> gaslight every one about how important winning the Ukraine war was for global stability and the rules based international order

For someone who used the preceding paragraph to position themselves against imperialism and authoritarian regimes, that is a very strange statement to make. Ukraine was the one responsible for ringing the alarm bells. If the US deemed Ukraine's total military victory as being beneficial to them, they could've made that happen single-handedly and in very short order, no "gaslighting" required. Instead they chose the endless war-of-attrition + appeasement approach and sent some aid while posturing and making promises. They were terrified of "escalation" and ended up not doing anything. The countries that cared about the war didn't have a lot to send, and the countries that had a lot to send didn't care about the war that much. Now the side that's not scared of escalation is using all that military might to airlift heads of state of sovereign nations.

> just to stick their thumbs up their asses when their dictator pulls shit like this is beyond me

Is that Biden admin in the room with us right now? The Americans gave the current administration a blank cheque to do anything they want, the not-far-right party's federal role right now had been reduced to looking angry/concerned in hopes that maybe a future election could let them have some power. Unless you seriously expected Biden et al. to storm the White House and coup their current administration, they can't really do anything anymore - and every day, their odds get slimmer as the entire country is being reshaped around them.


First of all Biden is just as bad as Trump to me I’ll never forget Tony Blinken crying about kids dead in Ukraine then standing there stony faced saying there was no genocide in Gaza. The Democrats are just the friendly face of Imperalism, under Trump you get to see that same violence just this time it’s turned inwards as well. I hate both of those parties the world would be a better place if we got rid of both of them. Here is a fun folk song for you:

The Ukraine war is an imperialist war two competing bourgeoises one backed by the west the other backed by Russia are fighting over who can plunder Ukraine. There was no side worth supporting there. Also being afraid of escalation against a nuclear armed state is perfectly reasonable. A full out war with Russia that could go nuclear isn’t off the table. The western media likes to pretend their wars are about human rights and national sovereignty it’s not and the west couldn’t give a damn about either of those things, see Gaza and Venezuala. Venezuala wasn’t always as authoritarian as it became under Maduro it got worse and worse as the United States increased its efforts to topple the regime with sanctions and funding the opposition you know the normal regime change shit the United States pulls everywhere.

I dont support Russia. lol the Biden admin shot its self in the foot so many times first by refusing to pick up the phone to stop a genocide then Biden chose to run even though he was way to old. Kamala also refused to say anything about Gaza it lost her the election. I worked for those assholes for free fuck them, and any one who still sits around defending the United States as if it’s some beacon of democracy is a joke. That shitty government has me on a watch list for the crime of calling out the band of criminals and fascists that run that country.

The war could of been prevented Ukraine was offered a deal where they could of been neutral and kept their freedom Borris Johnson was sent my Victoria Neuland to scuttle that deal. Americans love war and they love boosting their military industrial complex just check how well their stocks have been doing recently. They were panicking when Afghanistan ended they needed a new conflict. Nobody in the US government gives a shit about the lives of the innocent civilians that they kill as long as it furthers their psychotic ends. I focus my ire on the United States mainly because they’re the country that is meant to hold up the international order, they’ve shown time and time again that they’ll ignore it.


There was no genocide in Gaza - although it had been ethnically cleansed of all Jews.
