My Comment on Dave Lindorff's Blame Germany article

Dave Lindorff is an antiwar writer who hosts the This Can't Be Happening website. He posted an article recently titled "Germany Deserves a Big Share of the Blame for the Disaster in Ukraine." My comment is not to discourage people who are against war, nor is it meant to denigrate Dave's staunch position against war. I have followed Dave for twenty years, so I know where his heart is. My comment hopes to clarify the problem, and hopefully points to a solution.

My Comment:

Blame time! But Germany is just a vassal state. It's just an American base to bomb, kill, and destroy. It talks mightily and pretends to be independent and brave. I'll be more inclined to believe after ALL American and foreign soldiers/weapons/missiles are kicked out. Why blame a dog when its master orders it to attack? They're also the first to die when the victims fight back.

You want to know why the world can't have peace? Try blaming these people. What population elects liars, miscreants, and warmongers to be their leaders? What population grants their leaders the freedom to lie, freedom to plunder, freedom to wage war, freedom to destroy countries, freedom to starve whole nations, and freedom to commit atrocities in the name of the people with impunity? What population gets into slavish debt in order to supply the money for endless wars? What population sends their children all over the world to commit atrocities for their lying warmongering masters? What population turns a blind eye to their own war crimes while wagging their sanctimonious fingers at their victims who dare to defend themselves? Look in the mirror, Dave. Don't blame your dogs. Don't blame your government. Don't blame your mainstream media. Don't blame your politicians. Don't blame your warmongers. At the end of the day, nothing could have happened without the people's consent.
