US literally couldn’t achieve their goals in Afganistan.
Idk, comrade. They got plenty of money from opium trade, not to mention stealing government funds. Plus they ensured the region is destabilised and deindustrialized. Sounds like mission accomplished
Same way they talk about Germany or South Korea being occupied, probably - pretend it’s something else
That’s the thing, isn’t it? If the people in charge of making the decisions to end lives - to potentially end all life on Earth - are indeed high on their own fumes, they won’t hesitate to set the world on fire. Because they think they can win. Because “they always win”
“Nooo it’s just propaganda! He’s using the issue for personal promotion nooo!” - you guess who
What about the other way around?
Specifically black haircare products and not white haircare products
Is there a difference?
How’s the opposition situation in India? Any socialists? Or is it as infected with west-brained liberals as elsewhere?
There’s also going to be political motivation for whoever is in charge to cultivate this view since blaming the failure of the west to provide support will increasingly be the excuse from the regime. We’re already seeing the start of that with Zaluzhny blaming the failure of the offensive on lack of F16s and air defence.
Thing is, this type of “stab in the back” narrative would still require an unhealthy amount of nationalism (think British “lions led by donkeys” shite from WW1), and this will inevitably clash with the annexation (can’t think of a different term at the moment) of Crimea, DNR, Zaporozhye, etc.
And frankly it won’t undo the damage already done by weapons and infrastructure destruction, nor will it help bring socialism to the region
CoMbiNeD ArMs tactics NATO taught them
They forgot the most important element of the combination in these “combined arms” - bribing the everliving crap out of enemy leaders and fostering fifth columns.
Not that there weren’t attempts, but hardly to the degree of Iraq
Every day nationalising all European property in LatAm seems like a better idea
I mean, even without the “gringo” it would be sensible. Ya know, socialism and all that jazz
Will it start, though? Look at Russian liberals. Still hasn’t clicked. Most are still blaming our issues on “Sovoks” in government and believe Putin is building USSR 2.0
More like 1985. Perestroika has allowed for unprecedented liberal infestation, and the ideological rot that culminated in 1991 USSR dissolution. Then there was the 2003 orange “revolution”, which already spouted a large number of the same vile rhetoric you hear now.
It won’t be over even then. The end of the second Chechen war did not cease hostilities. Same here
Who’s the Molotov in this situation?
Which reminds me, whatever happened to that yankee drone spaceplane thing? X-31 I think it wa called. I remember it being rather spooky
