"Worker" in this context doesn't mean "currently employed", it means "working class person".

A working class person, a proletarian, is anyone who needs to sell their labour power to survive. As opposed to someone doesn't need to work to survive, who can live off of profits from capital they own.

He also believes that people serving a sentence should be used in forced labor

This already happens.

Liberals (liberal establishment/media) have already started laying the groundwork for the upcoming narrative.

Ukraine lost because of Trump (despite the election taking place 7 months from now and despite the next president being inaugurated in January of next year).

And Ukraine lost because of "pro-Russian" elements in the EU, that is anti-NATO and anti-war people who don't want to see taxpayer (working class) money be wasted on a corrupt country like Ukraine that never stood a chance anyway.

The narrative is that Ukraine was winning, that they could have won had it not been for the aforementioned people. Liberals/democrats blame Republicans for stopping the Ukraine aid (after 100+B sent) yet they don't wonder how Biden and the MIC is able to greenlight billions to Israel without congress' approval.

I hate liberals on an ideological level, but on a personal level I absolutely despise them, they disgust me. Them and their "We could have done ____, had it not been for ____." Every time they get power they don't know what to do with it, that's why every time liberals "win" like WWI and after, fascists take power. That's pretty much what happened in Ukraine during and after Euromaidan. Liberals know they are weak and pathetic, so they use fascists to do the things they know they can't.

Thank you for listening to my TEDx talk.

I wish we could turn back time, to the good old days...

"Russia is heading for an outright defeat in Ukraine." -- Francis Fukuyama, March 10, 2022

The war in Ukraine is likely headed for a "devastating Russian defeat," according to an expert on economic policy in the eastern European region.

the critical weakness

It's not a bug, it's a feature.

Ukraine doesn't have the know-how or logistics to maintain F-16s, hence the long waiting period. Any airfields in Ukraine with F-16s are likely to get struck and destroyed quickly by Russia.

It is a repeat of the Leopard, Challenger, Abrams tanks. The West postponed sending them as long as possible because they knew they'd get destroyed and wouldn't live up to the hype. But boy did the hype feel good.

I'm guessing they're negotiating for Poland to fix/maintain F-16s to then transport them back to Ukraine because no way will they actually take-off and land in Poland. They do the same with Leopard tanks and Caesar SPGs, they get shipped to the EU for repairs. I imagine Poland is being difficult about it because of the protests and the unpopularity of supporting Ukraine military among the Polish population, hence the delay.

All of these deals and arrangements happen behind closed doors.

It seems that a year ago they managed to shoot down one kinzhal missile. From my understanding, they shot it down in its "final approach"/maneuver to target stage, which happens at subsonic speed.

The actual hypersonic missiles can maneuver at hypersonic speeds, and Russia hasn't used those in Ukraine yet.

Milei is the new "libertarian" (read: neoliberal) darling.

Taurus missiles, of course. G*rman engineering.

NATO article 5 doesn't cover aggression. If France sends troops and they get attacked/killed other NATO countries are under no obligation to step in. This is Macron attempting to look tough since Russia targeted and killed with a missile strike those French mercenaries who were at a hotel/residence in Kharkov (iirc).

This also doesn't give France casus belli to attack Russia since it's France volountarily sending troops to an active war zone.

This will be a huge fiasco and it will weaken France. What it will do is pave the way for Le Pen to become the president of France.

It has done so again with the murder of Alexei Navalny

They say this as if it were a proven fact.

Most welfare recipients in the US have a job. "Welfare means you don't have a job" is myth perpetuated by those who'd like to see welfare programs cut.
