Thanks for posting about this. I was actually looking for a good source to share.

Also, just fyi for those unfamiliar with the political situation in Georgia, a few tidbits of info:

  1. The current president of Georgia who is conspiring with the opposition to try and deny the result of the election is actually a French citizen educated in the US. She barely even speaks Georgian.

  2. The opposition is deeply tied not just to western intelligence agency funded NGOs but also to the Ukrainian Nazi movement, and a prominent Nazi who participated in the mass murder of pro-Russian protesters in Odessa in 2014 has recently been seen in Tbilisi.

Also, a bunch of Ukrainian and European politicians were literally on the ground and took part in the last attempt to overthrow the Georgian govenrnment when the opposition astroturfed protests against the anti-NGO law.

And yeah, i know that some people have pointed out in the past that Georgian Dream is by no means perfect and is or has been in the past associated with some notorious Georgian oligarchs with ties to the West (though, after all, the same can be said for Putin's party too). The fact remains that if both Nazis and Western imperialists want to overthrow you, you must be doing something right.

According to Twitter he has ties to Azov and was actively engaged in attempting to recruit and smuggle mercenaries from Central Asia to fight in Ukraine, and proposed doing the same for Taiwan. Unhinged psycho. Too bad these wannabe assassins are such rabid turbolibs...

The show ended in the most pathetically cucked liberal way imaginable.

The liberal media have already been portraying AMLO as a dictator for his "populist" policies, if his party tried to change the constitution to make it more leftist all the liberals would go crying to the US for intervention and regime change.

Putin ate my homework and made me late for school too. Everything is Putin's fault.

Lol at anti-communists being so over the top that they would even try to paint Honecker, one of the most boring, bland and inoffensive socialist leaders ever as some kind of supervillain mastermind.

So what you're saying is "Media Bias Fact Check" is extremely biased and can't tell fact from fiction (or are knowingly lying). Good to know. Thanks! Now i can mark them off as liberal propaganda and know that reality is likely the complete opposite of whatever they say about a media source.

I don't know if i'd describe it as "Keynesian" but yes you are right, it's not "centrally planned" in the traditional sense. Most of the countries i mentioned do not have centrally planned economies. This is not about central planning, it's about state driven vs liberal "free market" models. Economic planning is just one tool that a state can employ to guide and shape its economy. The key distinction here is about who ultimately has the power. Does the state control capital or does capital control the state?

The difference is that in the case of the US that was a lie. And Ukraine being a US proxy is not actually the weaker party in this, Russia is because they don't have the full backing of an alliance like NATO behind them. So Russia was entirely justified in feeling threatened by a militarized russophobic Nazi regime, not on the other side of an ocean but right on their border, wanting to join a hostile military alliance who openly declare that their principal enemy is Russia.

People who try to draw superficial comparisons between Ukraine and Iraq are lying by omission because literally everything about this is different.

I wouldn't bother getting my hopes up too much. Their idea of "negotiations" is something between "letting Russia have Crimea" in exchange for giving up everything else that Ukraine wants, and at best "freezing the conflict" to allow Ukraine to be built up again, re-armed and possibly brought into either EU, NATO or both, with a view toward trying to recover their territories later from a more favorable military position.

Obviously these are all non-starters for Russia, not only does Russia not have any pressing need for negotiations seeing as they are winning and the balance of power in their favor is only improving, but my guess is they will never and cannot accept any situation in which Ukraine is not made permanently neutral and demilitarized, or in which the Nazi regime in Kiev is allowed to stay in power as it would constitute a perpetual security and terrorist threat.

Also there is no conceivable scenario in which the sanctions will be lifted, at best Germany would undo a couple of token ones, particularly those that help it dig itself out of the energy hole it has thrown itself into, but the rest are pretty much permanent, just like the sanctions on Cuba, Iran, the DPRK, Syria, etc. After all, it suits the US just fine for Europe to commit economic suicide, it's one less competitor.

Russo-Ukrainian War: Leak Biopsy (bigserge.substack.com)

I have seen a few mentions of these recent Pentagon leaks about Ukraine's "spring counter-offensive" in the comments here so i gather that there are some comrades that have an interest for this sort of thing. From what i can tell this article does a good job summing up the most relevant big picture information that can be learned from these documents.

Warning: the author has thrown in a queerphobic "joke" for absolutely no reason which is very annoying and detracts from an otherwise professional piece.
