Good call. I don't know if the new information about the release from being jailed is fake news, here's an older source
Global press really. It's been fascist ever since everywhere
Yea lol, every other day it's that "collapse imminent" and every other time it's "turning around and winning everything"
Didn't they attack in France/Germany/Spain some time ago? Or are they exempt from being the spooky West. The use of the term seems to vary wildly so it's tough to figure what it is used for, maybe the world minus Africa and Asia usually 🤔
How west we talking about? Europe has an existential self-interest, USA has a capitalist military industry profit self-interest. Even going further to the west, China's involvement serves self-interest.
Russia is in a war economy and the USA is based on their military industry. An endless war of attrition is what the capitalist machine seeks.
Musk supports Russia so what's the play here
The global MIC really wants to push the narrative that wars are a neverending cycle without other options. Swift resolutions don't make profit
Europe had a view in the 90s–00s that trade can be a vehicle for enforcing peace. That plus capitalist greed let Russia invade Georgia and Crimea before that view changed overnight too late. Similarly countries turn a blind eye on what China is doing
Random acts of praxis or can the people get organized? We'll see
Yup. Surprised me as well. I've thought of it being an ok enough source, just apply normal media criticism. But Lemmy doesn't have transparency on whose mod decision it was or how to report those which seem to be on false premises or accidentally... Maybe some day.
