Zizek calls himself a leftist and of course then says a bunch of horrific liberal bullshit. What a joke of a man.

they won't even give Ukraine modern fighter planes because of the risk of blowback, I think there's no risk that they'll actually hand nukes over to their pet nazis

[-] FlakesBongler@hexbear.net 21 points 9 months ago

Won't give them long range missiles either for the same reasons

[-] anarchoilluminati@hexbear.net 13 points 9 months ago

Yeah, you're right. That's good.

because of the risk of blowback

When has that ever stopped the imperialists before?

[-] nat_turner_overdrive@hexbear.net 10 points 9 months ago

Well right now it's stopping them from providing longer range missiles/ballistics, EW aircraft, stealth fighters, non-export Abrams tanks, naval vessels, de-mining vehicles, etc

Lmao the US empire is getting cold feet these days if a little blowback is putting them off. Is this what their excuse of "escalation" is really covering for? I feel like there's more to it that just blowback, because arming and supporting fascists is something they love doing.

If they spend all their wunderwaffen at the Ukraine store, Ukraine will still lose and then they won't get to spend their wunderwaffen in the Yemen store, or the Palestine store, or the China store, and I think the top levels of the military and intelligence apparatus aren't so far gone that they believe Russia's nuclear missiles don't work

That's probably it michael-laugh

It's not because of the risk of blowback but it's inevitability. The west knows Ukraine will have to capitulate eventually to Russia. At the very least give over the Donbas region. Maybe more. They aren't in a winning position and everyone knows it except libs on the internet. If they were hopeful it would have been done.

What we'll do is arm other NATO nations more heavily.
