Russia's state budget: saved
Putin's war chest: salvaged
Further proof that the Burger Reich is appeasing (((Russia))) instead of actually stopping warfare. Treaty after treaty, (((Putin))) is playing with Trump's mind like a fiddle
I'm glad Russia is winning their war

>>2719896years are composed of days. there are years where days happen and days where years happen.
>>2719896The Ukrainian “army” disintegrated after less than two weeks
>>2719926Unfortunately, the Russian "army" also disintegrated with it.
>>2719896No it wasn't. No Russian official actually said that. An American general said it, and NAFOs kept the meme in circulation with a fake screencap until even so-called western radicals started believing it.

>>2720095I slava ukraini so much right now, if you don't want me to slava ukraini, then Cucktin should take it and build Novorossiya
>>2720051Luka was overly optimistic about NATO and Cucktin's willingness to sacrifice millions of people in a pointless war.
It did last very little until Kiev was in artillery range and forced to negotiate around march. But then NATO sent BoJo there, began the Ukrainian genocide psyop to justify their posture in starting a very different kind of conflict. The RF should fucking leveled every single governance building with BoJo inside.
Alas, Cucktin.
I like how the main criticism of putin that gets conveyed by his detractors on this board is that he isn't as recklessly bloodthirsty and stupid as they are.
>>2720176Cucktin is one of the most retarded leaders in all of world history. King Lear has a higher lQ than the pathetic specimen called Vladimir Vladimirovich. It's truly a shame that the Russian people must suffer for his incompetence. At this point even Zyuganov would be a better leader. This cuckold thought he would secure his place in history by taking Ukraine and got BTFO so hard that he lost Venezuela Syria Armenia Azerbaijan and soon to be Iran, while burning through basically all Cold War era Soviet stockpilesand turning his military into a laughingstock. History will remember Cucktin as Yeltsin 2.0.

2) Lukashenko is not part of the Russian Government, nor does he represent it.
3) Ukraine practically DID surrender in a few days, asking for peace, which Putin agreed two at Istanbul, only for Zelensky to immediately turn around and launch a surprise counter-attack, forcing Russia to pull back to areas that it had a foothold in within the Donbass.
Fucking retard.

>>2720134Truth. Luka overestimated Christcucktin's iron fist. It's not for nothing that Luka mentioned TWICE how the Russian Gen Staff wanted to Oreshnik the Ukro regime but Christcucktin refused. Unlike some others here, I don't blame Luka for getting into a prisoner-release deal and joining Drumpf's board of piss. Why wouldn't you hedge over doubts about Christcucktin's seriousness? And I don't blame (thx for the comprehensive list, anon)
Venezuela, Cuba, India, Serbia, Syria, Iran, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan for turning more to the Western psychopaths, either. Christcucktin has no geostrategic foresight and doesn't understand the second-order effects of his Kirill "TRUMP IS BASED" diplomacy, Donbass performance, and craven tolerance for NATO provocations.
>>2721255 (me)
I've thought about this some more and have decided I was being too harsh, too hyperbolic. Like maybe a few Scientologists are dumber, but if we want to be sure, there are those UFO breeding cults around.
>>2721264Yeah tbh there was no way for them to do anything else long term even without the Maduro arc because their BRICS partners (lol) just don't have their back or any will to project their hard power. Theyll end up like Cuba if they keep going autarky.
Delcy don't have much of a choice.
>>2721372I wonder whether the KPRF will still be shitting on Khrushchev if and when Cuba falls under Putin. Will they stay the course, or will they become a real opposition party?
>>2721264>this law represents president Maduros vision for the futureThen why you couped him and brought the burgers in? disgusting
<Lavrov:
>"The spirit of Anchorage is evaporating"
I don't know what his plan is saying something like this every two weeks. If he's helping the hardliners put pressure on the Putins/Peskovs/Dmitrievs and other Anchorage fetishists, as some pundits have speculated, that's based, but if this is actually some Putin-coordinated tactic of "I'll take my ball home… really, I will!" that's just sad and pathetic.
>The Kremlin says it sees no signs the EU is reconsidering its plans to ban Russian gas, after Vladimir Putin suggested Moscow might redirect supplies elsewhere before the restrictions come into force
Yeah, Peskov, cuz nobody bloody believes Cucktin. For four years, he's "thought out loud" about lots of things he didn't have the nerve to do.
>ukraine simps forever living in the past because the present and future is so grim
>>2721494Justice for my chill pedophile homies.
I'm sorry, but Cucktin is an outdated name now. The Overton window of cuckoldry shifted a lot in the last week. Putin is less cuck of center now, if anything.
>>2721462I think there is certainly a section of people developing that is very much hardline (same is probably true for China). Iran is basically full of hardliners now.
>>2723329And this shift towards the hardline position you kinda see happening on pro-russian telegram. Some of those are also deeply involved in the smo so i would say thats a good sign overall.
i dont a see an end to this war that would leave either side in a decent state of affairs tbh. Russia having massive amounts of war debt and crippled vets and ukraine having that x10 and an essentially ruined half of a country. Shit is quite grim boyos
MOSCOW, March 6 (Reuters) - Russian companies will redirect some of the liquefied natural gas supplied to Europe to other markets, Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak said on Friday.
Russian President Vladimir Putin earlier this week proposed considering the possibility of halting gas supplies to Europe amid the sharp rise in oil and gas prices due to the Iranian crisis, thus anticipating the EU's decision on a phased plan to phase out Russian gas.
"In accordance with the president's instructions, we examined this issue today. We discussed in detail the current situation and the possibilities for redirecting gas," Novak said.
"A decision was made that some of the LNG volumes currently supplied to Europe will be redirected to other markets where constructive, pragmatic relations are being built with our country, where there is demand and the opportunity to enter into long-term contracts."
According to him, companies may redirect supplies from Europe to, among other places, India, Thailand, the Philippines, and China.
>>2723672Lol, lmao even. Russia was holding a grudge all this time and just waited for an opportune moment.
>>2723448russia barely used debt, they havent even yet drained their prepared money reserve for the war and stopped being so reliant on oil and actually taxed porkies, and the war keynesianism helped them economically
but yes, this is still a colossal waste of life and production, this is war
>>2723678So, basically we are at a point where le bastion of western freedumb against le mongol ruzzian hordes relies on large stash of cash being moved across borders like that? It looks like a parody of a Sopranos episode. Btw, if I was the Hunnic government, I would confiscate all of the goodies and if the Hohols tries to do something funny, proclaim a state of emergency and suspend the coming election - which I guess Orban would like to do at this point.
That said, and getting back to these kinds of "financial transfers", we only know about the exact amount of a single one of them because of all of this kerfuffle, but we should assume billions have been moved like that for years. And I guess every single cent of that is obviously tracked in the way they are spent once they reach Hoholistan.
>>2723681it's not even a grudge, why would they stick to europe who just accepts LNG begrudgingly, and on a temporary basis
is leftypol pro russia, pro ukraine or neither?
>>2724878pro russia except for a few idiots
>>2724878This thread is for intelligence agencies that couldn't hack it on 4chan.
>>2723882Actually as a part of a covert operation Hungarian authorities observed that at least roughly 2 billion dollars were transferred through Hungary.
