I expect Russian libs - who have been chanting about “sending Putin to Hague” for years - will become extra insufferable
What are normal Russians saying about that?
IDK, I’ve not had the chance to talk to people IRL about it
I saw some jokes about the international court condemning Putin for showing some children a good time because the main charge is unlawful displacement of some children. Those wound up in the Artek camp.
Now, let that sink in. Unlawful displacement of children. Not Bucha. Not Kramatorsk. Not any other made up fucking war crime allegedly perpetrated by Russian military. Because they know this is the very best case they can slap together within confines of due process. Because all that other shit is either imaginary or commited by ukronazis.
Yeah but i’m kinda surprised, with the level of propaganda i wouldn’t be surprised if the charges included witchery, cannibalism and of course their favourite 2-millenia old slander, pedophilia.
Please proceed in arresting almost every leader of a country on this planet since y’all just started giving a shit about “international law”
Even if they did catch him its going to end up like it did with Vojislav Šešelj none of the charges could actually be proven.

You’re anti-milosevic?
Why? What’s wrong? Anything I’ve never heard of him?
You call him a murderous bastard, but all he’d done was compromise with the west, trying to get peace. I don’t think he was an ideologically committed socialist or anything, but he did all he could to keep Yugoslavia United and safe from neoliberalism.
I think it’s enough of a reason to remove my comment
Read Parenti’s “To Kill a Nation” about what really happened. Milosevic was not a “murderous bastard”. He was most likely murdered because even the mock trial they were putting him through failed to find any proof and they would have to release him and it would most likely caused huge backlash about how Yugoslavia was destroyed by the west and who exactly genocided who there and for whose benefit. So he mysteriously but how conveniently died before the trial ended.

How are both of them “bad”? From a dialectically materialist standpoint, they serve(d) as barriers to liberal hegemony. Without Putin, we would lose our last chance at successful global revolution

What, do you actually think that Putin’s government will fall in a vacuum and suddenly be instantly and without bloodshed be replaced by a socialist state that will then magically and peacefully reunify all former Soviet territories and then NATO will suddenly cave in due to the power of peace and love and the whole world will suddenly turn into a stateless communist society? No, Russia would be seized and plundered by the West, and Belarus, which is borderline AES, will fall, and I think you remember what occurred in the 1990s, the last time that happened; Russian GDP fell so hard the male life expectancy dropped by 10 years. It was Putin who undid the economic devastation. Putin is not reliant on the support of the oligarchs, just look at how he imprisoned Khodorkovsky, for example, for speaking out against him on behalf of Western interests. His base is characterized by a general “united front” ATM of a wide range of political movements, including communists, and he has maintained the legacy of the Great Patriotic War whereas in Ukraine and in Latvia and elsewhere they are tearing down those monuments.
Think of the SMO as a shovel that hits the West at a 45 degree angle to get it to a place where the Chinese bulldozer can then ram straight into it and push it off a cliff. Putin does not need to be our perfect ally; his actions benefit us and that is what matters in the real world
I highly suggest reading Rainer Shea, he has some great articles on the nature of the Special Military Operation and its effects.
PS the woman in your PFP literally released a statement saying that when it came to Ukraine, Russia and North Korea were “in the same trench”
Belarus? AES?

Try to engage in good faith, please. You are being (mostly) approached in it.
