>На видео наглядная демонстрация того, как с помощью нехитрых способов можно превратить свою технику 🇺🇦 в технику своего оппонента 🇷🇺. Так что, буковка "Z" на технике еще не говорит о том, что техника ВС РФ- необходимо смотреть на детали. Например, здесь есть 2 явных признака фальсификации:>- Модификация КРАЗа, применяемого в основном ВСУ.>- Номера (ГРЗ), которые имеют явный формат, применяемый для военных транспортных средств ВСУ.
>How "victories" are forged. Good to read and understand.The video is a clear demonstration of how, using simple methods, you can turn your technique 🇺🇦 into your opponent's technique 🇷🇺. So, the letter "Z" on the equipment does not yet mean that the equipment of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation - you need to look at the details. For example, there are 2 clear signs of falsification here:
- Modification of KRAZ, used mainly by the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
- Numbers (GRZ), which have an explicit format used for military vehicles of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

1) Russia wins. NATO suffers defeat. Second Cold War ensues. History is back on track.
2) NATO wins. Russia is crushed and brought to knees. China, being isolated, follows suit and with it DPRK and Cuba.
We're back to 1991 or worse.
As of now,
THERE'S NO FEASIBLE THIRD OPTION Stating otherwise is behaving like thots writing "Manifesting" on Twitter.

>Russia wins a limited war and then fucking dies due to sanctions>Russia looses and fucking dies even faster because not only has Putin just unleashed Perestroika 2.0 levels of economic chaos, but also lost all legitimacy as the big strong leaderWhatever happens, China doesn't give a shit and continues outpacing US.

>>555263Enumerate revolutions worldwide from 1991, i dare you massive faggot.
>>555270It's just edgy teens who are either shitposting or hate their lives.
So far Putin has just done "counter sanctions"
I'm beginning to think this is a money war. I hope I'm right.
Northeastern pocket is closed, Mariupol is closed, Eastern Ukrainian pocket likely closed tomorrow at some point, the northern and southern wings are only about 100km away from each other. If that's successfully done Ukraine won't have the manpower/equipment to stop a crossing of the Dnieper
Despite some weird tactical blunders, which are probably due to highly restricted ROE(next to no air support, very limited fire support) the Russian rate of advance has been insane. Russian losses have been high, but then again, the Ukrainian Army was very much totally rebuilt over the last 8 years and isn't a pushover. For comparison it took the US a month to take Iraq in 03, and a couple weeks for the major cities. The cities the Russians are cutting off are magnitudes larger and the terrain and distances are far greater.
The really weird aspect is that the Russians aren't using their frontline units for some reason. The only modern equipment we're seeing a lot of is Tigrs(russian humvee equivalent). Everything else is second echelon equipment, no modern air units, no modern cruise missiles, highly limited artillery use.
>>555279Naive.
Systematically underestimating how the ruling class is vile anon.
I say this as an estimator of other things you wrote earlier on leftypol.
>>555274Nah, i was trying to appeal to the both siders. Fuck the nazi infested Ukraine government. Fuck zelensky, nazi enabler, as good as a nazi.
Like Bandera, their hands are drenched with the blood of the innocents. Enabled by NATO.
May Putin purge every last nazi.
>>555279>there isn't a cabal of NATO imperialistsThere very clearly is.
>I guarantee most of the people in charge of these nations are legitimatelly pissing their pants about how dangerous the situation is for everyones well-being, not thinking "Hmm, need to protect NATO outpost".They're thinking both. Fearing Putin's recklessness is not mutually exclusive with wanting to maintain Transatlantic Empire, on the contrary Russia's recent activity only justifies its existence in the minds of the West.
>>555279Yeah we get it tankies are bad and we have to appose them!!!!!!
>>555297kek. The normalfags are wiser than pro-nato leftiods.
>>554912HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAGAHAHA
great job
>>555254Putin winning indirectly advances our own objectives, just like Germany not collapsing in the eastern front to the tsarist army advanced Lenin interests.
