    I don’t trust these coming articles. Feels like they’re not admitting defeat, but rather setting up the narrative for a direct intervention

      Yeah, I thought it was going to be a “evil Ukranians betrayed the noble west” narrative, but more and more they do seem to be setting up for a “Poor innocent Ukraine is doomed unless NATO actively attacks Russia.”

        Remember when Nick “The Bloodied” Romanov decided to throw millions into slaughter under the pretext of “protecting our slavic brethren”?

        It’s been several incredibly bloody wars and over a century since, but it seems once more the bourgeoisie is marching the world into a global slaughter for the same reason as before.

          Does seem like they’re determined to head towards that “destruction of capital” thing Marx talked about.

            Except this time weapons are so much more advanced than even the sheer landscape-reforming crap from the previous world wars.

      I feel more like they’re testing the waters, the good thing is that the average person in the West is losing more and more confidence over the inherent “superiority” of US American led power by the year. There was a moment in the beginning of the war that it might have been possible to mobilize NATO nations to send boots on the ground but a lot has changed in these 2 years.
