At the first meeting, the Russians presented a set of harsh conditions, effectively demanding Ukraine’s capitulation. This was a nonstarter.

Regarding territorial issues, parts of the Donetsk and Lugansk regions of Donbass would remain under Russian control

Moscow ostensibly wanted Kiev to slash the size of its army to 85,000 people, while Ukraine insisted on retaining a strength of 250,000.

    The “European democracies” already undermined themselves by allowing capital to exert as much control as they want, and just allowing themselves to be vassalized by the USA. They join the USA in funding and supporting fascists and engage in regime change all over the world in order to continue to extract super profits from the global south so that they can stay rich and placate their own citizens by sharing some of that stolen wealth.

    And this whole war was a result of a plan to exploit Ukraine’s human and material resources in a similar way, with the ultimate goal of doing the same to Russia. This is why the west has been supporting Banderite neo nazis in Ukraine for many decades.

    The fascists lost WWII but won the Cold war. The DDR had far better gender equality, gay rights, and trans rights than the BRD.

    Parties like BSW accept and attempt to work within the divisions among the working class along ethnicity, gender, sexuality, and disability status that were created by the ruling class in order to prevent the development of class consciousness. But into doing so they reinforce these divisions and allow themselves and class consciousness to be weakened. All while promoting bigotry. That is why I oppose them. Not because of their positions on Russia.

      This does not conflict with my statement?

      I would say it’s just two democratic nations who’ve decayed into the natural cycle of nationalistic authoritarianism that awaits all capitalistic nations, who just so happen to be beefing over the same turf. I don’t really know why people assume Russia is immune to the same dissolution as any other democratic nation.

      Right… But the DDR has far better gender equality, gay rights, and trans rights than modern Russia. Which is now a democratic and capitalist state.
