You know that Time magazine had Hitler and Stalin (twice) as person of the year as well...
And they deserved it. Whether you've done good or evil is not considered when deciding who wins. Just who had the biggest effect on the news of the year.
You and Pixie have a point here. Time is a magazine I'm just saying that they have polarizing people on them. The Time pic reply with SBF was just a minor footnote in what I am trying to say here.
Its not because Putin wants control of the Ukraine our dear elite that run things behind the scenes want control of this world.
No, Russia invaded Ukraine because Putin wants to control Ukraine. You really think there's a secret club that called up Putin and Zelensky and said "we need you go to war with each other and make it look like Russia wants to control Ukraine and Ukraine doesn't want to be controlled by Russia so that we can control the world". That's ridiculous.
Sounds ridiculous to you but just wait until suddenly your store shelves are empty. The power goes on and off. Your city's water stops working and the world stops. It might get blamed on the war or something else altogether but the bottom line something is amiss just like in 2019-2021 for the pandemic theater. There are shortages and it seems like rather than a war in Eurasia its a war on humanity and the current mostly capitalist system since the "pandemic". There is a global consortium that wants humanity to heel to them nation-states are starting to become irrelevant look at the EU as a greater example. I don't want any of this I'm trying to warn you.
Maybe this guy should be included in your post since he laundered I mean "donated" so much to the Ukraine:
Ukraine used FTX to convert all their crypto donations to fiat. That's literally all there is to the story. I don't think SBF even donated money directly to Ukraine. But if he wanted to, he wouldn't have made it a secret (unlike the dark money donations he claims he made to Republicans).
Wrong SBF gave money to both parties but mainly the Democrats:
SBF was No. 2 donor to Democrats

Mr. Salame was the No. 11 overall donor to Republicans."
As for the Ukraine....
