    I feel like this is a big problem not just with one strand of the left but broader American discourse about the war. The USA is a lesser player in this drama, not just compared to Ukraine & Russia but also to Germany, UK, France. "It's not about you" is hard lesson.https://twitter.com/DavidAstinWalsh/status/1517490092272766977 …

    And if your lodestone is American empire is the root cause of global violence, you're not going to have the analytical toolkit to understand a war where America is, at best, a peripheral player.

        It has also wrecked people's analyses of Latin America, again and again.

        Why this desire by liberals to avoid responsibility?

        The US is not the central player. This is all about Russian imperialist desires to reclaim former Soviet Republics as its own territory. Putin's driving this war. This is all on Putin. Everyone else looking for security arrangements is direct result of Putin aggression.

        How much did the incessant Russiagate nonsense drive a wedge between Putin and the West, crippling communication?

        "US imperialism is at play and is pernicious" is a perfectly reasonable heuristic for how to approach foreign policy problems, but it's striking to see it used as a complete analysis. In this case it seems to imply that France and Germany are US client states?
