CNN's Rich white Cooper schools educated Black man on war propaganda.

Sadly, CNN has taken down their video due to public outrage, so I had to find a 3rd party source.

Key takeaways, Cooper insists America is pure as the driven snow and NATO's sole concern is to protect Ukraine from Russia rather than using Ukraine as discarded territory for a proxy war perpetuating endless NATO expansion against all Asian countries.

Cooper then insists the hundreds of thousands USA killed in Iraq can't compare with anything Russia did.

Because Cooper was "there"

No fan of the Iraq invasion here— one of the nation’s greatest blunders IMO— and no fan of Cooper, but I believe the high Iraqi civilian death tolls are often aggregated together sloppily and without context. It is not as though US forces killed Iraqi civilians in question intentionally or indiscriminately, and it is not as though US forces directly killed the entirety of these Iraqi civilians. Many were what is euphemistically called “collateral damage,” as in unintended deaths, and many were caused by the ensuing civil war. What seemed underappreciated about Hussein’s regime is that his ruthless, iron fist methods kept two opposing factions (Shia and Sunni) in the country from each other’s throats. The US sparked a powder keg with Hussein’s removal and the subsequent highly misguided, clumsily  executed deBaathification.

Here's a question for you: If NATO did not exist, would Russia have rushed in to aid the Donbas and support their independence from Kyiv?

or would Russia just have said "not my problem"

This is a good 2009 article outlining the potential pitfalls of ignoring the agreement the west seemingly made to expedite the reunification of Germany after the fall of the Soviet Union.

And now we are here where that article predicted. It could very well be said Russia pursued a policy of appeasement all those decades, hoping NATO would stop its expansion, but now it's too late to negotiate in good faith.

This sounds like classic libertarian whining 

The fighters in Donbas that started the move for independence were placed there and armed by Putin. How can you not know that?

“Ukrainian crisis in its early stages,[4] is an ongoing international conflict between Russia, alongside Russian-backed separatists, and Ukraine, which began in February 2014.[f] Following Ukraine's Revolution of Dignity, Russia annexed Crimea from Ukraine and supported pro-Russian separatists fighting the Ukrainian military in the Donbas war. The first eight years of conflict also included naval incidents, cyberwarfare, and heightened political tensions. In February 2022, Russia launched a full-scale invasion of Ukraine”

“The separatists received considerable but covert support from Russia, and Ukrainian attempts to fully retake separatist-held areas failed. Although Russia denied involvement, Russian troops took part in the fighting.“

If Mexico sent troops to Arizona and Mexican Americans joined them to demand Arizona become a separate country with close ties to Mexico, would that be a legitimate separation from the United States?

All were caused by US invasion of Iraq and US troops. If US troops werent there, none of that would happen. But thanks for trying to justify mass murderers, also known as US troops.

There are two types of thinking:

1. Binary

2. Non binary

lol

Within the United States, and much of the world, it is the cultural norm to classify people as male or female – this is called the gender binary. Many individuals have a gender identity that does not fit within this binary, and use the umbrella term non-binary.

There are 2 types of people in this world,
