you’re not really comparing apples to apples here
you made the comparison in the first place dude
In fact, everything they have done has pretty much been a victory outside of random sloppy losses on occaison
this is fucking laughable and as bad as NAFO posters who refuse to accept that Ukraine is losing the war
stop your doomer bullshit and realize what side you’re on
i would be in prison or worse if I lived in Russia because I am a transgender woman and an anti-imperialist communist. fuck off telling me to take anyone’s side other than the international proletariat.
lol fr? that’s awesome
do you seriously think the Russians have won a single victory in any theatre of this war so far which is close to comparable to the scale of victories the Red Army and western Allies were winning by 1944
like do you actually believe there’s any point of comparison between those military-industrial superpowers, one of which was a revolutionary socialist republic, and the half-failed neoliberal state of Russia vs the failed neoliberal state of Ukraine
mfs see the Russians take maybe three significant towns in their whole summer offensive and think “ah yes a modern Operation Bagration”
you dont get anywhere near any high office of state in the world if you’re willing to raise awareness of rich people being pedophiles and running child sex rings. it’s just not done.
who came up with genocide joe
iran clearly doesnt really give a shit about the suffering of the palestinian ppl so much as it gives a shit abt securing its own safety and stability and like whatever, i didnt expect any different, but it’s really grating to see them come out with a new statement every day or two being like “we are totally gonna fucking kill the zionist entity guys just wait and see, plans are in motion, our brave palestinian people will not be left waiting” throughout all of this. shit or get off the pot, losers. i used to have some positive feeling for them but they just let israel get away with the most heinous violation of their sovereignty and didn’t do a thing. Hezbollah and Yemen make them look pathetic by comparison.
Russians are really on the verge of turning the Donbass front into a rout at this point. Very little of the Ukrainian 2014 defensive line that hasn’t been surpassed, with the final section of it (around “New York” whose actual name escapes me right now) falling apart right now.
With it behind them, the Ukrainians have basically no ability to dig in and stop the Russians anywhere in the Donetsk oblast. Whatever happens in Kursk, embarrassing as it is for the Russian state, will not reverse the much more impactful gains the Russian army is making, and does not change the fact that the only thing standing between the Russian army and the Dniepr is time.
We’re very much leaving the regime of “stare at a static line on the map every day for the past year and a half”
the ones who were radical enough to present an actual threat to the present order got their heads smashed by scumbag pigs and fascist mobs within a month; the ones whose demands could be accommodated while maintaining the overall structure got allowed to peacefully disband their camps and enter “negotiations” with bloodsoaked faculties. very similar to how the 2020 uprisings went, really. the positive to draw from this is that the radical wing was way better organised, theoretically much more advanced, and able to move more quickly and adapt more effectively than in 2020 - which featured nothing like the level of organisation or vision we saw last spring.
to compare directly - look at the difference between the hopeless CHAZ/CHOP occupation, which was really the zenith of productive radical action during 2020’s uprisings, and the militant occupations of many buildings on campuses across the US - which went on for days, produced an outpouring of revolutionary theory and agitational material, and fended off all sorts of assaults before they had to send in police with damn near shotguns and accompanied by fascist mobs to dismantle them. that’s the difference that four years of development of the underlying social base for revolutionary politics has made. no signs point to this development slowing down, in fact the conditions in our societies mean that it’s likely to carry on accelerating. and the lessons learned from these uprisings will be learned and integrated just as the lessons learned from 2020 were in this last wave.
so keep your chin up and prepare for the next rupture, comrade, it’s coming.
americans are literally deeply evil, so many mfs who claimed to give a shit about the genocide in Palestine but since Harris got the nomination it’s become abundantly clear they were just irritated over the lack of a “competent” leader for the empire. i feel really awful for comrades over there who are having to deal with living in the midst of that, it must be soul-crushing. the only difference between zionist supremacism and amerikkkan supremacism is that the zionists are closer to the collapse of their system and thus more obviously, outwardly bloodthirsty, less wholly complacent.
Russia has succeeded in this war so far
not really
this site is too small and subcultural for feds to give a shit. maybe if we had an app and our posts got more than a few hundred views globally on a good day…
stop trying to pretend like the neoliberal shithole of modern Russia is anything near as effective a state structure as what the Bolsheviks delivered unto the world. there is no comparison to be made between the powers that fought WW2 and the ones fighting this war.
Did Ukraine just annex Russia?
well they could annex a tiny little bit of it and it would be more meaningful than the Russian annexation of Zaporizhzhia has done for the past two years lol
Russian commentators: the present state of affairs is unacceptable! nuclear-tipped grand offensive now! mobilise all men to the front and women into the factories! assassinate every leading NATO head of state with hypersonic weaponry!
Putin: we are aware of a concerning situation in the Kursk oblast. we must remember Stalin’s great and courageous leadership in these times and take heed. i have made funding available to the Bereznetzhov thermal optics factory to expand production by up to 30% by 2028 in light of this. we will not be intimidated by terrorists and the time of empty threats is over.
it’s not really his fault that the decaying neoliberal state structure cant really achieve any goals that don’t directly align with the goals of big capital. sure, it’s bad if totally undisputed Russian territory is being held by a relatively small Ukrainian force, but it would also be bad for business to do too much about it, or otherwise try and prevent this sort of national embarrassment from happening.
if Russia’s govt was more like China’s, where the state is independently strong enough to tell capitalist interests to fuck off where necessary in favour of national interests, then this would be impossible and the war would be over already as well
dont trust anything the great satan says
