Scottish rock group Primal Scream superimposed swastikas combined with Stars of David over the eyes of Netanyahu & former Israeli defense minister Gallant, as well as other global politicians, in on-stage graphics during a Monday night concert, leading a Jewish security group to file a police complaint.

They were playing at the historic Roundhouse venue in north London & performed their 2000 single “Swastika Eyes.”

          Sure but if Russia succeeds (which looks like they do) itll be a huge blow to Western imperialism and to US hegemony (which I support)

              Yes it does as it signals to the rest of the world that it can’t enforce it’s interests militarily anymore

              Hell even if Russia does win it’s not as if Russia is some anti capitalist state and is going to swoop in to help the oppressed proletariat in western nations plan a revolution

              No one says it is. You do know what revolutionary defeatism is right?

              Don’t pretend that this will help any normal person though.

              Not the ones in the imperial core, but in the global south it’ll at least give breathing room for revolutionary movements

              the US empire falls that the geopolitical entity that fills its place will be some peace loving state

              It looks to be a multipolar world. If you assume zero sum and view geopolitics as a grand chess board you likely think a new hegemon will take it’s place

                  I don’t think the west has learned any lesson if the United States thought they had been defeated militarily why the fuck did they park their most expensive death machines off of the coast of Venezuela?

                  1. Not what I’m saying. I’m saying other countries will see that the US isn’t potent enough, as it lacks it’s former industrial base, to enforce their interests militarily.

                  2. Venezuela isn’t as strong of an enemy as Russia. Russia has been up until the Ukraine conflict one of the largest weapons exporters. The recently released US NSS basically admits that the US overextended itself. They also got chased away by Yemen.

                  He also painted the Ukraine was as being a democrat war which also why I think he wants to end it. I

                  the US overextended themselves as admitted in the NSS. Putin having leverage over Trump with some blackmail is too conspiratorial/lib imo

                  the end of the century our global economy is going to shrink because of all the environmental damage we’ve done to the planet, all these wars aren’t going to slow down said destruction

                  True I agree. It’s definitely a tendency that exists.

          I see you’re kind hearted in the sense that you don’t like war (assuming you’re anti Zionist) but are lib and haven’t read enough political theory to fully understand the root cause of it (NATO eastward expansion and western imperialism)

            Ukraine wouldn’t have so much western military aid if Russia didn’t invade. Ukraine wouldn’t want to be part of NATO so desperately if Russia didn’t invade. I think it’s Russia’s fault NATO is expanding.

            You realise geopolitics isn’t a sports game, right? You can be a critic of US imperialism and Russian imperialism.

            If Russia just treated Ukraine proper, and not steal Crimea like they did.

            Then, Ukraine would become good allies if actually treated well.

                The context is probably oil, sea control, so on. They know they are on the edge when it comes to global dominance, and that it was their last chance to defeat NATO, so they resorted to realpolitik. Does not mean we should be for conquering a free and innocent country like Ukraine.

                    Oh sure, countries invade for resources all the time, it makes sense in the geopolitical context, and we had prior examples of this happening, but I have to go find citations from several authority figures to prove what’s obvious.

                    If there’s two of you, and one of you ate the apple, and you know it’s not you.

                    Are you going to spend time investigating?

                    Again, I don’t buy the NATO aggression story, and I wanted to be generous and not use the Putin wants to restart the USSR theory, so what is left there?

                    Resource scarcity/survival.

                  Who said that we were? Analysis is not justification.

                  The root cause for Russia to resort to realpolitik is NATO Eastward expansion aka expanding the market for western weapons manufacturers and increasing the demand for weapons by provoking conflict

                    …there’s our difference, I just don’t buy that story, because I’m not team-codded. I’m pro-Palestine, anti-Ukraine.
