  • This approach failed… yada yada…

    not quite. The approach was working until the west sent Boris over to threaten/bribe zellensky.

    reverting from “5th generation warfare”, “hybrid warfare” or whatever else you want to call it,

    5th gen war is the pipe dream of fail children. You cant propagandise material conditions away eventually rubber meets road and people kill each other.

    Kiev has broken the taboo, and obviously Russia responded in kind.

    not true. Russia hasnt had to do a mobilization. They called up 300k former soldiers near the start but the rest has been voluntary conscripts. Their regular compulsory service personnel are not being sent to Ukraine.

    The Ukrainians have broken many taboos already and then acted surprised when their enemy responded in kind

    Again "both sides"ing. RAF aren’t hitting schools or hospitals unless soldiers are using them as bases. Russia has been incredibly restrained in its war.

    They get the facts right about the present state of the Ukraine

    no they don’t. They ignore the fact that it is a proxy war. They blame “Ukraine” for making things “ideological” and make it sound like Russia is doing a war of conquest. Ukraine is a bulwark for western imperialism. Ukrainians aren’t making any decisions. They ignore that Russia tried to negotiate for years. Russia didn’t even want Donbas they just wanted the murdering and fascism to stop.

    The rest of your opinions are meh. What liberal governments do to each other doesn’t matter much but any war that hurts the great satan is a good thing. There is only one war that should be waged, class war. If that means a gulag for your own mother because she wont willingly give up her “investment” properties that’s how it goes.

    Anything that threatens the western hegemony and imperialism must be destroyed because it threatens the comfortable life that the 1st world gets though neo-colonialism which is institutional racism at a international level.

    Tankies want to make the first world share their treats with the “unwashed masses” of the third world and pay them a fair rate for their resources and labor.

    “The electable left” (aka liberals, democratic voters, etc) are actually crypto-fascists. Fascism doesn’t attack the liberals way of life. It isn’t a serious threat to their treats so they don’t rail against it.

    Technically people who are couch surfing, sleeping in tents in campgrounds, or sleeping in garages or caravans are homeless as are people living in crisis accommodation. “Unhoused” lowers the statistic to just people without a roof over their head.









  • But I stand by my comment about Putin being stupid. Calling it a police action without stating exact goals means he’s already lost the information war.

    But he didn’t do that. Putin said exactly what the SMO was supposed to do. Putin has some serious flaws but being stupid isn’t one of them. Stop reading the NYT. “because x is stupid/incompetent/insane/evil” is the weakest analysis you can do. It is almost never true and just shows that you don’t understand the situation. It’s marvel movie level thinking.

    The stated aims of the SMO are Defence of the Donbas separatist states, Demilitarization, Denazification, and forcing Ukraine to stay neutral. Since Ukraine and the west proved they are pathological liars Russia’s game plan changed a little and now they have incorporated the break away states into Russia proper but the other goals have stayed the same.

    Ukraine’s army will eventually collapse. They can’t stand up against Russia forever. They cant recruit soldiers fast enough, The west cant manufacture weapons fast enough and even if they could they wouldn’t want to give them away to a failed state. When that happens all that remains is tearing down some nazi monuments and installing a puppet government.

    Again the MIC and LNG exporters win is a short lived boost that will ultimately accelerate their own downfall. Their wins are at the cost of their allies. USA are cannibalizing Europe to prop themselves up. This is only a win if you don’t look past the immediate future.



  • It’s the task of the workers in the West to dismantle NATO and Western Imperialism

    Ok go do that. Let us know how it works out.

    The US working class benefit too much from the empire to overthrow it. Material conditions must be further degraded to get popular support for revolution. The war is lowering material condition for the working class in the EU and USA.

    It is also raising the prospects for the working class in the global south. BRICS+ is giving them more bargaining power. Many imperialist collaborator governments will likely resist the new prospects increasing chances of revolutions in the global south. For decades socialist revolutions were put down by western hegemony but with their capability eroded by the war and the rise of the Sino-Russian alliance the west no longer has carte blanche to meddle.

    All this points to the war being a boon for socialists and furthering the path towards revolution in multiple nations. The longer it goes on the bigger the benefits.
