Oppose the Putin government’s invasion of Ukraine and US-NATO warmongering! For the unity of Russian and Ukrainian workers!
>That the US and NATO are prepared to take the world to the brink of nuclear war, with all its horrific consequences, testifies to the staggering level of recklessness and aggressiveness that now prevails in all the centers of world imperialism.

Very comprehensive and accurate analysis! It is a coherent and powerful rebuttal to the narrative spewed by corrupt corporate-owned media.

Indeed, this crisis does not serve the interests of the working class in Russia, Ukraine. USA, Europe or anywhere else. Specifically, it is not the oligarchs and their stooges that are on the battlefield risking their lives or that of their families. They are not even risking their own money to wage wars. Instead, they profit from wars by selling weapons, finance the antagonists on both sides of the conflict, loot resources, enact sanctions to enrich themselves when prices rise and profit from reconstruction contracts after the war. In fact, the working class is on the battlefield spilling its blood, incurring lifetime injuries, physical and mental, and paying for the war in taxes and fees. Wars enrich the capitalist class and impoverish the workers and divide them worldwide.

WW1 and WW2 were imperialist wars to divide and redivide the world into spheres of influence in order to deflect from internal social conflicts caused by the capitalist system in various countries. This conflict could also be a prelude to WW3 for the same reasons. Oligarchs in different countries feel their survival or interests threatened by other oligarchs in other part of the world. They cannot agree on the resolution of their conflict via peaceful means, they resort to force. This is similar to thugs in different gangs using intimidation, threats and violence to defend or expand their turfs.

The propaganda on both sides is simply used to mystify the inherent contradictions of the capitalist system that lead to continuous wars, pillage and subjugation of the working class. Thus this conflict,.like all others, is amongst imperialist powers for greed, corruption and exploitation of the working class worldwide. War must be opposed by anyone who believes in the noble Marxist principles. Instead, efforts must made to educate and organize the working class so that it is able to assume its historic role of abolishing capitalism and building a new socioeconomic system based upon justice, equality and brotherhood throughout the world.

The campaign against Russian conductor Valery Gergiev: Middle-class hysteria in the service of war
>The announcement by New York City’s Carnegie Hall that Gergiev would no longer be conducting the Vienna Philharmonic on Friday is the product of war fever whipped up by the US government with the help of the pliant capitalist press.
https://www.wsws.org/en/articles/2022/02/26/pers-f26.html

In March 1918, the Swiss conductor of the Boston Symphony Orchestra, Dr. Karl Muck, was seized in a midnight raid from his home and put into a concentration camp for 17 months before being permanently deported to Copenhagen. Many in Boston took grave issue with this attack on the arts, which also saw the arrest of 29 orchestra members, but there was no political leadership to channel the opposition. It would take decades for the Boston Symphony to recover artistically.

Then as now every official communique was saturated with dishonesty. Muck's summer rental had "electronics," presumably for secret communications with the enemy. That he rented it from a New York professor of science who studied electricity did not enter the public denunciations. Muck had "secret messages" in his papers. These turned out to be markings in the musical scores he was preparing for performance. Muck refused to play the national anthem at concerts – he had not been asked to do so, and when later asked before arrest, he did. By the time of Muck's arrest, the newspapers were printing anonymous letters claiming he was planning to blow up munitions plants, tampering with soldiers' guns, and sending prostitutes with venereal diseases into American military bases.

This affair was orchestrated by the notorious A. Mitchell Palmer, would later brutalize the left during the Palmer Raids of the 1919-1920 red scare. He did so as the Democratic US Attorney General appointed by that "great liberal," Woodrow Wilson, and was assisted by his young lieutenant, J. Edgar Hoover.

During the months Dr. Muck sweltered within Camp Oglethorpe on the Georgia/Tennessee border, he organized 100 internees into an amateur orchestra. On December 12, 1918, this group, playing from hand-written parts, performed Brahms' Academic Festival Overture and Beethoven's Eroica symphony to 2,000 internees, officials, and townspeople from neighboring Chattanooga who had lined the streets outside the compound to hear the performance.

One of his fellow internees wrote of that night, "when Muck raised his baton one could have heard a mouse running. The whole performance was unforgettable … The American officers who attended said it was the greatest revelation they had experienced."

Dr. Muck would never again set foot in the United States.

The ruling class has no interest in the independence of artists or really anything else when it conflicts with their designs and an exercise in towering inhumanity is to them merely an item on their financial ledger.

Fight covid! Save lives! Stop the drive to World War 3!

"On Saturday, February 26, the World Socialist Web Site is hosting an international online webinar to oppose the US-NATO drive to war against Russia over Ukraine.

The Russian invasion of Ukraine must be opposed by all socialists and class conscious workers. However, this action cannot be understood outside of three decades of unending war spearheaded by American imperialism and the relentless expansion of the NATO military alliance into Eastern Europe.

The Biden administration, by refusing to discuss Russia’s objections to Ukraine’s integration into NATO, used Ukraine as bait. It incited the invasion, which will now be used as a pretext for escalating confrontation with Russia.

There is an enormous danger that the conflict in Ukraine will develop into a world war involving the US and Russia, the two most heavily armed nuclear powers in the world. There is a madness in this policy, but it is a madness with objective causes. The drive to war is fueled by a toxic mixture of imperialist geopolitics and insoluble internal crises, enormously exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic.

In this webinar, an international panel of leading members of the International Committee of the Fourth International and WSWS writers will review the causes and consequences of the US-NATO war drive and present the political basis for a fight against war."

Conflict between US-NATO and Russia over Ukraine threatens nuclear war
>Sixty years after the Cuban Missile crisis, the war in Ukraine has brought the world to the point where the exchange of nuclear weapons is a real possibility.
https://www.wsws.org/en/articles/2022/02/28/pers-f28.html

Yesterday evening I have listened carefully the entire Webinar session of WSWS staff members.
The committee members unanimously abhor the Russian invasion of Ukraine in all its manifestations, but at the same time they refuse to blame this ongoing war situation on the person of Vladimir Putin alone.
In fact, it would be fair to say that years of US and NATO provocations of the Eastern Europe and the support of Nazi and far right forces in Ukraine in the aftermath of 2014 color revolution has now produced this ongoing geopolitical conflict of Ukraine. What further exacerbated the situation is the insistence of Kiev government joining the NATO camp which is interpreted by Moscow as existential threat to their security interests. All of this put together and the barrage of propaganda that is coming from mainstream media today is creating the conditions for major escalation. We can all agree that in the midst of all this growing sabre-rattling calls the working classes of Ukraine, Russia and elsewhere can join the antiwar movement that is being proposed by WSWS as a serious attempt to stop the madness that is being unfolded as of this writing. After all working classes of all lands have absolutely no interest in supporting either the Russian nationalism that came after 1991 Soviet dissolution or the Western imperialist block.

NATO goes to war against Russia
>Already substantially armed and with weapons pouring in, Ukraine is the front line in a war aimed at regime change in Moscow and the complete subordination of Russia to NATO.
https://www.wsws.org/en/articles/2022/03/01/pers-m01.html

It is extremely crucial to the reader to see the explosive events that are taking form and shape in Ukraine beyond the misinformation and propaganda coming from Western news outlets. A legitimate question to all people at this point is why we got to this war situation this quick in the first place. Before answering this question I need to point out that I neither support Vladimir Putin's government nor his nationalist policies that are intended to divide the Russian and Ukrainian working classes along ethnic lines. In any case, even before the invasion of Ukraine the US and their NATO allies were deliberately provoking Russia in Eastern Europe and Black sea region. The Kremlin from their part have made it clear from the beginning that their security concerns for the past thirty years were constantly rebuffed by US, EU and their NATO allies, and what further exacerbated the situation is the insistence of Kiev government to join the NATO block at a time of growing hostility and mistrust. So they claim all this put together and the ongoing violence taking place in Eastern Ukraine has left them with little choice. Now the Western imperialist states are exploiting the grave situation in Ukraine for their own geopolitical agenda against Moscow. The working classes from their part should be consciously aware of all these facts for the sake of developing the antiwar movement which is our only hope remaining at this point in time.

Clear, concise and comprehensive analysis of current events in their historical and geopolitical context by WSWS. The international bourgeoisie, using its lackeys, has developed a strategy to gradually implement its domination globally. The capitalists have their mercenaries in the military, think tanks, government, media and in every domain to methodically and ruthlessly conquer every corner of the earth and exploit its natural resources and workers for obscene profits. Thus the response to these diabolical worldwide machinations must not be national, regional; or 'tribal'. To be effective in dismantling capitalism, revolutionary forces of the working class must unite globally and build a system based on social needs, not profits.

Playing reckless politics on the rim of a volcano
>Trotsky’s description of the world on the very eve of World War II acquires extraordinary relevance in the present situation. All the governments are behaving with staggering recklessness.
https://www.wsws.org/en/articles/2022/03/08/pers-m08.html

David's perspective indeed illustrates the adage of history repeating itself as no lessons have been learned from the tragic events of WW1 and WW2. The deep internal crisis in capitalist societies is yet endangering the world with a nuclear confrontation. Thus the conclusion we must draw is as long as capitalism is the dominant socioeconomic system worldwide, wars will not stop. Internal wars against the working class will continue and intensify and external aggression against others to loot their resources and exploit their workers will see no cessation.

In addition to David enumeration of the four internal contradictions in the US, the American capitalist class is being challenged from the the outside as well. The fiasco in Iraq, the debacle in Afghanistan, the defeat in Syria, the stalemate to impose a puppet regime on Yemen, the failures of the sanctions against Cuba, Venezuela, Iran, North Korean, Nicaragua, Russia and others. Add the move by Europe to have closer economic relations with Russia and China. The regime in Washington feels threatened internally by the political divisions and the failures abroad. The only policy to sustain the center of imperialism is the continuous printing of money out of thin air (quantitative easing) and wars to save the military industrial complex and the banking system..

The agony of capitalism is moving humanity to the precipice of annihilation. Russia will not submit and China knows it is next target of the imperialists. North Korea and Pakistan are aware the West victory will seal their fate into destruction or total surrender. In fact, the world is facing total dictatorship of capital globally or revolution worldwide. The stakes are so high in this crisis, it is beyond Ukraine.

The working class must denounce the deadly propaganda fueling the war fever and organize itself globally to put an end to this madness, once and for all.

The US-Ukrainian Strategic Partnership of November 2021 and the Russian invasion of Ukraine
>A principled, left-wing opposition to the Kremlin’s invasion of Ukraine requires uncompromising opposition to US/NATO. Absent that, claims of being “anti-war” are hypocritical and deceitful.
https://www.wsws.org/en/articles/2022/03/10/pers-m10.html

The Statement of the WSWS Editorial Board provides an excellent and comprehensive summary of the current events. The causes and consequences of this crisis are clearly outlined. Special emphasis has been noted about the specific imperialist forces vying for the re-division of the world and its resources, as was the case in WW1 and WW2.

What I would add is the entire imperialist world order established after WW2 is being challenged by many in different regions of the globe. In the Middle East, Iran and its allies, including Yemen, contest the West's domination. In Latin America and close by, Venezuela, Cuba, Nicaragua, Peru, Bolivia, Argentina and others struggle to free themselves of the imperialist control. In Europe, Serbia. Belarus and Russia refuse to submit to imperialism. In Asia, North Korea, China and others resist the hegemonic designs of the Western Imperialism.

