Purely defensive pact btw

All in the interests of Europe btw

Hexbear does not have downvotes at all. The option isn’t hidden we just can’t downvote. The reason was transphobic harassment/downvote campaigns against our comrades by cowardly piss babies

I’m sorry, I’ll only discuss my true feelings on geopolitics with people who declare for proletarian revolution and call for a protracted people’s war against global Capital along Maoist third-worldist lines.

Fuck outa here, dipshit. Engange or disengage, your call. I couldn’t tell you where the block person button is, never used it in the five years I’ve had this account, but I’m sure you already know. Feel free to crawl back to whatever hugbox you usually inhabit and brag how you karate-chopped a battalion of Putin’s strongest cyborg posters or something.

I’m guessing they’re fruitlessly trying to use the Socratic method to make you critically examine the wild claims you’re making. Even if a victory for Ukraine were still possible as you say, this in no way means Putin is all but defeated and just hiding it. The Russians are not “banking” on Trump pulling back from Ukraine or the EU being unable to meaningfully contribute - both of those things were fully expected a year ago and we can clearly observe right now. Waging a bloody war of attrition until a more favorable geopolitical situation arrives is precisely the stratagem at play here, and is certainly not what losing looks like.

Unless you’re willing to say right here that Russia is an aggressor nation and that the nation, along with its authoritarian leader Putin, is completely in the wrong,

Y’all get that this isn’t a cartoon, right? Finding out who the “bad guy” is doesn’t mean they’re going to lose. Every single one of these things you wrote can be true about Putin and Russia and it still wouldn’t budge the situation on the ground at all, your condemnation isn’t magic. You can certainly take your ball and leave if you don’t want to talk to people with a different analysis, but you can’t go to Narnia.

Damn, you’re right! I guess we can’t rule out Commodore Perry and the unequal trade treaties being Trump’s fault either.

At least it has become one thanks to piss hair.

TIL Trump made Japan sign the Plaza Accord

2-3% is not small or inconsequential when you’re the worlds largest export economy. The reason China is well placed to take this hit is because unlike the US they’re very methodical and measured in the moves they make, and the party has command of the economy.

Damn these Russians making the US into warmongers. After all, stealing land is a completely foreign concept in America

to prevent Russia from using this vote as a justification for their invasion of Ukraine.

The UN has, on a few occasions, voted to sanctioned war as lawful and justified. The resolution to condemn Nazism is absolutely not that, and it is pure bullshit to claim it would be functionally the same.

I won’t speak for Alaska, but Trump’s actions have been screaming at us that he’s a rabid fascist so loud and for so long, it’s kinda funny to do lit analysis on his rambling word-salads to get at the obvious

Again, which class rules in the PRC? Name it and give justification for your position

lol no way that’s the actual count also

“Shit’s tainting the sewer system” ass title. Think tanks exist to launder the policies oligarchs want implemented. It’s not a bug, it’s not even a feature, it’s the very reason this system exists and operates the way that it does

Do elections have a noticeable influence on policy though?

Gusanos are little more than a fig leaf for American imperialism. They don’t direct policy, they’re just there for the photo ops and op-eds as needed.

Ok but hear me out

So true, but also y’all did the Chips Act and some of the most heavy handed protectionism seen this century. The fuck you talking about

Those perfidious Asiatics, offering competitive salaries to experienced engineers! Very anti-competitive. I know what we should do - we can quadruple down on harassing researchers and professionals with Chinese origins. Heck, anyone vaguely Asian will do.

Understanding so shallow you need Low-angle X-ray Diffraction to quantify it
