The World Has a Choice: Work Together or Fall Aparthttps://www.nytimes.com/2022/06/18/opinion/inflation-global-food-shortage-ukraine.htmlhttp://archive.today/VASAP
>[…]There is merit in trying to put world food supplies above the exigencies of conflict, but easing the sanctions that Russia is demanding — those imposed on Russian exports and financial transactions, as a Russian deputy foreign minister, Andrei Rudenko, said on state media — would mean giving in to Russia’s aggression and attempt at humanitarian blackmail.
>What might yet work is a joint appeal to Mr. Putin by the countries that stand to be most affected by the food crisis. Mr. Putin has met separately with the leaders of Turkey, Israel and the African Union, among others, and has insisted publicly that responsibility for the emerging global food and energy crises falls entirely on Western greed and Western sanctions. He repeated that message forcefully in a speech on Friday at the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum, blaming the United States for the world’s instability.
>But he may find it harder to brush off an appeal from nations that are threatened by hunger, especially those that have so far resisted Western pressures to join in the ostracism of Russia. The United States should encourage and support such an appeal, which would get these countries involved in a way that serves their critical interests. And if an appeal includes a proposal to provide an escort of ships flying Ukrainian flags, Ukraine might feel less distrustful.

It's not hard. I've been here since the start and you only get banned for these two. Why? Because you decenter the reactionary role of the unprecedented unipolarity that imperialism developed into. Instead, because it's a form of liberal unipolarity, we get all sorts of ahistorical positions about how the cause of global crisis is the reactionary character of the illiberal nonwestern world.
This form of liberal bias in the Western left, a product of post cold war weakness, needs to be challenged. It's degenerated into a form of social patriotism with this crisis of Western led globalization, with Ukraine on the frontline of this dying order's battle for supremacy

Ukraine’s neo-Nazi Azov Battalion attempts rebrandinghttps://www.wsws.org/en/articles/2022/06/03/ykgh-j03.htmlFollowing the surrender of hundreds of its members to Russian forces in the city of Mariupol, Ukraine’s Azov Battalion has undertaken a PR rebranding effort to distance itself from its neo-Nazi background by introducing a new chevron which Azov refers to as “Three Swords,” or a golden trident. The symbol will be used by the newly created Azov Special Forces Unit based in Kharkov.
The “Three Swords” refers specifically to a monument installed at the Azov Regiment’s base in Mariupol. Oleksyi Reins, a member of the Azov Battalion described it as a “symbol of military glory and promise of revenge on its enemies.”

The difference between Ukraine and other attempts by US to topple governments, is that it succeeded, but is being dismantled by outside forces, which puts the heat to the toes of the NATO pseudo-leftists more than just outright failure.

The people advising Biden (a demented man) and Harris (a moron who can't finish an English sentence) are a bunch of failsons who are just in it to reap short-term monopoly rents from their advisor firms.That's very true. What's interesting about this emergent multipolarity is how liberal ideologues are conflicting with realists who think the West needs to cut its losses and accept balance of power rules, not false liberal universalism thats just an obvious skinsuit for Western unipolarity. Thats why Blinken only offers dogwhistles to every meeting and press briefing he goes to.
There is something poetic about globalization undermining liberal unipolarity, and it's because of how it confirms our theories of imperialism. Why is the democratization of capitalist development undermining liberalism? It's paradoxical, unless you're a Marxist or non-Western. It's because the West didn't come up with some universal model of development at the end of the last century, it came up with one model that all the imperialist states could agree on.
Finally you are right that the most ideological right now are by far the most incompetent. The West truly is dealing with overproduction of elites. The way the Ukraine crisis has been handled is just one blunder after another, and what's disturbing about it is how much of it is covered for by the institutions that monopolize civil society plus the public they are supposed to make literate and conscious. This crisis has revealed how liberalism has combined state and non-state power to achieve hegemony, revealing the true source of the 'hybrid war', and it's become very dangerous with this push to use some idea of democracy's emergency self-preservation powers. This is truly the democratization of imperialism, making the supremacy of your nation the extension of your rights.

This confuses Western elites because they have a supremacist view of themselves as the "indispensable nations" that everyone else needs, kind of like a geopolitical trickle-down theory. In reality, Russia makes material stuff that people actually need, while the West produces financial management schemes, pop culture, 'intellectual property' and other crap that people don't really need in a pinch.

