Russia to Bring Special Military Operation to Its Logical Conclusion – Putin
Lemmy libs still think that the EU is going to step up and provide military support to Ukraine in any meaningful way and believe they're in opposition to US and Russia and will stand up for what is right and against "imperial aggression". Meanwhile the EU members are awarding right wing María Corina Machado a peace price in Oslo who is calling for the US to escalate a war in Venezuela.
What about EU threats to drop trillions in bonds if US support for Ukraine ends?
They can threaten all they want publicly, they won't do it. Then they have no leverage and their only other alternative is to divert all their spending into military defense and the Europeans way of life ends. The Russian threat isn't as big as the defense companies are claiming to manufacture consent for a profitable war.
They'd accelerate their demotion from imperial vassals to periphery countries. That's it.
Russia's 3 day operation continues to amaze me, they truly suck at war like their generals are worse than a 14 year old total war gamer. Everyday it's 'russia gonan win real soon totes promise!' and yet they continue to stall out over 55 year old blokes with out of date war gear. Pathetic truly, as sad as the Yankees wasting 20 years in the desert only to be defeated by goat herders lmao. These imperialist powers sure know how to waste their young men!
The "3 day war" idea was not an official millitary or government statement, Lukashenko and an RT editor both said it and the west has been using it as a way to obscure the fact that Russia has been steadily achieving its actually stated goals. I know you've read Lenin, have you read Imperialism, the Current Highest Stage of Capitalism? The Russian Federation is governed by nationalists, not finance capital, and Russia doesn't have a stake in the global financial monopoly. It's the west that has that. Russia doesn't really meet the Marxist understanding of imperialism, nor is it acting how we would expect imperialist powers to act.
America didn't lose that many lives in AfPak. I believe for years there was just one reported casualty, and that too in friendly fire.
They still lost.
Here we go again westerpropaganda vs russian propaganda.
another day, another banger
By leaving Ukraine right? Thats the only logical conclusion I can think of.
Edit: holy hot heck did my block list just grow today.
my god yeah i knew there were a lot of tankies here but damn
"Tankies* meaning in this case: people who understand the cause and nature of the conflict und would like for it to stop asap
If Russia seems to be acting illogically to you, perhaps the problem isn’t with Russia but with your understanding of this war and Russia’s actual goals.
calling what goes on inside that head of yours thinking is very generous
No? Why would Russia stop when it's winning?
bit of a stretch to characterize this as winning. Russia faced off with a much weaker opponent and has been spinning its tires for years now. the russian economy is in shambles. the most effective russian play this entire war was putting trump back in the white house, but that fucker will be dead before midterms. look at his puffy face and purple hands. he is a walking corpse
Symping for autocrats are we? How very Marxist-Leninist Edit: * /s *
Reporting on what Putin has said about the state of the war is not "simping" for anyone, nor is Marxism-Leninism about "simping" for anyone.
Cowbee. I appreciate some of your takes on Marxism, but disagree frequently with your frame of reference on state power in the global field.
I view the war with Ukraine as one of Russo imperialism in response to Western imperialism. Indeed the USSR itself had many imperialist tendencies under a unified Asiatic / Slavic Soviet even as did Western and Asian counterparts post WW2
The irony being I am more allied to Trotsky or Luxemburg’s take. Which no doubt wouldn’t receive fair purchase in ML group. Forgive me for not directly referencing War and International - as it meanders but hits many themes relevant to Russia/Ukraine conflict
That being said to summarize my view: wars of conquest as a tool for furthering state capital / geopolitical interests shouldn’t be supported by Marxists, and posting the rationalization of an autocrat reads as support to me.
Weird post
