What did you think of Hedges defining Putin as a war criminal, and has him on the same level with Bush? "Haul Russian President Vladimir Putin off to The Hague, but only if Bush is in the cell next to him." He mentions FOX, and identifies them as having a republican supported base, but in regard to the NY Times that pushed that war as well, he doesn't indicate 90% of their readership are democrats. I in no way disagree with what he said about our Middle Eastern wars, other then he really didn't define with clarity why we were held bent on devastating the Middle East, and the philosophy that caused it to materialize. George Packer sounds like a total narcissist who tries to understand himself in glorified terms. His rationalization of war is sick.
Yes, they are. Bush illegally invaded Iraq and Putin did the same with Ukraine. Though their motivations and consequence of their actions were different. Though they are cut from the same bloody cloth, I consider Bush a greater murderer.

I will let Mr. Hedges speak for himself.
I will say that the war is entirely intentional on the part of the United States.
I agree, but you didn't answer the comment of hedges aligning Putin with Bush. No opinion of your own on that?
As I said, the war is entirely intentional on the part of the United States.
The idea was to put Russia in a situation in which it had no choice but to react. Ukrainians were the patsies.
Agree,
Instead of providing a one liner why don't you explain how Bush and Putin are cut from the same cloth.
Yes, they are. Bush illegally invaded Iraq and Putin did the same with Ukraine. Though their motivations and consequence of their actions were different. Though they are cut from the same bloody cloth, I consider Bush a greater murderer.