Even within the capitalist societies there are social forces threatening the capitalist system. Thus capitalism is assailed and being challenged from internal and external forces

Another point I might add is the US and Its vassals are facing two strategic threats which have become their immediate targets to overcome, even at the cost of a nuclear confrontation. The US views Russia as a major military threat impeding its geo-strategic goals. The Americans have also considered China the other economic threat. Worse, the US foreign policy has caused the alliance of both adversaries. The current Western imperialist strategy to subdue or significantly weaken Russia and in parallel provoke China. The Americans are focusing more on the destruction of Russia by economic warfare to cause internal regime change. If Putin and his oligarchs survive the onslaught, they will be weakened and primed for military intervention or surrender.

Once the Russian threat is reduced or eliminated, the imperialist will refocus on China which will become isolated and deprived of a strong ally. Thus in the scheme of things, Ukraine crisis is simply one event in the overall imperialist strategy of world domination by the US and its allies.

No doubt, Russia and China, capitalist with their own interests, still oppress their own working class. Both countries simply want an accommodation and peaceful co-existence within the imperialist system on the conditions their interests are not threatened.

Understanding the geopolitics is necessary for the working class to calibrate its strategy in its continuous class struggle. It is evident the workers across the globe do not benefit from inter-capitalist conflicts. Au contraire, these quarrels divide them. Instead, the working class must unite worldwide and build a more equitable and peaceful socioeconomic system based on social needs, not profits.

The NATO campaign against Russia will drive escalating class struggle across the world
>The disastrous global impact of the sanctions regime against Russia and the gutting of social spending to pay for the military will drive explosive struggles, in which mass anger will intersect with the growing radicalization which is already underway as a consequence of the pandemic.
https://www.wsws.org/en/articles/2022/03/11/pers-m11.html

It is very clear the world is heading for another major global economic crisis triggered by the war in Ukraine. The reckless steps taken by the US and its western alleys have already made oil and gas prices skyrocketing and also increase many critical commodities. The oil prices have reached US$ 130 per barrel as the article states and some analysts estimate that this will go up to $200. With Russia's number, one wheat exporter in the world and with Ukraine accounts for a third of all exports has created a serious crisis in the food supply chain. Prices of aluminum, neon, and palladium have also started to increase sharply. This is under conditions that the world is experiencing a record level of inflation in several decades.

The quote from Hermann Goering is I think very applicable to the present situation and sums up the present mood of the ruling elite. Though Biden demands sacrifices for the war effort, the working class is in no mood for that. Even in America, the workers have started to fight back after being suppressed by the unions for decades. The oil and gas crisis will create a far more volatile situation than the oil shocks in the 1970s. Though the Stalinists be able to defeat that wave of strike with the help of the Pabloites then, they are today are a very discredited bunch. Conditions are greatly maturing to resolve the crisis of the leadership of the working class, and the outcome of the present crisis will completely depend on it.

Regarding war crimes, Russian and American
>It is impossible to speak in an honest fashion about war crimes while remaining silent about US imperialism.
https://www.wsws.org/en/articles/2022/03/12/pers-m12.html

WSWS once more exposes the hypocrisy of the West in general, and of the US in particular, when it concerns war crimes and human rights abuses. This well written article provides ample and easily verifiable details of the war crimes perpetrated by the US across the globe.

In addition to war crimes committed by the US military itself, add the millions of killing, tortured and maimed for life as a result coup d'etat, regime changes, covert operations and the outsourcing of killings and torture by the US to rogue regimes. Furthermore, factor in the murder and suffering of millions more via sanctions.

To some degree, no doubt most, if not all, governments abuse human rights and some commit genocides to a certain extent. Each perpetrator must be held accountable regardless. However, the US accuses and punishes its adversaries of crimes but has threatened anyone who dares investigate its war crimes or human rights violations. In a capitalist society, the ruling class disposes of anyone that threatens its interests and privileges,

In fact, capitalism treats the working class as a disposable commodity economically. Workers are stripped of their fundamental rights and dignity. Anyone who challenges the laws of class exploitation and domination is subject to harm. By its very nature, capitalism does not adhere to respect of human rights or sanctity of life. Profits and capital accumulation are the overriding motives, not morality, decency or social justice.

For the West to speak about human rights and war crimes is analogous to a prostitute preaching about morality. It is ironic and cruel, but more importantly hypocrite and deceptive.

WSWS eloquently denounces the double standard of the West which wants to enforce the application of human rights and try others for war crimes, but claim exceptionalism when it is guilty of same, or worse, crimes.

The NATO-Russia conflict spirals out of control
>The war between Russia and Ukraine, now well into its third week, is rapidly and dangerously escalating.
https://www.wsws.org/en/articles/2022/03/14/pers-m14.html

This crisis is not only economic and military, it is also in the information sphere. To denounce the Western propaganda fueling the war, WSWS continues to provide clear and critical perspective alerting the world of the mortal and immediate danger for humanity at large. WSWS Marxist analysis shows events slowly cascading into global conflict. It is evident the capitalists are playing Russian roulette with billions of lives with their aggression and miscalculations. At this very dangerous moment, both camps are in deadly embrace with no one backing down. The working class has no interest in wars. Thus the urgency and danger we all face today dictate workers mobilize and stop the madness.

This is a repeat of WW1 and WW2, however with greater intensity and lethality. The capitalists again plunge the world into another conflict for pillage and profits globally. The Western imperialists are all in this battle. The coming war will devastate the world, the environment and humanity.

The current planned conflict started with clear objectives of decoupling Russia from Europe and killing NS2 as the immediate goal. The second objective has been to destroy Russia, by all means, to isolate and weaken China for subsequent war on the Chinese. Defeating both adversaries will give the US complete domination of the globe and allow it to stop the assault on dethroning the US dollar as the world currency reserve which will lead to the demise of US empire and the resulting fall of the Western world order.

Both Russia and China are facing existential threats. Their allies like Iran, North Korea, Cuba and others realize the risks as well. The spark has been lit in Ukraine, however, with NATO increasing its involvement and threats, the situation may explode any moment in WW3. Russia is no match for NATO in a conventional war, thus it will resort to the use of nuclear weapons. Retaliation may follow then hell will break loose from there.

The stakes are high for both capitalist camps and the world. Events are rapidly changing and the world is descending into chaos, misery and death. Capitalists are intoxicated and out of control. The working class has the historical and moral responsibility to intervene and dispense of capitalism, source of inequality, wars and dehumanization.

WHAT IS HAPPENING IN AND AROUND UKRAINE
March 14, 2022
There is a war in Ukraine. Outwardly, it looks like an armed conflict between Russia and Ukraine. All political forces, including Left, have spoken out about these events. The range of assessments: from humanistic-emotional (“people are dying, stop the war”) to purely class (“The West is pushing two oligarchic regimes”). In fact, this conflict has deep roots. When analyzing the situation, we must take into account both the national content of the class struggle and the class content of the national struggle.

What is Ukraine? The territory of present-day Ukraine until the middle of the XVII century was a sparsely populated space, contested by neighboring countries. By the beginning of the XX century the lands of present-day Ukraine were divided between Poland, Austria-Hungary and Russia. After 1917 revolution some of these lands temporarily declared independence. However in 1922 they joined the USSR as the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic. So Ukraine gained statehood, although limited.

Ukraine was an agricultural country. To ensure its development in 1918 at the suggestion of Vladimir Lenin six Russian industrial regions including Donetsk and Lugansk which had never been part of Ukraine were transferred to Ukraine. In 1939 Galicia (Western Ukraine) was annexed to Ukraine, previously part of Poland. The current territory of Ukraine is the result of its entry into the USSR. It consists of disparate pieces: from Galicia (Lviv) with a strong influence of Catholicism to Eastern Ukraine, which strongly gravitates towards Russia.

Socialist Ukraine developed powerfully. Aircraft and rocket building, petrochemistry, electric power industry (4 nuclear power plants) and defense industries were added to the extraction of metal and coal. As part of the USSR Ukraine received not only the bulk of its current territory, but economic potential making it 10th largest economy in Europe. Ukrainian politicians were dominant in the Soviet leadership. N.Khrushev, L.Brezhnev, K.Tchernenko run the USSR from 1953 to 1983/

After the collapse of the USSR in December 1991, Ukraine became an independent state for the first time in its history. But this destroyed centuries-old economic integration with Russia. The “market” model led to the de-industrialization of Ukraine, to sharp drop in the standard of living of the population. On the basis of predatory privatization, an oligarchic class arose.

Now it is the poorest country in Europe. The level of corruption and social differentiation is of the world highest. The manufacturing industry except metallurgy, is practically destroyed. The economy rests on Western loans and money transfers from migrant labour who left for Europe and Russia in search of work. (about 10 million out of 45 million people), basically qualified specialists. The degradation of human capital has reached its limit. The country is on the verge of a national catastrophe.

The population of Ukraine is strongly dissatisfied. However this dissatisfaction with pro-Western authorities is manipulated in such a way that each time even more pro-Western forces win the elections. In February 2014, a US and NATO-backed state coup was carried out in Ukraine. The US State Department has publicly stated that it has invested $5 billion in its preparation.

Neo-Nazis came to power. These are, first of all, people from Western Ukraine (Galicia), which for centuries was under the rule of Poland and Austria-Hungary. Extremely nationalistic, anti-Semitic, anti-Polish, Russophobic and anti-Communist sentiments are historically strong there. After Hitler’s invasion of the USSR, German troops were greeted in Western Ukraine with flowers. SS divisions were formed there fought against the Red Army. Local nationalists, led by Hitler’s admirer Stephan Bandera, set about exterminating the Jewish population. In Ukraine about 1.5 million Jews were killed – one fourth of all Holocaust victims. During the “Volyn massacre” in 1944 about 100,000 Poles were brutally murdered in Western Ukraine. Banderas destroyed Soviet guerillas and burned alive the men, women and children in hundreds of villages in Belarus. Ukrainian nationalists who served as guards in German concentration camps became notorious for monstrous cruelty.

After the war from 1945 to 1953, US and UK-supported anti-Communist and anti-Soviet rebels in Western Ukraine unleashed terror against civilian population. During these years Banderas killed about 50 thousand civilians. This is the nature of forces – descendants and followers of fascists – which came to power after the 2014 coup. The traditions of anti-Polish, anti-Semitic and anti-Russian terror are very strong among the neo-Nazis who now really govern Ukraine. 42 opponents of Nazi were burnt alive in the Trade Unions building in Odessa on May, 2, 2014 /

It is an alliance of neo-Nazis with oligarchic capital. Banderas (like the SS stormtroopers in Germany) serve as a shock detachment of big business. The only difference is that Banderas refrain from outright anti-Semitism, having established a class unity with the local oligarchy. Banderas tightly control every move of state power, constantly blackmailing it with the threat of a coup. On the other hand, the policy of Ukraine is determined by the US Embassy in Kyiv.

The nature of the current Ukrainian state is an alliance of big capital and the state bureaucracy, relying on criminal and fascist elements under the full political and financial control of the United States.