>>2724900>$2 billionMeaningless really. What they open another 2 holocaust museums for a billion a pop?
>>2724970There really aren't that many holocaust musems, maybe 500 in existence.
Should be more, to warn people not to target Jews.
>>2724986shut up you fucking idiot.
>>2724878more anti-nato than pro-Russia, but more pro-Russia than pro-nazi ukraine, yes.
>>2725052>pro-nazi ukraineOnly a small portion of military action, it's weird that you are seething about it.
no movement
>>2725054this guy, who killed a 2014 after Maidan switching-sides Russian communist was awarded by zelya last year. guy's a literal nazi.
'seething about it'? nafo pls.
>>2725060Yeahhh… I'm not going to entertain some odd delusion where Zelensky is supporting nazis except for sending them to the front line to support a war which will benefit his own race (jews).
uygha plz
>>2725071You said and described, everything that my post entailed.
>>2725071The even better part is that Putin is asshurt from 80 years of history, being chabad controlled himself.
>>2721773>2014 flashback:>MOSCOW (Reuters) - A reported comment by President Vladimir Putin that Russia could capture Ukraine's capital Kiev within two weeks was taken out of context, Itar-Tass news agency quoted a Kremlin foreign policy aide as saying on Tuesday.>It quoted Yuri Ushakov as saying that whether or not those words were spoken, the quote "was taken out of context and had a totally different meaning".>Italy's La Repubblica reported this week that Putin told European Commission President Jose Manuel Barroso in a telephone conversation: "If I want to, I can take Kiev in two weeks". The comment was reportedly relayed by Barroso to leaders at last weekend's European Union summit.It was "taken out of context" because it was interpreted as an imminent threat to contest more than Crimea, whereas Putin was trying to downplay any imminent threat to Ukraine by sharing his legitimate belief that he could take Kiev in two weeks if he were
actually an unhinged aggressor.
lol, so yeah, he did believe that.
>>2723158On the contrary, he's more of a cuck. Even the Ukros are wondering why the large missile/drone waves in Ukraine have suddenly stopped post-Iran. Putin is offering relief to his Western partners while they focus on Iran.
>>2723672>Russian companies will redirect some>some>1%? 5%?Typical Christcucktin half measures.
>>2724986But the Jews didn't stop the Holocaust. It was the Soviets who stopped the Holocaust. There should be 5000+ Communist propaganda centers opened worldwide so that fascists don't get any more stupid ideas.
>>2725159You missed the key weasel word.
>companies may redirect supplies>may redirect>mayCucktin is "giving permission" for something that no company is going to bother to do. The epitome of uselessness. God I can't stand this fucking CUCK.
>>2724900>>2723882There was no need for "covert operations", these are regular official money transfers between two banks that are announced in advance to the relevant authorities. The Hungarian authorities have already released the personnel because they couldn't find anything wrong with them. The money they are keeping on suspicions of "money laundering" but it is most likely made up simply to delay returning it. It's empty sabre ratting from Orbán who knows he will lose the election in April and hopes that making it look like Hungary is at war with Ukraine will somehow scare idiots into voting for him even though this whole thing just makes him look like he's desperate to drag the country into war. Despite his whole campaign being based on him being the only person who can prevent the war from reaching Hungary.
>>2725302Was just reading on Twitter that one day after Cucktin called the Gulf states, the Iranian president has apologized to them and said they'll no longer be targeted unless attacks come from there.
Grim.
>>2725308>regular official money transfers that have an SBU general escorting them for some reason>>2725157they just hit a bunch of stuff tonight
>The targets of the strikes, among other things, were energy infrastructure facilities.
>In particular, the explosions occurred in:
>— Novodnistrovsk, Chernivtsi region, where the hydroelectric power station is located;>— Ladyzhina, Vinnytsia region, where the Ladyzhinskaya thermal power plant is located;>— Kiev, Odessa, Kharkov, Zaporizhia and Zhytomyr region.
>The attack also damaged the railway infrastructure. Ukrzaliznytsia is changing train routes in the Rivne, Vinnytsia and Zhytomyr regions. >>2725353He gave them a 10-day pause until he could secure a commitment from Iran not to target Gulf states and inconvenience the West.
The energy infrastructure campaign was a dud, as it was always destined to be under Putin's leadership.
Caused some blackouts and inconveniences, but electrical availability never dropped below an average 40% because after one flirtation with hitting one of the Rosne 750kV substations, Putin didn't have the nerve to actually wipe out all the 750kV nuclear substations.
So now it's just a rinse-and-repeat limp strategy targeting the same facilities, sending the same pointless le rational thinker man signals that rabid animals don't give a shit about.
>>2725397 (same)
>same pointless le rational thinker man signals that rabid animals don't give a shit about.Much like the two Oreshnik strikes, btw.
>>2725397>>2725400I like how whenever Putin needs to make it clear that he's serious (he's not serious) he launches an Oreshnik strike that doesn't even hit anything important and accomplishes nothing. He does this roughly once a year.
>>2725512>once a year Putin is a fucking schizo who needs to breathe in the aroma of Monster Energy deeply and to watch Making Fiends
>>2725512They don't care about Russia's capabilities and signals under Putin, because they know he's never going to use them effectively and will always be bogged down in Donbass, putting no real pressure whatsoever on Ukraine's political center of gravity.
They COULD be concerned about potential Putin replacements who'll untie the military's hands, but I haven't seen anyone on the bench who's all that better. Maybe worried about a Prighozin 2.0 scenario that actually succeeds?
<Rybar in English
<@rybar_en
<📝 They've reached the dry cargo ships too
<Another Russian-linked vessel has been seized — this time the dry cargo ship Caffa, detained off Sweden’s southern coast while carrying mandarins to St. Petersburg.
<The ship used to sail under the Russian flag and exported grain from Crimea, which is why it ended up on sanctions lists.
<This is exactly the trend we’ve been warning about: pressure on Russian commercial shipping is growing steadily. Even ordinary dry cargo vessels are no longer safe in the Baltic.
<If there’s no adequate response, the Baltic will gradually turn into a de facto NATO lake, and the same scenario will likely spread to the Mediterranean. The appetite for further restrictions, including on Kaliningrad, is only increasing.
The return of '22 Rybar? Could it be? Are the rumors of discontent in the foreign policy and military policy establishments real and his MoD friends have let him speak openly again?
>>2725556Relax my ziggers. Russia didn't need those fruits anyways. Who cares if NATO starts hijacking every Russian ship they can get their hands on? The most important thing is to maintain the Spirit of Anchorage and relations with Trump.
>>2725567Fake IntBrig, but true: Putin is letting them slice that salami in shipping just like they sliced it in Ukraine to the point that Donbass is going nowhere and no Russian or Ukrainian can stick his head out there without getting FPV droned.
3 Zakharova statements
2 Medvedev nuke threats
1 Putin legal complaint
and a partridge in a pear tree
>>2725308i thought hungary took the money as leverage so ukraine would turn the oil pipe back on? legally they'd have claim to it if ukraine broke the contract
>>2725614The official statement is that it was seized due to suspicion of money laundering and the narrative parroted by the government politicians is that the money could have been used to finance their opposition.
Hungary gave Ukraine three days to restore oil flows or else it will reveal who was doing the illicit money shit. Seems a bit sketchy of them to imply they'd seal their lips in exchange for oil, tbh. I hope they do the right thing and spill regardless.
>>2726244Nah it only takes a couple weeks here's a Ukranian instagram bragging about already having restored power:

