It's at the root of our current shakedowns: the more the Petro-Havenots turn into Electrostates, the faster the window of opportunity closes for the Petrostates to turn gas and oil into golden toilets and/or drones. Listen to this lecture by @adam_tooze youtube.com/watch?v=gLnxzk…

Adam Tooze: Electrostates, Petrostates and the New Cold War
Applies to larger countries as well: Putin complaining about the US using raw power to meddle with Venezuela stems from the same delusion.
I call it austrian fascism syndrome. Very common among the far right of smaller countries these days. They just can't understand that the bigger fascists will eat them too given a chance and are suprised when it happens.
Slowly but steadily the left is waking up. berlinergazette.de/why-russias-so…
A joint European army has the nice side effect of keeping our traditionally warring elites in check.
Because France and the UK famously have no strong far-right parties whatsoever.
Spanien: Ex-Minister in U-Haft wegen Korruptionsverdacht bei Maskenkäufen. Deutschland: Die Spahn Masken-Milliardendeals sind bis heute nicht aufgeklärt - noch nicht mal ein parlamentarischer Untersuchungsausschuss ist mit der Union möglich. Fehlende Aufklärung killt Vertrauen.
Don’t you have your own healthcare system to meddle with instead of trying to introduce medical bankruptcy into the German setup?
Spheres of Influence Imagination vs. Reality
Those discussing how the international rule of law has recently ceased to exist should remember how the Cold War unfolded and what happened in the spheres of influence of the US and the USSR for decades. I strongly recommend, in addition to history books, playing the acclaimed…
Well, listen to Grok: fossile fuels kill far more birds than wind turbines.
So ein Unsinn, den er da von sich gibt. Die Ukrainische SSR und die Belorussische SSR waren, anders als die RFSSR, sogar UN-Mitglieder.
Trickle down economics trickled down from the US into the rest of the west and poisoned our societies.
for decades, the structure of us society, by intent and design, was remade to redistribute wealth, resources, property and opportunity from the working class to the wealthiest. president trump was not the cause of this. his election, much as gains of the populist left at the…
Ostalgie verkehrt: ein deutscher Kommunist wünscht sich Molotow-Ribbentrop zurück. Nur sitzen die Faschos heute im Kreml.
Usually, any message only slightly critical to Russian activities is swamped with propaganda slop. But this truth bomb was probably too hard to react to. You can’t shout warmongers at the Europeans when your chief propagandist gets a medal for promoting a literal death cult.
"The war has returned the meaning of life to my generation." The Kremlin's top propagandist said this while receiving a state medal from Putin himself. Not me saying it, not any "warmonger" in the West. This is what Europe is facing. The war is here. Fight or lose.
Q.E.D. a war of irritation Enjoy the irritated comments
Putin smiles when your wifi fails: he’s waging a war of irritation Call it hybrid war, shadow war, or whatever the latest vogue vague term, my take on Putin's weaponisation of inconvenience for @thetimes thetimes.com/world/europe/a…
Einflusszonen sind weder verbrieftes Erbrecht noch Einbahnstraßen. Wenn Dein Einfluss so mickrig wird, dass Du Deine Armee als letztes Argument losschickst, hast Du keine Einflusszone. Wenn Du dann noch mit nuklearen Sprengköpfen wedeln musst, gibst Du Dich schon verloren.
Sums it up nicely and is true for many of the RU supporters in the global south (except the real estate bit: India or South Africa don’t have any long standing open claims on “russified” lands).
China isn't uniting with Russia as much as controlling it and absorbing it, which will continue as long as Putin is there because he has no choice if he wants to survive. Russia is a gas station, real estate, and an icebreaker ship for China against the Western world order.