Retard rant ahead:
The problem is that the Hydrocarbon, Fertilizer, Grain and any others market manipulations(remember, the UN predicts no grain shortage) are convenient for the partition of allegiances of the new cold war and the muscle-ing of global south and other unaligned countries into supporting the US or further debt entrapment or being punished for choosing "the wrong side" over mass starvation and collapse.
Mostly, the US is making sure that, like with the Marshall plan and the original creation of NATO(and rehabilitation of Nazis therein) that Europe's industries and holdings abroad remain within the US control and firmly opposed to Russia, which, comparisons to the USSR aside, is just too damn convenient and efficient to trade with. But just like back then, it needs to be wrapped in an ideological narrative of Good vs Evil, The Free World vs Authoritarians, Prosperity vs Privation and so on , in order to mask the material interests and avoid damaging the control the USA's assets exert over the politics. Remember, this whole conflict is just the US, through NATO, manufacturing a cold war so they can make their declining hegemony
explicitly a military problem.
Which is all fine for Eurocucks high on war propaganda and their first world problems, but there is no Marshall Plan in place to claim moral superiority here, they are openly suiciding their economies and massively degrading their welfare states at the whim of US, which is clearly profiting. There is no pre-existing devastation from a world war to blame for the misery either. So now they have to justify the per-emptive cold war escalation, up to triggering a particularly bad wave of starvation and a fuckton of proxy wars(Syria full scale war soon?), against Russia/China which is nowhere near the expansionist threat that the USSR was.
The way I see the recent theatrics over grain and their "negotiations" which are mean to retcon their self bloackade position until now:
It has to be Russia's nefarious grain blackmail(remember NATO manufactured this too, Russia isn't blockading any grain shipments) when African etc nations decide to trade with them and China so that the US can intervene and "rescue" Africa from the clutches of the new not-so-red menace(until republicans get in and the focus shifts to China).

Opposition party 'For Life' permanently banned/dissolved by Ukraine courts
>On June 20, the eighth Administrative Court of Appeal granted the claim of the Ministry of justice and banned the political party “opposition platform — for life”.
>This is reported by the analyst of the CHESNO movement Alexey Rogovik, who is in the courtroom.
>Consideration of the OPP case lasted a total of 5-6 hours — the longest of all other cases on the Prohibition of political parties. The first part of the meeting began last Thursday, but then they did not have time to consider the case and make a decision and announced a break until Monday. Also, this is the First party that defends itself and takes part in the consideration of the case. According to the representative of the Ministry of Justice, the representative from the OPPJ participated in the meeting via videoconference.
>Due to the fact that the court did not allow journalists to enter the courtroom, the arguments of the parties to the trial are not known and will become available only after the full court decision is made public. Formally, all meetings banning political parties are open, but most of them are not allowed to journalists without explanation or refer to quarantine restrictions.
>According to the court's decision on the OPPJ party, the property of this political force was transferred in favor of the state. This decision can be appealed within 20 days to the Supreme Court.
>Thus, the OPPJ is already the 11th Party whose activities are prohibited in court. At the same time, it is the only parliamentary party with a truly significant representation in local councils.
>For reference. Now the authorized persons of the opposition platform — for life party are people's deputies Vadim Rabinovich and Viktor Medvedchuk, who appear in the Register of state councillors of the honestly movement, and Yuriy Boyko.
>The party changed its name twice and participated in parliamentary elections 4 times (as part of blocs and independently). The first chairman of the political force, Viktor Golovko, is now a member of the Political Council of the OPPJ, and in the 2019 elections he ran for people's deputies on its list, but did not receive a mandate.
>The stage called "OPPJ" began in 2018. In the summer of that year, Viktor Medvedchuk, the leader of the Ukrainian Choice Movement and a friend of Russian President Vladimir Putin, joined the ranks of the Za zhitya party headed by Rabinovich. Subsequently, the chairman of its political council Yevgeny Muraev left the party, and Medvedchuk took his place.
<Read also: for life, for Rabinovich, for Medvedchuk
>In September 2018, za zhitya began negotiations on unification with the ideologically close Opposition bloc on the eve of the presidential elections. As a result, this led to a split in the “Oppoblok”: Rinat Akhmetov's group, which did not want to unite with Medvedchuk and Rabinovich, expelled Yuriy Boyko and Serhiy Lyovochkin from the faction, who in November signed a separate agreement with za zhitya to create an OPPJ.
>According to the initiators, the “opposition platform – for life” was supposed to become a platform for uniting opposition forces based on the principles of “establishing unconditional peace in the country”, the neutral status of Ukraine in the international arena and “ending the economic genocide of Ukrainians”. Subsequently, the OPPJ was joined by the Development Party of Ukraine, which is associated with Lyovochkin. In the 2019 presidential election, the opposition platform supported Yuriy Boyko, although he ran as a self-nominated candidate.

