Six policy wonks with very strong views, six opinionated journalists rallying from their respective platforms against the #US “arming #Ukraine and fuelling a neocon proxy #war”.

The host, #ThaddeusRussell, asks the most relevant question: “It’s absolutely essential that we clarify our position here, otherwise we are sitting ducks for what they say about us. Otherwise, it becomes true that we are #Putin stooges. […] This is essential, I need to know from you guys, as fan of yours: where do you actually stand on this?”

Genius 1: “I favour the cessation or mitigation of warfare rather than the perpetuation of it”.

Host: “OK. So does that mean a negotiated settlement, giving #Russia Donbas and Crimea, and nothing else?”

Genius 1: “I only really have a principle which is to cease the warfare rather than perpetuate it”.

Genius 2: “I think there should be negotiations. I’m not a diplomat, so I don’t see a point in me putting a solution on the table.”

Genius 3: “As much as I weep for the the predicament of the people in Ukraine, ultimately my greater concern is for all of humanity and for World War III”.

…And that’s why I can’t take seriously most of the naive anti-war rhetoric :P
