Apart from the abusive comments that pepper your response, and detract from its effectiveness, your points are well made.
False analogy. Nazi Germany was in no way the same as modern Russia. Are you aware that it was the Soviet Union that defeated Germany? Or does that mean nothing to you? And Mark Ames is a serious and respected commentator, unlike Lord Haw Haw.
Because when you cant debate the subject you attack the messenger. Here's a remarkable instance of that from a couple of hours earlier today: what you’re wanking about .... when you want to spin propaganda to the weak-minded – which is probably why you ...
Fair comment, my friend.
... just repeating propaganda fabrications. So the U.S. support of violent Ukrainian and Polish nationalists (Nazis) after 1945 is a "propaganda fabrication"? The Minsk Agreements never happened, they were just "propaganda fabrications"? And the Ukraine ...
Seymour is a nasty piece of work. That has nothing to do with whether he is Jewish or Māori. Tricledrown needs to seriously calm down and dispense with the anti-Semitic rants.
They should both be in jail.
Having lived in Moscow certainly gives him more credibility than almost anyone you read, that's for sure. But that alone is not enough, of course, otherwise such outré cases as the hapless scammer Bill Browder would qualify as an expert. Yes, like the rest...
old-school-looney-left ? Such abusive and imprecise abuse says nothing about the target, but it says a lot about the abuser.
No. They're right behind the slaughter in Ukraine and in Gaza, and their prime minister does not have the integrity or the courage to lift a finger to stop the imprisonment and torture of their most famous citizen. Mr Albanese does "raise the plight of ...
But there is now only one English-speaking centre-left democracy left in the world ? Where is it? There are plenty of centre-left democracies in Spanish and Portuguese-speaking Latin America, in spite of the U.S. regime's incessant attempts to destroy them...
Mark Ames is not a "shill for Poots", he's an independent journalist who actually lived in Russia. And yes, like a lot of people, he had a dodgy personal life when he was much younger. So he's on a par with the likes of Clinton, the Bushes (père et fils), ...

This was reported in Haaretz over a month ago. It's still being rigorously suppressed in the U.S. corporate media, however. And in this country.
It is all about NATO, of course. The relentless provocation of Russia since 1945, with the U.S. covertly supporting subversive right wing Ukrainian nationalists, whose anti-Semitic violence had horrified even the Germans, the trashing of treaties by the ...
RNZ and most of the other corporate media in this country still refuse to acknowledge what Israeli forces did on October 7th. This from British-Israeli journalist Jonathan Cook.... ... What we now know – from multiple credible Israeli sources – is that ...
Jewish activists shutting down Grand Central Station to protest against Israel's genocidal onslaught in Gaza was only the start Rabbi's daughter Ilana Cruger-Zaken: "We're in the building. Anti-Zionist Jews are here to stay, and there's no way that ...
Just looking at its providence (the would-be Kim Hill bête noir Karl du Fresne) will be enough to alert a discriminating reader that this article will be highly dodgy at best. Five words in it, however, confirm just how dodgy it is: those five words occur ...
Jonathan Cook is a British freelance journalist formerly based in Nazareth, Israel. Like another outstanding independent, Glenn Greenwald, he used to work for the Grauniad, but he could not put up with that paper's complicity with the British state's ...
has called on Israel to scale back its attacks... What I make of that is what has been clear from the beginning of this slaughter: the U.S. supports it, but is squeamish about it. Sort of the same position it was in when it was Saddam Hussein's armourer ...
Assuming that what you say is all true, and that Trump does indeed believe in doing those things, then he's a shoo-in to win. Anyone who cares about peace and stability and human rights has to support what he's saying. Let's look at what you wrote, point ...
And with world opinion on their side. Though the elite political class of the United States, and its corporate media megaphones, and the elites in Europe, are solidly on the wrong side as usual.
We need a 200 mile race at the Olympics.
The victimhood in this case was the very real victimhood of the journalist Julian Assange, who had been hauled off by British state goons a couple of weeks before that obscene charade, organized with maximum cynicism, by the British High Commission. The ...
Tova O'Brien is neither serious nor a credible journalist. https://thestandard.org.nz/open-mike-19-05-2019/#comment-1618504

Sure it was a doomed effort.. It was a doomed effort only because the political class almost completely ignores the American people. https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2023/12/6/us-congress-support-for-gaza-ceasefire-lower-than-american-public https://www....
Seven years ago the former Clinton cabinet member Robert Reich summed up the rottenness of the Democratic Party. It has not gotten one bit better since then. What has happened in America should not be seen as a victory for hatefulness over decency. It is ...
That sounds like an authoritative assessment, joe. Almost as authoritative as the talented pollster Ezra Klein's assessments in 2016.
There's a really interesting analysis of the Iowa result here, following an analysis of the U.S. bombing of Yemen. The Iowa analysis, including an appreciation of Trump's comic ability, begins at the 18:30 mark... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=...
