Is it blithe idiocy which prevents the “liberal” warmongers from recognizing the progression of US imperialism over the last 30 years? Selective amnesia? (1/22)

Is it a two-working-crayons cartoonish political and historical illiteracy that craters their ability to understand the situation at hand? (2/22)

An unpleasant return to 1914-style children’s delusions about the joys of World War has been fostered by the US political and media establishment. It has been well prepared. Taking as its primordial base the Russophobia and Sinophobia of the Red Scare and the Cold War, (3/22)

it was updated with the Russiagate liberal conspiracy theories of the 2016-2020 period. Conspiracy theories no less out of their mind than anything that the nutcase right spewed out. (4/22)

All the old pearl clutching absurdities about a “new Hitler” previously used to push the pedal on wars in regards to Milosevich, Saddam, Gaddafi and Assad are rehashed to use against Putin. In Congress, (5/22)

the corrupt actor and weapons money launderer Zelensky sickly proclaims Russians to be inhuman. Biden says “there are no red lines” on what the US is ready to do to push Russia against the wall.

Make no mistake, the US is the instigator of this war. (6/22)

Washington sponsored and planned a color revolution in Ukraine in 2014 (the most recent of many, many such interventions over the past 30 years) and spent the mean time arming Ukraine to the teeth, integrating their own armed forces, (7/22)

weaponry and intelligence with that of Ukraine’s right wing regime’s supply of human cannon fodder.

When Ukraine pivoted from the Minsk agreement and proclaimed its intentions to recapture Crimea, (8/22)

Donbas and join NATO the Russians recklessly took the bait and walked into the killing fields of an intractable quagmire. (9/22)

They are unable to extradite themselves from this situation as the US and its Nato allies use the Ukraine war as a cheap means of destroying Russia’s military in the hopes of ultimately dismembering it and using its territory to further surround China, (10/22)

a concurrent target of US imperialism.

There is nothing worth defending about the Russian regime’s reactionary and dangerous attempt to preserve itself. The attempt to do so however was inevitable and the outcome was planned by Washington. (11/22)

The liberal warmongers cheer and cry tears of maniacal joy at all this bloodshed in the name of B movie scripting by the western media. We will not lie or compromise with the brainless mental cowardice of the petty bourgeoisie and the liberal hangers on of US capitalism. (12/22)

The task of workers and socialists is to unite internationally and end the war by overthrowing the capitalists regimes of A) the NATO countries B) those nations it considers its enemies, such as Russia and China C) those nations, like Ukraine, who are its proxies. (13/22)

We don’t care about preserving capitalism in any country, we don’t stand for patriotism in any country, we don’t celebrate capitalist war, we don’t respect the borders or planning or intrigues of capitalist governments. (14/22)

We seek to overthrow the capitalist world order and break the resistance of its capitalist rulers to world peace. This is only possible through socialist revolution. There is no other road. If the US was to “win” for now, destroying a good portion of the world, (15/22)

ruining Asia north and east. It would only set the stage for the next re-division of power. Like the 1930s, America is arming Europe, and inevitably Europe will come to view America as its rival, whatever the fate of Russia or China. (16/22)

This is the inevitable march of capitalism; greater and greater destruction and war. This is nothing to rise and applaud at. There is a good chance that, before it destroys the environment altogether, (17/22)

before it throws the mass of the population into third world levels of poverty and want; that the US imperialists will simply end the human race through nuclear exchange. This is the future; either endless “new Hitlers," (18/22)

endless “wars for Democracy” endless “wars for Freedom” until there is not a single stone of civilization left standing, or a socialist revolution of the mass of humanity taking power from the war frenzied bourgeoisie and their paid servants in the press and academia. (19/22)

As for the war crazed petty bourgeoisie and the Langley puppets and bots that dominate discourse on the beginning of World War Three. We spit in their faces. (20/22)
