Aaron Maté filled in for vacationing Jimmy Dore and hosted Max Blumenthal and Kurt Metzger Thursday to talk about the Progressive Caucus caving on their weak letter favoring diplomacy with Russia:
Merely 24 hours after submitting a mildly-worded letter calling for increased efforts at diplomacy over Ukraine, House Progressives retracted the letter, apologizing for the poor “timing” and blaming staffers for issuing the letter without approval from their Congressional bosses. Which is both cowardly and transparently implausible. So it’s confirmed — there is no such thing as an anti-war wing of the Democratic Party, at least not among elected representatives.
Guest host Aaron Maté and his panel of The Grayzone’s Max Blumenthal and America’s Comedian Kurt Metzger discuss this epically craven backpedal from the already pathetically weak Congressional progressives, and how the door has now slammed shut on the possibility of ending this war any time in the near term.
American Progressives have truly shamed themselves and their supporters. Progressive except for war is not progressive. When you support the same neocon positions as all the hawks you are an imperialist. If you have any shame, stop calling yourselves progressives already.
In the meantime, way to go Clare Daly and Mick Wallace, real anti war progressives in the EU parliament.
Disgraceful. Every day peace is kicked aside means more dead people in Ukraine. GD cowards, nose in air for political scents, and not the heart to end the war.

You want it all & you want it now. Even the letter that was later retracted was progress.
And even that was too much for the scumbags.
The corporate dictatorship has arrived, the so-called progressives did not dare to back up a simple matter
like a little advise for senile Biden to negotiate. They explained and apologized for being wrong, just in a symbolic manner they whispered maybe Biden should negotiate. And than they even retracted that.
Every German was held responsible for Hitler’s actions. Not too long ago a 90 year old German woman was returned to Germany to serve a sentence from many years ago for having served as a teen in the office in a concentration camp. She is a war criminal, she typed, that was her war crime.

After a spate of counter-offensives by Ukraine to get back some of its territories, Moscow’s possible trap in Kherson has become the next thing to watch out for. But why is Kherson important anyway? Is Ukraine afraid to go full-throttle against Russian forces there? Is the tide turning in the Ukraine war? Let’s find out

These people are not real progressives, even if they were when they were first elected (don’t know one way or the other). They support the establishment of the Democratic Party, and their main job is to sheep herd progressives into the party in order to neuter them. Whether they’re cowards is irrelevant; they’re phonies, that’s the problem.
