I think we are still waiting on the open admission that industrial capital is dead. Reading between the lines, sure, but Biden still makes noise about infrastructure bills, chips act, shit that actually has to get built. Mind you I don't think these acts are actually game changers, but just as there was a transition between the "coalition of the willing" in the oughts to open, obvious disdain for international law and support of genocide, I think for industrial capital we are still living in a world where the state is pretending to have fig leaves.
Yep, seconded. I have used it for years and it is great. It was $5 flat when I bought it. Well worth it for the silence skipping and playback speed stats alone.
Biden has opened the Pandora’s box where the interests of American capital are now directly tied to de-stabilization from global geopolitical conflicts.
The wars in Iraq and Afghanistan showed this to be the case already. The difference now is the open disdain for international law. Bush and Obama had a cover story. Trump and Biden don't bother. Trump got a pass on not having a cover story because he was a "wildcard" but Biden doesn't even care to try.
This is one of the big bafflers of international opinion imo. I really don't understand it even in the abstract
What is temu
It's the end of March. Odessa is on the other side of the dnieper and is a major city, much bigger than bakhmut or avdiivka. Doing an amphibious landing or river crossing is a whole other kettle of fish. Odessa will not be taken this year.
I'm deeply skeptical of having anything wrapped up by the fall. I could see them taking the remainder of Donetsk Oblast/DPR by then or maybe kharkiv but both seems like a stretch, let alone Odessa.
Israel is an unsinkable aircraft carrier in the mid east. These aren't needed for genociding Palestinians
In addition to the answers below, don't take it personally. Racism and colonialism are systemic issues. You didn't have a choice to be born, you don't control the political economy of your country, you didn't choose what your forebears did. Don't view having an accurate understanding of history and political economy as a personal attack.

Do you even live in the West to have a practical understanding of wokeness and how it plays out in real life? Or is your understanding of it totally technical, based on what you've read about it on Twitter while residing in India?
My understanding of wokeness is highly technical. I was published in the peer reviewed journal of woke studies
This is such a common arc. Not specifically the German red Zionism, but I think of the discourse with libs in October where they all did the hasbara dance and pushed back against the obviously correct take (that Israel was a genocidal ethnostate), and now they're all silent. Thanks for the prompt, I'm going to do some calling out of people I know.
