Littering Ukraine With Cluster Bombs Is Not Solidarity

Yeah, I lost all respect for Jacobin mag around the time the war started and they began "B-both sides"ing the issue. Jacobin mag can go fuck itself.
- You are right, maybe they are realizing their bourgeois stupidity.
It seems like the US is scrambling and scratching to find whatever can break the deadlock. A better option would be to simply allow Ukraine to join NATO and bring them under NATO's security umbrella. This strategy comes with the risk of escalation but as long as NATO troops have clear rules of engagement, and are explicitly forbidden from launching any attack at Russia itself, I don't see how Russia can claim their intervention as an "existential threat" ((although they will anyway since that was the initial justification for the invasion).
- Maybe it can, because some of the military bases and the countries that are part of NATO are very close to Russia, and historically, the west has had very bad relations with Russia, and for now extermination of the other is set as the theoric basis of the conflict, at least in the mind of people who receive everyday shit-pro-us-ukraine propaganda.
