People will figure out that the war in Ukraine actually started before 2014.

The tanks and howitzers are not at Bucharest and they can’t drive 200 km/h.

Why would the navy be relevant? The war is about controlling the area that cannot be reached by ships.

Under actual socialism, the state owns the means of production. There is no private sector to tax. There is no flow of revenue from independent businesses because those businesses no longer exist as independent entities. Your points about taxation, profit collection, and philanthropy only make sense inside a mixed economy, precisely the system you claim to be replacing.

That’s your explanation. I quoted Wikipedia showing that there can be a flow of revenue. So why can’t socialism work like single payer healthcare?

Could that also be said about the divided left?

Thanks.

In which way is Russia going to oppress Ukrainians? How will it compare to their treatment of other minorities?

While, as I understand, Russia is going to oppress Ukraininas on a level of government

What do you expect?

Russia should know full well … countries on the path to destroy themselves … wait a decade and win.

There is a growing division of the AfD in Germany between eastern and western oriented politicians. I am not sure if Russia can rely on controlling those parties in 10 years.

French four-star General Philippe de Montenon said he’s confident Europe could prevail, even without the US on side.

This is discussed too rarely. Does anybody know of a source that makes a reliable comparison?

occupy Ukraine or turn it into puppet state

Britain got out of the EU for this reason.

abuse them

What about the posts about Amazon working conditions and US healthcare? At least Germany is approaching US conditions.

Their argument is that they didn’t break the agreement.

We call the Russian influence on the West hybrid war, wouldn’t the Western influence in Ukraine be the same?

Socialism does not work it

What’s your argument against it working if single payer healthcare works?

Minsk II, they are pointless. People even question US and French Nato commitment.

But hypothetically speaking, why should Russia be bound to the agreement if the West actually did a regime change?

I hope you laugh with me 😀

Downvotes tell me not everybody has.

and security assurances from the United States and Russia.

The US pressured Ukraine to accept assurances and not guarantees. It matters which kind of guarantees are given.

agreed not to attack Ukraine in order to get Ukraine to give up its nuclear weapons.

Russia argues that there was a regime change in 2014 which released them from that agreement.

What’s even the thought there

There will be airfights and Trump is minimizing civilian casualities.
