I didn't see the thread you posted in my very limited, very manual search. My mistake. I certainly didn't intentionally overlook it.
With the exception of calling Putin a statesman, I don't think what I said in that post was all that outrageous. Not when we have photos like this, for example. Or the reporting that Robert Parry did subsequent to my post in pieces like this one and this one about Vicky Nuland. Here's another article from a different source on that leaked phone call.
I haven't changed my mind about, overall, our being the aggressor against Russia. From sending our troops to overthrow the Russian government in its infancy, to the missiles of October, to the "not one inch east" lie, to Victoria Nuland's work for destabilization, the US has always been playing with the White pieces in this chess game.
