1) The creator of the 1619 Project admitted that it is a specifically historical piece and she frequently attacks the race of historians who tear it apart. It should be discarded as the ahistorical propaganda that it is. But it fits Bobby's justification for genocide so of course he's firmly in its corner.
2) It isn't hard to actually see the point that RT article is trying to make. They aren't wrong in that Hollywood has presented a skewed version of the war that boils down to only a few big moments, but Russia is also guilty of leaving out what the Western Allies did. It cuts both ways.
Also, Bobert's basic bitch Google search heavy history diatribes really piss me off. No, you phony intellectual, Japanese troops didn't rout the Russians in as easy a manner as you make it out. They were well-trained and fought hard, but they had a tendency to be ordered into costly head-on charges and this was especially the case against Russian fortifications at Port Arthur (I doubt Bob even understands the significance of said place). The casualties sustained were heavy and the gains made by Japan were not considered good enough by the public. In fact, there were heavy protests and riots in Tokyo over the terms of the Treaty of Portsmouth. The naval victory as Tsushima is probably what he's basing his assessment of the war on, but the effect it had on the Tasr would have been nullified if the Russians could have won the Great War as the Russian public was heavily in favor of it initially.
I would argue the effect was greater on Japan. The Japanese government never forgot how the public reacted in 1905, so its campaign in China later on kept going because it couldn't simply withdraw without appearing to gain significant concessions. Anything less would have caused a public outcry and popular support for radical elements in the army which had already assassinated prime ministers, launched coups, and conducted military campaigns without Tokyo's approval (see the Mukden Incident and the incursion into French Indochina). This meant needing to find more resources to continue fighting which leads them to eyeing the "Southern Resource Area" which in turn leads to Pearl Harbor. Moreover, and just throwing this out there, has Bob even heard of Khalkhin Gol and its underappreciated significance? Just wondering.
3) How is Danzig's assessment wrong? Oh, that's right, you can't argue against it so you just call him old? No shit he's old, Bob, the man's a rock legend and arguably a pioneer with a slew of memorable releases over the course of several decades. That doesn't mean he's incorrect. We're living in a world where a game show contestant is getting scrutinized for holding up three fingers and having to apologize. Of course the Ramones or the Misfits couldn't have come around in this day and age. You'd part of the mob trying to cancel Johnny Ramone and Glenn Danzig for their unabashed Conservative view points let alone their musical content. Lord knows your troon angels would shriek at "Last Caress," "Today Your Love, Tomorrow the World," "Die, Die My Darling," or "Bad Brain." The only reason you fuckers don't is because you all are too obsessed with what is happening right now to go Red Guard style and burn the past completely.
