    Can somebody steeped in theory tell me why Europe’s leaders are seemingly deep dicking their bourgeoisie for America so consistently? I really don’t get it, is it just American bourg interests outspending local ones?

      Ask yourself this: why did late Soviet era bureaucrats so willingly sell out their country to foreign capital? Some people are making a huge ton of money by destroying Europe.

    And what’s the strategy? Cut another 60b dollar cheque, as though that hasn’t been tried before. Remember the last two armies ukraine dashed on the rocks of Russian defensive lines?

    Fucking idiots.