Is that so difficult to grasp?
>>555271>>555272>>555303>>555306Anwser my question, coomers!!
I did the same question without the qt in the other thread and got ignored. kek>>555281Do you think they would do a "decommunization" like they did in Ukraine? Illegalize communist parties and such?
>>555243dirigsme economics in general arent genocidal fuck over anyone else like fascism does
unless you count its explotation of the third world but neoliberalism does the same thing so eh
also we dont know if a return to dirigsme economics would break down again since the system behind the dirigsme were liberal democratic states or states that justified this economics by saying its temporary
in russia and maybe chinas system of dirigsme the state is not at all a liberal democracy, no where in the us spehere, and especially in the case of china dirigsme economics are not seen as temporary but as a long term permanant thing, as the superior economic system to beat the cold war west
>>555210> Yeah, Ukrainians in general shouldn't die in this pointless war, even Russians shouldn't. If there are people who should die horribly, are Westerners.Ok, but the war already started
We are no longer at a stage where we are discussing whether there should be a war
we are discussing is what the results and consequences with the ongoing war
>>555332Says the succdem that posted an article saying that leftists should support NATO
Just get out, you should be happier on reddit anyway.
>>555313I'm only doing it in comparison to a "western" campaign, but then again we don't have anything comparable. The closest would be Desert Storm/03, but in both of those the Iraqi forces were a joke and basically only existed on paper
mission kills of vehicles are about 100-150
manpower loses are probably 300-400 range so far
>>555338Class war requires a vanguard ready to take power and turn the guns around on Porky.
Not happening anytime soon in Russia, unthinkable in the West.
We're gonna deal with reality and not wishes.
>>555333Of course, but they cranked up the aggression to the max.
>>555324Although in the case of reddit it's advantages as a depot for social control is much more powerful than image boards, it's upboat system and modfaggotry (Who all share the same mods and the fact that the CEO of reddit is a literal fed) means that it's basically a glow zone and constantly bombarding image boards is a pain in the ass. There is little to no real damage to people who resist the astroturf either so reddit is generally stronger and likely what every other website envies on that front.
>>555325It helps that they started to post gore porn when it was clear that Ukraine isn't going to really win.
>>555247https://foreignpolicy.com/2022/02/18/us-russia-china-war-nato-quadrilateral-security-dialogue/They have already planned to go to war, they will do it, regardless you can see it or not. If Russia falls China's next.
To be "grilled" and say incoherent things…

>>555287>Russian losses have been highsource ?
>>555313>At least 10 times lower than Ukrop onessource ?
has anybody seen sources ?
>>555316>pro-Russian consensus no such thing. But we recognize the west is at fault for the crisis and hypocritical in its denunciation. And many people here are just anti NATO before anything
putin is still a bitch and some retards just cant handle nuance
>>555360trust me bro
t. knower
>>555348It was clear that a russian win in the eastern front was bad news for Lenin, he never went as far as supporting the Kaiser but he certainly used the fact that germany was winning to further his own interests.
We should do the same, the worst thing that could happen is a NATO victory, so we should support the opposite of that, a Russian victory.
>>555357China alone is an easy target to fight.
Its the two front logic that is straining Us Empire,otherwise they're still superior to China, vastly so if including allies.
>>555363That split second would be a split second more than what we got for the last 30 years.
Lenin already did it once this way.
>>555315>"No war class war" is NATO shilling for these putinistsCan you explain the practical differences between wanting Russia to retreat and wanting NATO to own Ukraine?
Surely bourgeois war was just as bad when NATO was pumping Ukraine full of weapons and ramping up warmongering propaganda in preparation for their own abandonment of Minsk2. As well as the 8 years of shelling the Donbass republics.
No? Only need to stop war now that NATO is on the losing side? ok.
>>555276cont.
This is why I push the "both sides [Russia - Nato] are bad" line, my dear followers!
