By most estimates it seems that more than 50,000 Ukrainian troops have died in this city alone over the past 8 months. One year ago in history on this date, Mariupol, the birthplace of Azov Nazism, was liberated as well. @shrike502@Shrike502@lemmygrad.ml it seems that Prigozhin’s random diatribes about “running out of ammo” turned out to be some wild psyop after all, I wonder what was happening
he was good on iraq but didn’t give a shit about the UK occupation of northern ireland
It’s a serious flaw in many progressive politicians. They’ll argue against doing new bad things, but they kind of take it for granted that bad things that already happened have happened and there’s not much they can do about it.
Do you have any links about Benn on NI? Or is it more of a conspicuous silence?
I’m going to have to retract what I wrote. He was part of a labour cabinet that sent troops to NI. He later changed his mind on that. But he did want UN troops in NI instead.
Ah, that does fit what little I know about him a bit better.
Doesn’t change the overall truth for other ‘progressive’ politicians, so I sympathise with the expectation that they’re all the same.
