  • I don’t think it will in the short term since Russia needs allies and the West has made it clear they will never be allies with Russia. Russia doesn’t gain anything by splitting with China now or in the short term.

    Much longer term it was always bound to happen. Russia only gets critical support around here because it’s going against the West in this specific conflict. It’s still a capitalist country with reactionary views on a lot of things.

    That’s going to eventually put it at odds with China and other AES countries unless there’s a change in power in Russia.

    Nowhere in this meme does it say that “both sides are the same”. It’s (correctly) showing how both parties don’t give a shit about the working class.

    Republicans are horrible but you can’t expect the Democrats to save or help you from them after we have tons of evidence showing they will also break strikes, pass right wing immigration laws, attack protesters, support genocide, and do almost nothing to stop rising fascism.

    Also trying to diminish supplying and funding a genocide to just “a single foreign policy issue” is pretty fucked up and not even accurate. Leftists were willing to overlook hundreds of issues we had with Kamala as a candidate if she could just do the bare fucking minimum of not actively funding and supplying a genocide and she couldn’t even do that.







  • As others have said no one source should have blanket trust.

    Understanding the bias the source may have by looking up who owns/funds it and understanding how that might skew what you’re reading is important.

    For news based on studies I usually will try to directly to the study which should list the methodology which will help show how well done it was.

    If I have time later I’ll put together a list of ones I use and what I’ve seen as their biases.
