mainstream Western publications, or at the high-level conferences that bring Western and Ukrainian officials together — like last weekend’s annual Yalta European Strategy (YES) Conference held in Kyiv.

And yet it’s the socialists who are told they’re living in a bubble.