After 2014 Nazi ideology is being implanted in Ukraine. Day of Victory over fascism on May 9 has been canceled. Ukrainian fascists – organizers and participants in the atrocities of the war – are officially recognized as national heroes. Every year torch marches are held in honor of fascist criminals. Streets and squares are named after them. The Communist Party of Ukraine operates underground. Intimidation and political assassinations of politicians and journalists became constant. Monuments to Lenin and everything related to the memory of life in the USSR are being destroyed.

At the same time an attempt began to forcibly assimilate the Russian population of Ukraine with the suppression of the Russian language. An attempt to introduce Afrikaans instead of English in South Africa led to the Soweto uprising in 1976. The same thing happened in Ukraine. An attempt to transfer school education from Russian into Ukrainian gave rise to powerful resistance in the Donetsk and Lugansk regions. People took up arms. In May 2014 a referendum was held there, in which 87% of citizens voted for independence. This is how the Donetsk (DPR) and Lugansk people’s republics (LPR) arose. After several unsuccessful attempts to invade the LPR-DPR, the Nazis from Kyiv switched over to terror. During 8 years of shelling from large-caliber guns, more than 13 thousand civilians, including children, women and elderly people were killed in LPR-DPR. With the complete silence of the world community.

The Communists of Russia take an active part in the defense of the LPR-DPR. Hundreds of communists are fighting the Nazis as part of the troops of the people’s republics. Dozens of communists died in this struggle. In 8 years the CPRF sent 93 convoys with humanitarian aid to these republics with a total weight of 13,000 tons, received thousands of children for rest and treatment in Russia. All these years the CPRF headed by Gennady Zyuganov demanded from the leadership of Russia the recognition of the independence of Donbass.

In March 2015 at the initiative of Russia (with the participation of Germany and France) the Minsk agreements were concluded, which provided for the special status of the LPR-DPR within Ukraine. However, Ukraine evaded their implementation. With the support of the United States, Kyiv was preparing to crush the LPR-DPR by force of arms. The US, UK and other NATO members provided training for the Ukrainian army. They constructed over 30 major military installation in Ukraine including 15 Pentagon laboratories for the development of bacteriological weapons (cholera, the plague and other deadly diseases). Ukraine with its four nuclear power stations and huge scientific-technical potential is able to construct an A-bomb. This intention was publically declared. There was a danger of deployment of US cruise missiles. The situation in Ukraine increasingly threatened Russia’s security.

In December 2021 Russia proposed to the United States to talk about non-expansion of NATO. The US and NATO ignored the proposal. In January 2022 Russia warned that it would be forced to take additional measures to protect its security. At the same time it became known that Ukraine had concentrated 150,000 servicemen and Nazi battalions in Donbass. Kyiv, backed by the USA was preparing to regain control over Donbass through war this March.

On February 22 President Putin announced the recognition of the independence of the LPR-DPR. On February 25 the Russian Armed Forces operation of began.

Russia is not going to occupy Ukraine. The purpose of the operation is the liberation of Ukraine from the Nazis and its neutrality (refusal to join NATO). The tactics of the Russian troops is, while attacking military facilities, to minimize the casualties among civilian population and Ukrainian military, to avoid destruction of civilian infrastructure. They are brotherly people. We will continue to live together. However, the Bandera Nazis use the most disgusting tactics of the German fascists, using civilians and their houses as human shields. They install artillery and tanks in residential areas, forbid citizens to leave war zones, turning hundreds of thousands of people into hostages.

This nefarious Nazi tactic is not condemned in the West. It is the United States, waging an information war through the media controlled by them (only Russia Today resists), that are interested in the war. The United States strikes not only at Russia but also at Europe. The NATO war against Yugoslavia in 1999 was a means of destabilizing the European Union. Today the US main goal is to prevent Russian gas supplies via the Nord Stream-2 pipeline to force Europe to buy more expensive liquefied gas from the United States, thereby sharply weakening Germany and other EU countries. The volume of trade between Russia and the EU is 260 billion dollars a year. With the US – 23 billion USD . 10 times less. Therefore the sanctions imposed at the request of the United States hit, first of all, Europe. The events in Ukraine are yet another American war for control of the world.

By the way, the claims about global nature of boycott of Russia are false. BRICS countries (Brazil, India, China and South Africa) constituting 43% of the world population did not support sanctions. China is the 1st and India – 3d biggest economies of the world. Sanctions were not supported by Asia (excluding Japan and South Korea with their US military bases), by the Middle East, by the largest countries of Latin America and by the majority of the

For 30 years I have been one of the most active critics of the domestic and foreign policy of the Russian elite. In its class character, the oligarchic-bureaucratic power in Russia is not much different from the power in Ukraine (except without fascism and full US control). However, in those unfortunately rare cases when the leaders of Russia pursue a line that meets the historical interests of the country and the people, the principle of “automatic” criticism is hardly appropriate.

I have long argued that sanctions will have a beneficial effect on getting rid of Russia’s imposed dependence on the West in various areas of life. The Russian government is already taking the first steps in this direction. The task of the left forces is to vigorously encourage the authorities to change not only foreign policy, but also the socio-economic course, which does not correspond to the interests of the people.

Ukraine, Saudi Arabia and the hypocrisy of imperialism
>The Biden administration and the corporate media howl about alleged Russian atrocities in Ukraine while turning a blind eye to the mass executions and saturation bombing carried out by Saudi Arabia.
https://www.wsws.org/en/articles/2022/03/15/pers-m15.html

WSWS has exposed the blatant and cruel hypocrisy and double standard of the West vis-a-vis human rights and war crimes. The rules applied by the West depend on who is perpetrating the gross violations. If it is Israel slaughtering Palestinians, Colombia violently suppressing widespread protests or Saudis, UAE and their mercenaries killing and starving millions of Yemenis, the Western elite and their controlled media are silent. Worse, their intelligence services and weapons contribute to the suffering of millions across the world. The Saudis may have chosen this timing to execute close to 100 of their citizens because they know they will get away with it. Currently they are being courted by the US to produce more oil to compensate for the loss of Russian share. Furthermore, since the Saudis financed ISIS to go after Iran's allies (Iraq, Syria and Lebanon), it will be no surprise if we learn later on they also financed the terrorists and mercenaries going to Ukraine, to buy the West silence regarding war crimes in Yemen and human rights abuses at home. This quid pro quo works for both, the West and the Saudis monarchy. Experience has shown the West has no friends or values, only interests, be they economic or strategic.To the US, one is a friend today, but disposable tomorrow when no longer needed. Saddam was armed and used against Iran during the horrible 8 year war. Later on he was pursued and executed on bogus charges. Noriega was a CIA asset, then he became a liability. He too was captured and jailed in US until his death.The puppet government in Afghanistan collaborated with NATO against its own people, but abruptly left to face the Taliban. Ukraine was also incited to adopt anti-Russian policies and now it is also abandoned to fight the Russians by itself. France, a NATO ally, was cheated out of a contract with Australia, by US and UK. When it comes to betrayal, the West is the top equal opportunity actor.

The West protects and drops its allies and stooges for the same reasons, But when it comes to Iran, Russia, China or Cuba or any targeted country by the West, the propaganda machine is unleashed with incessant barrage of fake news, fake witnesses and made up stories to demonize these countries. Sanctions are applied and threats of war crimes prosecution are issued.

Another example of the hypocrisy and double standards of the West are the repeated cries about the supposed oppression of the Uyghurs in China. However, in reality, It is the the US and its allies that invaded and killed millions of Muslims and turned their countries into failed states. It is the West that has imposed dictatorial regimes around the world that loot their respective countries and stash their ill-gotten wealth in Western countries. These corrupt regimes commit severe human rights abuses, including torture and disappearances.

Moreover, we heard the loud protests and denunciation of Russia regarding Alexi Nalvany, agent of the West for regime change in Russia. But not a word defending Assange, Snowden, or bringing to justice the perpetrators of the gruesome murder and decapitation of Jamal Khashoggi, the US-based journalist.

If there is any doubt, just look at the reception the Ukrainian refugees are receiving in Europe versus the Muslim civilians escaping wars in their countries instigated by the West. The racism and double standards are obvious.

Thus it is predictable the Western media remains silent about the massacre of citizens in Saudi Arabia. It is a major oil producer with huge investments in the West. Interests trump human rights in the West. By contrast, the denunciation of Russia as targeting civilians by design and committing other human rights abuse is currently the prevalent story in the West.

Based on historical facts, the West has credibility when it comes to human rights and war crimes. The West itself has committed, and supported those who are guilty of, war crimes and human rights violation at home and abroad. For the Western media, to gain trustworthiness, they must cover the news and events with integrity and truth using the same intensity and frequency regardless who committed war crimes or human rights abuses. However, we know these news outlets are capitalist themselves, for profits. They derive their income and legitimacy by supporting the 'system'. They are compromised by their very nature and class interest. Thus we do expect the media in the West to be neutral or truthful or supporting of the working class.

Capitalism does not value human life unless it is producing profits. Workers are commodities used and disposed of when necessary, across the globe. Violations of human rights and war crimes are repressive tactics to subjugate the working class and maintain its exploitation by the capitalist class. The corrupt media are instruments of domination and indoctrination to divide and alienate the working class.

Zelensky appeals to Germany’s militaristic traditions
>The Ukraine war serves as a welcome occasion for Germany’s ruling class to realise long-term ambitions for military rearmament.
https://www.wsws.org/en/articles/2022/03/19/mcbb-m19.html

Zelensky, a former comedian, now a US/NATO puppet, is turned into a rock-star, an international celebrity. In fact, some are now even proposing him as Nobel Peace recipient. His performances appear to have been choreographed in Hollywood. He is definitely stage-managed. However, behind the curtain, there is a sober reality. After the American financed coup in 2014, for all intents and purposes, the American intervention, with NATO complicity, can be called a 'soft' invasion and take over of the Ukrainian 'government'. Since then critical decisions, especially of war and peace, are made by foreign interests for Ukraine. Speeches and steps are dictated by the US. One can safely say Ukraine has been occupied since 2014. Many Russians actually believe Ukraine is being liberated, especially in the case of Crimea and Donbass.

Germany is a defeated power in WW1 and WW2. Like Japan and South Korea, it is also literally occupied by 1000s of American troops. Their constitution has been written by the US. Many geo-strategic decisions are imposed by the US on Germany. For instance, the NS2 project was killed by the Americans, not the Germans. The entire Europe and the Anglo-Saxon territories (Canada, Australia, New Zealand, etc,,,) are stooges of the US, sacrificing their own interests on behalf of the US imperialism.

From a Marxist perspective, the Western ruling class led by the US has designs to subjugate Russia, then China, to extend its domination over the working class globally. The goal is pillage of natural resources and profit. In this specific context, the workers. as a social class, be they Ukrainian, American, German, Russian or any do not benefit from these recurring inter-capitalist conflicts. In fact, the working class has been the victim of capitalism since its inception. For this reason, it needs to unite worldwide and save humanity from nuclear catastrophe.

