If spheres of influence were only far-right concept, it would be manageable. But no, leftists also like to yap about multipolar world. Obama didn’t do anything in 2014 when Crimea was occupied by russia because he believed in russian sphere of influence. He also defends his line of thought still https://www.politico.eu/article/ukraine-slams-us-barack-obama-for-excuses-over-russia-policy-war/
it pisses me off. class solidarity should not be gated by international borders. it’s fine to focus your energy where you can apply it, but the idea that an imperial power should be allowed to dominate another country because it’s their sphere is bullshit.
