It really only falls apart once someone is capable of reading between the lines. For example: In his interview, he went on and on about his version of history between Ukraine and Russia, claiming justification for the war on that basis. However, what he fails to bring to light is the obvious: That none of that really matters in today's world, and that a generation have already lived as independent Ukranians. Often, he has said the war was necessary to protect the motherland, yet no threat was actually ever made to Russia by Ukraine or the West in order to necessitate such an action. Basically, a lot of what he says doesn't make ACTUAL sense. But he projects it as if it does. Unlike Biden, who doesn't make sense even IF his writers had a logical point.
Thats a very ignorant thing to say - but I'll chalk it up to naivety. Our “culture” has made it okay to ignore history here and the past, but it is incredibly important in other cultures. A continent like Europe absolutely shrouded in it cant (especially Eastern Europe) just let it go.
"The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents... some day the piecing together of dissociated knowledge will open up such terrifying vistas of reality, and of our frightful position therein, that we shall either go mad from the revelation or flee from the light into the peace and safety of a new Dark Age."
