Don't trust Putin or the oligarchs or god forbid the central bank trust the MOD.
You are contradicting yourself LOL, you say NATO has no bearing on the European economic situation while admitting in the next breath it has huge implications for energy prices due to trade with Russia. Europeans have been debating their quality of life drop, and your countrymen have been calling me blind drunk screaming about how they have no money and they can't decide if they hate the Russians or you anti-Russian zealots more. You are simply unaffected by the actual damage because you are economically insulated and 100% of your political leanings are based on oversocialization. They have no connection to material conditions in Europe. Basically cope and go buy one of your state manufactured vodka seltzers you underwear drunk idiot.
There is more than one book about Gladio but at this point I am just going to assume you are a real boot boy who loves the western military and believes everything they say and dismisses all criticism as conspiracies. Don't beat around the bush you slimy motherfucker. You believe the CIA claim that the document is "communist forgery". This is the organization that took ib Hitler's men after the war. Why didn't you state your reasons for dismissing the document as a hoax? Worried you might look "Muricacentric" man?
https://responsiblestatecraft.org/2022/09/02/diplomacy-watch-why-did-the-west-stop-a-peace-deal-in-ukraine/ The "Zelensky is a badass" narrative in 2024 is hilarious. So you expect me to believe negotiations did not fall through because of the West intervening when Foreign Affairs admitted they had a peace deal worked out prior to the UK doing so. Fat chance. You really perceive this as a Manichean struggle and not a geopolitical conflict motivated by finance. Dogbrained bullshit.
Yes the military aid is specifically to prolong the war are you serious? You actually think the western countries are just sending the aid to be nice. Ukraine now has one of the worst debt situations in the entire world, and who do you think that is owed to? The same firms that ensure your children will never own a house, buddy.
That would be nice, I think you're right. I don't think they are serious though, sadly.
Actually it's funny you mention mistaking them as socialists, one of the podcasts I've seen posted here, Radio War Nerd, I forgot to mention here that they tried to imply socialists should have critical support for the TPLF in Ethiopia (they use child soldiers and are allied with US evangelical neocons) because they used to be Maoist aligned... decades ago.
I worry that Myanmar could end up getting the same kind of sloppy treatment. I haven't seen any serious discussion of it. The usual "they had a genocide against Muslims under the US regime as well as the new junta and it is complicated" comes up for sure. Seems like a product of Voice of America and RFA funding, this awareness, moreso than research, as Manipur should get mentioned as much when people talk about the worldwide Islamaphobia going on
China will only reach superpower status (???) once it collapses (???????) both Myanmar and Thailand
Well you're certainly no Arghiri Emmanuel... what on earth is your basis for these remarks? Does this stuff just come to you? I saw you elsewhere here demanding people read articles for you so that you might comment on them. Interesting research method I must say.
No the contributors should not be considered guilty until proven innocent just to give Linus et al the benefit of the doubt fuckface!
Cool but probably not as sexy as KISS will try it anyways