It's a testament to the sheer resilience of Soviet engineering and urban planning that hundreds of drones and missiles are only capable of so much even despite ukrainian neglect and corruption. This is literally one of those stories about primitive post-apocalyptic tribes fighting each other using the technology of a long-lost highly advanced civilization
NEW
The Kremlin "accidentally" leaked unedited footage of geriatric Putin having a coughing fit, sparking rumors on Telegram among ecstatic Russian ultras that their long-discussed plot of the Siloviki using the Security Council to remove Putin for "health reasons" is underway. Supposedly the Siloviki has been disgusted with weak-ass Putin for a long time and only the oligarch faction was propping him up, but now it too sees him as a liability to profits, given that he's persisting in his delusional "spirit of Anchorage" / "Dmitriev $14T formula" instead of milking the current energy crisis for all it's worth (including approving hybrid attacks to exacerbate it).
Please have a greater than 20% chance of being true…
>>2727224wait… so does this mean that cucktin posters won?
>>2727232It's still at the fanfiction stage, imo.
The only thing I'm convinced of is that it wasn't an accidental leak, but this could be something coordinated by Putin for some unknown reason.
>>2727224>see news about le groundbreaking Putin "leak">everyone talking like it's le big happening, Putin dropping some inconvenient truthnukes or something>see what it's about>it's the kremlin website posting the wrong take of the women's day address where Putin coughs a littleFucking schizos man

>>2727351>Peskov wonders what law had replaced international law. >International law effectively no longer exists, and what has replaced it is still difficult to articulate, Peskov stated. He called the global situation a "perfect storm," in which Russia needs to focus on its own interests.Someone should tell them
>>2727357Earlier I saw the one below and was amazed that it was coming from Peskov:
>@SprinterPress>To be honest, I don't even understand how to urge anyone to follow the norms and principles of international law anymore. It practically doesn't exist anymore, says Kremlin spokesman Peskov.I was hopeful it indicated a change in Putin's thinking. Then I remembered that people at that age are unable to change. Likely just more Kremlin whining.
>Iran has 'betrayed all of us' but all sides must de-escalate, says Qatar PMSheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani described Iran's strikes on Gulf countries as a "dangerous miscalculation", warning the escalation risks destabilising the region and sending shockwaves through the global economy.
Speaking to the media for the first time since Qatar has come under repeated missile and drone attacks, the prime minister said the country had entered what he called "a very difficult period" but praised the professionalism of its defence and security forces.
For a man who has mediated some of the world's most complex crises, what stood out to me was how angry he was about Iran's actions.
"It is a big sense of betrayal," he told me. "Just an hour after the start of the war, Qatar and other Gulf countries have been attacked. We made clear that we were not going to take part in any wars against our neighbours."
For a country that has long kept diplomatic channels open with Tehran - even during the most volatile moments - the tone was striking. Qatar has traditionally positioned itself as a global mediator, able to speak to everyone. That relationship with Tehran now appears strained.
"All the attacks on the Gulf countries - we never expected this from our neighbour," he said. "We have always tried to preserve a good relationship with Iran, but the justifications and pretexts they are using are completely rejected."
Yet even as he condemned the strikes, the prime minister repeatedly stressed that military escalation would only deepen the crisis - and that the responsibility to step back lies with all sides.
"We continue to seek de-escalation," he said. "They are our neighbours - it's our destiny
His message was directed not only at Tehran. He also called on the United States to reduce tensions, warning of the risk that the entire region slides into war.
Diplomacy, he argued, remains the only viable path out of the crisis.
"The miscalculation by the Iranians to attack Gulf countries has destroyed everything," he said, but insisted the answer now must be renewed negotiations.
He also pushed back against claims that Iran's strikes were aimed at military targets.
International airports, water utilities and gas infrastructure have all been in Tehran's crosshairs.
"Twenty-five percent of the attacks are targeting civilian facilities. What has this got to do with the war? What do they want to achieve?"
Over and over again, the prime minister returned to the global stakes - and that what happens in the Gulf won't stay in the Gulf. Qatar supplies roughly 20 percent of the world's gas and is one of the planet's largest fertiliser producers - meaning any sustained disruption would impact markets, food supplies and people worldwide.
Even as the Gulf states insist this is not their fight, however, they are an integral aspect of it.
And that, perhaps, is the central danger of this moment - a war that began between the United States, Israel and Iran is now dragging in countries that want no part of it, but increasingly find themselves on its front lines.