Please like, subscribe, and lick my boots!
>>555304Are you aware of the crimes of the Ukrainian government? Are you aware of the provocations NATO did to incite the invasion? It's hard to blame Russia when Russia has been trying for peace and stability for 8 straight years while the Ukrainian government commited crimes against humanity. Where was your bleeding heart during those 8 years???
Above all, THERE IS NO WORKING CLASS FOR ITSELF. Neither in Russia nor Ukraine (except maybe Lugansk and Donesk). So supporting the working class or whatever bullshit you conjure is pure idealistic garbage (not idealist, idealistic).
It's literally "thoughts and prayers" tier. You don't give a fuck about the affected. You only want everyone to hold hands and sing kumbaya. Unfortunately the real world is nothing like your liberal fantasy world and shit fucking sucks and is complicated as hell. There is no working class to sing kumbaya for itself.
Exit your fantasy world and enter reality.
>>555372>but one of these sides represents the better outcome and one of them represents the worse, however it may beI agree, and I've said multiple times that barring a collapse of the Russian state which favours the Russian communists, a Russian victory in Ukraine is the best possible outcome. However I don't think that this requires us to approve of the invasion per say, and certainly not to voice such approval in public.
>>555373>he never went as far as supporting the Kaiser but he certainly used the fact that germany was winning to further his own interestsYes, because Lenin understood the distinction between tactics and strategy. He would denounce the Kaiser and lend every possible effort to the cause of revolutionary defeatism in both Germany and Russia, and he would do so while taking the Kaiser's money and train rides.
>>555383I don't at all disagree, my hope is that when shit hits the fan the Russian commies kick him out and replace him with a Lenin. Mensheviks once dominated the Russian socialist movement.
(this doesn't mean rooting for NATO though, the right move is to stoke antiwar sentiment on both sides)
>>555361people in general are poorly trained for nuance. ultimately, one instinctively wants either russia or ukraine to 'win', or perhaps russia or NATO to win, depending on one's framing of the question.
one can come up with all sorts of reasons and rationales for picking a side, but ultimately the only way to not have one is to not care at all, or perhaps to want everyone to lose.
>>555389tbh i'm constantly disappointed by the ratio of webms of shit exploding and maps that slowly get redder to wordy self-justification, doomerism, and militaristic wank-fantasy.
>>804000this would be a very interesting explanation if true.

>>555070>Putin bootlickers seethingWow, I didn't expect such a sperg out. I get that people a furious at the Ukrop government for all of its new crimes since the war started, but remember this is not the USSR "liberating" Cuckraine. How many times does it need to be proven that Putin is bourgeios scum like the rest?
>Obsessing over Trosky out of nowhereLOL rentfree
>>555412How did you get that from what I wrote? Americans dont get to have an opinon. They don't get to protest about anything. Their failure to build an anti-imperialist left, let alone a communist left, is what led to the genocide of the international working class. Their failure is directly responsible for this conflict too.
If you're american, shut the fuck up and apologize to Russians and Ukranians.
>>555399they arent nuanced opinions and reasonable arguments, theyre mental acrobatics about how rooting for putin is justified and how he's better than NATO and not imperialist but also believing this doesnt count as actually supporting putin because it doesnt count as support if you only support him on the condition that it will ensure your very particular vision of a future revolution that involves like a thousand different unrelated and indeterminable variables, but lets just pretend that putin accomplishing his revanchist goals in a limited war is worth cheering on because you have a hunch it will turn out better down the line
all these retards act like leninists, as if what didnt make lenin & the bolsheviks the last good socialists standing after the outbreak of ww1 is that they REFUSED TO TAKE A SIDE. granted the difference is most people here are westerners choosing the side of their countrys enemy which is at least admirable, but this isnt afghanistan or vietnam where you can correctly support the enemy and hope the empire bleeds out in a quagmire, this is probably the closest thing you can get to direct contemporary inter-imperial conflict without a nuclear war. yes, in this case its between a much weaker regional imperial power trying to retain what little influence it has in a fight against the global hegemon, so its tempting to choose the global underdog, but the global underdog is still the regional imperialist. its not unlike saying you support apartheid south africa because while theyre not perfect theyre a bulwark against western hegemons imposing sanctions on them
my personal hope is that on one hand russia gets bogged down in ukraine & it creates a crisis for the russian bloc of eastern european and central asian countries. hopefully the russian communist party and working class in general will be rejuvenated by this and take advantage of the economic chaos and the inevitable decline in putins domestic support and legitemacy.
