@hexbear.netYoutube is a primary source now. A lot of people take information from some [insert cracker specialist on random topic here] specialy about social/economic topics but realy everything.
And to be fair there is also some actualy decent and informative channels too which makes it even worse because its not like everything on the internet/YT is false or wrong its just you picking idiot grifters as your source.
Or will they still be under CIA control/support and do occasional terrorist attacks against Russia.
Pro-Russian commentary admits for some time now that the Donbass region is not enough to ensure safety. The war wont end soon, they want a bigger buffer. Some say it includes Odessa and Kiev, some even say 60-80% Ukraine except the far west.
Point is though everyone understands if the war "ends" now it wont stop the Nazis from continuing their terrorist attacks.
But also the other most important point is Russia can't actualy enforce honesty and neutrality from Ukraine. The US will definitely rebuild the Ukrainian army eventualy which is also why the rethoric of denazification and demilitarization i.e destroy their army so that rebuilding is impossible in the short term and in the long term Ukraine wont have a population/society to support a real army regardless of US funding.
Zelensky is irrelevant, westerners don't care about him for a long time now. Ukraine is only a myth about western values and evil Putler and any "legitimate" Ukrainian leader can replace him.
How is he holding on? Who knows but Nuland and her team definitely protected him from the Zaluzhny coup.
By far the best science YT channel. Also Sean Carroll's Biggest Ideas playlist for introduction
Simpler explanation is blaming MS generates more views and clicks than a random company 99.9% never heard of specialy when you can use some hand wavy circumstantial evidence to support that.
The media doesn't care about "truthful" or "responsible" journalism(if you believe these words have meaning). Its all a business now so who actualy cares? MS is a megacorp, they'll do fine regardless.
The Democrats under Biden have proven to be the more genocidal warmongering, pro-cop, anti-immigration, and pro-Zionist party than the Republicans. The Democrats have been eating their lunches and all they have left is “culture war” and “wokeness”.
Are you trying to give the Dems credit for moving to the right on those issues? I hope not because by all measures it was a losing strategy.
Make no mistake Biden is a corpse but he is also a ghoul with a neoliberal admin that absolutely refuses to tackle material issues and spent 4 years gaslighting the population as the country headed into the economic abyss.
Even Biden would not be in this bad shape if the dems actualy tried to secure the liberal/progressive vote by actualy trying to get even bare basic wins on progressive issues.
I don't believe this is a hot take to say Biden would be the favorite if the Dems actualy tried to govern with the actual intent on pushing even remotely left policies and winning.
The reason the GOP can't easily attack Kamala is because remember that traditional conservatism is long dead. The Bush era GOP concerned with budget and shit? They moved away from that because nobody actualy gives a shit about the government deficit or military budget. The 2008 crisis already jokerfied millenials back then with all the government bailouts if you remember. Why care about budget when the elite gets free money whenever they want?
Too big to fail was a fairly important cultural/political point of that era.
Now Trump is a once in a lifetime figure due to his charisma but he also only exaggerated this trend. The GOP doesn't have a political platform except racism since the Bush era, its old news.
If Biden did not have an impairment of mental cognition that seriously affected his re-election prospects, the Republicans would have been toast. The party would not exist in 10 years as a half competent political party, and would more likely devolve into a country club for MAGA crazies yelling at clouds.
This is the future of the Republican Party. They’re done.
Probably true I agree. The problem is the dems don't want this to happen, hence the current climate. The dems are about to lose an election they should win because they must walk the line between deliberately gaslightling liberals and not doing it so much that the GOP actualy dies and the dems end up being blamed for everything and having to actualy govern.
A fundamental part of Dem strategy is blaming Republicans for everything and they can't do that if the GOP dies. Hence there will always be this status quo where Dems only realy lose due to their own incompetence.
Instead of talking about muscle you should argue in favor of just being "fit" as in being capable of walking/running without having a heart attack is much more useful than having a 6 pack.
For the purposes of mutual aid and surviving climate change your physique is also quite a bit less relevant than actual useful skills. Knowing any real job away from a desk is what you could argue for.
Anything else here is just noise imo.
Biden’s strategy was much simpler and effective: impoverish Europe, then transplant the European immigrant workers fleeing war and fascism into America to help build the Fourth Reich.
The war is very far from Central EU and the "white" label becomes more and more honorary the further east you go.
Besides why are we mixing up narratives? We know the material and historical origin of the war. We also know why the sanctions were put in place and we definitely know Biden even 2 years ago was just as senile as he is today.
His neolib foreign policy team only cared about Ukraine as an opportunity to weaken Russia while allowing for more grifting for the MIC. There was never this grand master plan or any other.
They actualy believed the sanctions would work. They actualy believed Russia would at minimum suffer a color revolution or get stuck on Afghanistan 2.0. They literaly wrote articles about this possibility.
So we can't turn around and pretend they actually had a plan and thought the EU would crash or even that the white ubermench would be suffering so much they would take a plane ticket to work in a Mcdonalds in NY.
