The American left aka a very niche portion of the american left just has divorced themselves from the democratic party - there was barely any trying.
The largest movements of the left were BLM and occupy and they ended up being sucked out and assimilated into the state apparatus.
the left parties presumably evolved out of the "worker's rights but not for aborigines, pacific islanders and chinese!" type of labour activists?
Imagine if they stopped all weapon shipments, financial aid and threatened sanction - there would be peace by tomorrow.
Not the chauvinism by the Khaleeji
Mormons actually have high percentage ancestry from Denmark, because they went there to proselytise. I guess its a traditions thing.
I doubt Poland will. Not because they dont want to, but because Lviv is the heartland of Ukrainian Nazism and there is a very bloody history between the two countries. Bandera is reviled for his massacre of polish residents of that area and many in poland have soured on ukraine and the refugees. Romania & Hungary almost certainly will though. But the rest of your assessment is spot on.
Russia could always attack through Belarus, I doubt they would keep Kherson if Kiev or Rivne were under russian occupation. Anyways, they will only come to the table, when such pride issues are no longer viable in the first place.
Yeah. I think Putin understands that to get truly what is required for permanent peace, Russia has to occupy almost the entire country, which is a nightmare in a logistical & manpower sense. He made some comments about it.
Even worse that the disputes will only invite further probing and preparation for the next war by the west and whichever nazi ends up in charge of ukraine.
I doubt russia will conquer all of it. At worst they will lose Odessa and everything east of the Dnieper.
They do not "need" to reconquer Kherson. They will trade Sumy or Kharkiv for it. Although Its possible they annex parts of Kharkiv until the Oskil river for defense purposes, the donbass is very exposed otherwise.
Easy, by making you into the "problem child", they build themselves up for pay raise/promotion/more protection for being fired. Its ruthless there and they dont have any sense of comradery. You take the high road and end up falling into the chasm, because the others have been busy digging the dirt beneath your feet. Its the nexus of bourgeois culture, which will be abolished under any socialist system.
By removing the source of the superbasis genesis, many of the more beging and salvageable chuds will cease clinging to such behaviors.
