Well, it's now a political espionage drama. A high stakes operation over a basketballer and weapons dealer...
I can't tell if that's the best idea or the worst idea. I think my sense of sense is broken.
I mean you also live with the sword of Damocles above your head. Everyone in the world wants to kill Putin, and he knows it. It only takes one more time before his generals and security are more afraid of him being alive than they are of repercussions of failing to kill him.The smartest socialist.
The imperialist powers prepare for World War III: US, Japan, Germany plan record military spending
Over the past week, the US, Germany, and Japan all proposed massive increases in military spending, dictated by the war against Russia and the approaching conflict with China.www.wsws.org
I wish I was Putin, I get to do whatever I want including child torture chambers, and people still defend me when others respond accordingly.
Probably but who's fault is that. They didn't put a gun to Vlad's head and forced him to invade. And the war is so miserably in part because Putin apparently can't plan an invasion to save his life. Literally even.
Oh I agree. I think absolutely his generals never imagined he'd ever invade, that's why they cooked the books on the military spending while buying their third yacht. But whatever terminal diagnosis Putin has(I've seen people speculate on cancer, and late stage syphilis) he had to attempt to recreate the Soviet Union. And he's trying with his Potemkin army.
The more I read and hear about this whole debacle I keep finding things to be amazed by in how unrealistically stupid they sound and If someone had written this all down and sent this back to a year ago for me to read I would accuse them of being a fucking hack who'd read entirely too much Tom Clancy.
Would also require more competence than they've shown so far to pull it off without losing 1/2 their troops.
No matter what atrocity you commit, there will always be those who cloak themselves in the veil of "anti-Imperialism" who are willing to defend it.The smartest socialist.

Well, surely they should want to die miserably rather than make Putin look bad!
Russian troops have turned to Wikipedia to find instructions on handling weapons and used 1960s-era maps in the country's invasion of Ukraine: NYT
"This isn't war," a soldier told The Times from a hospital near Moscow. "It's the destruction of the Russian people by their own commanders."
I mean, considering wsws considers itself a "Trotskyist" website and knowing what a wackadoodle(I mean, he was considered extreme and obnoxious by Bolshevik standards) Trotsky was somehow this all tracks.
I'm not convinced of this. Trotsky was entirely committed to the eradication of the wealthy bourgeoisie in Russia (as a proponent of the Red Terror), and was also the single staunchest military opponent of Russian imperialism (in the form of the White Army) during his time. Trotsky would have unconditionally opposed everything the current Christian-nationalist, Imperial government of Russia is attempting to accomplish. It would be utter anathema to him.

Almost a year ago, I might have felt somewhat sorry for them.
If the Russian army is so angry about being send to the slaughterhouse to appease an uncaring government then maybe they should go do something about it.
