With WWIII ramping up in the East, I wonder if there is something else that this fiasco is covering for. For sure, the genocide of the Palestinians is a great distraction from the impending housing market/economic collapse we are all sure to witness (my opinion) and the return of student loans, and the repeal of all the COVID assistance but what else might the bourgeoisie be up to in the US?
Is it really just that this is the end of this empire and that Oct 7th provides the excuse needed to wage a war that the bourgeoisie needs to maintain it’s rate of profit?
I heard someone mention that the conflicts in Ukraine, Palestine, Taiwan, as well as some dubious movements in Myanmar and Thailand, are the formation of a new sort of Iron Curtain built by the west to keep China’s market acquisitions at bay. It could just also be the frontline of a new war. Maybe I’m thinking about it too much.
This has been my perception all along. I don’t really get how anybody thought Ukraine could win. In expressing this opinion, you’re labeled as a Putin puppet. You don’t have to be pro-Russia to say that they are winning.
I’m hopeful that the war comes to a close soon though.
With the US having given so much hardware to Ukraine, I imagine that Israel is on its own. If this effort is sustained, I wonder what the US will do, especially if Israel asks for help. Intervention by the US could trigger other countries into action. Or they wouldn’t do shit,iunno.
Hopefully Palestine is able to get out from under the boot with this one.
Is that why I do that? I constantly work with headphones on and try to read with talk in the background. So weird. Am i doing it to escape or is it because of rampant adhd or both?
