Skimmed this because I got side-tracked. Ultimately, I think I'll agree with you. But I also wonder what, if any, effect a global boycott of all things American would have had in the early 2000s following our invasion of Iraq on fraudulent WMD charges. Plenty of Americans had the pompoms waving, and if someone had scored a contract to live stream Special Ops Go Pro cameras, they'd have raked in a boat load of cash. Is there a chance that Bush, Cheney, and Rumsfeld would have lost the second term? Probably not. The people who would have been hurt would have been the people least able to handle the hurt. Thinking out loud here, late at night, which is always a bad idea on the internet. I'll say again, I'm pretty sure I'll end up where you are, but there's a part of me that thinks votes and taxpayer dollars for wars should have consequences.
An occasional bit of sanity - very refreshing against the constant Orwellian din of the corporate media
You need to have a lot of courage to swim against the tide of common media sewage… Congrats!
BTW: presence of Russian soldiers on Ukraine territory is not justified at all.

Russian army is highly trained and professional. Mainstream media should stop repeating Nazi-Ukraine and US War party lies and propaganda.
Bravo!