Absolutely based Russiagate libs making it impossible for Trump to continue doing his sham negotiations with Russia, in turn making it impossible for the Kremlin boomers to keep indulging them. Total Dmitriev death.

>>2728034>Wtf do they put in the water in Baltistan to make them say shit like this?They know that they are not just vassals, but their whole existence as a state depends on the US and nato.
How does a baltic politicians cope with the situation where your country is a microstate with third of the population are russian speakers and the whole country is culturally Russia-lite with some Germanic and finnic undertones. The only reason your country also exists on the goodwill and geopoliticial machinations of other superpower 20k km away done in the 1990s, but your usefulness is generally waning to them and is constantly in question. politically the country is owned by three American and one German banks, sealed by EU lockgrip so liberalism is the only way, so no promising any grand national project, better tomorrow or welfare to the people beyond what the free market can provide. National Chauvinism however is free and effective.
However even a small war would leave your country totally destroyed and probably irreversibly depopulated, but that superpower across the sea only needs you as a forward military base, but that military base is geographically too much forward for to actually deploy troops without risking immediate encirclement of Nato and US troops. They of course warmonger, make allies with neocons in Europe and US and manage escalation and the flow of gibs. Baltoids are literally never noticed beside when they do their little statements and do petty "gottem" moves on Russia and China to please the master who can maybe give them a job in Nato or EU bureaucracy once they retire from politics and finally find freedom from the half-Russian shithole they really secretly despised all along.
Le interimperialist conflict. Reminder.
>>2730446>just blow everything up American/Israel-style >just level every Ukrainian city to the groundwouldnt even stop drone production you retarded psycho
>>2730446Putin has heard your concerns and released a statement via Peskov.
Peskov: "A trilateral format is precisely what's needed. Everyone is interested in it. The main thing is that the Americans are ready to continue their mediation efforts. Putin highly values these mediation efforts. We are grateful for this and are interested in continuing this process. There are no specific dates yet for continuation, nor are there specific locations."
>>2730507It's a real quote. He said it some hours ago.
I used to criticize Xi for not fully committing to Russia wrt Ukraine. I was wrong. Xi knows that Putin and his Dmitriev-tier oligarchs jump with excitement at every sign of attention from America. Can't trust that.

https://xcancel.com/CRRJA5/status/2031397917852864934The US is backing off Russian sanctions because the Strait of Hormuz is closed. Russia won.
with the lifting of sanctions on russia and the movement of equipment from the ukranian front to israel, do you expect russia to resume it's advance?
>>2732382Spring mud, neither side is going to advance much for the next month.
>>2732382No. Putin doesn't want to overburden his esteemed western partners.
>>2732323this image is very funny considering Putin is probably the last leader alive who earnestly believes in international law (which is not a good thing)
sometimes I wish I lived in the same universe that nafo does
>>2732529problem is, international law was set up after WWII.
the ones now pushing to dismantle it, are the ones that considered none of that happened. that also hurts China, which doesn't want Japan to have a representation on the UNSC. and Germany, that would love to have a representation on the UNSC. well, Japan also would love to have a UNSC seat too. So, whatever the UN is a reflect of the influence of the US in helping states enemies of the USSR to then sabotage what's left of the UNSC.
So we will be moving towards a third attempt, again being a league of nations. Russia and China will be angry again, and another larger war will start. that time, for the end of the world.
>>2733347A country can't be relevant based on nukes alone. A a country that is small and weak in terms of traditional armed forces is not relevant and probably a security risk to all. Since if nukes give them the illusion fo strength they will try to push the envelope and they pretty much have to act like they might use them the need arises to them have any utility for them. Any diplomatic military or economic conflict they might get into they will very quickly run into a dilemma of either threatening nukes or cucking out. Irrelevant states with no strategic depth or staying power will be pretty quickly put into that position. Imagine giving Estonia nukes? St Petersburg and Tallinn both would be nuclear wasteland in an afternoon.
Countries like UK and maybe France, but especially UK should be removed from the security council and India put in it's place. Neither are really relevant or sovereign. IF EU were any less spastic and divided (and hopelessly fascist) maybe French seat should be given to EU to have some greater resemblance of balance of power. If the council is just expanded mindlessly then it just bogs down the already dysfunctional UN system with multiplying countries with veto rights. The whole SC and it's veto system really should be abolished or reworked for multipolar world.
Why nuclear bombs are so feared?
Isn't better to get nuked than some other shit they pull on you? Like wasn't better for syria to get 1 nuke than ISIS
>>2733572probably the decades of nuclear fallout
>>2733572How many Russian families have lost sons, how many have lost fathers, due to Putin cowering before bullshit international law and refusing to just nuke Lvov. Should a pest exterminator ignore the hives right outside and only focus on the invaders directly within the four oblasts? It fucking enrages me to think about.
>>2733347Israel shouldn’t have a seat because Israel doesn’t exist.
>>2733643Most fallout is gone in like 2 weeks. After 2 days you can usually leave the shelter and flee if the need acute and yo don't risk any long term harm. The worst moments are really the 15-20 minutes after the blast when the most radioactive fallout starts to rain down on the area. That's why Hiroshima and Nagasaki are fine places to live with no mega cancer rate or deformed babies.
it's different if the bomb is "salted" like with cobalt. That leaves fallout lasting decades and centuries. I'm not even sure if those exists.
>>2732012America should die already. Let it rot like a bloated corpse at sea.
>>2732425Tbh Russian-bro your people kind of deserve it. Half of Europe, a huge chunk of Central Asia, immense respect and allies across the entire world, and your leaders sold it all away for NATO promising to not expand eastwards. The USSR was the only civilization in world history that committed suicide while under no existential pressure, simply for handshakes and fake promises from their enemies. Zyuganov won against Yeltsin but was too much of a coward to launch a coup and to contest for power. A few thousand liberal retards killed and a bit of bloodshed would have preserved the USSR but when push came to shove no one wanted to get their hands dirty.
>>2733657Really nice to see justice for once.
>>2733804
Now make the same for USA and gulf Arabs
>>2733656There is no design complexity to a ‘salted’ bomb, you just place a layer of reactant over an existing bomb.
>>2733572If you have a committed insurgency like ISIS and your adversaries are committed to nuking you until they are pacified then it is not just one nuke but the eradication of your populace. Something similar happened in the Paraguayan war: their commander refused to surrender until he was killed and he conscripted every man in the nation, while the allied forces signed a treaty mandating that they continue fighting until the Paraguayan government was toppled. After Paraguay was routed they fell back to guerilla tactics and ultimately consumed ~90% of the male populace fighting a hopeless war.
If Israel and the US fought a country this way with nuclear arms they could depopulate it immediately.
>>2733729>The USSR was the only civilization in world history that committed suicide while under no existential pressureLul, what? What do you think nato was for?
>>2733815My guess is they are happy to live in the US and Europe while retaining rights to the oil, and as far as that is concerned the US is doing its utmost to restore the flow. They will be hung out to dry in the event that the US charges them a protection fee, but they would need to do this before the conflict resolves.
>>2733804
>I gave you oil
Russia, a notable oil importer
>>2733834It should be
>I gave you big booty latinas >>2733347>since they are the only countries legally allowed to possess nukes by international lawthe reason for that, for Japan and Germany, is that they were the losers of the WWII. Other countries that didn't participate were allowed up to some point.
>Give India, Pakistan, North Korea, and Israel a seat. This world isn't for the weak and lawcucks.that mentality led us to wwi and wwii. this time nukes won't leave a planet to live in.
Decap strikes are needed. Why oh lord WHY won't Russia do it??!!!
Just target the most elite Ukrainians, absolutely no one will cry for them. Ukrainians will welcome Russians with open arms if Russia does that.
Instead Russia targets power stations so civilians freeze to death.
How many Vietnams and Koreas and Afghanistans and now Irans do countries need to see to what an effective war actually is? You either go full WW2 style total war total destruction, or you only target the hated elites to encourage regime change.
Nothing in-between will work.
>>2734061>and now Iransdecap strikes didn't exactly work there
>>2733656You don't know what you're talking about
>>2734070time redeemed Putin's decision on not doing a decapitation strike.
>>2733928>the reason for that, for Japan and Germany, is that they were the losers of the WWII.Yes I know all that. China's seat was originally held by Taiwan until 1971
> Other countries that didn't participate were allowed up to some point.The NPT went into effect in 1970. Only countries that built nukes before 1968 are allowed to have nukes by the treaty.
>The treaty defines nuclear-weapon states as those that have built and tested a nuclear explosive device before 1967; these are the United States (1945), Russia (1949), the United Kingdom (1952), France (1960), and China (1964). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Treaty_on_the_Non-Proliferation_of_Nuclear_Weapons#IsraelIsrael would qualify probably but they don't want to admit they even have nukes.
>Countries like UK and maybe France, but especially UK should be removed from the security council and India put in it's place. Neither are really relevant or sovereign. IF EU were any less spastic and divided (and hopelessly fascist) maybe French seat should be given to EU to have some greater resemblance of balance of power. If the council is just expanded mindlessly then it just bogs down the already dysfunctional UN system with multiplying countries with veto rights. The whole SC and it's veto system really should be abolished or reworked for multipolar world.Perhaps. And speaking of Germany, the Germans and French were making overtures towards sharing the French nukes as EU nukes and funding the building of more Frog Nukes but it seems they've cucked and that's gone no where. I've been advocating for that for years.
https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/germany-france-create-nuclear-steering-group-new-deterrence-effort-2026-03-02/ Ukraine collapse status? Have borders moved even a kilometer in the last three months?
>>2734306Ukraine took back over 400sq km since January. Hence why this thread is so dead because the Putin defenders have no good news to report and are hoping Westoids don't notice the mounting defeats.
>>2734306what the fuck is a ukraine
>>2734544Its a historical country that was founded in Kiev in 859 by Viking traders.
>>2734550I'm pretty sure that was in Novgorod
>>2734306seems like russia is focused on reviving the spirit of alaska and convincing usa to mediate more rounds of negotiations
>>2734574did they call it ukraine?
>>2734544Artificial country created by lenin to thwart the return of great russian chauvinism in case the soviet union didn't work out, very smart guy
>>2734649I don't think that's true either
>>2734138>I've been advocating for that for years.why? its stupid, france is not gonna give up sovereignty on its nukes, and especially not for fucking latvia or the germans that fucked us all economically. EU cant have a shared seat because they would never amount to anything as they couldnt agree on shit except being america bitch.
>>2734509>Ukraine took back over 400sq km since Januarythe absolute cope, attacks in the grey zone is not territory taken back
>>2734685Macron has been hinting at it for years tbh, but I also agree it's stupid
>>2734685>why? its stupid, france is not gonna give up sovereignty on its nukes, and especially not for fucking latvia or the germans that fucked us all economically.Did you even read the article I linked?
>France and Germany announced plans on Monday to deepen cooperation on nuclear deterrence, marking a significant shift in European defence policy as the continent faces rising threats from Russia and instability linked to the Iran conflict.
>The countries will set up a high-level steering group to align strategy, according to a joint statement. Germany will join French nuclear exercises and inspections of strategic sites, while both aim to strengthen conventional and missile defence capabilities with other European partners.
>"In response to the evolving threat landscape," the statement read, France and Germany have agreed to pursue "closer cooperation in the field of deterrence."
>The initiative reflects Europe's push to reduce reliance on the U.S. nuclear umbrella, long central to regional security, after Russia's invasion of Ukraine exposed gaps in Europe's defences.
>The Paris‑Berlin partnership poses challenges for Germany, which is barred from developing nuclear weapons under the Two Plus Four Treaty and the Nuclear Non‑Proliferation Treaty. Public opinion remains divided on nuclear issues, complicating policy choices.
>Separately, French President Emmanuel Macron, speaking Monday at a submarine base in Brittany, announced plans to expand France's nuclear arsenal and involve European allies in exercises.
>Poland meanwhile said it is exploring advanced nuclear deterrence cooperation with France and other European partners. "We are arming up together with our friends so that our enemies will never dare to attack us," Prime Minister Donald Tusk said on X.
>On 2 March 2026, French President Emmanuel Macron announced he had ordered France to start producing more nuclear warheads, increasing France's nuclear arsenal for the first time since 1992. He announced a new strategy allowing the temporary deployment of France's nuclear-armed aircraft, the Dassault Rafale, to allies.[7][8]
< EU cant have a shared seat because they would never amount to anything as they couldnt agree on shit except being america bitch. The seat is another matter, but the Euro army and joint nuclear umbrella is exactly the only route to stop being America's bitch. France and Germany are too weak to stand on their own.
So France just started producing weapons again in conjunction with Germany and their other allies. It's going to cost a lot of money and take a lot of technical expertise to really bring up their military on power with the world powers which they can't do on their own. Would probably advantage both Germany and France both to no longer have US nukes stationed in Germany.
So Russia lost huh
did the front stop?
>>2735087Nah, it's going the opposite way now
>>2735025There will be another 2 day special operation to rectify this
>>2735025No, proletariat did. Russia is as strong as it ever was.
>>2735360I thought Russians were celebrating already having depleted the useless american air defense like 2 years ago. What gives?
so, Russia won, huh.
>>2734983yeah despite what you seem to think, the president cant simply hand over the nukes without any debate and theres 0 chance of shit like that passing through the assembly, and plenty of military industrial partnership attempts with germany have been tried and failed over the years despite that kind of empty declarations. The policy of defending europe with french nukes always was kinda ambiguous and will most likely stay that way, and it would only be unenforceable promises anyway.
>Euro army and joint nuclear umbrella is exactly the only route to stop being America's bitchno, it is the route of being america bitch and keep being another appendices of the US empire to handle russia for them, because if you knew anything about EU you'd know the only thing that keep it together is being the US lapdog and all that rearmament is a lot of buying US weapons and being hostile to russia
>France and Germany are too weak to stand on their own.france foreign politics was a thousand times more independent when they were less integrated with the EU. And germany is an occupied country with no independence whatsoever, just look how they reacted to the US blowing up their critical energy infrastructure
>which they can't do on their ownfrance managed advanced fighter jets, nuclear subs and ICBM nukes on its own before (and the joint advanced fighter project with germany recently failed with france deciding to go alone again btw)

