rather simp for someone opposing nato expansion than for a neonazi puppet regime staffed by people handpicked by the CIA. I swear you liberals refuse on purpose to understand that in the grand scheme of things the action of a "bad guy" can still be beneficial.

Russia isn't conquering the world anytime soon. So what would you rather have? a more multipolar world where russia has a relatively safe and solid position after showing that it won't be bullied into submission by nato (with the whole world watching), or a world where russia is balkanized into several statelets without the political, economic or military strength to resist capitalist infiltration?

We saw what happened last time russia got defeated. We lost a bastion of socialism, we saw tens of millions impoverished while a few capitalits dismantled everything that the USSR had built, and the whole thing ushered 40 years of hegemonic atlantist domination.

So yeah, i am rooting for the "neoliberal protofascist dictatorship". There is a reason why literally nobody in the global south sanctioned Russia. 75% of the planet is reasoning the same way i am.

I think people have this notion that revolutions in history have been brought about by groups of people that shared the exact same ideology and magically agreed on everything.

This won't, ever, be the case.

We advance our goals by using our voices to influence leftist movements from within, by being radical streams in the big umbrella of "leftism".

I have been a member of the local socialist (socdem) party for a decade, and a local leader in the youth wing. 95% of the times i disagree with the party line. But being there gives me the chance to introduce new ideas, to at least start a debate. Our regional section is the only one that opposed exporting arms to Ukraine, and me and my small clique of radicals are the reason for it. Swiss tanks would be rolling around the Donbass if people like me and my comrades were stuck in our own small ideological sect with 14 members and 0.07% of the vote.

It's not about gloriously leading the people in a long march towards our specific ideals. It's about working in the background to slowly, piece by piece, build a consciousness of geopolitics and class warfare. It's about saying that one sentence that will provoke someone to think differently for once.

And then Iran, Argentina, Algeria, Kazakhstan, Nigeria, Egypt... BRICS will soon be controlling a vast majority of the global economy AND population. It's exciting, we may actually live to see the end of western hegemony

Shit's really looking bad for Kurti when even the americans aren't putting up with his crap.

But what was he thinking? Ethnic albanian majors "elected" with 0-100 votes in constituencies of tens of thousands of people. That's clearly a matter of renegotiating the electoral process instead of giving the Mayor title to whoever was there first. I can't believe the Kosovar goverment thought that that was going to work out.

What even is the point? Do the taliban actually think they can go in the offensive against Iran? I really don't get what's the plan here

as a rule of thumb, when those figures complain about a lack of ammo it's for one of two reasons:

1. they need to create the perception that the army is lacking in its ability to protect the country, thus manifacturing consent for higher military expenditure and whatnot.
2. they want to make the enemy think they are weaker than they actually are. This is what both Russia and Ukraine have been doing in Bakhmut, each complaining of a shortage of shells in order to encourage the other side to get out of cover.

Armies do not voluntarily expose their weak points, so assume that whenever army officials say shit like this, it's not genuine.

tbh Bing can have them, tf are they going to do? be even more irrelevant?

lemme tell you, social work is the best professional field to recruit from. Everyone is at least progressive and has people skills

Istg i can't wrap my head around how people are still tolerating burning literal billions into feeding and celebrating monarchs.

Like literally. At least a president runs the country.

redditors be like "this is out of context" as if there is a context where not condemning nazis is fine

tfw you get atomized by a ballistic missile even though you trained like goku for months
