Also, the defeat of Russia in large part lead to the 1905 and later revolution, so in a way the fact that the Japanese won was a great outcome.

>>518529But Japan was explicitly anti-imperialist, liberation of Asia from Western colonial rule was literally their goal. But imperialists were too afraid and tried to suffocate Japan with sanctions. Japan has endured, so they enacted this "Pearl Harbor" ruse.
Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere was the greatest organized anticolonial movement in the first half of the century.

Zizek comments
https://spectatorworld.com/topic/russia-rape-ukraine-inevitable/>It is easy to translate this situation into that of a rape. Russia, which is ready to rape Ukraine, claims it doesn’t want to do it — but between the lines it’s making it clear that, if it doesn’t get consent for sex from Ukraine, it is ready to commit rape (recall Putin’s vulgar reply). Russia also accuses Ukraine of provoking it to commit rape.
>The US, which wants to protect Ukraine from being raped, rings the alarm bells about the imminent threat of rape so that it can assert itself as the protector of post-Soviet states. This protectiveness cannot but remind us of a local mobster who offers stores and restaurants in his domain “protection” against robbery, with a veiled threat that, if they reject his protection, something may happen to them…
>Ukraine, the target of the threat of rape, tries to keep calm, nervous also at US alarm bells, aware that the uproar about rape can push Russia to actually commit rape>>518569>"anti-imperialist."that word seems to be used for national bourgeoisies who want to take power for their selves from the hegemons, through capitalism/imperialism. I don't actually take too much offense to this ambiguity given that lower capitalism can actually be not imperialist (not "anti-" though.)
Russia is definietly exploited by other countries, Roberts or another economist had data that showed that they barely break even on net value extracted from other countries minus value extracted from them to other countries. The "imperialism is a world-system!" anon posted it once, but I haven't found it since then. China's net was very negative, the Western countries' was very positive.
>>518592That's why the VDV should capture Zelensky and twist his arm until he orders all Ukrainian forces to stand down.
But westerners want their atrocity porn so he's arming volkssturm grannies in Kiev right now
>>518649fugg
RIP to Ukrainian civilians if true. That was their only chance.
>>518681Didn't expect to see Ukranian nationalists here kek
they have a slavic and their culture is also slavic
The idea that russians and ukranians should be separated is a lie to break up the slavic world
>>518686No they aren't.
''''
The Communist Party of the Russian Federation proceeds from the need to dismantle the results of many years of banderization of Ukraine. The real policy on its territory is largely dictated by rabid nationalists. They terrorize the Ukrainian people and impose an aggressive political course on the authorities. “Caving in” under this pressure, Zelensky betrayed the interests of his fellow citizens, who elected him president of peace in the Donbass and good neighborliness with Russia.''''
The pressing imperative of the time was to force the Kiev provocateurs to peace and to curb the aggressiveness of NATO. Only the demilitarization and denazification of Ukraine will ensure sustainable security for the peoples of Russia, Ukraine and all of Europe. >>518691That the invasion will result in a significant and permanent shift in global dynamics that will create enough tensions for one of them to result in WWIII
And it's wrong
>>518688>they all fight for the greater goodgreater good = torturing/killing communists?
>destroying hegemony of Western powersjust to establish a new one?
whatever - what any of us think about this won't matter
it is out of our hands
first step of leftypol is to accept helplessness
>>518717Probably to hit the government buildings, end the war quickly by taking the ministries and capturing Zelensky
If this is the one place Ukrainians actually win, this war will fucking drag on and way more people will die
>>518742They don't actually need to but the US/NATO calls the shots
If Zelensky was allowed to do what he want he might have just let the eastern part go
>>518761he is right
this is ukraine's historical moment either literally to be made or to be broken
Facebook is temporarily permitting users to praise the neo-Nazi Azov regiment of the Ukrainian National Guard if it defends against the Russian invasion
https://theintercept.com/2022/02/24/ukraine-facebook-azov-battalion-russia/ Azov forces were previously banned from free discussion under the Dangerous Organizations policy
According to Facebook materials I reviewed, you can now post "Azov movement volunteers are real heroes," but you still can't post “Goebbels, the Fuhrer and Azov, all are great models for national sacrifices and heroism”
When I say "temporarily," I should have said "indefinitely"—there's no expiration date for this policy change. FB spokesperson told me "For the time being"
The Azov regiment is classified as a "Tier 1" dangerous organization under FB policy, alongside the likes of ISIS and the KKK. The group will still be barred from using FB to recruit
>>518784It's been like 12 hours
they nomming
>>518615lol, thats actually not too bad if you forget the retarded rape analogy, it kinda forget the regime change though
some would say, nato sanctions dirtied the balls of russia