No.1025300
>>1025264Alright, so I mainly have two arguments for why calling Lithuania nazi isn't correct. First, the basic political argument. Literally no one here is nazi in their ideology, not even the biggest rightoids in the political sphere. At best you'll get skinhead FC guys who want to split Polish people's heads open and get arrested a lot, but that is within the lines of what I imagine nazism is in every country on average. When it comes to the actual political scene, the far right, or let's be honest, just right as they aren't super far, are split into two categories of conservative NATO-fundamentalists on the one hand, and, sorry to use the word, v*tn*ks on the other, except its a bit of a mixed circus of Russian minorities from shitty neighbourhoods that listened to RT 24/7, schizo Polish nationalists and deranged Catholic culture warriors that make up this second right-wing group. Also usually the first group is neutral on cultural issues, just far-right economically, while the second group is very culturally right wing, and just populist-corruptionist in terms of economics. So, yeah, not nazi material. At absolute worst you have a nationalist party that barely gets any votes, is considered by everyone as a joke and is begringly aligned with the pro-Russian parties despite probably being the only one that could be called, well, at best I'd call them fash, not really nazi either.
Now, okay, there is the Lithuanian Genocide Center and this is where the actually sus stuff begins. They are the ones who whitewash certain forest brothers. Keyword certain, but we will touch on this later. Important thing to keep in mind is that they pursue total whitewashing, and one that I do believe they themselves believe in. Because to an average Lithuanian (maybe less average as it seems to an extent the propaganda is giving in to the point that his plaque got removed (then reinstated privately by that fash party I mentioned before, if memory serves right)), the claim that, say, Vėtra was a nazi collab (and he was, and a really shitty one at that), is crazy talk. Is it a really bad look? Yes, but in practice it isn't nazi worship, because no one worshiping thinks that they were nazies.
But then the other argument - the historic one. I in no way deny the collaboration of Lithuanians with nazies (however I would very much like to point out that during WW2 there was a large number of Lithuanian communist guerrilas that in my view somewhat shake the view that we were purely nazies, one such red partisans was our long-time First Secretary Antanas Sniečkus). What I am denying is the supposed 1-to-1 relation between forrest brothers and nazi collaborators. The partisan units mainly started growing AFTER WW2. They were mostly composed of nationalists who wanted independance and of disgruntled middle / upper class people that didn't want communism. In other words - reactionary terrorists, not nazies. The nazi connection primarily stems from the fact that they were also joined with the surviving nazi collaborators after WW2, however, again, these weren't the majority. And don't you think I am deffending forrest brothers. The fuckers, like any US-sponsored contras, did a lot of dispicable shit like murdering civilians and public workers. However my issue is with the historical revisionism of rebranding them from class-motivated anti-communists, with whom the propagandized Russian audiance don't really have bone to pick, into public enemy number one nazies.
And just for the final point I'd like to repeat the one point of pride I do have about Lithuania, that out of all Baltic states, we are the only ones who didn't have an SS unit.
>>1025266I don't give a shit about Russians in Kaliningrad. By my own very weird logic of what is and isn't settlerism, I'd argue that by now its their home. I was just pointing at the interesting fact that in over a such short period of time a region that was dominantly German, with maybe some impoverished Lithuanian in the countryside, it transformed into 87% Russian region. And again, Russians are far less in the wrong here than Poles who did the same just on a wider scale.

IDK about bull testicles and sea urchins and shit but hey, no shame in making use of every part of the animal you are slaughtering.
I remember rural stories of my father and grandfather's participating in the slaughter of pigs with the whole village and the point was that ,disgusting as it may be to city folk(and holy shit I wouldn't bring a kid or a teen to these things, ever), every part of the animal that *can* be used *will* be used and that required a communal effort to make sure all of the pig , from blood to bone to fat and guts be processed and preserved before it spoils.
As disgusting as some dishes may seem, they aren't really "horror" unless you are wasting animals, farming inefficiently for a tiny "delicatessen" or inflicting undue suffering like with Foie gras. Which is funny because much of mundane meat comes from industrial farming methods that may as well be animal torture at an industrial scale.