The Canadian Pacific lockout and UK ferry mass sackings: Ruling class ruthlessness in response to growing class struggle
>The ruling class is moving ever-more ferociously to impose austerity and suppress workers’ struggles in the name of the “national interest” and preparations for war with Russia.
https://www.wsws.org/en/articles/2022/03/21/pers-m21.html

Excellent article on class struggles in capitalist societies across the globe in general and in the West in particular. Cases of workers strikes, mass-firings and betrayal by unions in Canada, UK, India, Spain and US highlights the internal crisis in these so called democracies. Capitalism is being challenged from within and abroad. The paragraph below illustrates the class antagonism and the brutality of the ruling class:

"Workers all over the world increasingly find themselves in a political struggle against a ruling class that has nothing to offer the population but an unending pandemic, low wages, unbearably long hours, austerity and war"

The internal repressive measures deployed against workers in each country and the imperialist aggression abroad to subjugate even more workers in distant lands show the international character of the struggle by the working class globally.

The ruling class has no issue pumping billions and billions into wars but refuses to provide adequate wages for workers to live on. It also no problem issuing trillions to Wall Street racketeers to enrich themselves in speculative endeavors.

While the income of the ruling class keeps exponentially increasing, the wages of the working class remain stagnant yet the cost of living skyrocket with inflation, taxation and other schemes. The income inequality widens to obscene levels.

The war in Ukraine temporarily masks the intense and widespread internal struggles within capitalist societies. The deliberate and massive propaganda machine is misleading the world in proclaiming to defend democracy abroad, but remain silent or anti-workers at home.

The class struggle will intensify as the capitalist world order is being challenged amongst capitalists and by workers. This article mobilizes workers worldwide in their common struggle to unite and dispose of capitalism.

NATO meets to plot next stage in Ukraine proxy war
>This week’s NATO summit is a council of war to prepare for a massive intensification of the US-NATO campaign against Russia.
https://www.wsws.org/en/articles/2022/03/24/pers-m24.html

The bellicose tone coming from US and their NATO allies, and the push for New world order shows that this thing goes far beyond Ukraine. In fact, as the WSWS staff have clearly pointed out they are using the Russian invasion which they have been provoking for years as a pretext to push an aggressive foreign policy approach against both Russia and China that could end-up into great power conflict under these conditions. At a time of heightened contradictions back home a possible war seems a sensible idea for the ruling classes for distracting the people. A building up of antiwar international movement would come as a response to these dangerous imperialist developments.

The NATO-Russia conflict threatens nuclear war
>On Thursday, the leaders of the Western powers met to plan out the unthinkable: A full-scale war between nuclear-armed states.
https://www.wsws.org/en/articles/2022/03/25/pers-m25.html

This is indeed a tremendously scary development. Forget about the bloody fights between Sunnis and Shias, Al Qaeda wreckage and ISIS mayhem. The 'civilized world' is at it again using violence, on an unimaginable scale, to resolve their quarrels. The most violent terrorists, ie, imperialists, are in the West. Look at the history of colonial wars, WW1 and WW2 and the millions of lost lives. And they say Muslims are the most violent people? Not even close!

The capitalists have learned nothing from the devastating wars in Europe. The drive for looting and profits overrides all considerations, including the demise of humanity with nuclear weapons. With horror, I have read hundreds of comments by ordinary citizens on many platforms and listened to corporate mass media, it appears the indoctrination and mass propaganda have succeeded to garner support for war against Putin. He has been caricatured into the new Hitler. Sadly, the sheep is being led to the slaughter house mercilessly.

NATO is contemplating sending 'peacekeeping force' or staging a false flag operation to justify its intervention to save the Nazi formations they have been training, financing, arming and providing with intelligence and strategic advice. These thugs are their new ISIS in Europe which they will use in many other spots to destabilize.

The Chinese foreign minister made a trip to New Delhi perhaps to resolve their issue in preparation for WW3. Should Russia be attacked, China will intervene as it knows it is next on the chopping block. Then hell will break loose as a results of provocations and miscalculations.

Capitalism has been agonizing for decades as a result of its internal contradictions. From crisis to crisis, war to war, scheme to scheme it has been on life support. The incessant pillage of resources and accumulation of capital via exploitation of billions of workers have been its high crimes against the working class.

Capitalism has caused so many wars and misery of billions worldwide. Once more. it is putting humanity at risk of annihilation, like in 1962 Cuban missile crisis. Imperialism is about to commit the most heinous crime against humanity. The danger now there is no anti-war movement significant enough to stop the march toward nuclear war. It is urgently and critically important that at minimum this movement is mobilized. Better yet, the working class must unite worldwide and dispense of capitalism, the source of exploitation, wars and misery for all.

Anyway Ukraine is a really important thing, and I wish some of the bits of actual news from the .org thread could be filtered through all the faggotry the mods have put in to steer the narrative. There's a lot going on here that tells us the stupid narrative of a "new Cold War" or "multipolarity" is a farce. For the past few years, radical politics has been playing up this multipolarity horseshit as some sort of global Boogaloo that's totally going to destroy the evul US Empire which is the source of all the bad people. Turns out, as anyone could have told you, the problem is way bigger than some out-of-date 1930s conception of geopolitics. Russia's actions in the war are in one sense exactly what they would have to do if you did believe they had a national interest, and on the other, it's becoming clear Putin and his government don't enjoy the kind of support they would like to have.

It's too late for that, most of the Nazi formations died or gave up when Russia cracked their stronghold in Mariupol. And it's not like the Russians lacked the ability vaporize NATO forces if they entered the Ukraine theater. Russians and Ukrainians still have a lot in common from the Soviet period, that's why the Russian military has restrained it's use of heavy weapons, but that does not apply to NATO forces.

>I have read hundreds of comments by ordinary citizens on many platforms

social media is being flooded with astroturfing and bots, and manipulated by biased algorithms, it does not reflect popular opinion. Many people on social media treat it as a game where they write stuff that gets them the most amount of internet points, it doesn't necessarily reflect their opinion. Even the people that click upvote and like may just show support for a culture war position, not actual support for war with Russia.
>and listened to corporate mass media, it appears the indoctrination and mass propaganda have succeeded to garner support for war against Putin. He has been caricatured into the new Hitler. Sadly, the sheep is being led to the slaughter house mercilessly.
They don't have consent for a war with Russia, their use of censorship proves it. This is not like the Afghanistan and Iraq war, they didn't bother censoring critics back then because they were able to manufacture consent.

You got a huge, undisciplined, scare, hungry invading force, it makes more sense that Russians shot those civilians. There’s not broad support for the Russian invasion among Ukrainians so no, a few friendly fire incidents doesn’t prove that this was Ukrainian forces.
The Russian military has already killed thousands of civilians and they’ve been going more scorched earth as time goes on.

You are giving me the eastern hordes argument, as motivation for the alleged deed. That's the old propaganda pattern from the cold war. And it's not convincing, because it doesn't make sense to slaughter civilians on the way out.

It's very likely that the Russian military has committed atrocities, because that's what happens in wars, but this particular story doesn't ad up. Just before this happened the Ukrainians posted that they were clearing "saboteurs and Russian accomplices" that's the best explanation for this. All the other points of evidence fit this interpretation as well. The only data-point that contradicts it, is that satellite image with a date that indicates 2 week delay between the shooting and the discoveries of bodies. There doesn't seem to be a way to verify satellite photos, and there is a patterns of using satellite images in support for false claims.

I can't figure this out on my own, and i can't trust mainstream media they are terrible in general and in this war they just repeat everything the Ukrainians say uncritically , and so far i have not seen any confirmation from sources i can be absolutely sure they are out of reach of the US narrative control sphere.

Ukraine is not a NATO member and NATO wasn't going to let Ukraine join anytime soon if ever. So it seems like you believe that Ukraine's mere national existence as a country bordering Russia is a "threat to Russia". Which, well, isn't the case. Ukraine existing as a separate nation on Russia's western border might be a "threat" to the Russian oligarchy's ability to project a "sphere of influence" beyond Russia's current borders, but it is not a threat to Russia proper, e.g. Russia's working class citizens who are exploited by these aforementioned Russian billionaire oligarchs (and many of whom have family in Ukraine who have been killed or displaced from their homes by Putin's reactionary war of aggression).
>>455052
>It's not even close to the same thing because Russia actually has validity in their claims.
You mean Russia's claims that:
>Ukraine was imminently going to join NATO
False
>Ukraine was hosting NATO missiles on the border with Russia
Also false. And neither of which justify a war of aggression (the supreme international crime), for which there are no valid "justifications".
>Do you think the US invading Iraq was justified?
No. Bush's pretexts of "Saddam hosting WMD's", along with the more laughable one of "Saddam hosting Al-Qaeda", for invading Iraq in 2003 were equally as nonsense as Putin's pretexts for invading Ukraine in 2022.

As well as of Putin himself.
>the special military operation
I don't deal in euphemisms. Russia's invasion of Ukraine is a war of aggression against the poorest country in Europe (Ukraine), which poses no threat to Russia.
>Biden was having talks with Ukraine about joining NATO
You mean the hour and a half long phone call between Biden and Zelenskiy where Biden vaguely told Zelenskiy that Ukraine joining NATO is "in Ukraine's hands" and "depends on Ukraine and NATO"? That's your "smoking gun" that Ukraine was going to imminently join NATO? Despite Ukraine being denied NATO membership for decades, NATO stating it had no intentions of offering Ukraine membership anytime soon (if ever) and also despite the fact that Biden's vague non-committal response on whether Ukraine could join NATO does not ensure Ukraine's future membership, since Ukraine could only join NATO if the member countries of that military alliance were to vote unanimously in favor.

>Ukraine wasn't a threat but the United States is
Which again begs the question, why Russia attacks Ukraine which isn't a threat? Rather than attack the United States which is the threat? Could it be that Ukraine was seen as a "soft target" by the Russian military power structure? And an easily obtainable source of a potential future bonanza of resources and private profits, as is the case with most wars of aggression waged by capitalist states? Whereas attacking the USA, the actual threat to Russia, would be a suicidal maneuver on Putin's part that would inflict near incalculable damage to the Russian state in a conflict with an opponent that is vastly more powerful on an economic, logistical and conventional military level? Unless that war were to involve nuclear weapons, in which case both adversaries are on par with each other but strategic nuclear exchanges between the 2 most nuclear armed capitalist powers on Earth would cause their mutual destruction as well as the death of potentially billions of people worldwide and the return of human civilization to the Stone Age, if it were even to survive at all.
>The US is a threat to Russia and definitely would like to see the Russia federation bulkanize.
And the US being hostile to Russia justifies Russia invading Ukraine and slaughtering and displacing its population how?
>I don't know what you are talking about with Ukraine hosting missiles. Are you skitzo?
The Putin government in Russia put forward the false claim that NATO missiles were stationed on Russia's borders pointed at Russia as one of the pretexts justifying their eventual war of aggression against Ukraine.

Hold your chauvinism.

The Russians tried "humanitarian war" and they kinda did kill fewer civilians and destroyed somewhat fewer buildings, but they also suffered more casualties. The strange thing about this war is that it looks like the Russians had many operational blunders but at the same time Russia's kill ratio is 7 to 1 , which also makes this the most efficient war operation ever. The Ukrainians used Volksturm(TM), even children and the elderly got sent to the front, that's probably what inflated their losses. We also have to keep in mind that Russia deployed a force that was 1/3 the size of Ukraine's military, and the ukranian military got utterly smashed. The Azov fascists that functioned as US proxy forces got decimated. The last 10 years of CIA investment has been wiped out.

If you compare it to US flavored "humanitarian war" the US did much better at preventing casualties in their own ranks, but they also killed more civilians and caused more destruction.

