    Neoliberal US hegemony is the boot on the neck of the global working class, including the working class of the EU. When it comes to geopolitics, the EU ruling class behaves like a vassal of the US.

    The US got away with bombing German infrastructure in 2022! This is absolutely humiliating to the EU. The only explanation is that they are satraps, and do not represent the interests local populace. See Starmer’s tweet above. The absolute hypocrisy in not prosecuting Tony Blair, but crying about Russian oil… is truly shameless.

    Western failure in the Ukraine proxy war could very well mean a change in the status quo in the West, which could possibly mean the end of the neoliberal/neconservative US hegemony, which could open up avenues of progressive change in Europe and elsewhere.

    I don’t want Putin to succeed, I want the West to fail: and the Western brinkmanship gotten so bad, that even a ceasefire with the current frontlines frozen would be a Western failure at this point. (Remember they were visioning the complete collapse of Russia by the end of 2022…)

    I want the killing to stop: no more poor Ukrainians sent to the meat grinder - and crazily enough this would be failure in the eyes of the Western power elite.
