Mendacity of the entire system itself.

I think it’s the right that has all the blind spots.

The answer: Ukraine pledge to be neutral, and not seek to be part of the US' military axis against Russia: NATO. BTW, why did the US invade Grenada and Panama?

You are correct. I can say, as a conservative, that my fellows do not see the danger posed to our democracy by the military industrial complex. To conservatives, military strength is important to secure the safety and order necessary for liberty to flourish.

Marianne - is this still true? These blind spots seem to depend more upon who "controls" the U.S. military establishment.

In Europe we love Americans because they have actively been with us for the last 70 years. America & democracy is adored because it was 18 year old brave US troops that saved us from fascism, liberated concentration camps, supported solidarnosc!

In this region of NATO countries, we’ve had incredible American diplomats who are informed & finance our liberation! We are not confused about who the good country is and who is pure evil. That’s why we love true democracy so much, America handed it to us!

Maybe. It depends. In this context "right" and "left" are virtually meaningless because they could have so many possible meanings. Generally though, I think this take is inaccurate at this specific moment.

Example, please?