>This whole shitshow has shown that the U.S. would wipe the floor with the Russian army.

I don't think you can draw this conclusion. The US droned Afganistan to shit for 20 years and they still lost the war against goat herders with kalashnikovs. That was a much greater embarrassment.

Also a war between Russia and US would be a different kind of war, the Russians would not hold back heavy weapons. In the current conflict the Russians have demonstrated that their new supersonic weapons and very long range SAM are operational. Those are weapons the US can't counter without astronomic losses. The wiping would be mutual. The US military is much better funded but they spend a lot of their budget on weapons systems that are very cost inefficient for fighting. (mind you It was very efficient for lining the pockets of weapons capitalists)

What we can conclude from this war is the Russians still aren't very good at complex infantry tactics, but that doesn't take anything away from their ability to obliterate everything with massive firepower. They could have turned Ukraine into rubble and smoldering ash in mere days. I think it's good that they didn't because less destruction and death is better. We should not judge restraint as weakness, we don't want war to become a competition for total annihilation.

>Everything has been downhill since Stalin, jesus christ.

Stalin would have moved 3 thousand katyusha trucks around Kiev and made an ultimatum "Surrender or we'll make the katyushas sing". The Ukrainians would have declined, and after the music had stopped, 1/2 million people would be dead and who ever was left would have signed the unconditional surrender.
Stalin's methods were appropriate in his time, and every death that occurred at the hands of Soviet forces has to be morally attributed to the fascists and the capitalists that enabled them, but at the same time we don't want those times to return.

No it didn't this proxy war was started by the US in 2014 when they regime changed Ukraine with the help of fascist elements in Ukraine, and the food prices didn't change until the US basically sanctioned the hole world (even-though they said they would sanction Russia)

<Almost 50 million people have been pushed to the brink of starvation since the war began, as disruptions to grain supplies and soaring costs push food prices out of the reach of the poor.

The only grain supplies that were physically disrupted were the ones from Ukraine, but that didn't cause the food security issues, Ukraine's grain exports are not big enough that they could significantly impact world food prices. US sanctions blocked fertilizer (and energy to make fertilizer) from Russia and Belarus. Especially countries in the south depended on that for their agriculture.

>“The development of the military conflict in Ukraine has shown that its leading trend is its escalation into an open clash between the two imperialist blocs

>The UCU invokes the classical Marxist view of imperialism
Russia is not imperialist from a Marxist view, imperialism is the stage of capitalism, where industrial capital and bank capital has merged into finance capital that is seeking to impose it self on the world to export capital. Russia barely has any finance capital and is mostly just exporting commodities. Imperialism is a global system. Russia is in the semi periphery of that imperial system.

This war happened because the US as the imperial hegemon wanted to make Ukraine into a tool to impose it's will on Russia. Which makes Russia an anti-imperialist force.

You can blame the US for trying to expand their empire towards Russia and destroying the neutrality of countries between blocks, which was keeping the peace. You can blame the EU for cucking out to US foreign policy dictates. But you can't blame Russia for not lying down and die at the whims of the US.

Look at how communists are treated in the parts of Ukraine that are aligned with Russia, where the communist party is legal and communists hold positions in government vs the parts of Ukraine that are aligned with the west, where the communist party is banned and leftists are/were hunted by the azov gang. I'm wondering under how much duress Ukrainian communist are writing.

>>455694
>Wow, an actual paid shill.
It does kinda look very synthetic, while the article does give lip-service to anti-capitalism and name drops Lenin. The actual talking points are pretty close to the imperial line. The most suspicious part is that organic communists would not ignore the context of the war,like ignoring the Donbass-war that has been going on for the last 8 years. But i do wonder whether this line is coming from shills or if there is a strata for whom this is an expression of their interests.

The US is financing the Ukrainian state that has financially defaulted.
The US is using it's leverage over Ukrainian political and military structures to use Ukrainian soldiers as sacrifice for some idiotic notion of wearing down the Russian military (who is just plowing them into the dirt with unending artillery-shelling and missile strikes)

The Azov Nazis are not the wholesome democratic liberation fighters, they wanted to ethnically cleanse the east of Ukraine. The people in the Donbass region have the right liberate them self from that.

The Soviet system collapsed because of internal and external contradictions, but that doesn't change the fact that people lived better lives.

Capitalism in Russia was a humanitarian catastrophe on a similar level as a world war. They had like 12 million excess deaths.
Russia has seen a slow recovery since the early 2000s when Putin reintroduced more state-control over industry. Russia's economy has moved away from neoliberalism to a sort of state-capitalism. That is a leftward move economically.

The Ukraine proxy war has the consequence that Russia is going to recreate the industrial autonomy that the Soviet Union had.
This benefits Russian workers because that will create a big demand for labor.

No because Lend-lease was tactically and strategically inconsequential, The Soviet industrial complex was not lacking in output to inflict a punishing defeat on the Nazis all by it self, it was predominantly a diplomatic gesture to solidify the Allied forces alliance.

>The only proxies are the Russian ones in Donbas.

You are fool the US governments has admitted that the CIA is handling the Azov nazis, they even admitted the 2014 regime change operation, the CIA was bragging on their website about their success for color-revolution in Ukraine, like it was a corporate advertisement for a service.

>No one wants to be a ward of Russia, especially fucking Ukraine given their history.

The people living in Donbass feared being ethnically cleansed by an Azov offensive, ever since the Bandera Nazis managed to get enough political power to ban the Russian speaking minority in eastern Ukraine from speaking Russian. They split Ukraine, and the 8 years of civil war in the Donbass region that killed 10-20 thousand people made this split permanent. The Russians are not to blame for that. The US was helping the Bandera people, because they wanted them as an attack-dog against the Ukrainian political current that wanted to remain neutral towards the West and Russia.

>By labeling it a proxy war you [sectarian-idpol] boorishly try to make it seem like all the resistance to Russian imperialism is a complete fabrication of NATO

I'm calling it a proxy war because it is a proxy war, it's blatantly obvious that the US is arming and funding the Ukraine as a proxy force against Russia, even if you live in the mainstream media disinformation bubble, you should be able to see this.
Russia is not imperialist by the Marxist definition of imperialism. This proxy war between Russia and the US that is being waged in Ukraine and for them this is a security competition. The US using Ukraine with the goal of balkanizing Russia that is imperialism. Russian capitalism is about exporting resources , it is not in the imperial stage. And the US is clearly the imperial hedgemeon of the world, trying to destroy a rival power that will not comply with US demands.

>You all pulled this purity spiral shit over Rojava and smear anyone one who even looks at the US as muh proxy.

For the record I didn't think of Rojava as an US proxy, i only thought that it was foolish of Rojava to ally with the US. And i was proven correct because in the end the US abandoned Rojava and last time i checked they were allied with Assad as a semi-autonomous region of Syria against Turkey.

>Ukraine would have fought off the invasion whether the weapons came from China, North Korea or Argentina.

The proxy war has been raging since 2014, what Russia did in Feb this year was an escalation. If you call it an invasion you make it sound like all this shit began this year. And that's historic amnesia, that makes you sound like a liberal.
The fact is the the Ukrainians voted for Zelensky because he promised to end the Donbass civil-war and implement the Minsk agreement.
This would have given the Donbass political autonomy as part of Ukraine. Keeping the Ukrainian territory intact (with the exception of Crimea) and effectively ensure Ukraine would never become part of NATO. If the Ukrainian government had been able to do what it was elected to do, then this war would have long been over. But ever since the US regime-changed Ukraine, to make it their vassal-regime, that didn't happen. This was not an inevitable conflict, the US chose to stir up this shit.

>The Soviet system is what brought about the neoliberalism reforms.

No it didn't.
The Soviet system fell apart because of internal flaws and external pressure.
But the neo-liberal ideological injection came from The US. During the Yeltsin period, Chicago-school Neo-liberal economic hitmen and advisors were crawling all over Moscow, nudging the system towards the shock-doctrine massacre that came in the 90s.
You can blame the Soviet system for being weak enough to not assassinate these ghouls before they could unleash their economic terror, but you can't blame the ideological content on the Soviet system, they did not invent this shit.

>what external contradictions?

cold war arms race
trade embargo

>The stagnating economy they ran?

The funny thing is that during the period of great stagnation the Soviet economy grew by 3-5%/year with very low levels of debt.
It was stagnation compared to Stalin era 14 % growth rate, but in the west today we would call 3-5% economic growth an exceptionally strong performing economy.

>Hmmm it's almost like workers never actually owned the MoP in any meaningful way and the Politburo was booj in all but name.

It is true that the technical intelligentsia and the managerial strata of the late soviet period betrayed the working class because they thought they would be better off in a capitalist system. And it was the fault of the Soviet system to not produce a political force to prevent it. This is the main reason why cybernetic socialism now advocates for Athenian democracy instead of a party system. In that system the odds of such a betrayal would be statistically negligible. Neo-liberal infiltration could be ruled out, since the positions of power and decision-making are randomly selected. All you have to do is defend the random draw mechanism. Lotteries manage to do this. So that's not so hard.

>the booj reinvest in more capital instead expanding bureaucracy.

No capitalists do not like to invest capital into real production. When the Neo-liberal system came and capital was freed from constraints, they invested their capital in militarism and financial pyramid-schemes. The Soviets invested more into production in comparison.
The bureaucracy criticism of the Soviet Union is invalid now because corporations have more bureaucratic layers then the soviet union. The booj never hated bureaucracy, they just wanted privatized bureaucracy.

>Lend lease
Lend lease was a show of good faith by the US towards their WW2 ally, but it was negligible for the war effort. The Soviet Union was responsible for 80% of the Nazi losses, and with that an honest historic account of WW2 would be to say the Soviet Union defeated Hitler and the US,UK,France and others helped a little. Another thing is that the US entered relatively late in the War and one of their motivation was that they feared that the Soviet Union was going to control all of Europe, if they didn't join in smashing Hitler. And the reason why lend-lease is played up so much is to compensate for the US's late entry in the battle. The Soviets welcomed the help of the rest of the allied forces, but it could have crushed Fascism on it's own. It's also a little bit of a cope for the fact that in WW2 the US played second fidel.

>Really the US Army but yeah I'm perfectly aware of that. But peripheral fash presence in the government doesn't justify an invasion that killed thousands of civilians and made millions homeless.

The US should not have trained and armed a proxy force in Ukraine, that forced the Russians to go in, the fact that they were fascists just makes it worse. The US initiated the Ukraine proxy war, they are to blame for all the casualties. If you blame the Russians you are in effect granting the US the right to fund, arm and train armed proxy forces in other countries. That normative order is not acceptable.

>And yet nothing coming close to an ethnic cleansing happened

You could say the Russians intervened before it could happen.

>Oh puh-leze, Russia took Dombass and papered over it with the handful of separatists they could find.

The US created the Donbass "seperatists" by installing a Government in Kiev that made discriminatory laws. The Donbass region population sides with Russia because, the rest of Ukraine told them they were second class citizens, that spoke the wrong language. Russia told them they could have their autonomous regions that they mostly govern them self, and apply for membership in the Russian Federation to become equal citizens. Russia made a better offer, and the Azov goons reacted to that by shooting mortar grenades into residential Areas.

>Yeah they're arming them, doesn't make them an out an out proxy.

