That’s why it’s so surprising that he really did get one right.

In a Tweet, West laid out the perspectives that are shared by those who oppose the UniParty Swamp from both the left and the right. The NeoCon inspired and Obama-Biden manufactured war in Ukraine needs to end and West pointed out who’s really at fault [emphasis added]:

Let us not be deceived: NATO is an expanding instrument of U.S. global power that provoked Russia into a criminal invasion and occupation of Ukraine.

We must stop the war and war crimes (including cluster bombs used by all parties) and embark on diplomatic talks that should lead to a just peace. As the great W. E. B.

Let us save our democracy and world by dismantling U.S. militarism at home (as in Cop Cities) and abroad – as Martin Luther King Jr. painfully reminded us!

10 minutes later, I was boarding in my gate, Dr. West at his, and they were across from each other. We caught each other both turning and staring at the other. I deeply regret I did not get out of line and see if we could not sit for 10 minutes.

This may be the only time Cornel West says something that makes sense. Remember this day fondly.