>>2735560>>2735577That guy doesn't know Russian well, if at all. Not a Russian or Ukrainian. There are specific accepted transliterations and he doesn't abide by those.
Why are naziggers crying about international law after getting a war factory blown up? It's pathetic. Send in the army, start the war. Or have too many ziggers died already? Nazis can't fight.
>>2736419

I also read about an ukrainian banker in italy who was killed by his son recently
Europe is going to have a lot of trouble with millions of shell shocked ukrainians when the war ends one way or another and the gibs dry up

2 seprate murders?
Iran single-handedly fucked up the US and ziggers here find solace in some random ukrainian girl killing her grandmother. Long forgotten is ukrainian collaspe, the upcoming massive offensives and muh super fast missiles. now its the time of kneeling for Trump and dicksucking ukrainian fascists.
really makes you think how low ziggers have fallen…
>>2736419
We dont do that in Germany.
>>2737514no one is going to take the bait at the moment, come back once the iran happening is over
>>2737514Donbass voted against that. So, split Ukraine in half, and let either half to go their decided democratic way
So can someone explain to me why the anti-imperialist countries (Iran, Russia, China, Venezuela) aren't doing more to help each other?
Why do they wait till USA picks them off one by one?
>>2737532Why didn't USSR send heavy industries, oil, etc etc to Cuba?
>>2737532Because BRICS is a cope
>>2737530Perhaps you don't know this, but the "referendums" in the Donbas in 2014 were not legitimate in any way at all. See pic. If armed militants are kidnapping and beating "no" voters in a yes/no referendum, it's not a free or fair vote
Source for image:
https://archive.is/Uyjxa >>2737550these gloguys come here and try to convince us that most donbas and crimea peeps would vote to stay with the banderites in kiev and not go with russia if only the vote was 'free and fair'. and they wonder why we dismiss them.
>>2737539If the separatists never had any popular support, why did they only succeed in the regions with the strongets Russian idenitity? Did the FSB operatives not have enough fuel to drive to Lviv?
>>2737578>SucceedThey didn't succeed anywhere except for Crimea. 90% of them hopped across the border to go live in Russia instead and the remaining 10% was shelled to death by the Banderites. This is why when Russia invaded in 2022 there were no mass uprisings to aid them. Everyone pro-Russian already either fled to Russia or died.
>>2737532Because Russia and Venezuela are ultra corrupt mafia states where investing in them is basically pissing money into the wind and Iran is run by deeply incompetent theocratic clergy that polling from even Iranian sources has shown around 25%-40% of the country even barely support (with actual serious I like my Government estimated only around 15%)
China knows any money they invest into Venezuela or Russia, 80% of it will disappear and be totally unacounted for, likely similar numbers for Iran itself. This is why China instead of doing the typical IMF thing and spending hundreds of billions for it to all disappear into personal bank accounts of African political leadership who blow half of it on hookers in Dubai, China literally went into Africa itself with it's own workers and built the shit directly. China built entire cities like Addis Ababa meanwhile hundreds of billions of dollars since the 1990s and Western Investment in Africa has resulted in… a half built road and a bunch of projects where the groundwork was started then stalled immediately.
Russia is the most "serious" country of the lot and literally it's entire military modernization fell off the back of a truck onto VK airsoft stores (literally airsoft gear I bought from them back in the 2010s had Russian military production stamps lmao) and all the money invested into training went straight into officers dachas. Fucking NORTH KOREA have more modern, adaptable military structure and command than Russia. What even fucking happens when Putin dies? We see no real evidence of any plans of succession of power. Without the good will Putin built up in the 2000s, will people continue to be this forgiving of United Russia?
>>2737581Can you answer why only the most Russian regions were able to rebel? There are a lot of other regions that border Russia where the protests were crushed or barely took place. The regions where massacres of anti-Maidan protestors are also very Russian. Were the unarmed who were burned alive in Odessa FSB agents?
>>2737597Tbh I think if free and fair elections were held in Russia today the Communists would win. United Russia has literally nothing going for it.
>>2737627they are functionally the same party anyway
>>2737532Anti-imperialist?
How the fuck do Ukrainians still have the morale to fight this retarded war. How is there not mass protests and strikes yet?
>>2737664unprecedented givas/bribery and an elaborate enforcement system to squash any hint of dissent
>>2737664500 drones for every 1 soldier holding a trench. This is why there have been no mass rebellions after the vans bus the new conscripts to the front lines. They realize Russia's military is retarded and cannot achieve anything and they will be relatively safe.
>>2737528Why should we support anti-communists?
>>2737664It just goes to show that real spontaneous rebellion is exceptionally unlikely in a modern treat society, even a relatively poor one like Ukraine. Even with the periodic blackouts and the risk of busification, the average ukrainian has too much to lose to put their freedom or life on the line. It would take Russia somehow cutting off the internet, TV and creating significant food and commodity shortages
>>2737680Creating an economic blockade is nowadays impossible unless you are a tiny island and right next to the worlds biggest capitalist country (Cuba). And even then Cuba survived quite a long time mostly on aid. Its another reason why the US is resorting back to military means, economic sanctions have overall gotten much less effective as a weapon. The US and its allies cant stop North Korea getting its materials so why should we think Russia could impose an effective blockade when they dont even control their borders? As long supplies come from land unhindered from the neighbouring countries it will have little effect. They did also with striking border regions but still, there exist much more trucks and cars than there exist missiles which they could strike them with.
>>2737680bro what treats? the IMF raped the Ukrainian economy to death even before our Cuckmander in Chief invaded. ukraine didn't rebel simply because most of them don't want to fight for either side.
>>2737735most importantly, no popular communist organization. Organization is always key to resistance.
>>2737532they are its just reported as extremely; limited already happening by the west
>>2735633same root as salud/gesundheit ?
and wat abot Привет
>>2734509>Hence why this thread is so dead because the Putin defenders have no good news to report busy watching iran launch russian drones at israel
>>2734509I saw Zelensky post about how Kiev was attacked by missiles. How bad is it going right now because I'm not sure if this has been a consistent thing
>>2737534brics is not a military alliance.
>>2737532oh, but US media accused Russia of providing help with image and intelligence fathering against the US.
Iran specifically chose to allow only ships who paid the oil with RMBs, and Chinese satellite are available to Iranians.
never ask to the why muh Russia didn't do anything crowd why Russia gave Belarus nukes of all kinds.
>>2739316Why did he not give these to Iran?
>>2737550>>2737559Democracy means that people need to be able to vote how they want, although I do think that democratic choices should probably be constrained by international law.
>>2737578I'm not saying the pro-Russia separatists had no popular support - I don't know what the level of popular support would have been. The "referendums" clearly weren't an accurate reflection of popular support, for the reasons I stated.
>>2737595What you're saying has nothing to do with the fact that Russian-supported separatists ran "referendums" which clearly weren't legitimate.
>>2737627It's difficult to know who would win. Voters don't want to give their true opinions to pollsters when they believe they could be imprisoned for those opinions.
>>2737532>anti-imperialist>RussiaRussia has been waging an imperialist invasion of Ukraine for 4 years now.
>>2737664I guess there are a lot of Ukrainians who don't want to be subjugated by the imperialist regime in Moscow.
>>2737676You can support who you like, but any person who imposes imperialism must necessarily oppose Russia's imperialist invasion of Ukraine.
>>2739339>imposes imperialismWhoops, that should of course say "opposes imperialism".
>>2739318Do they need them?
>imperialism is when le war
>>2739339>Russia has been waging an imperialist invasion of Ukraine for 4 years now.Nope. Russia is defending its Oblasts of Donetsk, Lugansk, Zaporozhye, and Kherson from Ukrainian imperialism backed by NATO.
>>2739355Iran absolutely needs nukes and would benefiting mentally from them yes. That is the key part that has kept North Korea safe from imperialism in being bombed or invaded in the past decades. This should be very clear to you by now seeing all the regime changes and people being toppled that nuclear weapons are a great deterrents
>>2739364Would benefit immensely*
>>2739364You say that they need them. But Iran clearly doesn't think they need them considering the Nuclear fatwa.
>>2739367Yes, they need them if Iran had nukes the United States would not be able to do all these bombings nor could Israel do it to them for all these decades. Them being able to sustain themselves despite the nukes does not mean that they don't need them.
God, I wish the US could be as half of le bad Russia is in terms of imperialism.
Did a M1A2 abrams run over your taxi that transports wood? bad luck, no US citizenship for you, no access to US law, no access to US prosecution, and you'll never get US judges to prosecute the good democratic soldiers that ran over your Iraqi taxi.
Poor, poor, poor imperialized Ukrainians that fell under the legal jurisdiction of Russia, poor, poor, people.
>>2739367And this is also the same case for somebody like Gaddafi who would have benefited immensely from having nukes to protect himself. Same case for many other leaders. Denuclearization does not help you against imperialism
>>2739371They wanted to oppress their Russian-speaking population IN PEACE, but then Russia invaded
>>2739369>>2739371So why is it Russia's responsibility to convince Iran of this again?
>>2739375Can you link me to the comment where I said it is Russia's responsibility to convince them?
All ukraine wanted was to complete the Donbass Genocide, but Russia just had to do imperialism and save them :(
>>2739374I don't understand what you're comment is about in regards to what I posted
>>2739382>>2739383They'll just say that Russia was hitting their puppets to stoke fears and paranoia and to put the blame on squeeky clean Ukrainian Nazis who didn't do anything wrong\
Oh, and also, after those artillery strikes, OBVIOUSLY the local population wants to return into Ukaine's loving embrace, duh, and Russia represses them and doesn't let them have a self-determination :(
>>2739359Imperialism is when a country tries to take land from another country, or tries to subjugate that country. Russia is currently trying to do both of these things to Ukraine.
>>2739361Donetsk, Luhansk, Zaporizhzhia, and Kherson are Ukrainian oblasts, and Ukraine is trying to defend itself from Russia's imperialist invasion
>imperialism is when you take land, the more land you take, the more imperialism!
I guess the first nomads were
>le imperialists!
>>2739339>>2739406you have no idea what imperialism means for a marxist, hence why you're condemned to your retarded liberal interpretations of the world that always end up with your support for nato imperialism
>>2739406While I'm not pro-Ukraine for other reasons (Hate butthurt belt mentality, and despise Galician nationalism and their horseshit anti-communism), I agree in that the Lenin definition of Imperialism being the only form of Imperialism is basically horseshit. Finance Imperialism might be the latest STAGE of Imperialism, but it isn't the only form of Imperialism.
According to clowns here, ISIS, who were trying to establish an Islamic empire through mass ethnic cleansing and territorial expansion, wasn't Imperialist.
>>2739417Even by Lenin's definition, what Russia is doing is Imperialism. Ignoring the fact that Putin's mindset is to place himself among the Russian Imperial greats as his legacy, he is trying to keep Ukraine under Russian financial boot.
>>2739426>ISIS, who were trying to establish an Islamic empire through mass ethnic cleansing and territorial expansion, wasn't Imperialist.ISIS was not imperialist, correct. Read theory:
https://pmli.it/articoli/2015/20151015_scuderiletussupporttheislamicstate.html >>2739339>Democracy means that people need to be able to vote how they wantok, so get back to us when ukraine un-bans socialists and pro-russians.
ukraine voted for viktor yanukovich and the party of regions, and their votes were nullified by a gang of criminals who seized power illegally and then systematically banned anyone who opposed that.
ukraine elections since then are just a euromaidan circlejerk where you get to vote for which nato-worshipping banderist you hate the least, and even then they're lying to you (zelensky) and you get the same thing no matter how you vote. 2010 was the last democratic election ukraine had. the referendums in the russian areas since then were more democratic than anything ukraine has had since.
>>2739406They were given every opportunity to settle with Russia peacefully. When all other options fail, war is inevitable. The fault lies with Ukraine, not Russia.
>>2739411>>2739417>imperialism, state policy, practice, or advocacy of extending power and dominion, especially by direct territorial acquisition or by gaining political and economic control of other areashttps://www.britannica.com/topic/imperialismI hadn't even looked at that definition beforehand yet my definition is pretty much the same. Interesting.
>>2739426>Hate butthurt belt mentalityI don't think there's anything wrong with eastern European countries wanting to decide their own futures, within international law, and without Russian imperialism pressing down on them.
>>2739428Exactly
>>2739457>get back to us when ukraine un-bans socialists and pro-russiansI think different political positions should be free to exist in a democracy, and yes Ukraine's democracy is flawed (as are all democracies), but that doesn't justify Russia's imperialist invasion of Ukraine.
>ukraine voted for viktor yanukovich and the party of regionsIn 2010, yes. Then in 2014, Ukraine's parliament legally voted to remove Yanukovych from power. A new election was held, and Poroshenko won. It seems a Party of Regions candidate stood in 2014, but he only got 3% of the vote.
>the referendums in the russian areas since then were more democratic than anything ukraine has had sinceIf you can show that opposition supporters (Opposition Platform supporters) in 2019 were being kidnapped by armed militants, as was happening to opponents of unification with Russia in the Donbas "referendums" of 2014, please do.
>>2739459You're certainly not a leftist if you justify this imperial nonsense from the Kremlin
>>2739426The only goal of ISIS was defending Israel at all costs. They were not a real, independent political movement or state in any way.
>>2739550>Ukraine's parliament legally voted to remove Yanukovych from power.Nope. it was illegal at multiple levels. they did not have sufficient votes to remove (3/4 is required to remove a sitting pres, not just a majority) and they did not follow constitutional procedures of creating a committee to investigate the alleged crime(s) (there were no alleged crimes even given as the grounds for removal), and they did not have the supreme court review the investigation and allegations before the vote to remove, as required by the constitution.
The Euromaidanites had their brownshirts run him out of the country under threat of murder and then used his physical absence as a basis for the vote (which is not a constitutional basis) and then their vote did not get the 3/4ths required either.
It was an illegal and unconstitutional coup at every level. and every election since then has been a euromaidan circlejerk with opposition banned.

