“The bourgeois mode of production is the last antagonistic form of the social process of production… but the productive forces developing within bourgeois society create also the material conditions for a solution of this antagonism” — Marx, A Contribution to the Critique of Political Economy
Wrt doing “nothing”:

And wrt “bomb[ing] Russian speakers”:
North Korea could not have been forced to use their troops to attack Ukraine if Kim Jong Un did not want them too.
Truly brilliant. Also there is no evidence the DPRK is deploying troops to attack Ukraine.
I don’t know how the world should deal with Biden, truly. Russia is not the power that is issuing threats. NATO did exactly what they recognized for decades would push Russia to invade. Ask how Russia should deal with a foreign power covertly manipulating their neighbor’s politics to elevate Nazis who would go on to bomb Russian speakers.
Iran and the DPRK are in no position to allow Russia to do anything.
Your ideology has zero explanatory power in the real world. “Fanatic” means nothing now.
Nobody said it wasn’t a “big deal.”
{ In 2008, US Ambassador (later CIA Director) William Burn cautioned that NATO expansionism “particularly to Ukraine” could cause a Russian invasion, stating, “In Ukraine, [fears surrounding such expansion include] that the issue could potentially split the country in two, leading to violence or even, some claim, civil war, which would force Russia to decide whether to intervene.” He goes on: “Experts tell us that Russia is particularly worried that the strong divisions in Ukraine over NATO membership, with much of the ethnic-Russian community against membership, could lead to a major split, involving violence or at worst, civil war. In that eventuality, Russia would have to decide whether to intervene; a decision Russia does not want to have to face.”
{ In June 2022, a WSJ/National Opinion Research Center poll showed 55% of Ukrainians believed NATO (and 58% wrt the US, 70% wrt the Ukrainian govt.) bears some/a great deal of responsibility for the Russian invasion and ongoing war.
Russian propaganda runs deep!!
So true my fren. And I think we underestimate Putin’s influence. He’s been controlling Biden too, from the shadows. The only difference is they’re friends. See below, where I’ve placed an image of Biden and Putin smiling and shaking hands, something only friends do.
Show it then? It would be much more effective than “yes there is.”
