The enemy is both strong and weak. I wonder where I’ve heard that before…
“All the people’s money is stolen to fund their endless wars! They are stolen so much that 18% of their populations remains houseless! The rest are price gouged most of their income! They’re dictators also price gouge healthcare! 45,000 are killed every year because they have nothing else to life gouge so lose their lives! They also have forced slave labor in their prisons! They overcharge people suspected of committing a crime so they scare them into plea bargaining and expand their amount of slaves! 1.2 million slaves!
Ah yes. The defensive alliance that’s never been in a defensive war but several offensive ones.
For profit industry will always be more expensive than public. Because the goal of the public industry is to provide the public with that good/service. It often sells at cost or even at a deficit since it does not need to profit. Its prices will only raise if material or labor costs increase.
Meanwhile private industries will always be looking for ways to increase price. Whether it be by cutting wages even further, adding pointless additions to up sell, “shrinkflation” etc. Because the goal is to make money despite the actual value of it’s good/service.
The referendum did not include the states that already left (like the Baltic states and Armenia). Russia was the largest state but they actually were one of the lowest who voted to keep (above 70% I believe). The central Asian states voted the highest to keep the union (over 90%). Belarus and Azerbaijan were also very high.
The dissolution was not only illegal but clearly against the will of the people.
The 1991 Soviet referendum. 77% of the population voted to keep the Soviet Union.
As long as European capitalists keep making money with the US, they’ll keep going as long as they like and they keep the people under control with western media. It will take a significant downturn even greater than this one for the people to unite and either overthrow their government or force it to break away from the US sphere of influence.
Imagine if Ukraine had just followed the Minsk agreement? They would not have lost any further territory, no civilians bombed in Donbas, no thousands of their people marched to their deaths in a suicidal offensive. They would have been a trading hub between EU and Russia. And most of all, THERE WOULD BE PEACE!
Now they will lose big chunks of territory, have lost thousands of people, the economy is non-existent and destroyed infrastructure. The amount of blood in the hands of the Kiev regime is horrendous. They sacrificed their country to appease western capitalists. I really wish Ukrainians could understand what is going on and turn their guns against their government and put those people on trial for what they did.
You’re spot on there. I think even the US war machine will stop its funding once not enough Russians are being killed. That was the whole point of provoking the war. To drain their manpower and resources with a long war. This counteroffensive seemed like it was their chance to take back territory and keep the war going. It failed really hard and I doubt they will be able to make another offensive this big. Russia will also soon have an offensive of their own with Ukraine now seemingly close to depleted. At that point the US will abandon them like all their other puppets who lost the proxy wars in the past.
Reminds me a lot of Guaido when he tried to stir an overthrow of Venezuela. It seemed like such a desperate move that had no chance of working but he was likely pressured to do so by the US since he wasn’t making any real gains in control of the government. After he failed, they gave up on stating he is the “real” Venezuelan president and moved on to their next target.
I point out that they make the false assumption that democrats are “less worse” than republicans. From a far left perspective, the difference is negligible.
I’m mainly a lurker but it is still disappointing to see the comment section with Libs and their disingenuous arguments. I left Reddit due to its suppression of non-pro-western users. Lemmygrad is where we could have these conversations without the constant interruption from liberals. I support the banning of these accounts.
People who go out of their way to make an account in a far left website just to disrupt us should expect nothing less.
I have no issue with people asking genuine questions to learn about our point of view.
Incredibly out of reality. They are essentially implying that only the west is accountable to their constituents while the East can do whatever they want because the population is “brainwashed”.
Meanwhile the US state is in a constant state of governing against the interests of their own people.