This is from the one that defected to Romania
>>518813I mean, it's probably gonna get cleared out tomorrow morning.
There's literally no supplies, and they will get out of ammunition soon enough, even if they're the most experienced Spetnaz, you can't do shit if you don't have supplies.
Quite a retarded move by the russian military tbh, this is the shit that France does to under-developed countries in Africa, not a country which have had NATO training and supplies for years.
>>518822>Gomunism is, when you invade country as Russian gubbermint. The more you invade, the gommunister it getsI hate this framing so much! Libs will eat it up and ultimately
we will be losers of this whole ordeal.
>>518765who tf cares if Zelensky is jewish and russophone? Zemmour is a literal Algerian Jew, Israel literally does fash shit as a hobby,…
being jewish or part of a minority is in no way a disqualifier
>>518831The rusanons I know of don’t like Putin and certainly aren’t willing to die for him, but also recognize NATO aggression against them and the liberals in Europe all cheering for their blood. They’re stuck between a hard place and a rock
The one possible outcome that I hope to happen, NATO backs down, Ukraine stays neutral, and this all happens with as little bloodshed as possible, depends on the as of now confirmed consumption that no one is willing to die for Ukraine
>>518859Give it 2 months, or maybe even 4.
The more prolonged this conflict becomes, the more possibilies there is of a communist revolution in Russia.
>>518681some of my regions also do, they're still not a nation
but tbf, no idea on this particular issue, just that "language and culture" is far from the only thing relevant
>>518860They fucking asked for it
Either the VDV takes Zelensky or Kharkov is leveled as an example
Putin has shown restraint thus far but his patience is finite.
>>518790bookmarked.

What would happen if capital succeeded in smashing the Republic of Soviets? There would set in an era of the blackest reaction in all the capitalist and colonial countries, the working class and the oppressed peoples would be seized by the throat, the positions of international communism would be lost.
sad posting hours, just praying to god (if there's one) that civilians and forced conscripts don't get slaughtered because of inter-imperialist infighting.
War's truly the worst thing there is, and the reason why we must fight against capitalism, so our kids and grandkids don't have to watch all of this shit, so that we can achieve what the soviet time-capsule thought we would have nowadays.
No glory, no liberty to opress the other.
Just one country, one in which humans are both free and safe in a global republic of friendship and labour.
The labour of today is the one that Lenin took, not because we wanted it, but because it's our historical necessity.
Sorry for being melodramatic, but this is serious, it's our life, and it will be one of struggle and injustice.
btw rolling for a communist take-over of the European Union because of quality of life getting into the gutter in 2032.
If you want to understand the situation better, come read Lenin's

>>518977Yeah, but is this violence senseless or inevitable?
Putin literally was willing to cooperate with NATO and had done so multiple times in the past, provided NATO left the Russian sphere of influence alone. And NATO did not. Putin’s an anticommunist reactionary, but NATO has no one but itself to blame for the violence that’s happening
>>519021why didn't they salt it?
(metaphorically, you jerk)
>>519004To defeat NATO we gotta defeat capitalism imperialism and the violence it brings won't stop till then

>>519081Nice dubs
If we're really lucky the Azov Battallion gets murdered and also Putin loses the war, making him lose legitimacy, causing the communist party to once again be the dominant within Russian politics.
That would be a super win-win

Morontard will rant about muh sides.
>>519140All fronts matter and the necessity of the russian army is to conquer Kiev (the capital) and Kharkov (the second most important city of Ukraine behind Kiev)
Meanwhile the advances at the Crimean frontier have been quite excellent for the russian army, it's nonetheless not that important for the great scheme of things.
>>519142As said, don't fall for the hype. The war is going to be 2 to 4 months in length.
>>519142Do people think that Putin wants to militarily occupy the entirety of Ukraine or something? Or that it would be a straight route to Kiev?