on the other hand i hope that the economic upset caused by sanctions on russia has major economic repercussions in the west, and hastens the decline of the US to an extent that the global south can recognize such decline and take advantage of it, with everywhere from latin america to africa to asia being given some room to test the water on taking bolder moves than they could in previous years when the US was not so occupied. if the US tried another war of intervention in such a weakened state it would probably be another nail in the coffin of its total hegemony.
of course this is all speculation as well, but a far weakened and isolated russia does not necessarily equal the west thriving or benefitting. russia & its regional sphere are a very important piece of the global economic puzzle, and if that link breaks due to military defeat & domestic chaos, nobody will come out unscathed
US warhawks want another cold war, they want proxy wars to pour money into, they dont want putin to blow his load on ukraine and then be couped for unpopularity and open up a much more politically and economically unpredictable situation
>>555427Despite the systematic campaign of lies by the bourgeois disinformation media, it is clear that the conflict in Ukraine is part of a secular war of aggression of Western imperialism against Russia and China, which began in 1918 with the US military invasion against the Russian Revolution, which was defeated by the Red Army in Siberia.

>>555433Oh really ? Are you aware of his bad opinions about LGBT and he literally thinks that "unequal exchange" cannot happen ?
His "proposals" are just
1) Utopian socialist talking points
2) Apply big computers. I believe that if a revolutionary party comes to power they can do it themselves without needing Mr Dickblast reactionary utopian drivels.
>>555435>Are you aware of his bad opinions about LGBT he literally thinks that "unequal exchange" cannot happen ? 1. bait and switch fallacy, topic was geo-politics not social values, or economic theory
2. Cockshott attacked specifically Judith Butler's version of gender theory on theoretical grounds, he did not push for social discrimination, learn to accept that some people have opinions that are very different from yours, without demanding to "burn the heretic". (Personally I'm undecided on the issue of gender theory, I'm holding out for evidence from brain research before i make up my mind, but if you do anything to imply that this theory is unquestionable doctrine, you are signalling a faith based believe system that will convince me to file it under highly improbable. I'm very allergic to anything that gives off religious zeal vibes)
3. unequal exchange theory is likely wrong, nobody has been able to challenge Cockshott's on a theoretical level on that. Some Marxist say that unequal exchange and profit equalization can be rescued when you restrict it to the realm of pure finance capital. I haven't drawn my conclusions about that yet, because it's dense theory that takes time to process.
>His "proposals" are just >1) Utopian socialist talking pointsCybernetic socialism is a realistic economic system for creating an economic system that could plausibly deliver on money-less economy.
Sortition democracy with democratic issue polling, is probably going to solve socialist problems with party politics, ie remove the need for purges..
>2) Apply big computers. I believe that if a revolutionary party comes to power they can do it themselves without needing Mr Dickblast reactionary utopian drivels.<Noo you can't think about possible ways how to construct a better future beforehand.I'm pretty sure that this hostility towards thinking about technical details about how to build a better future comes from an internalized desire to maintain the status quo, because if people can imagine how a better world could look like, they might actually change something.
TLDR you did not critique anything about the geo-political Article that Cockshott re-posted on his blog, you just attacked Cockshott's character, ad-hom attacks are type of social approval, congrats you just gave him a metaphorical upvote.
