I recall reading something about that a few years ago.
Oh my bad, it was ristoril_zip that was justifying NATO in Yugoslavia, you just kept talking about whataboutism.
Rational analysis, where you are incapable of addressing any wrong doing of the one person that declared an offensive war? Please attack me personally instead of acknowledging that maybe it is not so good to march into your neighbors territory and bomb their cities. But you do you. I’m sure you have your reasons.
Yes, rational analysis as outlined by one of the most eminent geopolitcal researches in US https://mearsheimer.substack.com/p/who-caused-the-ukraine-war
Using your logic, Mearsheimer must be a Russian propagandist. I’m sure you have your reasons for spreading simplistic narratives about the war that ignore the actual reasons behind it.
really is a turning point in history
Yes, you literally did that with the example of Yugoslavia. At leat lie about something that you haven’t done in this very thread.
Meanwhile, the fact that you see rational analysis for the reasons for the war as vocal support for Putin shows just how utterly intellectually impoverished you are.
and by accidentally described communism you mean that you accidentally shown that you have no clue what communism is
I see you’ve described capitalism.
Indeed, Lein’s work is highly relevant today. For example, The State and Revolution directly addresses the debates over reformism and the nature of the state that we see constantly happening right now. It’s depressing to see all the same arguments replayed as if we don’t have historical evidence to lean on to decide which ones were correct.
this is a really good thread on the subject https://xcancel.com/existentialcoms/status/1248728086834601984
LMFAO he absolutely doesn’t read any sources, here’s 5 hours of dr. Finkelstein exposing destiny for the absolute fraud that he is
Exactly, just imagine if Hezbollah conducted an operation like this in Israel.
Talking about whataboutism is just a way to paper over hypocrisy. It’s not a real argument. Then you proceeded to make it crystal clear that you are indeed a hypocrite.
What I don’t understand is why “leftists” like you feel the need to vocally support an oligarch and dictator, instead of being able to say that the war in Ukraine is a pointless waste of human lives for which Putin is directly responsible as the aggressor.
Nice straw man there buddy, cause nowhere did I vocally support anything. What you’re being told is that what Russia is doing is no different from what the west has been doing, and that the west is just as responsible for starting and continuing this conflict. Apparently that’s just too hard a concept for you to comprehend.
The most incredible part is that multiple people in this very thread tried to explain the situation to you, and you just ignore the facts and continue regurgitating the talking points you’ve memorized. The sheer anti-intellectualism on display is stunning.
No, I’m saying that recognizing the separatists regions and then accepting their request for help was the common element. It’s quite clear that Russia was not interested in destroying Ukraine as illustrated by the fact that Russia tried to make Minsk agreements for for whole eight years. I don’t know why you feel the need to continue making blatantly dishonest statements here. You’re not fooling anybody.
It’s more about nuclear capable western countries doing whatever they want since WW2.
That’s been the case since the end of WW2, were you just sleeping this whole time?
ah right
