    Trump doesn’t care about Ukraine. The west doesn’t care. What they care about is cornering Russia if possible, and carving Ukraine out for resources. The sanctions backfired, and drew Russia closer to the PRC, weakening US influence. NATO weaponry does not have the productive capacity to field a long-term war, these rollbacks are due to failure in strategy, not Putin having some mastermind level control over the west.

    As for Wikipedia, on political topics it is dominated by pro-NATO viewpoints. Prolewiki has fewer editors, but better sourcing, and as a communist I know their methodology is also better. If you have a reason to doubt them other than their size, then let me know, otherwise you’d doubt any book simply for having even fewer authors.

    You’ve given me no reason to trust you, nor to read that particular blog. I’ve read many already from contrasting viewpoints, it’s unlikely one more is going to fundamentally flip my understanding.
