May I suggest that those who crafted the narrative /knew/ its falsity and its capacity to provoke World War III and ultimately, thermonuclear holocaust.
Those responsible must be prosecuted for these very grave crimes.
Thank you for expressing that opinion, which I share but decided not to assert in the article. I hope that many other readers here will likewise assert that opinion. Obama, Biden, and the EU leaders are all, in my opinion, necessary to be tried and hung, but the International Criminal Court fails even to verdict even so late about the genocide by Israel and U.S. against Gazans, and might not do so until the genocide is even nearer to completion; so, that is itself a criminal court, and not ONLY a court that tries crimes.
Your decision was wise. It is possible to speak more truth than contemporary ears are wont to hear. Often, we are fickle creatures who will seize one point on which to take a stand and dismiss the whole.
There are those who have addressed such issues for decades. I follow the World Socialist Web Site regularly and have seen these and related themes repeatedly.
Occasionally, the ideological mold thaws. Ideas begin to move, change shape, realign and more. Then they solidify again for some years, a decade or more before the process repeats.
It is imperative to understand that the period of intellectual fluidity tends to be very brief. We must proceed with care, sobriety, vision and singular determination to meet this crisis with a global, proletarian response.
As was recently noted — fascism persists until it is dismantled. As I see it, prosecution is essential to this process.
Jeffrey Sachs is an honest, intelligent, and brave American. I always listen to what he has to say.
