    I have no doubt that the US was behind the destruction of Nord Stream 2, Biden said as much in 2022 in the lead up to the war

    During a joint press conference with German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, President Biden is asked about the Nord Stream 2 pipeline.

    “If Russia invades, that means tanks or troops crossing the border of Ukraine again, then there will no longer be a Nord Stream 2. We will bring an end to it.”

    when asked how, the president says, “I promise you, we will be able to do that.”

    Once you stand on the side of the occupying regime commiting unspeakable acts of horror, your only option is to condemn the oppressed for their suffering. It’s the only way to square the circle. It’s the only way to maintain the illusion that you’re supporting The Good Guys.















  • I’ll take the bait. Stalin was a great leader. His firm grasp of Marxist economic theory and dialectical materialism helped him turn a backwards agrarian post-tsar Russia into a space-faring economic powerhouse in only a few decades, which is not an easy feat even if you aren’t fighting for survival in a world war where fascists are kicking down your door and trying to eradicate you.

    Putin is a piece of shit vulture squatting on the corpse of a once great nation, and I hope he fucking dies. Though I will say, his recent visits to the DPRK and Viet Nam were great and I hope he follows through on his promises of cooperation, it would be an immense economic boon to the Korean people. Hopefully someday we see a reunified, prosperous Korean peninsula. Very much a “broken clock” situation, imo.
