It's summer 2007. The US army is 980,000 casualties in for 50 miles advance into Iraq. The Mukhabarat destroy half of US strategic aviation. Anti imperialists call on W to finally reduce Baghdad to ashes.

The poetic nature of this operation! The contrast between the cost of the FPV drone and the cost of the Russian bombers hit is beyond genius. The same will happen to Russia. This Goliath of shit will fall. Neither bought Western politicians nor an army of X bots will help.

Here is how it felt to be in Mariupol when Russia started bombing it in 2022. And this morning the person responsible for the bombing was kіlled in Russia, by a grеnade. It’s nearly not enough, but it’s a start. If you haven’t yet watched “20 days in Mariupol” - take it as a sign to do it ⬇️

Russia can sustain its military for a foreseeable future. Forcing it to accept lasting peace will require radically different methods from the ones currently utilized by Ukraine and its allies.

Never forget that the Nazis and the Russians held a joint military parade to celebrate their invasion of Poland on September 22, 1939. Russia loved the Nazis when they thought the Nazis would help them steal their neighbors' land. The May 9th Victory Day Parade is a joke. youtu.be/Gu1d_fPBa-8?...

China’s rhetoric on rules-based trade, saving multilateralism may contrast with Trump but it is largely vacuous. And its call for multipolarity (read: large powers drive “might makes right”) should also be seen sceptically.

If it were not so tragic, the Trump destruction of the US economy would be comical. Trump wants to go back to William McKinley's harmful tariff of 1890. He wanted to raise US tariffs from 2.5% to 28%. Trump wants to tariffs to be the main tax, but just 1% of GDP. /1

US administration would be wise to learn from the EU's past experience (I'm not expecting they will) of offering economic benefits to Russia in the hope of solving strategic disagreements. Russia won't give up its geopolitical goals in exchange for economic partnership with US (or Europe).