It would be nice to see Orban win again just because the Ukraine and EU/NATO want him to lose and they deserve to fail and seethe, but really Orban's opposition has never amounted to much of anything in terms of outcomes. At most it just delays some things for a while and then they go through later. Him winning or losing isn't really going to change anything about the war.

Fidesz p. much gerrymandered all the voting districts for itself and has collected all the favorable voters into a huge ass illegal database that it uses to mobilize them for the election.
In other words Orbán maxxed out what is still considered under capitalism a "corrupted" democracy, but the actual votes are still technically free and anonymous with an overseeing body of civilians that ensures the process is legitimate, it's just that to win against Fidesz, you have to overcome a shitton of obstacles, which is still possible if unlikely.
By the way the contesting party is led by and filled to the brim with ex-Fidesz apparatchiks plus a few failed lib/"socdem" politicians and "experts".
Whoever wins this election, the Hungarians lose. Just three decades ago EU papers wrote about a rising young star, Viktor Orbán, who will surely bring Hungary to the new post-socialist era. They are now doing the same to Péter Magyar, his opponent.
Fact remains that the fucking oil infrastructure of Hungary is tied to Russia and feefees can't overcome realsies. Same with Hungary's soviet tech nuclear energy plant - necessarily tied to Rosatom. And finally, perhaps more crucially, it was the "socdems" in power who opened up diplomatic and economic ties with China and brought in the first waves of investments, because Hungary is, and throught it's history always was, situated on the border between the East and West, which means that it is literally not in the interest of any ruling party to let Ukraine in the EU (among several other economic - mostly agricultural - reasons).
But ofc Brussels might try installing a puppet government, but those necessarily fail, because by doing their bidding they would necessarily have to hurt national interests, ultimately meaning the wellbeing of the Hungarian people.
So whenever I see either pro-Fidesz or anti-Fidesz posting here I just scratch my head. At BEST the EU could control a puppet gov for one electoral cycle, after which they'd be overcome by Fidesz. (This also happened before.)
The opposition leader staunchly denies being in the pocket of Ukraine but tactically positions himself for the moment as more pro-EU, in the sense of being more anti-corruption and pro-democracy (meaningless shit), while on economic and social issues sometimes being more pro-capitalist than Orbán. For example voices from his newly formed party called for rent controls which he shut down as being "communism", while Fidesz has always made sure to give little crumbs to the poor, elderly, and the gipsy minority, especially around election times.
By the way, if Magyar wins, regardless what geopolitical or economic decisions he makes, I expect his government to be an insane shitshow, because his party consists mostly of already failed talking heads and Fidesz-rejects like himself, meaning that it's a completely incompetent group of morons that were clobbered together in under a year with no political cohesion or discipline whatsoever, which is why, fucking hilariously, his party is even more centralized than Fidesz (what Magyar says, goes) and his plan to "take back the economy from Fidesz oligarchs" at best will be a swift ownership change to his selected oligarchs.
So, idk, just stop being either pro- or anti-Fidesz. It's pure hysteria on both sides and even the ""new"" guys win they will either try to change course and necessarily lose the next election, or they replace the evil oligarchs with the good oligarchs and nothing fundamental fucking changes.
>>2749950
>stop wanting words have meaning
Nope. His comparison fails exactly because minorities and nationalities aren't the same.
>>2749964"Blacks" in this case merely refers to the historically oppressed grouping of nationalities that were imported into America by slaveowners and who grew up detached from their native lands and native culture. If anything it's a more accurate descriptor than singling out ethnic ties since it doesn't matter whether they came from Ethiopia Nigeria Angola etc. since the US government groups them all in racial surveys under the meaningless term "African-American" anyways.
>>2749964A "minority" group is merely a broad amalgamation of nationalities. So if you can oppress a minority group you can oppress a nationality. This is you playing retarded word semantics since you don't have an actual argument in favor of "non-oppressive" ethnic relations and are content with quibbling over phrasing and words rather than formulating a coherent explanation for why the USSR's ethnic policymaking was actually good despite it being one of the main drivers for the USSR's dissolution.
>>2749970>why the USSR's ethnic policymaking was actually goodBecause it enabled ethnic minorities or nationalities to keep their unique language & culture and exist in their native environment within the USSR without getting oppressed and/or exploited, enjoying exactly the same rights as other more populous ethnicities inside the USSR. This was anti-imperialism in practice under AES and it worked beautifully as long as the USSR existed. Liberals can't comprehend this. Their "multiculturalism" is not anti-imperialist. It is in fact inherently suprematist in nature, creates ethnic conflicts to distract workers from class struggle. Materialistcally the goal is to get preferably young people to move from point A to point B in order to get the price of labour to a desired level at point B.
>the main drivers for the USSR's dissolutionThe USSR did not disintegrate over "nationalism", it eventually fell because a bunch of traitors and liberal retards cucked to western liberalism out of sheer stupidity. Nationalism wasn't a thing inside the Warszaw pact at all, it only spread after the fall of the Iron Curtain enabled westoids to pour their reactoid "nationalist" diaspora cucks in.
>>2750244>Nationalism wasn't a thing inside the Warszaw pact ok Poland was different, they're probably the most nationalist, anti-communist and reactionary nation in Europe today and had a significantly big pro-west liberal opposition (Solidarnosc) first, early in the 80s. Dunno why that is, perhaps it's related to religion as they are highly religious as well.

