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.”

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.
What function did NATO serve after the dissolution of the UDSSR? How did Russia turn from foe (UDSSR) to friend (Russian Federation) to foe again? Which enemy did NATO after the dissolution of the UDSSR have in order to justify the defensive alliance? What role do you think the military industrial complex played in this?
These aren’t rhetorical questions.

Sealioning is when you question someones understanding of a topic that they are very confident about

I don’t want this war. That’s why I want Russia to go home. Ukraine can’t go home, because Russia’s there. So the war ends if Russia goes home.

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

Go smoke your bong. No matter what arguments you try to pull, the moment they actually invaded Ukraine, they became THE aggressors, and are in the wrong.
They became the aggressor when you strip the context.
They will still be sorrounded by NATO after conquering Ukraine, not an improvement really.
Why would they do it then?
I’m guessing a mixture of desperation, and trying to outlive the west (if they can just grab enough resources for their needs until the west collapses, they can deal with other issues later). Still, I can’t support the invasion. If they could just stop being assholes, they would have more allies, people liked Putin, and he improved Russia’s reputation before the Ukraine war (and they even somewhat overlooked the Crimea invasion).
No one does. War is an extension of diplomacy
The old man wants to feel like a powerful leader before he dies, and he doesn’t care what happens afterwards
I dont subscribe to great man theory understanding of history
If Russia just treated Ukraine proper, and not steal Crimea like they did.
Then, Ukraine would become good allies if actually treated well.
Crazy that they did just that. I’m sure there’s no context
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.
Probably? Don’t guess, investigate.
A great thinker (Mao zedong) once said: “no investigation no right to speak”
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.
Do you consider topling governments to privatize everything and sell weapons to also not as aggression?
Not sure where you got the idea from, but I dont think anyone seriously belives this
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.
You don’t buy the western imperialist story when they support a genocide in Palestine, but buy it when they support a banderist regime in Ukraine for them to privatize everything for western capital… Ok
