Cheeto and Antifa

There is a Nazi rolling propaganda campaign amongst Cheeto and the Nazi allies in the WH to label any political or legal opposition as antifa

So we should be very clear about this term that the current Nazi propaganda machine is rolling out Timothy Snyder in his informative Substack channel has a provocative short video(https://bit.ly/3VZGp5D) that outlines the historical underpinning of the term antifa In short in Weimar Germany between 1918 and 1933 when Hitler came into power there existed a group of Germans who were against Hitler rising to power and they were labeled anti-fascists

History doesn’t repeat but it certainly rhymes and we can learn from Weimar Germany’s experience as Snyder points out We are in the midst of a Hitlerian fascist takeover and those who participate in protests are all members of antifa So we should all celebrate being part of the movement to overthrow Cheeto’s takeover of the country and turn it into a fascist totalitarian regime

Kudos for this superb article. Russia is now indeed back in the position that Germany occupied in it in 1942; and that the French and then we occupied in Vietnam; and that Russia and then we occupied in Afghanistan. It was and is 'Russia's war', and Ukraine will win, but at such a tragically high cost for the people of both nations. And we are deeply complicit in that. We've all 'been here and done this' enough times to where we had to know what was our moral and practical responsibility when Putin was massing his troops for the invasion. To make of Stephen Pinker's 'Better Angels' thesis something more than a naive pipe dream for our species we should have informed Putin with absolute clarity and commitment that if he started this then we would give Ukraine exactly whatever they needed to finish it quickly. We didn't. We weaseled and prevaricated. And now here we all are.

Thank you for bringing on the ground reporting to your audience. What the Ukrainians are doing is truly remarkable and needs more attention from western media.

We sure need it to win! In this era when Trump and Putin are surging ahead with wanton arrogance and utter cruelty, the good guys need to pull out a win in one of our two countries.

I have nothing but admiration for the brave patriotic freedom fighters of the Ukraine. 'Above and beyond' is their daily effort.

Thank you, Ken, for your reporting.

Meanwhile, Trump and Hegseth will hollow out America's military and destroy its spirit.

Now tell me how our 'peacemaker' President can think that a man who uses his own military against his own citizenry would even remotely deserve a peace prize.

I took such hope from your reporting. Love--of yourself, of your friends and countrymen, of your closely held and lived values, is the strongest force in the world. Sooo good to see it at work. Thanks.

I’m so grateful for your reporting. My heart aches for all of Ukraine. The USA should be solidly behind them but we have Trump and his house of fools. I truly believe that Ukraine will be triumphant in the end. They were invaded by a murderous egomaniac.
