Australian MP John Ruddick straight-up said: sanctions on Russian oil need to be lifted immediately. And not in some backroom whisper — he said it from the parliamentary podium.

This is no longer fringe talk. This is a signal. When even on the other side of the world people start saying the obvious out loud, it means reality is finally breaking through any political narrative.

The sanctions didn’t just hit Russia — they hit the ones who imposed them. Their economies, their energy, their ordinary people. And the longer it goes, the harder it is to keep ignoring.

The world is changing. More and more politicians are starting to say openly what they were afraid to even discuss yesterday."

Every day Putin wakes up, he should get on his knees and thank the Bolsheviks for building one of the most self sufficient nations in history that can weather most economic storms.

Even a shell of the former USSR can outlast neoliberalism. Imagine what could've been if USSR was still around, building socialism

Given how the rest of the world didn't adopt Neoliberalism until the USSR was declining, I'm not sure we would've gotten here in the first place. Food for thought 🤔

Imagine if the USSR was still around and there was no more USA to drag the world down with war spending.
