@lemmy.mlCapitalist do what capitalists do. Don't forget India is also acting as an intermediary for Europe in buying Russian oil. Can you imagine the bank Indian bourgeoisie are making?
Is it bad, or is it a sign of internal power struggle? Judging by the circus with Arestovich and the like, I would say there's ample evidence of other people wanting the top spot on the grift. Not counting for true believers and pissed off military officials
Even if we somehow pretend that it was just a "single individual", with no help, no assistance, nothing, do kindly activate your neurons and pause to think - what kind of socio-economic system would give people an incentive to do something like this? Hmmmmmmmm?!
On the one hand I have to wonder how much of a pathetic comprador one has to be for something like this. On the other hand, it shows that USA has not given up "their backyard".
Unless the base turns out to be Chinese or something, in which case I will look very silly. But given that the article itself mentions USA having a base there in the past, it's reasonable to guess where this is going
then an absolutist interpretation would mean you stop at your border when repelling invaders
Amusingly, that was the interpretation I've heard some years ago over at reddit from poles malding about USSR marching to Berlin and kicking nazis out of their country in the process.
The difference is your apparent double standards. But hey guess what? Capitalism does as capitalism is, regardless of the window dressing
