The only thing I think is that anyone saying that Russia did this unprovoked and out of the blue, or uses this as a reason to “critically support” NATO is a fuckin op.

We’re witnessing imperialism spilling over into war. We’re witnessing the machinery of global capitalism functioning as intended. We’re seeing the expenditure of human life in the pursuit of consuming enough military hardware to justify the military economies of NATO and Russia.

There is no good ending to this. There are no good sides on this. All you can hope for is that Ukraine enters negotiations soon and NATO doesn’t escalate, but that’s seeming more and more unlikely by the day.

It’s the scale of the invasion that’s surprised even the most ardent NATO critics.

Surprised is one thing, but it’s still not unexpected or insane like some people are saying. This is just the consequences of trying to destabilize a region, it tends to get unstable.

Oh the scale is absolutely one sided, but Russia is also driven pretty heavily by military production. I’m not talking about both being equal, but economic drivers of the domestic bourgeoisie of both countries are similar.