The Us overthrew the Ukrainian government and they started integrating the Ukrainian military into NATO via the Bandera Azov axis. Of course that's a proxy force. Big NATO shill energy denying material reality that blatantly

>The whole proxy meme is a right wing talking point.

It's the anti-imperialist view, left-right bourgeois political directions have nothing to do with this.

>Russia invaded Ukraine to keep the newly discovered oil

This is not a resource war, Russia has so much natural resources and so many global customers that want to buy those resources that it makes no sense for them to invade Ukraine for that. It's is doubtful that the profits from those resources would even be enough to cover the military costs. It's a security competition.

A small contingent of light troops is not enough to dispute the results, international observers did not report electoral tampering or intimidation efforts, so it's probably legit.
>Regardless a part of a country doesn't get to vote itself out like that.
Usually this is correct, when people try to do that they usually get crushed, but in this case Russia wanted that warm-water port in Sevastopol, giving them a motivation to enforce the result of the referendum.

>Lend lease was a show of good faith by the US towards their WW2 ally, but it was negligible for the war effort.
This is such a colossal cope, even with the entirety of the US' economy behind the war effort the Nazis would take an additional 4 years to defeat.
And why are you moving the goalposts anyway tankie. I thought just taking aid for the US was enough to make Ukraine a proxy. All of a sudden the aid has to be "decisive" even though it totaled to 180 billion in inflation adjusted dollars, and came at a time when the Soviets were losing.
You're just parroting long dead apparatchiks copes about how Lend Lease didn't make any difference.
>The Soviet Union was responsible for 80% of the Nazi losses,
LMAO, where the fuck did you get that bullshit number.
What is a fact is that the US fought more on the front lines than the USSR, you know, where victory for the war was actually determined. But Russia did suffer the most casualties, in part due to them absolutely not giving a single fuck about their men and sending severely under equipped soldiers into the meat grinder with little effort given to adapt.
>And the reason why lend-lease is played up so much is to compensate for the US's late entry in the battle.
It's also played up because it's the Allies that won the war, not the Soviets. By many measures the Soviets were handled the war absolutely retardedly, and it didn't turn around UNTIL US intervention.
That's the other reason people play it up, because it is a comeback story which is compelling to people.
>The US should not have trained and armed a proxy force in Ukraine, t
Russian aggression against a poor vulnerable state is what pushed the Ukrainian gov to rely on fascists. They would not have done so if they weren't desperate.
>You could say the Russians intervened before it could happen
You could also say it's a total bullshit cover story from a country that thinks a sovereign country belongs to them.
>The US created the Donbass "seperatists" by installing a Government in Kiev that made discriminatory laws.
Give me a fucking break, and the language laws weren't even harsh, and I thought tankies hated idpol, but for some reason you're all very concerned about Russian identity. And it was passed because Russia was fomenting separatist furor, which has a centuries long history of Russification of Ukraine.
>Russia told them they could have their autonomous regions that they mostly govern them self, and apply for membership in the Russian Federation
Hahaha and hows that working out for them now? They're being used as meat shields for Putin and his quagmire, some autonomy.
>The Us overthrew the Ukrainian government
LMAO, they over threw Putin's puppet. And you once again decontextualize the situation. This only happened after Crimea and Putin installing a puppet in Belarus. What was NATO supposed to do? Let Putin do whatever the fuck he wanted. And you exaggerate their involvement. There was plenty of grassroots support for the Western gov especially after oil was discovered. No one, and I mean no one, wants to join one of the poorest, most corrupted countries with one of the worst wealth inequality gaps. No one under 40 even fucking remembers the USSR, so you can stop capping about how this is all some resurrection of the Comintern.
>It's the anti-imperialist view,
It's funny how often this mirrors reactionary Republican views.
>This is not a resource war,
You're right, resources are actually somewhat scarce, it's a war over market monopolies. Russia is so backwards it's only real revenue stream is oil, without that they face a true existential crisis. Which is the MATERIAL reason they are risking so much on this hackneyed war. It has nothing to do with your bloviating righteous indignation about security, land claims or ethnic tensions, Putin doesn't give a fuck about Russians in Russia, much less one's in Ukraine, kek.

There is a lot of historical revisionism floating around, that was created during the first cold war. It sought to change the narrative around WW2 to minimize the Soviet Achievements, and minimize the skill of the Soviet military and the power of Soviet industrial might. The USSR was objectively the primary force in defeating the Nazis. I can understand why this type of historical revisionism was done during the first cold war when the Soviet Union was a rival, but why are you doing this now ? Now it is is just vandalism of history.

>Russian aggression against a poor vulnerable state is what pushed the Ukrainian gov to rely on fascists.

The liberal goes mask off fascist collaborator.
You are telling me that you feel it's ok for the US to use fascist proxy forces for it's imperial goals of subduing Russia.
I find this morally reprehensible but even from a position of callous imperial opportunism that makes no sense. The fascists always loose, they still believe in super-weapons , just like the Nazis did. There was the magic infantry rocket launchers, than it was that one drone model, and then the multiple rocket launcher truck. Meanwhile the Russians are using standard combined arms warfare tactics, with bog-standard industrial weapons and they are crushing it. One thing I will never understand is why the fascists are sending so many of their fighters into unwinnable battles. They are marching men into their deaths just to hold irrelevant ground for a few days longer. They don't seem to understand that warfare is about destroying enemy forces not about conquering ground.
I got side-tracked ranting, sorry. The point was: why isn't the US working with sensible people in Ukraine, that don't come with fascistic bullshit attached. In the Donbass region Russia is working with social democrats, with communists and even some of the liberals and they are winning.

>Give me a fucking break, and the language laws weren't even harsh

The people in the eastern Ukraine cared enough about this stuff to create their own people's republics and secede from Ukraine. So you are wrong.
Also liberals don't get a break with cultural shit anymore, not since you lot went apeshit about "cultural genocide" with the Uyiguhrs in China (who buy the way has state funded schools and that teach their uyiguhr language and cultural heritage, the Chinese even translate official documents and public signage for the purpose of cultural accommodation)

Multipolarity will help the working class in the imperial core. Because the imperial bourgeoisie will loose class-power relative to the workers at home if they can't dominate other countries anymore. Workers in the imperial core could not do effective class struggle because the imperial bourgeoisie could just send their industries into another country and exploit other workers. In the multi-polar world it gets harder for the imperial bourgeoisie to use the hole world as a reserve army of labor, and that means if the workers at home strike they have leverage again. The multipolar world also helps the workers in the periphery because, they will be able to have domestic industrial development that helps raising their quality of life.

The "tankie" position is stupid. None of these states like Russia or China should be supported by pro-revolutionaries in my opinion. Whining about "US imperialism or Israeli oppression" falls right out my ear like when liberals whine about Uyghurs or Ukraine. We can't do shit about it, we can't do anything to destroy capitalism right now, we're just sitting back and watching. If multipolarity comes about it won't help the proletariat, it only brings about the possibility of these capitalist states bankrupting themselves and taking many missteps like World War 1.

"tankie" is a synonym for socialist or communist, liberals use that word to describe people that champion the interests of the working class It's a badge of honor, we should all aspire to be more "tankie".

You should critically support anti-imperialist states like China and Russia, they weaken the imperial system that is not only enforcing capitalism around the world but also specifically the Neo-liberalism variant of capitalism, that is extra destructive.

China is a socialist country. They still have a lot of capitalist economic features, that is a legacy of China's past where the socialist revolution happened in a very backwards economy that was mostly a peasant economy. The Chinese political system has proven resilient to bourgeois take over, and it does not sell political power to capitalists. China is also the principle counter-weight in the international sphere that moderates the excesses of the US empire.

US imperialism should be opposed very strongly (with as much whining as you please)
Israel as a proto-fascist state that enforces apartheid should also be opposed very strongly.

Multipolarity simply is the result of the crumbling of the US empire do to self-inflicted harm from Neo-liberal mismanagement of the economy. It will restore a great deal of political power to workers around the world, by weakening the ability of imperial capital to force labor into international wage competition.

I still cringe when libs call me a tankie and I am rather livbertarian in my approach to marxism, but, you raise a good point none the less. I disagree that we should unquestioningly support states and countries even if they are socialist to some degree. I don't think that their mere being socialist demands uncritical support. Critical support is important for the foundations we ourselves wish to build and construct as we move into the future. For example, I support china and agree that it is socialist, but, I disagree with it's track record of human rights abuses.

I'm sure some one will call me a lib, but, my point still stands. We should be critical in our support so we do not make the same mistakes.

That is literally their (NATO, US, EU) goal. They keep saying how Afghanistan war was what led to the dissolution of the Soviet Union. They were hoping this war was going to bleed Russia, paired with the sanctions it was going to cause misery and make the people revolt. Again, this is literally their publicly stated goal.
>Putin uses the fash biker gang "The Night Wolves" as his personal army, they run security for him and crush dissent all while being above the law.
Maybe that is what is needed to run Russia. Putin has to control and outmanouver all the oligarchs, mafia bosses, cartels, criminal organisations, etc. Yes, the material reality of Russia results in Putin acquiring protection and "muscle" from the right-wing. I don't agree with it, I don't like it, but it doesn't make Russia fascist. Making a Neo-Nazi battalion part of your regular army does, however.
>Russia is not winning
They have so far:
>established a land bridge to Crimea, and turned on the water from the Dniepr to the people of Crimea
>liberated Luhansk completely, there are no Ukrainian forces on the territory of the LPR
The only thing left for them to do is liberate the DPR, and their initial goals will have been achieved. The Ukrainians are in their last line of defense in Donetsk, the Kramatorsk-Sloviansk line, and the Allied forces are already near Sloviansk. Once this defensive line falls, there is nothing behind it except flat lands and steppe for hundreds of kilometers.
>not even the sure to follow insurgency if they ever do manage to win.
Ukrainians have largely left DPR. And now Zelensky has called for a mandatory evacuation of Ukrainians in LPR. All the ethnic Russians and those who trust the Russian regime more will stay behind. Just like it happened in Mariupol and DPR.
>You are sooooooo out of touch with reality.
Your "reality" is constructed and given to you by the mass media.
>that was all Russia covert subversion.
Did Russia ban Russian in schools in Ukraine? Ukraine banned all languages from being taught in school that were taught there until then (Russian, Hungarian, Romanian) and made Ukrainian the only official language of Ukraine. When the ethnic Russians in the east protested against it, the Ukrainians started killing them.
>China is oppressing Uyguhr's

Yes, "Western", predominantly white, anglo and historically imperialist countries. Africa, S. America don't give a fuck about Ukraine or support Russia.

I'm not even a "tankie", but there's no Z flag and Soviet tanks are kicking Ukronazi ass right now so it seemed appropriate.

lol, where was the international outrage when US and NATO forces invaded Afghanistan? Oh wait, the "International community" was doing the invading. What about Iraq? What about when NATO destroyed Libya? I guess open slave markets don't evoke the same reaction as tanks.

"International community" refers to the "Western" world. Countries in Africa are not part of the international community, for example. The support Eritrea, Mali, Angola, and others that have shown support for Russia don't count, because according to you and your ilk, brown and black people don't have agency.

lol, I knew you were going to bring up the anti-war protests. You've been programmed, so you're predictable.

