We are now deep into the weeds with respect to Ukraine. So deep, in fact, that the underlying architecture of the situation doesn’t have a snowball’s chance in the hot place of getting even a fleeting mention in the 24/7 war news cycle. So let’s call...
We Are Not Useful Idiots!
Honest injun. We’re not useful idiots here at Contra Corner! We do think, however, that the entire Ukrainian crisis is a Washington-confected con job. And we came to that conclusion without relying on a single scrap of information peddled by Russki propagandists...
Ukraine Pushes Back Against American Hawks
It looks like we have plunged so deeply into the theater of the absurd that we now have a case of “Albania don’t want the ball!”. Our reference, of course, is to the apocryphal football story about a coach repeatedly signaling a play from the...

Hurrah! Washington’s Pointless Sojourn in the Graveyard of Empires Is Finally Over
