“Tisdall is a proponent of regime change as a political and military tool of Western bloc countries to enforce a change of government or leadership in an opposing or designated enemy country.”
Why am I not surprised.
Do it, NATO. I dare you. I want to see US troops dying in Ukraine.
Me too, but at the same time, I don’t want a draft AT ALL
I will leave the US the minute I hear whispers of a draft occurring if that were to be a concern.
Go south. The canucks would just force you to enlist at the border whether you were called up or not.
I wouldn’t want to go to Canada anyway. Fear over where the US is going has been a huge motivating factor in improving my spanish I will say
I really need to start learning Chinese for this reason.
Speaking as a latino, I would rather not be shot by the border patrol nazis. You think they give a shit about my I.D. as soon as they see my skin color?
is it just me or does that picture of the
propogandistwriter look like the epitome of a Liberal wanker?The face of a guy who would be celibate the rest of his life if his government (1) cracked down on prostitution and (2) started rigorously enforcing age-of-consent laws.
They really want to start a third world war
Based on our track record it seems to be heading in that direction. I hope it doesn’t come to that.
Well yes, the world is restructuring itself. They got fat after the fall of the USSR, but not as much as they wanted.
Nothing is ever enough for capitalist parasites. They could monetize the multiverse itself and still speak of upcoming quarterly profits.
I don’t much like this Tisdall guy. Occasionally I look over The Guardian, and whenever I see one of his opinion pieces, it’s always something along the lines of “why not enforcing Anglo imperialist aims is bad!”
And the sad part is that he genuinely seems to believe that continued Anglo dominance is somehow a positive thing for the world

His entire worldview seems to stem from that. Couping and usurping other countries is totally fine, long as it is the western powers that do it.
The over/under for some talking head saying “To save the
villageUkraine, we must destroy it” with a straight face is August 17.How is this person qualified to write this article if, in a “profession” publication he can’t write NATO in uppercase?
I often write “nato” but I do it intentionally to signify my derision. I also do this with “nazis” “trump” and “biden.”
Yeah, but you aren’t writing news articles. News articles ought to always use the offical name
There’s a risk […] that Zelenskiy will be forced into negotiations
Oh well, quite mask off
don’t you get it? how can we establish democratic peace if we don’t bomb those russians and take over their land? You can’t be kind and talk it out, especially against these russians. Now I understand civilians are involved. But then, why did they vote for Putsin? They aren’t so different from the government, and if they hate it so much, just get out of there. not that difficult. why are people talking about international peace relations as if it can be achieved? Violence is inherent in us. It is a human trait. Didn’t international peace cause Stalin and Nazi Germany to kill 10 trillion people? People should take this more seriously and keep emotions off politics. For fucks sake.
Would’ve been a 10/10 lib spew if you’d have found a way to work ‘the end of history’ somewhere in there; as such I can only award this a 7.8 out of 10
how can we establish democratic peace if we don’t bomb those russians and take over their land?
Barely anybody says that besides some uninteresting figures mentioning a ridiculous idea of balkanizing Russia… (Balkanize my balls).
But then, why did they vote for Putsin?
Putin isn’t a legitimate leader who got honest public’s vote. In reality most of Russians who are dependent to governmental institutions are forced to participate in the electoral apparatus for statistics’ sake only. People just have to show up. There’s various cases of fully discovered falsifications, independent spectatorship isn’t allowed. The whole process is just shady, especially after “online vote” has been established, which has pretty non-trasperent protocol.
They aren’t so different from the government, and if they hate it so much, just get out of there. not that difficult.
Unironically this, since the summer of 2021 Zelensky has been pushing for proper face-to-face negotiations with Vladimir Putin personally and was… Geopolitically ghosted. Zelensky was ready to make Pashinyan at the start of the war and basically… Give up Crimean region. Seeing all of the tactical and local failures of Russian military made it obvious that they weren’t planning for long-term, full-scale attrition war that required full involvement and genuine contributions from society.
Why are people talking about international peace relations as if it can be achieved?
Modern humanity established certain systems throughout these two centuries, despite all of the internal contradictions of modern governments’ development and longing for full-scale mobilized and militarized societies, we created mostly consistent precedents of geopolitical relations… Yes, they’re hypocritical, yes, they’re not fair and they left an irrational policeman with a huge propane baton in charge of our globalized economy, but at least they prevent consistent genocides, long-term attrition wars amongst European nations.
Didn’t international peace cause Stalin and Nazi Germany to kill 10 trillion people?
Entirely backwards, Stalin and Nazi Germany killing 10 trillion people caused international peace.
That line pissed me off bc Xi Jinping and a few other non-aligned states have tried to get them to the diplomatic table and end this, but obv Zelenskyy was too self-centered and war-hungry to see reason.
I heard about Xi Jingping doing this but never heard what resulted of that. Does anyone have good documentation of the conversation?
Zelensky told Xi he want Crimea back
Please correct me if I’m wrong, but didn’t Crimea (or was it a different region) want to be annexed by Russia and that’s what made NATO step in?
Crimea was handed to Ukraine by Krushchev in the time of the USSR, it was Russian before that for I don’t know how long, but as others said pretty much everyone living in Crimea is Russian to this day.
it was Russian before that for I don’t know how long
1783, the fall of Crimean Khanate, but most of population was Slavic for a loong time by then, Tatars ruling it were a minority.
