From claiming that sending aid to Syria is wrong because it’ll mean Assad will become more powerful, to openly bragging about his brand new Nazi flag fresh from Ukraine, most recently, he’s also decided to threaten the American people over the matter of wrongthink. If you didn’t support Ukraine, you will be “held accountable.” For what, who can say, but it kinda sounds like he wants to shoot us in the head.

This guy’s a government employee and happily saying this shit. I’m a bit concerned.

    According to Wikipedia he has a BA in Governmental and Germanic studies…so with the above context he’s pretty likely a nazi fanatic. His connections to Ukraine should be further probed if it’s within your capabilities.

    Still though, this is simply more of the same rhetoric of the faux left in line with such great hits as “the wrong side of history” (of which they stand as they’re saying this) and “free and fair elections” (of which they have none and aim to destroy everywhere they go). It’s Orwellian doublespeak, a trademark of the US state propagandists.

    And in the unlikely event of that happening, I wouldn’t be so worried about what his “forces” do so much as what our class’ response would be. As much as they tried to deflect aggression (“protest peacefully! The families of victims want peace!”), 2020 cost the bourgeoisie a lot of sense of security in destroyed corporate and state infrastructure. I still hear a worker from Minneapolis singing “this ain’t a riot, it’s a revolution” in my head every time I think of those events with molotovs flying through cop car windows in the background. Our class has rigidly defended assaults on the second amendment as well even in the wake of mass agitations from a terrorist state. It would not be in their interests to attempt to recreate a nazi’s wetdream here.
