Biden can’t even warmonger properly lmao. Looks like Zelensky and Ukraine could be turning away from US and opening up some diplomatic channels with Russia.

US tried so hard to make this into a war but everyone seems to be getting sick of their sundowning ramblings.

Seems to Have backfired spectaculary , ( But i have to admit they had me for 2 days… , fucking Psy-Ops… ) … the amazing part was that it appears to have been a Schoolboy Plot , to get a Proxy war in Ukraine and to force germany away from russia (probably with the greens in the goverment they speculated they would follow) and the Result is that Germany distanced themself from Nato (with Silent backing from most of the EU , especially France) , approved NS2 , and Ukraine is distancing itself from the USA currently . . . . .

Great Success… , oh and Cuba , venezuela and Nicaragua will soon host Russian troops it seems ? … great deal you did there , trading Ukraine (non vital interest) against the Monroe Doctrin (the Vital strategic interest) and not even getting Ukraine…

I can see Cuba allowing Russian troops for us safety reasons, but they are ideological opposites now. Shit sucks

This is why it’s so interesting to me that Russia is still treated as a Big Bad. We should get along great with Russia now! I’m not sure what it is, is it just leftover red scare Russophobia? Or is Russia too unwilling to bend to American pressure and we just don’t like that? Or something else?

Russia has consolidated control of its gas industry under a cartel which is politically aligned with the state, rather than global finance. They’re still capitalist monsters polluting the earth for a quick buck, but they are not for sale the way the west would like them to be.

Putin is doing basically nationalistic capitalism, so only Russian capitalists can exploit Russian workers (and Central Asian immigrants). Which I guess is marginally better for Russians but Wall Street hates that they can’t buy up all those Russian assets for themselves. Thus they have demanded that the US government embark on a maximum pressure campaign to open Russia’s markets by overthrowing Putin. It has not been working lol

We wanna take things back to the 90s when Western companies owned everything productive in Russia. Just a lil civil war collapse so American companies can plunder.

It’s institutional Russophobia that goes back generations. The idea of Russia being a “hotbed of totalitarianism” predates the Soviet Union - before that there was constant hand wringing about the threat of “Czarism”.

America is a wing of the British Empire, especially the Progressive/Federalist wing of the ruling class, and the Brits have had an insane rivalry with Russia going back to the 19th century. Aligning with Russia is a non-starter.
