This approach failed... yada yada...
not quite. The approach was working until the west sent Boris over to threaten/bribe zellensky.
reverting from “5th generation warfare”, “hybrid warfare” or whatever else you want to call it,
5th gen war is the pipe dream of fail children. You cant propagandise material conditions away eventually rubber meets road and people kill each other.
Kiev has broken the taboo, and obviously Russia responded in kind.
not true. Russia hasnt had to do a mobilization. They called up 300k former soldiers near the start but the rest has been voluntary conscripts. Their regular compulsory service personnel are not being sent to Ukraine.
The Ukrainians have broken many taboos already and then acted surprised when their enemy responded in kind
Again "both sides"ing. RAF aren't hitting schools or hospitals unless soldiers are using them as bases. Russia has been incredibly restrained in its war.
They get the facts right about the present state of the Ukraine
no they don't. They ignore the fact that it is a proxy war. They blame "Ukraine" for making things "ideological" and make it sound like Russia is doing a war of conquest. Ukraine is a bulwark for western imperialism. Ukrainians aren't making any decisions. They ignore that Russia tried to negotiate for years. Russia didn't even want Donbas they just wanted the murdering and fascism to stop.
The rest of your opinions are meh. What liberal governments do to each other doesn't matter much but any war that hurts the great satan is a good thing. There is only one war that should be waged, class war. If that means a gulag for your own mother because she wont willingly give up her "investment" properties that's how it goes.
FBI is female booty inspectors. Acronyms can mean 2 things. In the case of Lemmy ml is Marxist Leninist.
Stalinism is a thing. Just like Leninism, Maoism and Dengism are things. Each of them is just a interpretation of Marxism. They each critique, adapt and expand on the previous iterations of Marxism to fit new conditions.
This is Bizarro world vibes based history. Read a fucking book literally any book. Stalin lead the USSR after Lenin lead the revolution founded on the principles of communism which were developed by Marx.
Anything that threatens the western hegemony and imperialism must be destroyed because it threatens the comfortable life that the 1st world gets though neo-colonialism which is institutional racism at a international level.
Tankies want to make the first world share their treats with the "unwashed masses" of the third world and pay them a fair rate for their resources and labor.
"The electable left" (aka liberals, democratic voters, etc) are actually crypto-fascists. Fascism doesn't attack the liberals way of life. It isn't a serious threat to their treats so they don't rail against it.
Why not just say #NukeTheWorld?
Also American jets need Pristine runways to take off. Ukraine couldn't use F16s if they had them even if they had trained pilots.
