ah, calling the US Democratic Party 'socialist.' always the last refuge of scoundrels. And it betrays the total lack of brains of whoever says it, and their utter following of right wing media memes.
Dude, use your giant brain and look up 'socialism' some time. It doesn't mean 'expand the child tax credit.' it means 'government owning of the means of production.'
what a complete tool. go read some right wing memes and think you are learning something.
While the Dem Party has a socialist flavor (bigger government is always the default), what they really are is a collusion of corporate(especially media) + government, as particularly evident during the covid madness. This is fascism, the one party state where profits and decree can fully align to defeat democracy and freedom to operate and speak freely.
I am no big supporter of the Democratic party. I am not defending its many faults here.
But is is amusing the mental gymnastics that people will come up with to alter the well established definition of Fascism. Fascism is not the government instituting a policy or law that you don't like or agree with. Like covid mandates. Nor is it politicians getting payoffs by greedy corporations.
It has a specific definition and is always hard right wing dictatorial rulership by force. Sprinkled in with Nationalism, racism and silence of dissension or criticism.
Looking like that Russsian Army is now getting totally crushed, what a joke. Sure sure the Russians can toss bombs but they can't fight worth a damn, actually a laughing stock. Why would NATO fear Russia they can't fight?

Look it up.

Yea.. guess who wrote that lol.... The same people who said the political parties woke up one day and traded ideologies...
All dictators use fascist tactics whether they are right wing or left wing.
Calling all fascists right wing is absurd.
Castro, Lenin, Stalin, Mao, Pot, Trudeau, Putin, Hussein, Assad... none of these people are right wing.
Hitler was only to to the right of the Bolsheviks. He hated communism and capitalism. He was a nationalistic German leftist.
What happened to all the Syrian and Chechyian fighters they were going to add?
“The Pentagon has assessed that Russia’s “combat power” in Ukraine has dipped below 90 percent of its original force for the first time, reflecting the losses Russian troops have suffered at the hands of Ukrainian soldiers.”

Why do they need every country on earth to be in NATO if they don't fear Russia?
Military desertions are incredibly demoralizing and contagious. Watch this space. The 40KM convoy is out of food, artillery and appears to be surrounded outside Kiev.

the nazi economy was like the current russian economy - nominally the means of production were owned by private companies, but the state was so powerful that owners had few rights and were subservient to the state.
Russia did nothing? Except participate in the Transnistria War (1990–1992), the First Chechen War (1994–1996), the Second Chechen War (1999–2000), the Georgian war (2008), and the Ukrainian war (2014–present). So, at least 5 armed conflicts aimed at expanding or retaining Russian territory in the last 30 years. That's a LOT of doing nothing.
I was referring to their actions regarding the eastward expansion of NATO prior to 2008. NATO said it wouldn't move east and then gobbled up all of eastern Europe along with Latvia, Estonia, and Lithuania before Russia did anything.
The US did what Russia did to Chechnya to several countries. You are holding Russia to a standard NATO cannot meet.
And by gobbled up Latvia, Estonia, and Lithuania you mean NATO invaded with their armies and indiscriminately bombed schools and hospitals to force those countries to join NATO? If not, then there is no equivalence between NATO's actions and Russia's. Or by gobbled up did you mean that Latvia, Estonia, and Lithuania exercised their rights as sovereign nations to join NATO, and therefore Russia has the right to invade The Ukraine because they also considered exercising their rights as a sovereign nation to join NATO?
Russia has withdrawn most of its helicopters from a strategic airport in Kherson, Ukraine, according to satellite images analyzed by The New York Times, in what experts said could be a sign of Russian military setbacks in the south of the country. https://t.co/sTMi26YW2z
Ukrainian officials defiantly rejected a Russian demand that their forces in Mariupol lay down arms and raise white flags Monday in exchange for safe passage out of the besieged strategic port city.
I thought that Zelensky would fold early and give up Donbas and Crimea in exchange for security guarantees and demilitarization of the disputed regions. But since the war broke out, the nationalist elements in Ukraine are the ones doing the fighting and in many cases winning against an inept and corrupt Russian armed forces. The nationalists have consolidated power in Ukraine and Zelensky recently moved against the pro-Russian minority parties by banning them. The nationalist will not let Zelensky make major concessions on land. They would rather fight to the death and do not care if Putin lays waste to most of Ukraine in the process. I also think Putin is all in and will not accept anything less than the end of Zelensky's government and a complete annexation of all of Ukraine (what every is left of it). Ukraine is not Syria or Chechnya. Russia will not be able to bomb everything and claim a victory. Ukraine is too big a country and Russia may actually run out of bombs (speculation is that the hypersonic missile were deployed because Russia is running out of conventional missiles and bombs.

Seems that former CIA Analyst posts on Letsrun. From the article:
"...the vast majority of the media (print and electronic) as well as Big Tech are supporting a massive propaganda campaign. ...Anyone who dares to raise legitimate questions about is immediately tarred as a Putin puppet or a Russia stooge. When you cannot argue facts the only recourse is name calling."
Gennadiy Druzenko, 49, told Ukraine-24 channel: '[I gave] very strict orders to castrate all [captured Russian] men, because they are cockroaches, not people.'
