Jacques Baud: The Road to War

by Jacques Baud, The Postil Magazine, 4/1/22

Note: The main thing I would take issue with the author on is his characterization of the Holodomor. I go into the factors that led to that tragic famine in my book. I found no support in my research for his characterization. But other than that, this is a very interesting article from someone with relevant background experience on the war in Ukraine since 2014. — Natylie

Comment: What is significant is that this article is appearing in one of China’s main newspapers and helps to see another angle of how China views the current conflict, even if the author is Russian. They too were facing fascism during WWII and wouldn’t want to see a recurrence of it.

by Josh Everson | March 11, 2022

It’s tragically comic, but the new wave of Americans’ interest in U.S. foreign policy, characterized by blue and yellow profile pics and bans of Russian vodka, cats, and Tchaikovsky, has this writer actually longing for Americans’ famously steadfast apathy of years gone by. Whereas, Americans once were unified in their utter disinterest bordering on discontent for the victims of its foreign policy, today Americans on both sides of the aisle are unified against “the Red Menace” and in the need for a humanitarian intervention to save Ukraine.
