This is a Dengist community in favor of Bashar al-Assad with no information that can lead to the arrest of Hillary Clinton, our fellow liberal and queen. This community is not ironic. We are Marxists-Leninists.

This community is for posts about Marxism and geopolitics (including shitposts to some extent). Serious posts can be posted here or in /c/GenZhou. Reactionary or ultra-leftist cringe posts belong in /c/shitreactionariessay or /c/shitultrassay respectively.

We have a Matrix homeserver and a Matrix space. See this thread for more information. If you believe the server may be down, check the status on status.elara.ws.

I think even us aren't talking about this as much as we should.

You're absolutely right. We usually get dragged down into the mire about NATO this and enclosement that but the fact is, we know there was a campaign of collective punishment on the people of the Donbas starting after the Maidan coup which carried on for almost a decade. The people of the region requested Russian presence to stop the bombing and they did it even knowing sanctions and fighting would come to Russia itself.

People have been begging other countries like Saudi Arabia to intervene in Palestine with something more than rhetoric, this is what it looks like. It's not a fucking Aaron Sorkin show where you do a nice speech and suddenly global politics shift, sometimes force can only be resisted with force. I'm no more a fan of modern Russia than I am of, say, Egypt, but if they chose to give military support to the Palestinian people that would be commendable nonetheless.
