Scottish rock group Primal Scream superimposed swastikas combined with Stars of David over the eyes of Netanyahu & former Israeli defense minister Gallant, as well as other global politicians, in on-stage graphics during a Monday night concert, leading a Jewish security group to file a police complaint.
They were playing at the historic Roundhouse venue in north London & performed their 2000 single “Swastika Eyes.”

You realise that the disagreement is in our definitions of imperialism, right?
Labeling Russia simply “imperialist” or “not imperialist” is inadequate. Russia is a revisionist, semi-peripheral power with imperialist tendencies and practices, particularly in its near abroad, but lacking the integrated monopoly-finance capitalist base that defines core imperialist powers like the US.
Russia is reacting to US imperialism.
Go smoke your bong. No matter what arguments you try to pull, the moment they actually invaded Ukraine, they became THE aggressors, and are in the wrong.
They became the aggressor when you strip the context.
They will still be sorrounded by NATO after conquering Ukraine, not an improvement really.
Why would they do it then?
The old man wants to feel like a powerful leader before he dies, and he doesn’t care what happens afterwards
I dont subscribe to great man theory understanding of history
That’s okay, I only want you to subscribe to great man theory of dictatorships. You can subscribe to a different theory for other kinds of government.
I subscribe to historical materialism. Seeing as you think history is driven by great man I understand why you thought the questions I gave you are sealioning in your eyes

I’m guessing a mixture of desperation, and trying to outlive the west (if they can just grab enough resources for their needs until the west collapses, they can deal with other issues later). Still, I can’t support the invasion. If they could just stop being assholes, they would have more allies, people liked Putin, and he improved Russia’s reputation before the Ukraine war (and they even somewhat overlooked the Crimea invasion).
No one does. War is an extension of diplomacy
