I’m not siding with anyone. As I wrote earlier:
This war is a war between two factions of the left: a nationalist, neo-Stalinist state (Russia), and a transnational corporatist progressive superstate (US/NATO). Ukraine is in the middle.
Which of these left factions is worse?
Twenty years ago, I would have unequivocally have said Russia. But after having heard endless lies from our “intelligence agencies”, and having watched them manufacture evidence to try to remove Trump from office twice and finally oust him by throwing an election, I’m not sure.
I detest both of these left factions.
B/S.
Nope. Nato/US has nothing at all to do with Putin invading Ukraine. This is the sort of sloppy make belive rationaization being thrown around by supposed “conservatives” that are utterly inexucsiable
There is no making exucses for Putin’s actions. There are without any rational, legal or moral standing.
If Putin is worried about Nato and Ukraine an acceptable reponse would be to neogitate alliancew with China, and Mexico and anyone else who would join him. The use of force here is wholly illegal and immoral.