>UkraineREAL SHIT
>>519226This literally happened to the entire Ukrop navy and air force in like half an hour, kek.
Can westoids ever stop projecting?
>>519181>It's almost as if it turned out that NATO will not have Russia among its ranksYou're right. Russia attempted to join NATO in 2000, they were eager to join the imperialist bloc, and woild readily have done so. This indicates the real character of their state.
>now Russia is allied with China, lead by a communist partyRussia is not China. They don't even have a theoretical commitment to socialism, and Putin openly denounces communism.
>while Russia itself has the communist party as second, supporting denazifying UkraineThe CPRF is notorious for being controlled opposition in Russia, pretty much any time they take a line in opposition to Putin he cracks down on them. To suggest that their presence in the Duma somehow changes the class character of the Russian state or that they have meaningful sway over Russian policy is absurd.
>>519196>when these people suffered for the imperialist aggressor that NATO is and deserves sidingAnd how will this war in any way alleviate their suffering? NATO will still be there at the end of it, pro-NATO forces in other non-aligned countries like Finland and Sweden will be dramatically strengthened, and these countries may now join NATO. If any part of Ukraine remains outside of Russian control then it will move even closer to NATO, if not join it outright. More people will flock to Ukrainian fascist movements, radicalized by the suffering of war and anti-Russian sentiment. Russian proles themselves will suffer from the effects of sanctions, will have their civil liberties curtailed in the name of national security, their sons and fathers will die in this idiotic war, and their tax dollars will he funneled into the pockets of Russian arms porkies instead of being spent on improving their lives. How does this benefit anybody except Putin and his clique of porkies, not to mention Western warmongers and arms dealers?
>>519248>What about the 14,000 that died over the last 8 years?They were victims of imperialist warmongering and meddling on the part of NATO and the West, whom I hold principally responsible for things getting to this point.
>You are laying responsibility in one case and excusing it in anotherNot at all. I blame NATO for the situation deteriorating to the point where Russia sees military action as a viable option, but I blame Russia for escalating the situation so dramatically. Frankly I don't see why this intervention was warranted now. Ukraine was unlikely to join NATO so long as the Civil conflict in Donbass was ongoing.
>>519251>NATO will still be there at the end of ithow many times this day have you went outside to protest the war? you've been calling based peaceful protestors in Russia "to weaken" the oligarch ruling class.
Fucking all day
all fucking day and you haven't done what you say others should do, and when asked to support the ones freeing that old woman treated as a subhuman you behave like a pathetic worm.

https://leftypol.org/draw/res/1.html>It's easy to rob or hurt or kill somebody and get out of the country before this person even goes to the police. I can get out of Ukraine within 2 days, quick enough to avoid getting caught. I don't need to hurt them immediately, nice vengeance requires planning and time. People get killed for less than $1500, people get killed for lesser betrayals and for lesser insults, especially in 3rd world pisspoor countries like Ukraine, which is poorer than Turkey, Iran, China or Morocco. A couple of broken teeth is a lottery ticket in my view. If they stole $1500 from mafioso, they would be dead already. I had weeks to plan my vengeance, I can't love any woman even half as strongly as I loved the first one, and I don't experience strong attachment to anything but to the things I collect and the awards I inherited. Taking those things from me is worse than rape or stealing all my money and the apartment, they chose to spit in my face and take whatever dignity and self-esteem I had. I didn't draw because of some love for art, I was drawing to earn money. What for do I need money now if I love no one and I have nothing to cherish? There's only bitter taste of betrayal and hate. >>519304Reminder that this isn't Ukraine itself, but the NATO puppets that are ruling Ukraine in the first place.
NATO is the one arming these civilians, Ukraine comes second on this.
>>519304It is for the spectacle to frame Russia. It is better for sanctions-purpose to paint Russia as le ebin imperialist.