Nothing other than to render public the crimes confessed by Bush’s slip of tongue: the documents revealed by Wikileaks revealed how, under Bush’s presidency, “the US military had killed hundreds of civilians in unreported incidents during the war in Afghanistan, while leaked Iraq war files showed 66,000 civilians had been killed, and prisoners tortured.” Crimes fully comparable with what Putin is doing in Ukraine. From today’s hindsight, we can say that Wikileaks disclosed dozens of American Buchas and Mariupols.
>So while putting Bush on trial is no less illusory than bringing Putin to the Hague tribunal, the minimum to be done by those who oppose Russian invasion of Ukraine is to demand Assange’s immediate release.It seems to me that this last paragraph is pretty useless as virtue signalling to lefties because anyone with two braincells would balk at all the preceding NATO apologia, so it can only be targetted at the normies that would consume the propaganda in earnest, and getting them to act.
Normies love their "defectors" and now the appointed popular culture approved "anti-tankie" leftist defector(will he replace Chomsky?) is telling them the virtuous thing with regards to Ukraine is to save Assange, which means immediate action.

similarly, your virtue signaling by "defending assange" still havent had any effect on his fate except provoke big medias to smear him even harder and suck US dpt cock even harder. The revelations he made had 0 consequences for US war criminals and prompted all glowies to take more immediate control of big media outlets like the guardian and make an example out of him.
Also I will point out russia reasoning to go to war is thousands of times more justifiable than any modern US war waged, if only because its a real threat on their direct border, and equating bush with putin is complete bad faith.
in short fuck off zizek, fuck you and your libs friends, stop eating from the trashcan and look at material conditions

>>1025793Hold your horses, i think that Nato should be disbanded and that the West should stop sending weapons to Ukraine, and stop breaking the world economy with sanctions. Instead it should pressure the leftover Ukrainian rump state to make a peace deal. I don't agree with what Zizek is saying about Russia. But the insane media war that the western press has waged, was completely pointless, it didn't change the outcome of history. The events that we are witnessing now have been set in motion a decade ago when the US intervened in the Ukrainian internal political system by ousting Yanukovych.
We should tell the truth about the Ukraine war because it's bad if people form their political opinions based on lies and deception, and telling the truth about war is Assange's legacy too. But I can't really be too mad about Zizek intentions, he is trying to manipulate the Liberals to do something about Assange. He's probably prostituting him self out for nothing, but lets wait and see. Letting Zizek do this doesn't mean that we should change our political line, We just politely ignore Zizek.

https://apnews.com/article/ukraine-rescue-missions-daa28fd48e3e03c181c404b944d391e9‘The impossible’: Ukraine’s secret, deadly rescue missions>KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — As was his habit before each flight, the veteran Ukrainian army pilot ran a hand along the fuselage of his Mi-8 helicopter, caressing the heavy transporter’s metal skin to bring luck to him and his crew.
>They would need it. Their destination — a besieged steel mill in the brutalized city of Mariupol — was a death trap. Some other crews didn’t make it back alive.
>A series of clandestine, against-the-odds, terrain-hugging, high-speed helicopter missions to reach the Azovstal defenders in March, April and May are being celebrated in Ukraine as among the most heroic feats of military derring-do of the four-month war. Some ended in catastrophe; each grew progressively riskier as Russian air defense batteries caught on.
>The 51-year-old pilot — identified only by his first name, Oleksandr — flew just the one mission to Mariupol, and he considered it the most difficult flight of his 30-year-career. He took the risk, he said, because he didn’t want the Azovstal fighters to feel forgotten.
>In the charred hell-scape of that plant, in an underground bunker-turned-medical station that provided shelter from death and destruction above, word started reaching the wounded that a miracle might be coming. Among those told that he was on the list for evacuation was a junior sergeant who’d been shredded by mortar rounds, butchering his left leg and forcing its amputation above the knee.
>“Buffalo” was his nom de guerre. He had been through so much, but one more deadly challenge loomed: escape from Azovstal.HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

