NYT: In war’s first week, a punishing military campaign with no coherent endgame

I spend a lot of time criticizing the U.S. media’s failures to confront the fascist regime. But I think the NY Times and other outlets are showing serious skepticism about this appalling war. The coverage is far less sycophantic than in the Iraq war, for example. They need to keep exposing the lies.

Hey, quick question.

Why aren't CNRL, Suncor, Imperial, etc. using their own money for this?

Why the fuck are Albertans giving these chucklefucks more money for shit they're supposed to already be doing?
