Note that for pro-war “Russia is losing more” etc. comments in that article, NYT is quoting Frederick Kagan, of the infamous neocon Kagan family, Victoria “Cookie Monster” Nuland married into (for another also neocon Kagan brother), while Institute for the Study of War is “ultra-hawkish” neocon “think-thank” of which another Kagan, Kimberly Kagan, is the president of.

They are all quite literally far-right fascist Project for the new American Century psychos. Thank you liberal NYT for bringing us their valuable opinions.

But once they do, they get a Netflix TV show (“Baby”, 2018).

Pretty old news. This pier has already unceremoniously fallen apart, while doing absolutely nothing to help Gaza relief efforts, for the brief period it was active.

Additionally, I have more and more average Americans online telling me they want to move to Europe, so things are pretty bad over there as well. They just don’t know Europe is worse off.

Europe shot itself in the legs by decoupling from Russian gas, then shot itself in the head by placing tariffs on green technology because it basically has to come from China.

It’s so over for Europe it’s not funny. I am afraid things can only get worse…

US/Europe are immensely benefitting…

Proxy war in Ukraine is an absolute disaster for European economies and the US are not doing so well either.

Kinda hard to be reasonable when fighting for survival

Correction, western-backed Ukronazi regime is fighting for survival. Regular Ukrainians are fighting for survival by evading forced conscription by Ukronazis.

Oh, and a giant PR failure

So, AFU is fighting for PR, while Russian forces are fighting a war of attrition. Guess who will prevail.

And women are at fault of getting raped?

Those responsible for proxy war in Ukraine are sitting in Washington, not Kremlin.

Citation needed

Ukronazi MoD regularly posting Nazis in AFU should be enough for anyone with more than 2 braincells. Top ranking Ukronazi official said all civilians in Crimea are considered valid targets, when they recently attacked a beach full of civilians with ATACMS missile.

Why would you support OUN Ukronazi regime is the question here? That’s what most Europeans are asking themselves these days, while their economies slowly crumble and they suffer under neoliberal austerity measures.

This so called “Pax Americana” we occasionally hear about, only applies to Western countries, but the author is trying to expand it to entire world, which is obviously ridiculous, given, you know…the reality.

This literally made me laugh out loud.

If I remember correctly, they had their communist party split in two, so both the party in power and main opposition are communist.

However, the country is not doing that great, people are leaving for work etc, so what seems to me like liberals are gaining some traction now, at least locally, as my Nepalese colleague tells me.

Serbian monarchists/fascists are the mainstream these days. Croatia officially “observes” anti-fascism, but in reality the parliament sponsors a fascist event in Austria etc.

Both of the countries are not as openly fascists as Ukraine imo. Not even close.

This is IMF forecast data. Check how it looks like for the G7. Spoiler: it’s far worse than this forecast for China. How does the forecast of 1% US growth in 2024 fit into your “stable growth of the US”?

China is still growing far faster than the G7 so you missed the point entirely.

ICJ judges rejected Kiev’s argument that Russia used false claims of a genocide in Donbas to justify its invasion

I did and I still don’t get it where “ICJ judges rejected Kiev’s argument that Russia used false claims of a genocide in Donbas to justify its invasion”. Could you please elaborate? I genuinely want to rub this into someones face…

They are very likely not going to do that. Proving a genocide is an extremely tricky business. The Srebrenica genocide committed by the Bosnian Serbs was very hard to prove IIRC.

This is why the Uyghur “genocide” nonsense was so infuriating to me. Only the Zionists are unhinged enough to openly and proudly admit, they are, in fact, doing a genocide, so the court almost has no choice but to proceed with that case in particular.

This is literally the GDP growth rate. I don’t think you know what you are talking about, but please point us to a definition of the indicator you are talking about as well as to the comparison by country.

Is that really an argument here? I see here Ukraine accusing Russia of genocide, not what you wrote in the headline.