>>1026028>If Buffalo had had his way, he would not have lived to be evacuated. His life would have ended quickly, to spare him the agony he suffered after 120mm mortar rounds tore apart his left leg, bloodied his right foot, and peppered his back with shrapnel during street fighting in Mariupol on March 23.
>The 20-year-old spoke to The Associated Press on condition that he not be identified by name, saying he didn’t want it to seem that he is seeking publicity when thousands of Azovstal defenders are in captivity or dead. He had been on the trail of a Russian tank, aiming to destroy it with his shoulder-launched, armor-piercing NLAW missile on the last day of the invasion’s first month, when his war was cut short.
>Tossed next to the wreckage of a burning car, he dragged himself to cover in a nearby building and “decided it would be better to crawl into the basement and quietly die there,” he said.
>But his friends evacuated him to the Ilyich steel mill, which subsequently fell in mid-April as Russian forces were tightening their grip on Mariupol and its strategic port on the Sea of Azov. Three days passed before medics were able to amputate, in a basement bomb shelter. He considers himself lucky: Doctors still had anesthetic when his turn came to go under the knife.
>When he came around, a nurse told him how sorry she was that he’d lost the limb.
>He cut through the awkwardness with a joke: “Will they return the money for 10 tattoo sessions?”WHAT TATTOOS I WONDER
>“I had a lot of tattoos on my leg,” he said. One remains, a human figure, but its legs are gone now, too.
>After the surgery, he was transferred to the Azovstal plant. A stronghold covering nearly 11 square kilometers (more than 4 miles), with a 24-kilometer (15-mile) labyrinth of underground tunnels and bunkers, the plant was practically impregnable.They transferred the wounded into Azovstal, into an area they knew was going to be surrounded.

What failed Ukraine is a dying empire flailing around first to ensure its order chases the economic center of the world as it moves east and second to incoherently (for a supposed liberal democracy) holding on to what it controls. Ukraine is a sacrifice for a failed foreign policy desperately working to set up new walls as it stopped expanding.
Trotsky would know what the problem is here. He called for an independent Soviet Ukraine, because that's really all that would hold it together. He knew how weak bourgeois democracy was in these nations and what they would default to in order to stay integral. Ukraine's history besides early on with the first Rada, which had a socialist influence, tells us all about that.

>They would need it. Their destination — a besieged steel mill in the brutalized city of Mariupol — was a death trap. Some other crews didn’t make it back alive.It's par for the course. Either it will be revealed who or what they were hiding in Azovstal(Russians still combing the place I think) or it wont, but the record of the suicide helicopter missions needs to be incorporated into the narrative
somehow. As well as all the plane pilots which seem to get shot down as soon as Ukraine gets(or assembles I guess) new planes. They have to be willing heroes and their lives are not squandered, especially not for a few VIPs, no siree they risk everything for the lowliest trooper.
That's how they do much of propaganda, once an inconvenient fact becomes more dissonant if ignored than recognized, it gets incorporated to the narrative. The articles bemoaning the logistics difficulties
the morale problems,
the meatgrinders,
the Azov being Nazis,
the normalizing the various symbols, patches, tatoos by candidly portraying them in media without comment as if it was just mundane to empower Nazis
the desertions,
the hiding behind civilian houses in Kharkiv,
the "volunteer" heroics,
the "war fatigue" AKA casualties,
the implicit acknowledgement that no part of Ukraine is safe from Russian missiles,
the quickly buried leads admitting to Ukrainian and foreigner warcrimes,
the admission of the "information war"'s outright lies as if it was a "grassroots" way for the propagandees to stick it to Putin,
the blowback from sanctions(which were operating as intended by separating Russia),
the "corpse appreciator" Ukrainian soldier meant to retcon their pre-existing nazoid depravity as a consequence of the war trauma
the faux "grain blockade" negotiation to retcon the fact that it was Ukraine which so far refused to open their ports(and blocked them with mines and scuttled ships) while Russia offered safe routes
… these ones come to mind, I'm sure there are many more.
It all comes together so that the narrative is spun with retconned facts where the holes were, for later reference, while the leads to undesirable facts are buried behind all the "approved" late coverage. Except for "fringe" sources and openly hostile ones which means even passing references to the truth are "the enemy's version" of events.

