Bret, what is the name of the episode of Taylor’s that you both reference when you discuss the Ukraine invasion? I’d like to listen to it.

I'm not a war apologist any more than I am a pacifist. All modern warfare devastates civilian populations. The decision to go to war is rarely justified. As a Canadian, I support our participation in WW2 and oppose our participation as combatants in every military conflict since then. During WW2 Canadian soldiers played a huge part in the liberation of Holland from the Nazis. This wasn't achieved without civilian casualties and the devastation of Dutch buildings/infrastructure on the part of the Canadian army - such a feat would have been impossible. Nevertheless, the Dutch send Canada a yearly gift of tulips in gratitude for the price Canadians paid in the liberation of their country. Being "hailed as liberators" has obviously been used for nefarious propaganda purposes since - mainly to "justify" unjustifiable US imperialist violence. Nevertheless, were I a regular citizen of the Ukraine I think I would view the Russian operation to denazify my country as liberation. I should be so lucky - nobody is coming to denazify Alberta. As for the Gray Zone, if you're unable to consume its content without it corrupting your mind or the minds of your youth, I think you're right - plug your ears. You do you.
