If Germany didn’t send a blank check to Austria Hungary and Austria did not declare war on Serbia, First World War could have been avoided. Bolshevik revolution would not have succeeded. No Lawrence of Arabia. No Balfour declaration. No Sykes Picot agreement.
Their reporting shows that Ukraine is not an independent democracy but a client state of America which has pushed Ukraine into ever-deepening conflict with Russia.
I hold exactly the same view about America and its relationship with Ukraine and Israel. They both aren't independent nations but they serve as the 2 far off territories under US rule. One is sitting their for Russia and one for the Middle East.
I think it means that to accept the mainstream narrative causes you to hold inconsistent beliefs that creates inner tension. Obvious example- Russia invading Crimea-bad. Israel invading Gaza- good. The word healthy in this context means a substantial amount, not beneficial.
I heard ukraine is really struggliing. A friend in china told me that they are recruiting pregnant women to fight.
Zelensky cares only about himself

Didnt he lead the first charge though? In the beginning, at least he didnt chicken out and bail. US had a jet waiting for him.
He should have bailed.
He is getting rich from aid from the west.
A blank check has made him brazen and reckless
Corruption. That is all l can say. Putin would do the same though.
Ukraine and Russia are corrupt countries. That is not news.
The question is why are we aiding the corrupt Zelensky
Im pretty sure the USA will get something from russia when ukraine wins.
When Ukraine wins?
What is your definition of victory?
I don’t think will take back the eastern territory Russia has gained
Aid to Ukraine is aid to military contractors in USA which then flows to USA politicians including Biden

Israel can survive without military aid from USA.
Israel is a liberal democracy unlike Ukraine.
Men are not fleeing Israel like in Ukraine.
Great article, but I didn't understand what healthy cognitive dissonance is.

Russia is corrupt = bad
Ukraine is corrupt = they should join NATO!
Almost an ironic or sarcastic meaning of healthy
Yes. It's a common usage in the US. Maybe because we're all overweight.
Healthy profits !
Healthy amount of cognitive dissonance
Author is being critical and sarcastic
Cognitive dissonance is bad
Healthy cognitive dissonance is very bad
