OT: World Politics

Totally normal, functional state.

That's like how they used to make barons of industry ceremonial colonels of local army regiments (regiments that were funded by said barons) back in the guilded age. I believe the Molson family used the regiment they funded to crush strikes at the brewery.
 
Anyone who has an awareness of history knows that Russia has as much use for Poland as they do for the Ukraine. They want to disappear both those countries.


I’ve been saying since this conflict broke out that the end goal of Putin and Russian nationalists is nothing less than the eventual re-assembly of Imperial Russia, all under the absolute rule of Moscow.

And to Russian imperialists, Poland is as much an indivisible part of “Great Russia” as Ukraine, Belarus, Georgia & the Baltics.
 
Chomsky took a compelling argument...that the US does bad shit and needs to be better held in check by its citizens and allies alike....and just went batshit with it over the years.
 
does he know less than the NAFOs on twitter?
Yes.

Only an idiot would claim that anything Russia is doing in Ukraine is "more humane" than anything done by the US in Iraq. The fact of the matter is that Chomsky wasn't in either place and war generally isn't a humane undertaking. But Russian barbarity has been shown and exposed time and again. And just like in Iraq the bad guys have resorted to beheading their opponents so Chomsky needs to sit this one out.

There are no "both sides" to this conflict. Russia is an evil fascist aggressor that needs to be evicted from the Ukraine by force, full stop. Ukraine didn't ask to be invaded and they have an absolute right to defend their territory by whatever means necessary.