Before I address Iraq, tell me about Afghanistan (2 years before Iraq) and tell me about Libya, you have conveniently forgot about those two and jumped on the one that you thought was convenient to your position.

Now, onto the "anti-war protests":

What did the protests accomplish? War in Iraq went on for nearly 20 years. Isn't it funny how the protests fizzled out after Obama was elected? It's almost as if the anti-Bush protests were a psyop to get Obama. elected. After 2008, no protests and wars go for another decade. So what was the point you were trying to make, again?

Even if I accept that the protests against Iraqi war were completely organic, they are different to the reaction to Ukraine because in Ukraine's case, the outrage is being driven by governments. Which Western government protested the war in Iraq? France? The same France that later went into Libya to secure 25% of oil rights for Total oil company.

>zoom

Ironic, since you've learned about the Iraqi war protests from fucking Wikipedia, while I actually attended the ones in my country (we were protesting my country's involvement).

Again, you Ukronazi supporters are shown to have a simplistic view of the situation, lacking historical context or nuance.

I bet you don't even acknowledge that Ukraine has been shelling Donbas since 2014. No, to you this war started February 24 this year. lol

QUESTION FOR YOU UKROFAGS
If flags, patches and symbols are pure symbolism and mean nothing, then why, all things being equal, would you support the side that fights under a Swastika, rather than the one that fights under the Soviet victory banner and hammer and sickle? Do you hate communists so much, you'd rather ally with bona fide nazis over LARPing Russians?

Ukraine is not part of NATO or EU, yet they have received nearly $100B in various aid. Maybe you're well-off and you don't rely on social programs and the welfare state, but many people do. Throwing billions down the drain (literally, because all the military equipment gets kalibr'd by Russia before it even reaches the east of Ukraine) is only going to result in more austerity measures in the EU. First things that get cut are pensions and other social programs.

Then Ukraine shouldn't have been flirting with NATO. Ukraine and Russia share 2000+km of border. There's no mountains, or rivers, just open plains. When Nazi Germany invaded the Soviet Union, they went through Ukraine. If NATO was to invade Russia, they'd go through Ukraine. Ukraine could have declared itself neutral and said they'd never join NATO. But they didn't, they continued to kill civilians in Donbas while saying they'll join NATO. Look what Turkey is doing to the Kurds in Rojava, Turkey is a NATO member and nobody can stop them.
>You cannot invade a country over what they might do
MIGHT?? War in Donbas started in 2014. Here's wikipedia since you love it so much, even they don't deny that war has been going on since 2014.

>just like that war it's really over oil
Here come the reddit talking points. Russia is literally called "the gas station of Europe" (you say as much yourself), Russia has plenty of oil. Ukraine is the 51st country by proven oil reserves, they have less oil than Romain, Italy, or Denmark.

>At the convention, a majority of UFPJ’s leadership and featured speakers argued forcefully that the antiwar movement should credit itself for helping get Obama elected and should be encouraged that the peace/antiwar movement had—finally—an ally in the White House.

>“We have elected the most progressive mainstream politician imaginable,” declared William McNary, president of USAction/TrueMajority, at the opening plenary. McNary went on to describe Obama as our “quarterback” and that the movement’s task is to “block for” him. On the same panel, Antonia Juhasz, an activist and author of The Bush Agenda, argued, “Barack Obama has a fundamentally different approach to Iraq and the war in Afghanistan. He has a fundamentally different approach to imperialism.”


https://isreview.org/issue/63/antiwar-movement-and-obama/index.html

>A third possibility, though, is that the election of Barack Obama sapped the energy of the U.S. antiwar movement. Reihan Salam points to a 2011 paper by sociologists Michael T. Heaney and Fabio Rojas, who find that antiwar protests shrunk very quickly after Obama took office in 2008 — mainly because Democrats were less likely to show up:


<Drawing upon 5,398 surveys of demonstrators at antiwar protests, interviews with movement leaders, and ethnographic observation, this article argues that the antiwar movement demobilized as Democrats, who had been motivated to participate by anti-Republican sentiments, withdrew from antiwar protests when the Democratic Party achieved electoral success, if not policy success in ending the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.


>Heaney and Rojas begin by puzzling over a paradox. Obama ran as an antiwar candidate, but his first few years in office were rather different: "As president, Obama maintained the occupation of Iraq and escalated the war in Afghanistan. The antiwar movement should have been furious at Obama’s 'betrayal' and reinvigorated its protest activity. Instead, attendance at antiwar rallies declined precipitously and financial resources available to the movement dissipated."


>But even though the wars were far from ended, the two researchers find that the size of antiwar protests rapidly dwindled between 2007 and 2009 anyway:

>Excluding Russia’s gas reserves in Asia, Ukraine today holds the second biggest known gas reserves in Europe. As of late 2019, known Ukrainian reserves amounted to 1.09 trillion cubic meters of natural gas, second only to Norway’s known resources of 1.53 trillion cubic meters. Yet, these enormous reserves of energy remain largely untapped. Today, Ukraine has a low annual reserve usage rate of about 2 percent. Moreover, more active exploration may yield previously undiscovered gas fields, which would further increase the overall volume of Ukraine’s deposits.

Do I have to teach you EVERYTHING? I'm gonna start billing you soon.

>Proven reserves are those reserves claimed to have a reasonable certainty (normally at least 90% confidence) of being recoverable under existing economic and political conditions, with existing technology. Industry specialists refer to this as "P90" (that is, having a 90% certainty of being produced). Proven reserves are also known in the industry as "1P".[10][11]


>Proven reserves are further subdivided into "proven developed" (PD) and "proven undeveloped" (PUD).[11][12] PD reserves are reserves that can be produced with existing wells and perforations, or from additional reservoirs where minimal additional investment (operating expense) is required.[12] PUD reserves require additional capital investment (e.g., drilling new wells) to bring the oil to the surface.[10][12]

>that's not what you asked, you asked why there were no protests, and not only were there protests, they were the largest ever.
bad bot. Is the software broken? I have addressed this. The protests against Ukraine war and protests against Iraq war are different, have different class character and are driven differently. As I said before, twice, even if I accept that Iraq war protests were 100% organic and grassroots, that makes them even more different than the opposition to the war in Ukraine. Because the protests to the war in Ukraine are the farthest from "grassroots" you can get.

Good post anon, there was a massive propaganda blitz in the west, combined with various forms of censorship of anti-war people and anti-imperialist leftists. That made the imperial propaganda appear a little more popular than it actually is. It does not mean that they have actual consensus in the population, it just means that you hear fewer opposing opinions. Most people will likely agree that we shouldn't senselessly antagonize Russia by putting too much Nato gear and too many Nato trained troops on their border, and they also don't like paying more for gas and food so that US led imperialists can screw with the Russians.

The Ukranian NATO outpost they were building with the help of Fascists and Fascist collaborators, was relabeled as a fight for democracy. When you consider that the Ukrainian government banned all 11 opposition parties (long before the Russian military entered the picture) it just makes it more striking how much the imperial media has disconnected from reality.

They even tried to create a synthetic anti-war position that promoted the idea of sending more weapons to prolong a war. Because war is peace apparently.

The most telling thing in the propaganda blitz was the extreme focus on Putin psychology. They tried to exclude analysis of anything that could be considered relevant context. Because then the maidan regime change operation comes up, and the decade of the Donbass civil war comes up, and the fact that Nato is creeping closer to Russia comes up as well and than the narrative falls apart.

I think the weakest point in their narrative however is that they are denying that this is a proxy war, it's so obvious now because it's no longer covert CIA handlers training Azov fighters, but it's Washington and Brussels basically funding the entire Ukrainian government and supplying military equipment. That makes it undeniable.

I think that we also can win the narrative battle that sanctions are weapons of war. Because they kill large numbers of people. The prediction is that 50 million people will suffer starvation as a result of US and EU sanctions fucking with international grain and fertilizer trade for several months, which will cut harvests for an entire season in half, and that will likely cause multiple times the deaths than the war in Ukraine. When the pen has more collateral damage than the sword.

The people who went full "Slava Unkraini" with hoisting the blue and yellow flag, were almost entirely comprised of people from whom "sancflation" did not have any noticeable decline in life-style. They are also the ones that believe the idea that the West can wage a war of attrition against Russia, because they feel like they them self have enough wealth in reserve to play games like that. For these people politics is personal. I don't know if it is possible to get these people to look at material reality, that doesn't immediately affect them. If you talk to them about things that aren't related to them self, they treat it as a debate game about a fictional franchise.

I receive your praise as a genuine socialist with gratitude, i forgive you your liberal vernacular, i know you can't help it.

The proxy war in the Ukraine could have been prevented if the US hadn't overthrown the Ukrainian government and started training the fasho proxy forces. It would have been easy and cheap to leave the Ukraine as a neutral country between power blocks, that would have been the way to preserve actually existing peace. Enforcing the Minsk agreements would have been a way to end the proxy war before it escalated into industrial warfare.

The Russians have made several overtures for a negotiated peace with realistic proposals (at least for the sensible factions that had an interest in keeping the peace)

All of that has been cast into the Wind and it looks like realistic and actually existing peace will come with a Russian peace dictate.

Your idea that we can only have piece on US imperial terms is just blackmail, it's not a realistic way to create actually existing peace.

In this war the wholesome rebels that are fighting against the evil Empire are the Donetsk and Lugansk people's republic militias. You can tell because they are allied with the communists not the fascists.

This Ukraine conflict looks like it's going to be a decades long gorilla warfare, anon. Strap in. But yes, Russia entered a quagmire in Ukraine, a war of choice by Putin. And it doesn't look like it's going to end well for Russia. The only way for Russia to really conquer Ukraine like Putin wants is a general mobilization draft of the Russian population. But doing that is a big risk since all the railways that connect the non-Slav, eastern ethnic cannon fodder regions of the Russian Federation like Dagestan and Buryatia intersect at Moscow. And having hundreds of thousands or millions of armed, disgruntled conscripts being sent to fight a bloody, protracted, unpopular invasion (that only potentially benefits the oligarchs) stop at Moscow proper is a recipe for a storming of the Kremlin, Putin getting hung from a lamppost like Mussolini by those conscripts type situation.

We are now once more at that stage of denial, because in territorial terms Russia appears to be making only small insignificant gains. It looks as if not much is going on. But in reality the Russians are conducting the most intense artillery shelling of the war yet, they are softening up the last fortified region in the Donbass. Ukrainian losses are probably higher now than in any of the previous battles. Once the Ukrainian positions are turned into mush, you will see a large push of infantry and armored divisions making big gains very rapidly. Probably 100k Ukrainian troops will be cut off from resupplies and will likely have to surrender.

What people like you don't understand is that Russia's goal is to destroy Ukrainian forces. And the Ukrainian military seems to be stupid enough to send all their fighters to die while attempting to hold positions under Russian artillery shelling, or maybe they are instructed to do so by their puppet masters in the US. What ever the cause, this will completely destroy any Ukrainian ability to mount any kind of attack after Russian military operations end. The big guerilla army you are talking about will not materialize because all the people that could potentially become guerilla troops are currently sacrificed as Ukrainian proxy forces on behalf of the US.

