it's good to be ahead of the curve :)

Where do you think 5% military spending is going to come from. It's gonna be funded by austerity and cuts to science.

I think if the proletarians were able to read it back at the start of the 20th century when literacy was far worse and information was much harder to access, there's little excuse for people not to read it today. It's the one proven way to improve conditions for the working majority. We are in a privileged position where all the theory and practice is available to us having been won by prior generations, and we're too lazy too bother learning it.

incredibly, hence why Blackrock is already dumping Ukraine https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-07-05/blackrock-halted-ukraine-fund-talks-after-trump-s-election-win

lol yeah it's in the name

that's a very similar scenario now that you mention it

The key part is that the overall European budget for science is microscopic in comparison. Very few scientists will actually be able to move there.

That's by far the most frustrating aspect of the whole thing. It's not like they were hiding this. You can literally read articles like this, published in mainstream press explaining in detail why the US wanted to have a proxy war with Russia. It's all in the open, and yet we're still having these struggle sessions with people adamantly denying that this is a proxy war.

Yeah, like how do they not see this project as being strategic for them.

It’s simply breathtaking to watch the meltdown of people who’ve spent three years guzzling propaganda, when reality finally intrudes into their bubble.

I love how you trolls always start making personal attacks when faced with news you don't like. Also love how you're insinuating that official Ukrainian media is disinformation.

I'm not really clear on what the plan is either. The US failed in their attempt at isolating China economically, they don't have military capacity to subjugate China by force, and they're entirely dependent on China economically. This would be a comical situation if the US didn't sit on a giant nuclear stockpile.

Which is the desirable outcome if the government represents the working class and exercises violence against attempts at a capitalist counterrevolution.

Right, and that's why talk of authoritarianism is infantile. The question that's actually important is whose interest the government represents.

the worry I have is that it would end in a nuclear holocaust because the US regime would rather kills us all than accept that it's no longer the global hegemon

A local park, looks especially awesome in fall when it's foggy. Some pics from last year.

the west doesn't have industrial capacity to fight ww3
