  • I mean, I’m kinda surprised Jon doesn’t even point out the obvious provocation of the prospect of Ukraine joining a hostile anti-Russian military alliance that would put hypersonic nuclear missiles 5 minutes from Moscow. Like, literally right on the Russian border.

    Uh – let’s entertain a hypothetical in which one of the US’s neighboring countries decided to join a hostile military alliance that put nukes 5 minutes off the US coast. Oh right, that happened! field-baseball We responded by invading, trying to assassinate their democratically elected president, and then we blockeded, sanctioned and starved them for generations.

    Why not point out that Putin is literally doing what any US president would do, except, like… not nearly as barbaric?










  • also my oversimplified understanding of why the cold war even happened was that stalin beat the shit out of the nazis for the allies but the west didnt want to give him too much credit or put the soviets on equal footing as economic post war partners, so the US basically engineered a long era of continued weapons manufacturing using the domestic and liberated/defeated nations industries to subsidize and expand our military while also protecting western capital interests from having to compete in a multipolar global economy where international prols would have increased bargaining power and autonomy, am i doodoo brained or is this kinda sorta accurate
