I think that's actually going to be pretty difficult. It would be a true triumph of counterintelligence to pull that off.

Also remember that "privatization" was coined to describe what the Euro fascists did in their economy. Do deprivatize is essentially antifa

I think it might get partitioned like Germany did. It would help the Western narrative engine to draw those parallels and it would allow the West to continue operating and building power while requiring Russia's constant attention.

Russia cannot occupy Ukraine and is unlikely to physically invade and occupy Kyiv directly. It is also unlikely that Russia will spend the resources to do to Ukraine what the US did to Korea.

I doubt the election will truly change what happens in Ukraine. It's just a question of the angle of the spin

Everyone except the European power structure IS imagining it. Literally it's the stated reason for Korea developing nukes - so that it can pursue everything else without the West choosing to bomb it back to the stone age for second time.

LOL. A perfectly reasonable post and the only thing you can respond with is an ableist ad hominem. Good luck navigating the world around you !

I dunno. Highly motivated, highly incentivized, backed by the most productive nations on the planet. I think those of us in the West are used to tranformative things taking forever because of the incompetence and the lack of incentives for the powers that be, and we forget how quickly our nations do transform things to harm us - DMCA, domestic surveillance, sharing intelligence, privatizing water, destroying habitats, etc.

Meanwhile on the other side of Russia Korea is testing it's mobile solid fuel ICBM capabilities.

What the hell would the USA even do? Sanction Korea?

Liberal downvoting has seriously spiked today. What's going on?

Food insecurity in the USA exists without anyone sanctioning it. Stores have literally started locking deodorant and baby formula behind glass to prevent more theft.

But you think a Newsweek story about a single person stealing a pack of butter is evidence that the sanctions are working?

Worse, you are totally cool with sanctions harming average citizens with food insecurity and not aware that collective punishment is a literal crime against humanity?

What a delusional take on the conflict in Ukraine. Even the US media is describing the situation as a slow motion collapse for Ukraine. Ukraine has lost multiple entire armies needing quite literally every piece of armor replaced by the West. Ukrainian soldiers report being absolutely pummeled by glide bombs and artillery while they have nearly zero ability to respond and near complete inability to move around due to Russian air dominance and constant drone recon.

Ukraine has managed to through a few small explosives strapped to drones and hit civilian targets in Russia, and that's about it.

Ukraine has literally developed nothing - everything they are using on the battlefield is old Soviet stock or supplied by their Western colonial allies.

What are you even talking about?

The UK arresting an average of 9 people a day. Meanwhile, arrests in Russia are below 500 each year, sometimes far below.

Using the web client in Firefox, I cannot seem to expand comments below a certain level. Clicking "3 more comments ->" just spins. Any ideas?

This feels like an op to me. The timing is uncanny. If this story develops, I predict some escalation of current conflicts with some advanced weaponry (chemical, biological, nuclear, energy, space-based, etc) and the alien story to be used as cover.

Alternatively, it's a continuation of reactionary mobilization propaganda. Thought?
