DAMN IRAN STEALING OUR OIL!

oh wait

AI is not Intelligent, it must be repeated that it did not ‘turn marxist’ and there is no thinking being for which to turn to any ideological position. It’s regurgitating slop it scraped off the internet that humans said

it’s telling that you have to come up with idealist hypotheticals of why Russia could be bad if they were like the US. Instead of just, looking at and describing reality where the USA is the fascist empire rampaging across the planet with 800 foreign military bases while Russia has 0.

You have been trained your whole life by the Liberal hegemonic worldview that was instilled as you in education and through media to immediately begin Rationalizing everything, digesting it into a soup where you are the good guy and those who oppose you are the bad guys. Every single geopolitical and historical fact you have ever encountered and discussed with others has been filtered through this Liberal Idealist Rationalizing process, where you break it down and come up with some hypotheticals or twist it through some contortions and what-ifs and allegories and metaphors until it comes out what you want it to.

Stop doing that. Just look at hard facts. Use materialism and empiricism. Stop being a fucking debate nerd who needs to turn everything into gotchas and rhetorical fallacies. It’s not only tiring to those who engage with you and makes you insufferable, it also makes it so you have no fucking idea what is actually happening on Earth and will consistently be wrong. Ever wonder why the “tankies” are always right, about opposing American Wars while you squishy idealist lefties are consistently incorrect and fall for it over and over? Why does your tendency always believe in every American imperialist project like Ukraine, Israel, Syria until it’s over or in serious decline and finally removes its mask? Maybe just try listening to the people who were right the whole time and continue to be right, and find out how it is they’re doing it (it’s materialist marxist analysis).

Xilots

It’s called making an argument using facts. As opposed to you, who makes no claims whatsoever and only waxed poetically about idealism without any connection to actual events. At least I’m talking about planet earth. Do you want wall of texts of links? Is that what would make you happy? You would come up with some other deflection and not look at them after I spend a couple hours aggregating them anyway, which is why I generally haven’t bothered, because Liberal like you don’t generally read or care.

it was right there

First order of business is always to negotiate a contract where union members get a raise that exactly matches the dues. Companies seethe and cope about this one little trick that makes union dues free.

I don’t think it would be pointless, it would win over the global south for a generation

They all become rabid Xi zealots as they switch their allegiance to the new strongman

The EU is already sanctioning Chinese solar panels and EVs I believe, they say it’s to protect their own renewable sectors but in actuality it’s more about keeping the price of renewable energy high so that oil can be competitive at higher prices.

I don’t think the US is already doing moves that overt with Taiwan, instead it’s more like sending a senator there in a publicity stunt. Nukes are another level of escalation beyond anything we’ve seen, but I don’t put it past the US. They already are getting them in Japan. They hilariously had a nuke in Japan in a cargo container submerged off the coast of a small unpopulated island, it was there for like a decade I believe. A nuclear weapon just sitting there unattended for years.

they’ll just pull some shit in Taiwan like landing a ton of Patriot systems and a nuke, forcing China to start a war to respond. Then they’ll rope the EU into their sanctions game. They already complain about the “over production” of EV vehicles and Solar Panels.

that’s not taking into account the upcoming energy crisis which only France will partially be able to mitigate. I believe most of this is in high end luxury products in terms of their mechanical outputs? I don’t see these types of things scaling well with more raw energy input. Their manufacturing economy is composed of primarily of highly specialized small-to-medium size enterprises, not large factories of scale that can be expanded more easily since they are in huge facilities and compounds. The dollar value of Italy’s manufacturing is high because it involves artisan and specialty products, but that doesn’t mean it’s total production is high. I’m not really talking about ‘more developed and more industrialized’ in a GDP sense but in a Marxian economic sense of centralization and monopolization and scale.

highly unlikely, France is already much more developed, industrialized and further along in its nuclear energy build-up.

only 15 years too late!

China cannot provide energy to Europe in the short term. Europe has to get that either from the USA, from Russia or from the Middle East (or some combination of the 3)

Since the imperialists have disabled all the Russian pipelines into Europe, and pretty permanently burned the bridges of their relations with Russia now Russia is pretty much off the table for a few decades at least. Plus their capacity is all going to China now anyway, and their oil and gas infrastructure is also being harried by Ukrainian attacks on Russian tankers, depots and refineries. They’ve layered so many sanctions onto Russia it will basically be legally impossible to unwind it, they’ve dug themselves a hole.