>The Iran we don't know: "Capitalism" against America and "Imperialism" hostile to Israel
Iran and America.
With the escalation of geopolitical tension between Israel and the United States on one side, and Iran on the other, a renewed analytical question resurfaces: How do we understand the positions and behaviors of the Iranian state in its surroundings? Is it a “resistance” party that disrupts Western “imperial” hegemony? Or is it an “authoritarian” regime with ideological aspirations that reproduces and deepens the crises of the Middle East?
However, this debate quickly falls into the trap of a misleading dichotomy that obscures the truth. We are forced to choose between two options: either adopting a Western narrative that justifies foreign intervention in the name of democracy, human rights, nuclear non-proliferation, or any other pretext, or slipping into a "camp-like" perspective that grants political regimes—regardless of their behavior—a clean bill of health simply for opposing the United States. Thus, we are left with a false choice: either to sanctify Iran absolutely as a state of resistance and defiance, or to condemn it absolutely as an "authoritarian" power, not only within Iran but also in its surrounding region. This dichotomy closes the door to understanding, and we evade confronting the true complexity of the conflict.
To break free from this reductionism, it is useful to employ the tools of critical political economy for a deeper understanding of the Iranian state in its engagement with internal and external affairs. This critical approach not only interprets state behavior through its external positioning but also deconstructs its socio-economic structure and the nature of the relations of production that govern its behavior, both domestically and internationally.
State capitalism in Iran
In Iran, the Revolutionary Guard and its charitable foundations (bonyads) play a pivotal role that extends beyond military or social functions; these entities operate as massive capital accumulation mechanisms. Through their dominance of key sectors such as energy, construction, telecommunications, and banking, these institutions form a kind of financial-military oligarchy that drives extensive wealth concentration operations.
"The Iranian revolution did not produce or offer a genuine alternative to economic capitalism; in fact, it presented a distorted version of it."
The Iranian Revolution did not produce or offer a genuine alternative to economic capitalism; rather, it presented a distorted version of it. Behind the image of Iran as a "resistance to imperialism" lies a classic model of "bureaucratic state capitalism," where exploitative capitalist relations are not abolished but rather integrated and centrally managed through state apparatuses. Iran shares this characteristic with many countries in the region and beyond. Therefore, what makes the Iranian case the focus of this analysis is not its absolute exceptionalism, but its central position in the current debate surrounding the discourse of resistance to imperialism, which necessitates a more urgent and fundamental examination.
However, invoking the concept of "bureaucratic state capitalism" does not mean reducing a highly complex historical event to a ready-made theoretical framework. The Iranian Revolution was one of the most complex revolutions of the twentieth century in terms of the multiplicity of its forces and the contradictions in its projects. Workers, merchants, intellectuals, Islamists, and leftists all participated, and it was possible—at a certain stage—that it could have gone in other directions. What later transpired—the liquidation of workers' councils and the restructuring by the clergy in Qom and then by military institutions like the Revolutionary Guard—was not a predetermined fate programmed by the logic of capitalist accumulation. Rather, it was the product of an open struggle within the revolution itself, which ended with the victory of a particular faction.
This economic structure explains the structural violence perpetrated by the new Iranian state against the labor movement since 1979. This began with the dismantling of the workers' councils (independent organizations established by workers to self-manage factories after the Shah's fall), followed by waves of executions and arrests targeting labor and leftist activists throughout the 1980s. This was not a mere incidental aspect of the political struggle, but rather a prerequisite for breaking the bargaining power of any entity outside the control of the new state. Even today, the regime relies on dismantling any independent union organization to ensure the continuation of policies of low wages and precarious employment, which explains why current protests are concentrated in hard-production sectors such as petrochemicals and steel.
"Heavy and extractive industries are concentrated in peripheral geographical areas such as Khuzestan, far from the political and financial center of Tehran."
The state also employs a policy of unequal development to impose a kind of "spatial isolation" on workers. Heavy and extractive industries are concentrated in peripheral geographical areas such as Khuzestan and Asaluyeh, far from the political and financial center of Tehran. This distribution does not merely reflect logistical or geographical necessities, but rather represents a "spatial engineering" aimed at managing crises and containing protests. When labor strikes erupt in these industrial peripheries, the security apparatus can contain them in the media and perhaps even suppress them before they spread to the capital and pose a direct political threat to the structure of power. Thus, the authorities utilize spatial constraints to contain the labor movement and prevent the formation of a unified front capable of linking economic exploitation in the peripheries to the power structure in the center.
Furthermore, economic exploitation in Iran does not operate in isolation from ethnic discrimination. The two are organically intertwined, and therefore any analysis of the dynamics of control that ignores the ethnic question and its material entanglement with economic factors will necessarily remain incomplete. Iran is a multi-ethnic state, and the practices of the central authority against the peripheries inevitably intersect with the ethnic question, as minorities claim to be deliberately marginalized and their rights disregarded by the authorities.
Ahvaz region in western Iran (Al Jazeera)
For example, natural resources, such as oil and gas in Khuzestan (Ahvaz), are exploited to fuel the political and financial center, while local communities are left to suffer from poverty, unemployment, and systematic exclusion. This economic marginalization is coupled with militarization and an excessive security grip, with regions like Sistan and Baluchestan and Kurdistan recording higher execution rates than other areas. It is therefore no coincidence that the slogan "Woman, Life, Freedom" (ژن، ژیان، ءازادی), which gained traction during the 2022 uprising following the murder of young Mahsa Amini, originated primarily in Kurdistan, nor that Baluchestan was the scene of some of the most violent clashes during the uprising. This illustrates the dual nature of repression in Iran: it is both economic and nationalist, making these regions perpetual reservoirs of rebellion against the state.
Socially, Iran suffers from a high level of economic inequality, clearly reflected in recent 2025 figures that reveal a severe concentration of wealth at the top of the social pyramid. Just 1% of Iranians control approximately 29% of the country's total wealth, while more than 30% of the population—over 31 million people—live below the absolute poverty line. This inequality is not accidental; it is the result of economic policies that cause chronic inflation while workers' wages remain far below the cost of a basic basket of goods.
"Only 1% of Iranians control about 29% of the country's total wealth, while more than 30% of the population, or over 31 million people, live below the absolute poverty line."
This economic polarization is also geographically evident, as the Gini coefficient, which measures income inequality, continues to rise, reflecting the marginalization of peripheral regions like Sistan and Baluchestan compared to the center in Tehran. These indicators collectively suggest that we are not facing a mere passing economic crisis, but rather a systematic mechanism that concentrates wealth in the hands of the elite at the expense of peripheral regions.
Women… and the environment too
Alongside ethnic marginalization, the issue of women emerges as a formative element in the structure of this political economy. From the perspective of "social reproduction" theory, laws concerning women in the Islamic Republic—including the mandatory hijab—transcend mere identity politics. In the Iranian context, they function as tools of biopolitics and the regulation of the public sphere. Legal and social control over women provides the most effective mechanism for social organization, ensuring the stability of the family as an economic unit that bears the burdens of caregiving abandoned by the state due to its increasing focus and involvement in the war economy.
Even this social "control" is not distributed equally; its impact varies significantly depending on a woman's geographical and national location. Women in Sistan and Baluchestan and Kurdistan face compounded pressure and restrictions that cannot be explained by analyses that treat "Iranian women" as a single, homogeneous category, as some liberal interpretations do. Thus, the fierce struggle over the status of women in Iran is, in reality, a material struggle for power, a daily stage on which the state displays its dominance over all segments of society.
On another level, the environmental crisis in Iran cannot be interpreted simply as a "climate imbalance," but rather as a direct consequence of a political economy based on the depletion of water and environmental resources to serve specific economic and military projects. This crisis is materially manifested in the drying up of historic rivers like the Zayandeh Rud in Isfahan and the disappearance of large parts of Lake Urmia. While the environmental dimension may seem, at first glance, unrelated to the power struggle, this devastation is the direct physical result of haphazard dam projects and the diversion of waterways to serve the steel and petrochemical industries, which are monopolized by networks linked to the Revolutionary Guard.
"The environmental crisis in Iran cannot be read as merely a climate imbalance, but is a direct result of a political economy based on the depletion of water resources and environmental destruction to serve specific economic and military projects."
This situation is exacerbated by the “militarization of infrastructure,” as major projects are assigned to companies linked to the Guard at the expense of engineering experts. The “Katvand” dam disaster is a glaring example of projects being passed with complete disregard for geological warnings, prioritizing security and profit logic. The construction of the dam led to an increase in the salinity of the Karun River, causing major environmental and agricultural problems.
We are therefore faced with a clear example of "accumulation through dispossession," where the water resources of the majority are seized to generate profits in service of political agendas. For this reason, environmental issues have become a primary driver of protests, as environmental policies drive farmers and agricultural workers to the streets after destroying their livelihoods, thus merging their immediate material demands with the broader political demands of the popular movement.
The result of all this is that, due to sanctions, privatization policies, and the expansion of the informal economy, the lower social classes have become more fragmented and vulnerable. Therefore, it is not surprising that the mass movements of recent years, such as the 2019 and 2022 uprisings, did not originate in large factories, although workers did participate. Rather, they were led by a new organic alliance comprising marginalized and unemployed youth from the peripheries, women, and broad segments of the middle class that have fallen below the poverty line.
While acknowledging the effectiveness of political economy tools in dismantling the Iranian power structure, we must be wary of a purely economic reductionism that truncates our understanding of the experience as a whole. Despite the centrality of capital accumulation and the economy, the regime's ideological project possesses its own independent driving force, sometimes resorting to decisions deemed economically "suicidal" to ensure its political and ideological survival. Furthermore, the excessive "control" policies against dissidents transcend mere economic engineering aimed at managing the workforce; they extend to a broader scope designed to assert the state's absolute sovereignty and monopoly on violence—a dimension that cannot be grasped by structural economic frameworks alone.
Iran as a sub-imperial power
It must be emphasized that criticizing the policies of the Iranian regime internally or externally does not necessitate adopting the American narrative. We must also point out that American sanctions have played - and still play - a major role in determining the economic options of the Iranian regime, and its orientation towards what is known as the "resistance economy," which requires a greater concentration of power and wealth in the hands of specific institutions and entities, with the side effects that this entails, including "potential corruption" and the marginalization of the periphery in favor of the center.
"
>>2752604Part 2 of this
US sanctions have played - and continue to play - a major role in determining the economic options of the Iranian regime, and its orientation towards what is known as the resistance economy."
Iran operates within a global system governed by center-periphery dynamics, where US economic sanctions do not play a role in promoting human rights, as is claimed. Rather, they constitute a form of economic warfare that reshapes the balance of power. Their actual impact is to crush the purchasing power of the middle class and destroy social safety nets, thus weakening society's capacity for organization and civil resistance. At the same time, the sanctions provide an ideal environment for elites and institutions to amass profits through the management of the shadow economy and smuggling networks.
Likewise, it is inaccurate to analyze Tehran's alliances with powers like Russia or China as purely anti-imperialist, as is commonly believed. In a multipolar world order, these alliances represent a geopolitical repositioning within the global capitalist competition for resources and strategic routes, and hardly any genuine project to transcend the logic of hegemony. For example, Russia's position to the left of the United States cannot be interpreted as a fight against "imperial" hegemony; rather, it practices it in other arenas. The same applies to China, which is vying with the United States for its place within the capitalist system itself.

