As sentinels to keep
Your rest from danger free.

The RU defense industry is implementing long term efforts to increase T-90 tank production and recreate RU’s pre-war tank reserves, indicating that RU intends to present a long term military threat to NATO. (1/5)

I also find it weird how every commie who insists they are not a marxist leninist and sings songs about how marxism leninism is rightwing and blah blah... always preaches marxist leninist viewpoints. From the notion of there being an imperial core, to the intellectual vanguard, to other Soviet shit.

I blame 1950s American political scientists for that. They came up with this idea that since the Soviet Union and Nazi Germany were both totalitarian regimes, they were essentially the same. They were too stupid to realise that this simplistic nonsense could be turned on it's head. Which Chomsky did

One of the things I hate most about chomsky is that he created the notion that marxism-leninism was right wing so to deflect criticism on any far-left ideology that has done authoritarian and terrible things. Leftists should be blamed for the wrong things they've done so we can learn from it....

He also thinks Russia’s annexation of Crimea was “a completely justifiable act” in his own words, that Ukraine bombing the Kerch bridge was a terrorist attack etc.

He tells his audience that he supports the "Minsk agreement". Which most of his audience don't even know what it is. It was the treaty Russia pushed in 2014 to disarm Ukraine and keep control over Eastern Ukraine. Hasan misleads his audience by telling them it was a legitimate peace agreement.

I have. It's shit. Remember how alt-right people would constantly post "Who owns the media?" back in 2017? Chomsky's book is basically that but with some pointless intellectualising.

I'm kinda annoyed that Hasan Piker is in hot water. The guy openly called for violence, spread Russian propaganda, promoted Holodomor deniers and Neo-Stalinists, promoted and encouraged people who doxed and swatted his critics, and promoted antisemitism. Yet he gets cancelled for abusing his dog.

Kalandra was hanged, Husak was sent to prison for a decade. The construction of the myth that only the Soviets had opposed and resisted the Nazis began here, with the imprisoning and judicial murders of the actual resistance leaders.

Because when the war ended and the communists seized power, the first people they stiched up in show trials were the "locals" and other social democrats like Milada Horakova, who had stayed behind to organise armed resistance.

When Hitler invaded the Soviet Union that then presented an enormous dilemma. Because the split between those camps had to be somehow bridged. Which it was, but only as part of a Soviet deception.

The Muscovites being those who went to a Soviet exile and aligned with Stalin's wishes to continue to maintain the Molotov-Ribbentrop pact. The "Locals" being communists who disobeyed Stalin, and went into armed resistance against the Nazis.

Meanwhile, other Czech communists who remained loyal to Stalin fled to the Soviet Union. Like Klement Gottwald and Rudolf Slansky. These two camps were referred to at the time as the "Muscovites" and the "Locals"

This resulted in a split of Czech left in particular. Stalin was seen as an inspirational figure even to some in the democratic left at the time, that ended with Molotov Ribbentrop. Some Czech communists also renounced Stalin, the most famous being Zavis Kalandra and Gustáv Husák.

One thing I learned when studying how Czechoslovakia collapsed into communist tyranny was a split that occurred in the Czechoslovak left during the Nazi occupation. As part of the Molotov Ribbentrop pact, Stalin forbade European communists to engage in armed resistance against Nazi occupation.

No act of Russian provocation will be able to disguise the fact that the war is not going well for them. The opposite.

Russia lost 17,000 tanks in three years. Only 2,478 remain in storage—nearly all badly rusted and needing expensive restoration before they can fight.

The timing? Russia just shifted back to tank warfare after 282,000 infantry casualties.

Russia’s last 2,500 tanks are in very sorry shape
Russia's oldest tanks—some 50+ years old—are all that stand between Moscow and forced mobilization

I think they are at the Estonian border doing this nonsense because they want us to see them. Antagonise the Estonians, whip up fears of invasion. Maybe try to provoke someone into something stupid.

@derparrot.bsky.social okay, the shit show game is seriously going on! It's delicious. Turek Is in some serious trouble over constant posts on Facebook : racist post, posts about disabled people, hailing in public. Let's say he won't be minister of Zahraničí, because he called Obama "negr"
