      Or China. He was morally selective and emblematic of how conservativism infiltrates and undermines left-wing efforts. Committed more to a prescriptive ideology than real world results.

      People don’t want to admit it because there’s a cult of personality around him, but he let the left down.

      his problem seems to be that he’s all in against US foreign policy, which leads to apologising for other countries shit policies because their actions are technically against US interest

      What the FUCK

      I expected you to be making this up but you are not.

      According to the consensus, Russia is now revising its abandoned plans and concentrating on a major assault in the Donbass region, where some 15,000 people are reported to have been killed since the Maidan uprising in 2014. By whom? It should not be hard to determine with many Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE) observers on the ground.

      Imma stop you right there my guy…
