Great stuff, including audio from an expert, for if you're like me and wondering "okay, what are they not telling me."
It's a narrative world, and you actively have to look for the big picture. And not just nuances, but the most fundamental part of the big picture.
This is not to say Russia is right, or Ukraine is wrong. Just information that makes it not the slam dunk "Russia bad, Ukraine good" nonsense polar take of nearly all lamestream.
Further, it is especially important because we are sowing seeds of war instead of diplomacy, through violations of basic Diplomacy 101 and Sanctions 101 principles. Because why have context, or consider potential consequences, we our alleged learned institutions can instead just be the mutual Mayors of Hot Take City, like the stakes are no greater than Stephen A Smith's takes on the Knicks.