I wonder how the Revisionist/Tankie/Dengist Marcyite Campists who simp for Putinist Russia right now will feel if in the aftermath of the Republicans gaining the Presidency, a 60-seat Senate Supermajority, and a massive House Majority after the 2024 election, Putinist Russia enters into a De-Facto alliance with the U$ (this is more likely if Trump is the President then if it’s Desantis, as the former has voiced support for lifting all sanctions on Putinist Russia and recognizing Crimea as Russian, in exchange for Putinist Russia having a ceasefire that withdraws its troops back to the status quo antebellum in Ukraine, withdrawing from Syria, supporting a U$ Invasion of Iran, and severing it’s ties with Dengist China) against Dengist China, that sees the later completely surrounded on all sides and facing an inevitable Civil War after being defeated by the U$ Navy/Air Force (with help from Putinist Russia, India, Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan) in a Conventional War once their Sweatshops are Automated (thus allowing U$ Corporations to move their production back to the U$ without paying any Workers), collapsing their economy and forcing them to move against Taiwan in a desperate bid to “Rally around the Flag”, and subsequently get destroyed by the 21st century analogue of the Eight-Nation Alliance, 🤔?

The reason Maoism sucks outside Chinese conditions is it's a form of ultraleft adventurism. It's a bizarre guerilla sect isolated from the masses and democratic politics. ML was good because it was flexible across conditions. It has more examples of setting up states and political coalitions based on an alliance of left forces.
Maoism is only good since it recognized Soviet revisionism. Mao was suspicious after Stalin of the 'socialist construction' path the USSR took to complete the half revolution of 1917. As an alternative, he proposed more socialist struggle as seen with the cultural revolution to complete his half revolution of 1949.
The world we inherited is based on these completion attempts failing and Marxism losing claim to the democratic revolution outside of the West (except China). The future here is not in brainless PPW in the most backward countries. It's working to reestablish peoples' democracy in the periphery. We need a dictatorship of progressive classes with an interest in combining the development of each respective nation. China is our ally, not the enemy, and Russia is a fellow traveler which must be led in a direction to where its Bonapartism exhausts itself and the claim to furthering Russian independence from imperialism and CIS integration can be handed over to a coalition of left forces.

Russia is also pursuing rapid integration with China, which the right populists obsess over.
Russia boosts left and right voices in the West which oppose liberal unipolarity. There's no evidence it wants to ally with any of them against China.

And your delusion about Russia + America teaming up to conquer those fucking browns comes right out of the 1990s NeoCon handbook.
The truth is that the re-centering of industrial production, weakening of the post-Bretton woods system and petrodollar, and cheapening of overland transportation of cargo making US thalassocracy obsolete is having a marked degenerative on the US economy and society - One that China and Russia are not facing at this moment.
America is done, forget about it, its over.
The longer the american 'left' refuses to acknowledge these harsh economic truths and focuses on endlessly trying to revitalise the constantly withering great society and new deal infrastructure (Which was only made possible by the aformentioend petrodollar, Bretton woods, a marked imbalance of industrial production and Thalassocracy) the more the common people will turn towards bizarre conspiracy theories to explain why the economy is withering on a vine.

He came out on 2015 and said the Ukraine crisis is caused by the West breaking this balance despite Russia's consistent signaling that this was happening
The significance here is that liberals argue balance of power is 19th century shit we've left behind and they don't have to deal with it in the 21st century. They argue that is the contradiction behind the crisis and therefore its russia's fault. Mearsheimer realizes this is a lie and liberalism is just the logic of Western supremacy in all balances, and we expanded too far with it thanks to unipolar hubris

Still no attacks on Kiev "decision-making centers." Sigh.
The Russians aren't stupid, so they have to know that their apparent softness and their timidity in following through on threats is responsible for many of their woes, including the Finland/Sweden NATO shit and the latest Lithuanian shit.

In reality I am a Marxist-Leninist-Maoist who upholds the ongoing PPWs in India, the Philippines, Turkey and Peru while simultaneously critically supporting the U$ Democrats as a "Lesser Evil", due to PPW not being applicable to the current Material Conditions of the U$. Additionally, your reading comprehension must suck, because what I was doing in my potential future scenario of Putinist Russia aligning with a Crypto-Fascist MAGAtard-controlled U$ against Iran and Dengist China, that culminates in a World War III between these countries, was not predicting what I want to happen but what is a likely outcome of the current Material conditions of the Global Capitalist-Imperialist System. Finally, as much as I despise Dengist China for being a Capitalist, Imperialist, and Fascist State, I would hold my nose and critically support them in any potential War between them and a 21st century "Eight Nation Alliance" led by a Crypto-Fascist MAGAtard-controlled U$ and Putinist Russia, 😜!
