She is horrific, but she isn’t as aggravating to me as Matt Miller’s fucking smirk. Especially when people were talking about U.S complicity in genocide and he just fucking smirks. That is a punch able face imo.

But Trump’s presidency is worse ofc

But it’s associated in my experience with uncritical support of the USSR in the Stalinist period.

I’m a Marxist Leninist, just not a campist or Stalinist tho

Yeah I’m a Marxist as well just not that sort

I’m Aussie, and Albo is a cunt, but I don’t want us to retaliate economically yet.

Like others have said it’s a minor impact on our industry so far. I’m more concerned about taxing these mining and resources corporations.

Ok yeah my bad abt Kosovo.

Re Afghanistan I would say 9/11 was not an act of war by Afghanistan, and more a terrorist attack by non-state actors. And the closest involved state actors were Saudi, Pakistani, and U.S moreso than Afghan anyway.

I’m sceptical about the extent to which NATO is controlled by the U.S vs. other members but I’m not too knowledgeable, but it seems at minimum U.S has outsized influence on NATO anyway, as like all the Supreme Allied commanders of Europe have been from the US I think, even though the head position of NATO has more European staff.

But yeah with article 5 and other factors it’s definitely possible Europe would defend Greenland, and I don’t think any of them would help invade it except maybe Hungary lol.

NATO isn’t really defensive.

It’s two main Engagements - Kosovo and Afghanistan - were pretty solidly offensive imo.

I saw the Hammer and Sickle on lemmy.ml and that was enough for me to know that they were probably Campists and Stalinists lol.

I guess it’s good Lemmy has the different instances(?) even tho it’s a bit annoying.
