something about the threat of the USSR leads the rogue empire to second-guess pulling shit like a sanction regime and full-on war.
Good find.
Blockades are an act of war, so any violence coming out of Palestine after 2006 and directed at Israel are legally justified (even ignoring the whole moral and survival aspect). Since Palestine is occupied by Israel, Israel has no legal right to use military force in Palestine, only police force. The response to Oct 7 was illegal from top to bottom (again, not even taking into account the whole moral/most basic possible level human rights aspect) and the Oct 7 uprising was legally within bounds.
Sorry for the tangent but you know how it goes.
Oil blockades are an act of war, and Russia isn't helping anyone by cowering.
This is what happens when you don't respond to western violence - you normalise it.
Putin is literally western puppet, he comes from the same bourgeoisie class, fuck him.
