This is a Dengist community in favor of Bashar al-Assad with no information that can lead to the arrest of Hillary Clinton, our fellow liberal and queen. This community is not ironic. We are Marxists-Leninists.
This community is for posts about Marxism and geopolitics (including shitposts to some extent). Serious posts can be posted here or in /c/GenZhou. Reactionary or ultra-leftist cringe posts belong in /c/shitreactionariessay or /c/shitultrassay respectively.
We have a Matrix homeserver and a Matrix space. See this thread for more information. If you believe the server may be down, check the status on status.elara.ws.
Rules:
- No bigotry, anti-communism, pro-imperialism or ultra-leftism (anti-AES)

They dont even realize that, even if Russia somehow thought they would take all Ukraine in 2 weeks and failed, they are still winning. Even if it takes them 3 years, if they achieve it theyll have won. These muppets think if you dont achieve every part of the plan exactly as was planned you automatically lost. Overdosing on copium.
We should be more hesitant to outright declare that as a win this early in everything playing out. It's very possible this was a trap set by the US to bog down Russia and have an opportunity to expand NATO while Russia is busy. They would also love to make a move on China while Russia is bogged down in Ukraine, media is really trying to get the people along with war over Taiwan.
Not trying to say Russia is losing here, just that we should step back and realize this could play out in 100000 different ways and many are not good for Russia long term. In 5 years things will be much clearer but until then we should speak with less certainty.
I personally thing that, as things are now, they are clearly winning, and if nothing changes, theyll probably win. Russia gains territory every day. They now control almost 1/4 of Ukraine, with all of Kherson, half of Zaporizhya, half of Donetsk, almost all of Lugansk and 1/3 of Kharkov regions. And all of this despite unprecedented western weapons supplies to Ukraine (more than 60 BILLION dollars) and Russia using minimal resources (only 200k troops). In the economic war, the victory has been crushing. The ruble is at its highest in years, despite Russia being now the most sanctioned country in the world. While in Russia inflation is staying low, in the west its skyrocketing. In Russia supermarkets are stocked, in the US there isnt even milk. I think Russia is clearly winning, and i honestly expected its economy to suffer much more. I definetely agree with you on Taiwan tho, the US may start shit there too.
This is even more important point that it is on the face value. It clearly shows the western global finance system for what it really is: a racket.