>Russia entered a quagmire in Ukraine, a war of choice by Putin

Great man theory of history bullshit. Wars don't happen on the whims of political leaders. This happened because of a geopolitical contest between the US and Russia. The US was clearly the instigator when they started this war in 2014 by conducting a color revolution regime change during the Euromaidan. The US tried to combine economic war (sanctions) and deployment of proxy forces. Their goal was to force Russia into a costly military confrontation with US controlled Ukrainian proxy forces while squeezing the Russian economy. And that backfired, because the Russian economy didn't break and now the Russians are also scoring military victories, while the western economies fall into recession.

By obscuring reality you generate support for prolonging a war that has already been lost. And the longer this goes on, the worse it's going to get (for the west).

I don't know how far the Russians are planning to go with this, but after all of this is done they will presumably open Ukrainian territory up to foreign investment (probably to countries they deem not hostile). I know that the Dprk has already made the offer to send people to help with the post-war reconstruction.

There's no helping you. I'm only glad that Russia is going to DESTROY what's left of the Ukrop nazi army and has bombed the Fourth Reich 20 years back, making them incapable of waging war.

How does that prove they are fascist and by extension Putin and by extension Russia? You're grasping at straws here. Is every "criminal outlaw biker gang" fascist? What makes them fascist? The fact they do crime?

I'm sure it all makes sense in your head, but I am telling you now that it doesn't make sense once you say it out loud.

In every picture you've posted about the biker gang, I see a biker gang. I don't see swastikas, I don't see nazi runes, I don't see the Sonnenrad. What I do see is the St. George colours and the Russian flag.

Here's a description of Hitler's brownshirts.
<The SA were the Sturmabteilung, meaning 'assault division'. The group were also known as the Brownshirts or Storm Troopers. It was a violent paramilitary group attached to the Nazi Party in pre-World War Two Germany.
<The SA was instrumental in the Nazi’s rise to power yet played a diminished role during the Second World War. The Brownshirts are infamous for their operation outside of the law and their violent intimidation of Germany’s leftists and Jewish population.

<However, it was the SA’s thuggish vigilantism, independence from the regular army (which caused hostility between the two), and anti-capitalist sentiments of its leader, Ernst Röhm, that ultimately caused its undoing.


<the SA functioned as a ‘security’ force at Nazi rallies


The Night Wolves are a paramilitary force (they helped in the invasion of Crimea) that operate outside the law, act as both security for Putin and as shocktroopers against his opponents.

Who cares about any of that moralfaggotry though?

This war comes from the US being progressively more butthurt and militaristic towards BRICS+ as they get capitalist competition to their hegemony.
There is no lesser evil here because there is no choice to make. Either the US/NATO will successfully subjugate BRICS and reset history to the 90s or they will not and we live in interesting multipolartimes. That is, either history progresses or it doesn't.

What you think about Putin and the heckin' valid Ukrainerinos doesn't change anything at all. No anti war movement short of revolution could either(and commies taking over in Russia would still need to fight NATO so do the math), the contradictions that brought this conflict would generate a need for a different front and pretext for the US to partition the world.

No it's not. It's just part of the pretext. Don't get me wrong, Russia *was* compelled to act in 2014 by Ukraine sending deathsquads of literal Nazis and all manner of psychos to terrorize the southeast. But that was also a calculated play by NATO, which wanted to carry out the separation of Europe and the sanction war before. So they gave a push to Crimea to get a solid foothold and helped the LDPR (and all but took control of their isntitutions) more covertly.

It's just that Russia is a lot more prepared now. So when Ukraine started making proxy noises abount Minsk2 and how stronk they were with the new NATO weapons, Russia took the initiative. This is still a play of two ofc, both sides know very well whats going on and it has nothing to do with Ukrainians , their clay, their crops, their coal, their gas, or their lives. For example just as the US started calling the date of the invasion, the UN reports that the Donbass got quite the shelling, increasing in intensity as Russia failed to meet the set dates.

If Zelesnkyy wasn't a NATO puppet he could have pursued diplomacy and Minsk2 because Russia/BRICS have no rush, they can wait while the US hegemony fades and the dollar weakens, its the US/NATO that needed to provoke a cold war. And since Russia knows this, and the previous developments show that they will go for it, they just played their cards in the most advantageous way for their interests.

And hey if Ukraine doesn't have the very very entrenched Nazis in all of their institutions and private enterprises , as the *western media* was showing during Poroshenko, then that's easy, they only have to denounce Bandera and show the thousands upon thousands of literal Nazis that have been purged, along all the politicians, the oligarchs and their militias and such.

Surely they did that as soon as Zelesnkyy's party took power right? Or was just the media shutting up and pretending everything is fine once their man was in?
it can be true(to an extent jfc Russian propaganda paints it like they are fighting WW2 again) and also a pretext.

Your timeline is still incomplete. During Maidan coup there was a Nazi massacre of Yanukovych sympathizers in the Kiev Trade Unions Building, and then not long after that another massacre of a bus of pro-government protestors returning to their homes in Crimea. This sparked enough outrage to begin the Crimean referendum on rejoining Russia. In spite of attempts to delegitimize the referendum before it was even held–including the OSCE rejecting invitations to observe it–it still had dozens of international observer groups and exit polls demonstrated no significant fraud in the resulting overwhelming support for rejoining Russia.

Yes, that's not the same as banning the language outright. And this is after a long history of Russification, two insurgencies that lead to territorial loses and an impeding invasion that we are now living though.

Oh STFU, it was all during an attempted Russian takeover of yet more Ukrainian land.
The bottom line is that Ukraine already suffered two imperialist incursions by Russia. And Russia was using covert means to undermine the Ukrainian gov and foment dissent. That aggression is why Ukraine did what it did, not because of some imaginary pogrom that exists only in your tankie head.

Wew this thread suddenly got a ton of activity in past few days after being slow for months. Especially after tank flag zoomer lolcow started spamming his wall-of-text Putin simp rants.

My theory is that the HIMARS which Ukraine started using in past weeks have blown away tons of Russian ammo depots in occupied Ukraine and proven effective as a strategic game changer. When I started reading those reports and seeing the videos of Russian ammo depots up in flames I asked myself: "I wonder how much putinoid/Z-fag/tankie seethe the HIMARS are causing?" And, well, I guess now I have my answer.

A question to the anon who mixes posting anime fanservice with ripping tankie sophists a new asshole: Are you good at making memes?

I was wondering if someone can make a meme where on right side is crying cope wojak wearing Russia military uniform with Russian flag in foreground with destroyed, flaming Russian ammo depot on background of right side and caption that says: "Nooo…you can't just use NATO HIMARS! + *insert wall of text, mental gymnastics cope about 'why Russia is supposed justified to invade Ukraine for 'le security' and 'le hohols' and stuff*. While on left side of meme is wojak with the huge teeth scary grin on his face wearing a Ukraine uniform with Ukraine flag in foreground, with HIMARS in background of left side, and caption on left side that says concisely: "I am defending my country" + "HIMARS go Boom!"

STAGGERINGLY BUTT-FUCKING WRONG
>Excluding Russia’s gas reserves in Asia, Ukraine today holds the second biggest known gas reserves in Europe. As of late 2019, known Ukrainian reserves amounted to 1.09 trillion cubic meters of natural gas, second only to Norway’s known resources of 1.53 trillion cubic meters. Yet, these enormous reserves of energy remain largely untapped. Today, Ukraine has a low annual reserve usage rate of about 2 percent. Moreover, more active exploration may yield previously undiscovered gas fields, which would further increase the overall volume of Ukraine’s deposits.

Your ignorance is showing. Countries don't just join the EU like it's the fucking library. Countries require a complete rehaul of their laws and regulations so they are compatible with EU. Good luck with Ukronazis accepting gay marriage. The country must also not be engaged in a conflict or have any border disputes. Not to mention cracking down on corruption. Ukraine could hope to join in 20 years, maybe. It usually takes a country 7-10 years to join the EU, and that's when they are already mostly compatible, they spend 7 years ironing out details. And you think Ukraine can join just like that? You live in a fantasy world, maybe Dumbledore can say a nice word to Ursula on behalf of Zelensky.

You dipshit, they were taking the first steps in joining the EU in 2014. That's why it was stopped by Putin's puppet Yanukovich.
Here's a recounting of what actually happened in 2014. And how close Ukraine was to starting their integration in to the EU.

>In November 2013, Yanukovych was due to travel to Vilinius, Lithuania, for a summit with the EU where he was widely expected to sign an agreement that would have set out a framework for Ukraine’s relationship with the European bloc, including preferential terms of trade. The agreement would have set Ukraine on a clear path for eventual EU membership. (emphasis mine)


>But the agreement and Ukraine’s move closer to Europe angered Putin, who engaged in a campaign of economic pressure against Ukraine: cutting off energy supplies to the country and blocking almost all imports from Ukraine. This resulted in a 25% reduction in Ukrainian exports and pushed the country’s economy into recession. The Kremlin publicly threatened to drive Ukraine into default on its sovereign debt if it went ahead with the EU trade deal.


>On Nov. 21, Yanukovych succumbed to this pressure and suddenly reversed course, saying he would not sign the EU alignment agreement, although he still favored eventual Ukrainian membership in the EU. Instead, he would accept a package of Russian financial assistance to meet the country’s debt obligations.

The funny thing about that was that Yanukovich first negotiated with the IMF before he asked the Russian federation for an offer. The IMF made brutal austerity demands for investment, while the Russian offer for investment was a better deal without the requirement to axe social services,labor legislation and selling off state owned enterprises.

The NATO side is literally, openly threatening, in the UN security council meetings, mind you, to cause a nuclear disaster if Russia doesn't stop winning the war.

And Ukraine's government is perfectly okay with damaging their most important power source causing a nuclear disaster on their own land, on their own people, because Washington says so.

The Allies have liberated Pisky

Allied forces have liberated Pisky after days of intense battles. The battle for Bakhmut continues, but the Allied soldiers are in high spirits, spurred on by a series of victories in the last month.

The defenses of Nazi Ukraine will not hold for long. S&P has declared yesterday that Ukraine has defaulted on its debt, and the central bank of Ukraine has said that it haa already sold off a large part of its gold reserves. It seems like the armies of Fourth Reich will be on the run soon.

Europe's and USA's support is weaning as they are running out of military surplus to send. US will run out of surplus HIMAR rockets in a few months. The winter will start in three months, at which point Europeans will not be happy about sending billions to Ukraine.

Zelenskyy needs to do something quick, they need to recapture Crimea and take back Donbas by November or Ukraine stands no chance.

SALIVA ZUCCHINI!

Putin’s fascists: the Russian state’s long history of cultivating homegrown neo-Nazis
>Many commentators have already debunked Russian President Vladimir Putin’s absurd claim to be waging war to “de-nazify” Ukraine.

>Some have pointed out the far right received only 2% of the vote in Ukraine’s 2019 parliamentary elections, far less than in most of Europe. Others have drawn attention to Ukraine’s Jewish president, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, and the efforts of the Ukrainian state to protect minorities like Crimean Tatars and LGBTQ+ people, who are subject to brutal persecution in Russia.


>What has received less coverage is the Putin regime’s own record of collaboration with far-right extremists. Even as Russian diplomats condemned “fascists” in the Baltic states and Kremlin propagandists railed against imaginary “Ukronazis” in power in Kyiv, the Russian state was cultivating its own homegrown Nazis.
