It’s why Soviet WW2 veterans who had served on the Western front were sent to the GULAG.
This American defector seems to have gotten by a lot better than he would have if he’d stayed loyal to America. Says he spent a few days in a cell but I don’t recall mention of any gulag.
Yes. Mostly because it’s difficult to view the full content without logging in, and I refuse to do that on principle. Screenshots and mirrors are fine, I just don’t think we should be generating traffic to that site.
We couldn’t even convince her when an election was on the line, against a man they themselves called a fascist!! They would rather see fascism in the US than sanction Israel! They would punish us for not falling in line with genocide!!! Holy shit dude what’s it gonna take to realize that you are already living under fascism (lite) and just as brainwashed as any MAGA voter!!!
After the United States and its allies refused over and over to negotiate on existential security concerns, like the expansion of NATO membership to countries on Russia’s border and the deployment of advanced missile systems to Eastern Europe, Russia launched the invasion of Ukraine on Feb. 24, 2022.
The basic logic was that the longer the war drags on, the greater the human and economic cost to Russia, and therefore the more likely it is that the United States will achieve its long-standing goal of overthrowing the Russian government — or at least severely diminishing its power. “We want to see Russia weakened,” Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin openly stated in April after a visit to Kiev.
U.S./NATO escalation came not only in the form of ever-increasing amounts of aid, it also involved more and more powerful types of weaponry as the fighting went on. As Russia’s opening offensive of the war stalled, instead of taking the opportunity to negotiate peace, U.S. officials pressed Ukraine to launch major counter-offensives.
When it came to the delivery of tanks, even Washington’s NATO allies were reluctant. […] Immediately following their success with tank deliveries, the most hardline elements in the West began to push to go even further and send fighter jets. This is not the behavior of people who have even the slightest interest in a peaceful resolution.
The war appears to have, at least for now, settled into a grinding stalemate […] If the war continuing means that there is a chance that they could achieve one of their two central goals by weakening or overthrowing the Russian government, then the number of lives lost and upended are of no consequence whatsoever to the Pentagon warmakers.
And Russia claims to have been open to a negotiated settlement since before fighting even commenced. In a major national address on Tuesday, Vladimir Putin stated, “in December 2021, we officially submitted draft agreements on security guarantees to the USA and NATO.
Fair enough on the description part but Ukraine is absolutely a proxy war on the US end of it.
That’s fair enough, what you’re doing is already far more than most people. That’s awesome. Just trying to show the audience out there that there is more to be done, we can’t allow defeatism to suppress activism in a country where fervent, unrelenting activism is the only way shit gets done 💪
Have you ever taken anything put out by the American state department at anything less than face value?
Defeated resignation is romantic and all but maybe we ought to use this energy to tear down the system before it destroys us. Get organized with a revolutionary party, yesterday. Nothing was ever fixed by sitting around feeling sorry for yourself.
What is “over” to you?
Proxy wars. You just described proxy wars. Ukraine is one of them.
Stop giving them the benefit of the doubt. They have shown you who they are, believe them. They are a fund raising party, their only allegiance is to capital.
