Aaron says; 'By choosing to invade, Russia is legally and morally responsible for the carnage that it has caused'. I agree with the commentator Doc Hollywood. There was nowhere to go for the Kremlin. Would they have been responsible for allowing the massive planned offensive on the Don basin to go ahead unchallenged (60,000 troops were amassing there for that very reason) and the almost certain ethnic cleansing of the Nazi battalions that would result?

I have submitted your article as a Quicklink on OpEd News. Same title. Hopefully it will generate some discussion. The readers there are quite divided on the Ukraine issue. Those with views opposite to your's always respond with "Putin BAD!" and (IMHO) never back it up with anything other than "he shouldn't have invaded Ukraine".

I keep asking what Michael Corleone should have done about Sollozo. Crickets.

Then I ask who doesn't root for Clint Eastwood in all of his western movies. Crickets.

It takes a couple of hours to know if they'll accept your article.

WOW, they just accepted it! As I was typing this.

Now getting it posted, will also take some time.

I do hope you'll try to defend your position there. I admit it isn't even close to getting published in the NYT, but somehow, some way, we gotta combat the Oligarchy. Start naming names. Pierre Omidyar and the Intercept. Jeff Bezos and the WaPo. We have to be relentless in exposing them for the crooks they are.

There are 700+ Billionaires in the US. Nothing happens without their consent.

Gonzalo Lira had a great analogy. There are 700 strings attached to the American Puppet. No wonder the dance is so incoherent.