The Middle East is now off the table, since Europe stood by and watched a genocide for 3 years build into a massive regional war and let America escalate the war that then wiped out all of it in the short to medium term. For 5 years at least (even if the war ended and the strait opened today) the Middle East will be unable to provide any significant amount of energy to the EU. They could have intensely pressured the US and Israel to reel it in at any point since October 2023, but instead they have done the opposite, giving them diplomatic cover and military logistical assistance and censoring and brutalizing their own populations on behalf of Zionism.

So the EU had a chance where they could be independent, but they blew it. It’s probably too late now. They are now slaves to the USA energy markets for the medium term future at least - and yes, it is entirely the fault of European leadership and their myopic ideological view that allows the US to easily corner them and force them into whatever position it wants. If they had been less sinophobic, less russophobic, less zionist and pushed back more against the USA to guarantee Minsk 1 & 2 and the JCPOA then none of this would be happening.

5 pictures? Try 500,000, every single picture coming out of Ukraine has them. Even with the complicit Western press censoring and hiding them, half of the photos in their articles still show nazi-aligned symbols. They often take down their stories and photos when this is pointed out and put up new ones. Why does this keep happening even with the media that is in their corner?

Before 2022 there were hundreds of articles in the Western media about Ukraine’s Nazi problem, how systematic their infiltration into the Maidan government was. Then after the invasion in 2022, they were all memory-holed and deleted. You can only find them in archives now.

Ukraine is the most corrupt nation in Europe, with the most human trafficking - predominantly done by government connected Nazi gangs.

Ukraine is Zionist and a close ally of fascist Israel. Zelenskyy has stated his goal is “to become the Israel of Europe”. This along is justification for destroying their state to prevent this from forming. They vote in the UN alongside Israel and the US for genocide, and they vote in the UN against condemning Nazism.

Nothing systemic about the Nazi government? Are you aware of who runs the interior ministry, the SBD and Ukrainian police since 2014? All outright swastika tatted neo-Nazis, many of them jailed for murder, trafficking or corruption before 2014 and then released. Over 20 neo-Nazi organizations and militias have been absorbed into the official military, their leaders all promoted to positions of command and they are allowed to keep their Nazi insignia. They name streets after Bandera and other fascists who fought alongside the Nazis, and openly proclaim them as official state heroes. They run Nazi youth training camps for children where they heil Hitler and Bandera. They released Tornado units from jail who were imprisoned for sexual assault and murder to use as fighters. It was Nazi snipers who instigated the 2014 coup and Nazi militants who burned down the Trade Hall in Odessa, slaughtering the trade unionists inside. neither of which were punished by the new Nazi state installed by the CIA. Want me to keep going? What will convince you, do you need them to have swastikas on their foreheads or what? Do you want lists of names and nazi orgs? I can provide walls of text.

There has never been a more Nazi nation in existence except the original Nazis. They are not hiding it you just refuse to see.

If you think NATO is for defense you have some serious brain de-worming to do. You know the genocidal warmongers who kill millions have little interest in “defense”. Stop playing dumb. NATO is interchangeable with the USA, and the USA is the most fascist nation on Earth currently (alongside Israel and Ukraine, which it put into place and uses as proxies). Wake the fuck up dude you live in the Death Star.

sad to see how myopic you are and blinded by propaganda. maybe you should wonder why is “abusive imperialist modern russia” running the American oil embargo of Cuba to deliver humanitarian aid in the form of energy, the only one on Earth to do it? Why are they allying themselves closely to the DPRK and China? Why are they helping decolonize Africa and destroy the French and US backed terrorist groups? Why did they help stabilize Syria for so long and prevent it falling into Zionist Al Qaeda control much earlier?

You can answer 'they don’t have good intentions, it’s just in their interest to align against the imperialists and with their victims". OK, I don’t care. Russia fights on my side, meanwhile westerners never have not even the ‘leftists’.

If you learned a bit more about the Ukraine war you would realize they are right there as well. Ukraine was overtaken by a Nazi coup in 2014 and was built up by NATO to invade and balkanize Russia, starting by cleansing all the ethnic Russians in the Donbas regions. Tens of thousands dead by Nazi hands before Russia intervened. If anything Putin is too soft and too late, he should have hardened his heart earlier and done what was needed before it could fester and entrench itself to the extent it did but he kept getting strung along by the perfidious fake Minsk agreements (which Merkel openly admitted were done in bad faith and perfidiously to buy time to arm Ukrainian nazis)

It has sincerity in its tone, it takes the pain and dilemmas of its characters seriously. It’s not a total farce.
