Ask any right wing conservative and they want the same things.
You’re a borderline exhibit for what I stated.
13·1 year agoHow does lying help Ukraine? They thought Russian army was running out of ammunition and morale was lost before they attacked. Then they ran into a slaughter and haven’t even made their way to the first defense line.
Lying is hurting them not helping them.
“The link between Christian nationalism and the fascist threat to our democracy is clear.”
I’m seeing it. I’m also seeing liberals bring their woke fascism when they ban influencers and online content they don’t like. Neither side wants to admit they’re being fascists.
3·1 year agoDedollarization has begun. Takes a long time to get dollar denominated debts off balance sheets and to replace it with alternatives though.
Slowly but surely.
Trade divergence is costly. Firms and people tend to like paying less for goods when they’ve derived from the most efficient trade options than to pay more for goods because of political reasons. Especially if those political reasons are mostly associated with the geopolitical interests of the elite and not their own interests.
Trade has a funny way of overcoming political nonsense.
Russia is holding a great deal of their reserves back from this conflict. Ukraine is literally forcing people to join their military while Russia has thousands volunteering every week now. Support for the war increased dramatically after shells hit Russian soil. Russia’s increasing military industrial capacity has reinvigorated their economy to the point that Bretton Woods institutions are projecting higher growth for them than most of the countries sanctioning them.
On top of that the Ukrainian counter-offensive has gone so terribly for them that Putin is now able to sell the success of this “special military operation” to the people while having the luxury of considering alternative outcomes depending on what kind of losses they want to take after this recent Ukrainian effort is over.
Russia seems to have only turned into a pariah state for the Western world. The opposite for the rest.
Rolling Stone is making a fundamental association fallacy here.
I don’t believe RFK Jr is a while supremacist by any stretch.
Ukraine hasn’t even reached the first anti-tank trenches yet, which are at the first line of defense which is part of at least three lines of defense (depending on location). They’ve taken very heavy losses to this point too.
Ukraine is getting stomped, and that’s why the NATO bosses are now talking about possibilities like a coalition of the willing or even giving Ukraine tactical nukes in one extreme case I read.
Ukraine can’t even get people to sign up anymore without forcing them. They’re begging for weapons all over the world, and facing increasing resistance for that supply.
Meanwhile Russia is cycling reserves and allowing them furlough time, and their military industrial capacity has increased to the point that newly produced weapons and armor are appearing all over the front lines.
You can’t maintain this lie for much longer. The evidence is increasingly revealing. Personally I think after this counter-offensive is over it won’t be possible any longer.
