No matter where. You can easily blackmail governments into looking away in countries where you own a lot of critical businesses. I don‘t want to say that Trump isn‘t doing it, but he certainly is one of many among what could be a systemic issue. Re: Capitalism | ||

I'm saying that Ukraine can't destroy anything worthwhile around Moscow with their drones. Targets there will be not only defended but also reinforced. Hence why this raid is a political move rather than a military one. | ||

Re: Capitalism The difference between Trump and others who benefit from the structural flaws innate to the intersection of liberal democracies and capitalism, is he doesn’t even pretend. Nor do his supporters (who moan incessantly about it elsewhere), remotely care. There’s corruption, and there’s like a 50 date stadium rock tour level of corruption. It’s kinda like when people take the line ‘there is no ethical consumption under capitalism’ and come to the conclusion, ‘ok I won’t even bother to consider ethics then’, which isn’t really the point, at all. One can’t hope to deal with the grey, or ‘legitimate’ corruption enabled by such systems if you can’t even deal with the guy waving sparklers while wearing a big sign going ‘I am doing the corruption, what you going to do cucks?’ Although yes, you are correct, and I agree as an anti-capitalist in personal politics. However I do somewhat assess the world through how it’s currently structured. Even within that lens, the man’s aggrandisement is beyond the fucking pale, it’s ridiculous. | ||

It‘s not the US invading a country here. At least not at the moment. Apparently they‘ve decided that Russia is the blueprint for how they should become in order to be able to compete. The US also created an upper class that is able to operate outside of the law if it somehow serves the country. At least that‘s how I‘m reading it. | ||
