This is an incoherent position. And if you actually think about it, Alex's position has to be incoherent because the alternatives just don't work. No. If this is actually a situation where the West is aggressing on Russia's border, and Alex has stated a bunch of times that he believes that the Donbass isn't a part of Ukraine, then why wouldn't he support Russia and Putin's actions? He definitely supported them hypothetically last week before they became a reality. This position is no good, because Putin is actually doing the thing Alex wanted to happen, and it's fucking horrific. Alex makes money in the space where he yells about things that people aren't gonna do, like what... outlaw the Democratic Party. It's a real problem when the things he supports end up happening, and it doesn't happen that often, but when it does, it usually involves a lot of people dying. And he doesn't want to be... Made to feel bad about that. Yeah. But look at it from the other side, and you realize Alex can't take the opposite position either. He can't say that Putin is entirely in the wrong, and that he had no justification for invading, because that threatens the very long-standing positive coverage that Infowars has had regarding Putin. He's been built up as the one great hope of defeating the globalists. So if you take the position that he just invaded a sovereign country for no reason, you're going to have too many questions to answer. Plus, Alex knows his business, and he knows that a whole lot of his audience loves Putin invading. So going too hard against that is going to be bad for his bottom line. And thus, you get this middle-of-the-road bullshit where Alex gives lip service to pretending to be opposed to the invasion while simultaneously placing the blame entirely on Western powers and thereby completely absolving Putin of blame for the invasion.