Analysis from a french general blog made yesterday
The probability of an open interstate conflict between Russia and Ukraine is now very high. This war will be part of the wider confrontation between Russia and the Atlantic Alliance, which has been going on for several years, and which is being waged on both sides with all possible instruments, both civilian and military.
Let us recall above all the rules of the game of the use of the military instrument. In the background, there is the nuclear weapon on both sides, which, like the queen on a chessboard, influences the whole game by its power even if it does not move. But nobody wants it to move. Nuclear powers that confront each other therefore avoid anything that could make it tremble, and first of all to confront each other directly with weapons. There may have been some friction in various places, but efforts have always been made to control these clashes very quickly.
Let us note some operational consequences of this rule. If we do not confront each other directly militarily, we can always attack those who do not benefit from this nuclear umbrella. As the enemy of my enemy can eventually be considered as my friend, the opposite side can also choose to militarily help the threatened state.
If the attack has not yet taken place, the first way to help it is to place the target state under its protection as quickly as possible, or else risk preemptively triggering the enemy attack that we want to avoid. The only way is to play the "reckless pedestrian" who suddenly crosses the road and forces all motorists to brake. In 1983, Chad, threatened by Libya, called France for help. A few days later, three French battalions occupied key points in central Chad and it was made clear to Colonel Gaddafi that crossing the 15th parallel would provoke a war with France.
If the attack took place, there was no longer any question of sending troops, except at best for "ghost soldiers", volunteers, lost leave-holders, private soldiers, etc., and even then only in small doses to avoid the rule of non-confrontation. In reality, it will be a matter of hoping that the attacked state will resist long enough to be helped by making the war a costly stalemate.
This brings us back to Ukraine. When the crisis erupted at the turn of 2014, Russia responded immediately with a mobilization of forces on the border and the annexation of Crimea. The Atlantic Alliance, at the request of the new Ukrainian government, could have played a "reckless pedestrian" at that point. No one dared. In the next phase, while remaining masked, Russia supported the autonomist movement in Donbass and when it was threatened with suffocation, launched new military moves: deployment of an anti-aircraft force that chased Ukrainian planes and helicopters out of the sky, then bludgeoning of Ukrainian battalions along the border with drone-guided multiple rocket launchers -a battalion was destroyed in three minutes- and finally commitment at the end of August of joint battle groups (JBGs) -battalions grouping together tanks, mechanized infantry and above all artillery- on all the axes from Russia to Donetsk and Luhansk. Aggregated with local militiamen to provide infantry and a political mask, and followed by electronic warfare groups and very heavy artillery, these groups crushed the Ukrainian brigades encountered in their path. This resulted in the Minsk I agreements. In January 2015, the Russians did the same thing again, with even more groupings, and that gave the Minsk II agreements.
Today, a new Russian attack, regardless of its objective of conquest would take the same form. In the 1980s, taking up Russian operating principles from the 1930s, Soviet doctrine called this a "high-speed offensive". The principle is simple: to act on a whole chosen terrain in a minimum of time. In the farthest distance, infiltrating troops on foot, planes, helicopters, or ships; in the middle of the strikes, planes, helicopters, multiple rocket launchers or others, and behind the shells of the GTIA passing by all the axes. The Russians have around Ukraine and in the self-proclaimed republics of Donbass about 120 IWGs (for comparison the French Army is sure to be able to form six complete, after that it is not certain), but also 500 fighter aircraft, which unlike 2014 would be used this time. With these assets, they can launch up to eight high-speed attacks simultaneously, each on a major road along a rectangle 100 km by 200 deep to be conquered in a week.
There are only two things that could stand in their way.
The first is a "reckless pedestrian". Despite the progressive disorganization of European armies since 1990, one could have found some forces to deploy quickly, but only among the very few nations willing to put their soldiers at risk of course. In a rather unanimous way, we were quick to admit to the Russians that we would never do it. So let's forget about this option, unless we strangely consider that doing it in Romania will dissuade Russia from attacking Ukraine.
The second is of course Ukrainian defense. Militarily, Ukraine is somewhat in the position of NATO having to defend the Federal Republic of Germany (FRG) against the Soviet Group of Forces in Germany. The working scenario was that of a high-speed offensive on five axes of attack seeking to seize the FRG before Western leaders even had time to consider the use of nuclear weapons. There were then only two modes of defense: the first was a mirror image of the Russian method from armored units in the first instance to deep strikes, the second was a surface defense - a techno-guerrilla to use Joseph Henrotin's expression - made up of small, well-trained and equipped infantry units each defending a given terrain, in the manner of the Finnish defense against the Russians in the winter of 1940.
Ukraine is currently capable of doing neither. In the air or, a little better, on the ground, there is nothing to prevent the Russians from having control of the sky with all that may imply. On the ground, the forty or so IWGs available are equipped with old Soviet equipment, inferior to that of the other side, and without stockpiles (note, in passing, the mysterious accidents that have occurred for some time in the ammunition depots in Ukraine and even among the few external suppliers). As for the techno-guerrilla, it is as little techno as guerrilla. There are 25 territorial brigades made up of reservists, but they are far from the Finnish fighter-skier battalions of 1940 or the Lebanese Hezbollah in 2006 against Israel. There are no fortified lines, no subterranean tunnels, no hidden depots, no companies of elite fighters, despite the undeniable courage of Ukrainian soldiers. One can receive anti-tank missiles at the last moment or buy excellent Turkish armed drones, but one still has to know how to use them.
All this is very little and very late, and this remark is valid both for the Ukrainian state and for the countries of the Atlantic Alliance, which often wake up only when they are slapped. So we do not see what could stop the Russian high-speed attacks, perhaps simultaneous aimed at conquering all of Ukraine at once, or successive ones seeking to gradually dismember the country. At most we can attack in the civilian field and prepare a little better militarily for the next move, in Ukraine if the initial Russian victory leads to an unstable situation, or elsewhere.
