WTF? This guy is too arrogant, far too ironic to be informative or persuasive. He hates his audience so much that he's incomprehensible or his regular readers are so few and familiar that they are in on his irony.

What's the point? Ukraine is a tool of US imperialism and not a moral force for good, given their history; the pretexts for war on all sides disguise motives other than those publicly announced; everyone else offering opinions on what they think might be going on are in effect five-year-olds judging global politics like they might a schoolyard dust-up.

This really doesn't help my understanding of what might actually be happening over there and reinforces my instinct to avoid reading any commentary or reporting on the war until it's over.