In the Arab world, a critical analysis of the Iranian question requires dismantling the illusion of "campaigning" that dominates popular political interpretations. This discourse reduces global and regional contradictions to a mechanical dichotomy, assuming that any geopolitical clash with American "imperialism" automatically grants the opposing side a privileged position. Theoretically, this approach overlooks the nature of the contemporary global capitalist system as an integrated structure within which various forces operate according to the logic of capital accumulation and securing markets and spheres of influence, not with the aim of completely undermining the global order.
"Tehran's international alliances and anti-Washington rhetoric do not reflect a project that is anti-imperialist, but rather are closer to a pragmatic attempt to renegotiate each party's position within the global economic structure."
According to this understanding, Tehran's international alliances and anti-Washington rhetoric do not reflect a project opposed to "imperialism," but rather a "pragmatic attempt" to renegotiate each party's position within the global economic structure. Iran seeks a larger share and international recognition of its influence and rights (including its nuclear program), and to that end, it does not hesitate to mobilize its negotiating leverage and organize its allies in this endeavor, as it did for a long time in what was called the "axis of resistance."
The role played by Iran and its allies in confronting Israel – and the United States itself – especially during the last two years, and specifically after the Al-Aqsa flood in October 2023, cannot be denied. This position has strong religious and ideological roots, but at the same time their practices – which contradict this image – in many Middle Eastern countries during the last decade and a half, and specifically since the outbreak of the Syrian revolution in 2011, cannot be ignored.
This Iranian role can be described as "sub-imperialism," provided one is mindful of the limitations of this concept. The term emerged in the ideas of the Marxist thinker Roy Mauro Marini to analyze the case of Brazil, which he described as "sub-imperialism" within the global capitalist system, where the United States subjugates it at a broader level, but it exerts hegemony over weaker countries in Latin America.
Brazil practiced this "imperialism" by exporting surplus capital and exploiting its poorer neighbors, much like "classical imperialisms." Iran, under siege, does not export surplus capital in the strict sense, but rather exports its security crises through transnational networks that act as instruments of "asymmetric deterrence." The goal here is not to open markets, but to protect the center in Tehran, create a vast buffer zone, and amass leverage to compel the West to negotiate.
The political economy of the resistance discourse
Iran’s position on the Palestinian issue cannot be entirely separated from this broader context. While it is true that Tehran’s support for the Palestinian resistance stems—at least in part—from a genuine religious and ideological commitment, and that Tehran and many of its allies have paid a price for this commitment, it has also yielded political benefits. This support has provided moral cover for building networks of military and political influence in Iraq, Syria
Axis of Resistance (Al Jazeera)
However, reducing the relationship between Iran and the resistance movements to the "negotiating paper" alone presents an insurmountable analytical problem. Movements like Hamas and Islamic Jihad in Palestine possess independent political will, social bases, and a distinct struggle, and at crucial junctures, they have made decisions that completely contradicted the Iranian approach, as demonstrated by Hamas's distancing itself from Tehran in the Syrian context since 2012 before the relationship was later renewed.
In any case, the stark contradiction in this Iranian resistance rhetoric—between ideological commitment and political interests—is evident within Iran itself. Those suffering under austerity and inflation are well aware that funding for these regional networks is directly siphoned from social welfare budgets and their own surplus labor. Therefore, the calls to halt foreign spending do not necessarily reflect nationalist isolationism, but rather an awareness that rejects funding regional adventures that serve to consolidate regime control. These opponents believe that the logic of liberation is indivisible; security policies and inequality cannot be objectively justified under the banner of liberating Palestine or even "resisting imperialism."
"In Syria, the Iranian state, which speaks of opposing foreign hegemony, has provided a stark example of what regional hegemony means when it is practiced without restraint."
Perhaps the most striking example of this structural contradiction is Iran's intervention in Syria. There, the state that speaks of opposing foreign hegemony provided a stark illustration of what regional hegemony means when exercised unchecked. This intervention was not limited to employing sectarian rhetoric as a mobilization tool, but was based on a massive military and financial engineering effort that cost the Iranian treasury billions of dollars to ensure the survival of the Syrian regime.
On the ground, Tehran managed this intervention through demographic and military engineering, mobilizing tens of thousands of foreign fighters within transnational militias. These included factions such as the Afghan Fatemiyoun Brigade, the Pakistani Zainabiyoun Brigade, and Iraqi and Lebanese militias. These forces participated directly in a humanitarian tragedy that resulted in the deaths of more than half a million Syrians and the displacement of nearly half the country's population as internally displaced persons or refugees.
In parallel with this tragedy, the Revolutionary Guard's networks moved to transform the destruction into an economic opportunity, seizing land and property in their areas of influence and literally applying a model of "accumulation through expropriation" to the ruins of Syrian cities (before the Assad regime's departure). This material reality contradicts the utopian claims that portray Iran's role as pure resistance against "imperialism."
In rejection of the American-Israeli war
However, dismantling the Iranian state's economic and political structure—for analytical purposes—does not contradict its fundamental and principled opposition to any American or Israeli military aggression against it, nor does it negate the moral merits of its anti-Israel policies. On the contrary, this dual rejection should perhaps be explicitly acknowledged; horizontal and geopolitical conflict between states should not erase vertical conflict within a single state, and vice versa.
American imperialist wars do not build free (European) societies.
The logic here is simple and straightforward: "imperialist" wars, such as the current American-Israeli war, do not topple tyranny to build free societies; rather, they destroy the material base of society and dismantle the forces of production. Furthermore, the external military threat creates exceptional circumstances that provide the regime with the perfect pretext to demonize strikes and militarize the public sphere under the guise of a "state of emergency" and the necessity of "confronting the enemy."
Most importantly, neither Washington nor Tel Aviv has a liberation project for the peoples of the region. On the contrary, both—especially Israel—have their own imperialist projects that far surpass those attributed to Tehran, not to mention the fact that Israel is a settler-colonial entity established on occupied land, unlike Iran, which is an indigenous state. Therefore, opposing the Western-Israeli war machine is a matter of principle, stemming from the necessity of protecting the material conditions of life for Iranians, including the regime's opponents, particularly those from minority groups. Preventing war is the "zero step" that allows them to survive and then continue their political struggle without being completely crushed between the hammer of foreign military intervention and the anvil of the state.
The Iranian impasse cannot be resolved by choosing between regional and international hegemonic projects. Critical thinking compels us to look inward, not in search of a revolutionary utopia, but in recognition that the true actors responsible for managing the political struggle within Iran are the internal social forces directly harmed by the impoverishment policies driven by US sanctions. In other words, the tangible, material struggles in Iranian cities, factories, and streets are the primary drivers that will determine the country's trajectory, far removed from the illusions of change through foreign intervention.
"The Iranian state, like any modern political formation, operates according to a solid, rational logic aimed at preserving its existence and protecting its sovereignty in a highly hostile regional and international environment."
This position categorically rejects the slide into a narrative that demonizes Iran and portrays it as an irrational entity or a "rogue state" driven by pure evil. The Iranian state, like any modern political entity, operates according to a sound, rational logic aimed at preserving its existence and protecting its sovereignty in a highly hostile regional and international environment. Since the revolution, Iran has faced decades of suffocating sanctions, military encirclement, and persistent attempts to subjugate it to a "global imperialism" represented by the United States.
In response, the state managed to build a relatively independent industrial and technological base and established extensive social welfare networks in its early decades. Therefore, the regime's domestic behavior and its regional expansion abroad are not driven by a "futile" desire for destruction, but rather represent harsh defensive mechanisms of a state attempting to manage its economic crises and contradictions under a constant existential threat. However, this same state, in its quest to escape "global imperialism," has itself formed something akin to "regional imperialism," all while donning the mantle of "resistance" against a Zionist enemy whose hostility and enmity are universally acknowledged, in a war imposed upon it, not one it chose to wage.

>>2751303>American communists always held that blacks constitute a distinct "nation" in the US context Eh, it's complicated. In the 1930s/1940s the CPUSA did, but dropped that line in the 1950s. There's a Maoist-influenced communist group called the FRSO that still holds to that position though. They were using's Stalin text that a nation is "historically developed community of people, with a common language,
a common territory, and a common economic life, all of which are manifest in a common culture."
Emphasis on "common territory," as it sort of looked like that at the time, but Great Migration was going on. That was a historical event when millions of blacks living in the south moved to northern industrial cities to pick up factory jobs (they were getting proletarianized as they were dispersing throughout the country). This was accelerated by the two world wars. Most of the black population of northern cities like Chicago, Detroit, New York City, Baltimore (etc.) and also to California is descended from people who left the south in the first half of the 20th century. The black population in the south shrunk in relative terms, and by the 1950s there was the Civil Rights Movement which went on a different trajectory since the goals of that were really integrative.
Anyhow, the FRSO were 1960s/1970s radicals and their basis for them holding to the old position will reference Stalin but I think that's a reflection of dogmatism. There are black separatists in the U.S. as well but they are irrelevant politically and tend to lean more on cultural distinctions but that is essentially regressive and produces reactoid sects and cults (see Black Hammer).

The official welcoming ceremony of President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko and Chairman of State Affairs of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea Kim Jong-un took place in Pyongyang.
The venue for the colorful ceremony was Kim Il Sung Square, named after the founder of the DPRK and opened in 1954. This is the main square of the country and one of the symbols of Pyongyang. It can accommodate up to 100,000 people and is a venue for military parades, public holidays and other mass events.
The ceremonial meeting included the performance of the anthems of the two countries, which was accompanied by cannon volleys, and greetings from members of official delegations. Cavalry and a company of the honor guard were involved.
Then Alexander Lukashenko visited the Liberation Monument in Pyongyang. Kim Jong-un was present here with the Belarusian leader. The President of Belarus laid a wreath at the foot of the monument.
The Head of State paid tribute to the memory of the Soviet soldiers who died during the liberation of Korea from the Japanese invaders, and a minute of silence was declared. The anthems of Belarus and the DPRK were also performed here.
Alexander Lukashenko was given a short tour around the monument. "Liberation" is a monument dedicated to the soldiers of the Soviet Army who liberated Korea during the Second World War. It is a 30-meter tall statue topped with a red star. It was opened in August 1946 in Moranbong Park, a popular recreation area for local residents. There is a cemetery nearby where Soviet soldiers are buried.
