Scottish rock group Primal Scream superimposed swastikas combined with Stars of David over the eyes of Netanyahu & former Israeli defense minister Gallant, as well as other global politicians, in on-stage graphics during a Monday night concert, leading a Jewish security group to file a police complaint.

They were playing at the historic Roundhouse venue in north London & performed their 2000 single “Swastika Eyes.”

They will still be sorrounded by NATO after conquering Ukraine, not an improvement really.

I'm guessing a mixture of desperation, and trying to outlive the west (if they can just grab enough resources for their needs until the west collapses, they can deal with other issues later). Still, I can't support the invasion. If they could just stop being assholes, they would have more allies, people liked Putin, and he improved Russia's reputation before the Ukraine war (and they even somewhat overlooked the Crimea invasion).

No one does. War is an extension of diplomacy

The old man wants to feel like a powerful leader before he dies, and he doesn't care what happens afterwards

I dont subscribe to great man theory understanding of history

[–] MummysLittleBloodSlut@lemmy.blahaj.zone -1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

That's okay, I only want you to subscribe to great man theory of dictatorships. You can subscribe to a different theory for other kinds of government.

I subscribe to historical materialism. Seeing as you think history is driven by great man I understand why you thought the questions I gave you are sealioning in your eyes

Wow, you're really bad at listening. I'm glad I didn't answer those questions

History isnt driven by decisions of a single person. Nation states have interests and their leaders act accordingly. If Putin hits his head and rediscovers Marx, the oligarchy will get rid of him.

Me too because it would've been great man theory brainrot anyway

The old man wants to feel like a powerful leader

And the other old man wants to feel like a powerful leader

And the other other old man wants to feel like a powerful leader

All the old men in control of Russia want to feel like powerful leaders

What about the young comedian that wants to feel like a powerful leader? And his fascist friends that want to feel like powerful leaders? and what about the cabal of pedofile leaders in the US that support him?

Not a useful framework to analyse. But you do you
