By all means go fight in Ukraine but leave me out of it.
Whoooa, what do you mean? France has the Legion for a reason.

Speaking of uniting. That's something I was interested by like smack dab in the beginning of 2022, but then war in Ukraine flared up and my attention was consumed by the resulting shitstorm ever since. Actually, observing US' culture wars did a lot to push me towards class consciousness.
Is that realistic in the US? Because what limited info I can get from the Internet suggests that libs greatly succeded in atomising the hell out of workers in the US into self-segregating minority communities and separating them from the majority of white workers with superstructure-focused euroleft brainrot.
I'm genuinely curious, thanks in advance for your perspectives.
P. S. If someone can write a post about this, that would be even more awesome.
It's mostly a shift in rhetoric. My point is that normalising the work of embassies is bare minimum for dialogue. We'll see whether this is circus for western(mostly US) audience or an honest attempt at something workable when actual talks about Ukraine/economic disputes are underway. Big bad orange man is quite the populist after all.
Otherwise, as Daniel Fried, a top former State Department official in both Republican and Democratic Party administrations, told Bloomberg News, lifting sanctions would be better held back as an incentive for Russia to keep to an eventual ceasefire.
So, never lifted or lifted piecemeal while Russia does what's demanded in full. Yeah, I'm pretty sure even Kremlin libs know better at this point, Mr. Expert.
Overall Bloomberg's version of sober just seems to be drinking every other day instead of being on an indefinite bender. Libs have their limits...
What's been undone? As far as I heard they basically agreed on...having talks about Ukraine later, normalising the diplomatic relationship and making presidents meet. Maybe. It's all declarative at this point.
Is Burr evolving into Carlin? Haven't watched him in years.
Russian advance on ~~Dnipro~~ Dnepropetrovsk is coming from Crimea and Donetsk, it's a different front from Kursk entirely, what's so confusing?
U.S. President Joe Biden's administration has concluded China uses unfair policies and practices to dominate the global maritime, logistics and shipbuilding sectors.
Kinda reminds me of this. Same impotent rage + denial of responsibility energy.
Then, Macron said what he had come to say. “Ingratitude is a disease that cannot be transmitted to humans. I say this for all the African rulers who haven’t the courage to wear it in the face of public opinion. None of them would be in a sovereign country today if the French army hadn’t been deployed in this region.” Be grateful. We made you. This is the old colonial attitude that would be familiar to the old French colonial heads Louis Faidherbe (Senegal), Henri Gouraud (Syria), Paul Doumer (Indochina), and Joseph Gallieni (Madagascar), nasty men, all of them.
Vijay Prashad is real generous, not pointing out how clearly racist this shit is. Lilbuddy macaron must be real mad about the state of affairs in Africa, raving like this.
At times it can even be that they don't consider it a force for good, but the belief it's enemies are always way worse is ironclad.
