hold on, i thought the policies of the last two decades were all intended to prevent this precise outcome and you’re telling me they didn’t even do that?

shock, nay, horror

I want to throw rotten fruit and veg at him, that’s the bare minimum

I appreciate the urgency in this piece, but disagree with the premise that this is somehow exclusively a result of Trump’s bullying.

I think there is a desperate need for more popular materialist analysis on the question of NATO spending increases. I’m also convinced that anti-militarism must (once again) become the beating heart of any wider socialist popular movement, certainly in Europe.

Scheidler covers both the the fact that European elites legitimacy may now be tied completely to the Ukraine war, after three years of wall to wall propaganda, and rearmament as a convenient stalking horse for gutting European welfare states.

FUCK outta here

it’s not supposed to do that? excuse me hello?

now that would really show the russians what’s what

has anyone read one of his books?
