    Christian “Schuldenbremse” Lindner. No money for education, public transport and energy investments but the feeding the war machine is completely within budget.

      It’s what the Kremlin and CCP want. They ruined their own countries now they’re expanding.

          US’s next war is with China. Read former Defense Sec Robert McNamara’s memo of 1965.

          There are three fronts to a long-run effort to contain China:

          • the Japan-Korea front

          • the India-Pakistan front; and

          • the Southeast Asia front

              All that the Big Brother needs to do is tell the people, there’s a big bad enemy far away. He wants to destroy us. But if you support the Big Brother, he will protect you. That’s the entire pitch. Rinse and repeat for every war.

              Watch this clip from a year ago.

              Most Americans can’t put Ukraine on a map, but they want unlimited money to be funneled to the most corrupt country on the planet.

      No, we want Russia to unconditionally surrender right now. But since that’s unrealistic, we want to provide Ukraine with the means to defend itself from a blatantly imperialist invasion by a fascist state.

        You’re just throwing those terms around aren’t you?

        You don’t understand what imperialism means. US/EU capital is looting and exploiting the former socialist block and controlling it through western capitalist media, NGOs, military bases and coups. That’s imperialism. The Russians preventing Nazis from doing ethnic cleansing along their border and demanding not to be threatened with a gun to the head is not imperialism.

        And if you think Russia is fascist (I don’t think it is, but reasonable people might disagree), what do you think about Ukraine? The Ukrainian state funds and arms Banderite groups and promotes Banderite ideology, which is a straight up fascist, racist, ethnonationalist, Neo-Nazi ideology. Those people think Russians are Mongol Asiatic Untermenschen, and the Ukrainian state promotes that. The Russian government does not promote this sort of ethnonationalism.

          Wow, you really did swallow the official Russian stance. I bet you’d also have believed that Poland attacked that German radio station in 1939. Repeat after me: Russia has invaded Ukraine because the Russian government does not consider Ukraine to be a legitimate nation. But don’t take my word for it, read Putin’s essay on the matter. It just takes a minimum amount of actual reflection to see that that’s the real reason for the invasion.

      Or maybe we are just prepared to support the Ukraine in beating these war mongering, pillaging motherfuckers back to where they belong and also recognize that it might take some time.

      But of course it’s all a conspiracy to feed money into our MIC

          And as we all saw in 2014 (or in the 1930s), appeasement works and never leads to more war or strife.

        Assange is just a person who cares about freedom of the press, going on these red-scare witch-hunts is going to blow back in peoples faces sooner rather than later because we already went through this before

        Also promoting countries that have worse human rights abuses than Russia is not a winning strategy, 20% of Germans now believe in far-right candidates, something that Germany hasn’t seen since 1933, and that’s a serious issue that needs to be addressed, not brushed under the rug

        Even the propaganda outlets like nytimes, amnesty and countless organisations arguing against Assange’s extradition are Pootin puppets.

    While he’s there in Ukraine, he should do a tour of those minefields. That’s where this German equipment and the German-trained soldiers are going, seems only fair for him to see the the blooming landscapes he helped create.

        He materially supports sending unwilling conscripts to their deaths. I advocate against this, but I’m the one that should be on the front line?
