Nothing shows how bought out the Republicans are to Russia more than the statement on how they didn’t want to send weapons to perpetuate war. That’s all these assholes want to ever do. The one time they don’t and it’s for daddy Putin. Half the issues with populism in the US seem to stem from the level of destructive populism Russia enjoys.
They wanted to stay in Afghanistan even after 20 years but 2 years of Ukraine is too much.
People just keep parroting this nonsense about money being allocated to Ukraine being the problem when the actual problem is lack of industrial capacity in the west to produce weapons and ammunition at the rate they’re being consumed. The west has now largely run through the existing stockpiles, and lacks the capacity to produce more in time. Mainstream western media now openly admits this https://www.theguardian.com/world/2024/feb/15/rate-of-russian-military-production-worries-european-war-planners
Allocating more funds for Ukraine isn’t magically going to make stuff like artillery shells appear out of thin air.
That’s interesting. In one breath The Guardian is saying money but I guess what you’re showing me is The Guardian indicating it’s more of a production issue. I guess I could read the new link you’re sharing but I’m going to guess it doesn’t really cover how Russia is outpacing the western world.
The whole thesis of the article is basically that western private industry driven industrial complex can’t compete with Russian state driven industry because it’s not profitable for companies to do so. Russia was able to do things like plan for surge capacity and to keep large mothballed factories ready for use even though it didn’t make financial sense to do so. Western military defence contractors are not willing to do this because it affects the bottom line negatively.
Furthermore, as it becomes increasingly evident that Russia is winning the war and the whole thing isn’t going to last that much longer, the companies have zero incentive to invest into building large new facilities that will only be used for a short time.
This war is basically invalidating the whole free market model.
So basically another version of guerilla warfare, right? The US is trash at guerilla warfare. Thinking Afghanistan and Vietnam, off the top of my head. We don’t even fuck with Central America on the ground. Just economically. It sounds like Russia’s figured out a way to fight outside of the free market … which is honestly funny as fuck when I think about how shitty the defense contractors in the US are for perpetuating death for cash. And here’s Putin, perpetuating death for lesser.
The idea of running some sort of an insurgency has been floated around a lot. I agree that it’s a dumb idea and I imagine it will backfire spectacularly because Ukrainian nationalists will be resentful of the west when the war is lost. They will blame the west for not full supporting Ukraine and for using them as a battering ram against Russia. Europe might end up seeing a sharp rise in terrorism in the near future. Also worth remembering that a lot of the weapons sent to Ukraine ended up on the black market, and likely in the hands of far right cells across Europe.

Not from the US or Europe, but I kept hearing news about Ukraine countering Russia? What just happened?
US Republicans are working towards autocratic facism in the US, and fundamental yet unspoken within that is their palpable relationship with other autocratic and autocratic hopefuls like Un and Putin.
US Republicans (and their voters) would rather live under theocratic facism than to have to share the world with people they don’t understand. They believe by supporting Putin, they’ll achieve their goals, which to date, has show to be an effective strategy.
Republicans, the elected ones and the ones that just vote R, have become the enemies of Democracy globally, and within the United States.

Massive swell of people to make any progress to have something to campaign with for Putin’s re-election. Ukraine has been generally running low on artillery and can’t fully capitalize on countering large unit offenses. The Ukrainians have a lot of western equipment but are low on funds to supply them.
You can’t reload Western equipment with funds, and the West’s ammunition production capacity has proven to be lacking compared to Russia’s.
Hahahahaha, good joke. Well, I suppose it’s true, if you think of rusty nails and pellets as being “ammunition”.
Russia finally admitted they were losing.
I sure hope some alphabet agencies in the US are looking deep into the senators blocking aid to Ukraine for being foreign agents of Russia.
Americans who think the alphabet agencies are going to save us: ACAB includes the alphabet agencies.
Oh I don’t think they will. I meant it sarcastically but I realize now that probably isn’t coming across.
Poe’s law is a bastard ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
As opposed to Cole’s law, which is a finely shredded cabbage salad

hope away, the alphabet is mightly righty
They’re too busy looking for pedo rings so they can chum up with them and then let them off with a “warning”
“Why won’t Russia just admit they’re losing already?!”
But you see, a bazillion Russians were killed during meat wave assaults with nothing but shovels to take this city that only has symbolic significance.
Which has one said about this city, only about Bahmut – which is a strategically irrelevant city. This city however is pretty important.
Nevertheless, Putins meatgrinder is still running extra hours and thousands of Russians are dying for his imperial ambitions every month. But it seems like unless the supporters of Ukraine send more weapons, the meatgrinder will grind more Ukrainians and not only Russians.

This is the cost of bipartisanship with Republicans.
As usual, mods remove replies calling attention to discussion manipulation by a specific nationality mentioned in the post.
The votes & comments are organic. You’re just used to the voting patterns & conversations of imperial core social media platforms. Once you step outside that bubble, you may find that opinions genuinely differ.
Concerning the #BlueAnon conspiracy theory in particular:
Meet Hamilton 68, the New King of Media Fraud The Twitter Files reveal that one of the most common news sources of the Trump era was a scam, making ordinary American political conversations look like Russian spywork
MSNBC Repeats Hamilton 68 Lies 279 Times in 11 Minutes
Chris Hedges: Why Russiagate Won’t Go Away
If by “core” you mean “civilized world”, yes.
So you’re just going to openly declare your imperial chauvinism like Josep Borell did?
Short Yellow Parenti clip: Not Underdeveloped but Overexploited
I’m going to declare that positioning oneself against western civilization as if a moral guardian, yet embracing cancerous regimes like NK, Chinese dictatorship or Russian oligarchic dictatorship, is the hallmark of a moron that is working against Marxist interests.
