News of a big restoration of Lenin’s tomb has come out in the past week or so. More generally reverence for figures like Lenin or Stalin in capitalist Russia divorced from what they stood for.

Needless to say this is horribly wrong. Reading Parenti would disabuse you of this to say nothing of actually reading Marx and understanding DiaMat.

This is foolish. As foolish as Trump’s tariffs war. It’s trying to bully someone with a strong hand into a deal when they already offered you one. Trying to bluff them in a situation where if they call your position collapses entirely is foolish.
Trump is showing he truly is someone swayed by whoever talks to him last. Zelensky was instructed by psychological experts from western intelligence I’m sure just how to appeal to him at their last meeting.
Russia’s bottom lines have been the same since the start and the only change has been the addition of recognition of the eastern oblasts (which Russia within its own legal system incorporated as de jure parts of Russia (under Russian law)) as part of Russia.
I can only assume that this ceasefire is another Minsk agreement deception. They intend to attempt to force it, to re-arm and re-train and re-group Ukraine’s military so they can put more of their men into the meat grinder and stall a collapse of the front another 10 months. And quite frankly given all the talk from France and other members of sending in troops once a ceasefire is achieved of trying to push the envelope of the acceptable slowly until Ukraine is de-facto but not de jure part of NATO.
Trump is going to ensure the US gets very little or no minerals to plunder from Ukraine if Russia has to push through to the finish.
I also wouldn’t be shocked if Trump is testing the waters with this, says nothing and then when Russia pushes back hard he’ll claim he never agreed to that and attempts to leave Europe on the hook for it all.

darkcalling@lemmygrad.mlto GenZedong@lemmygrad.ml•General Discussion Thread - Juche 114, Week 183·2 months agoI see one Italian Blu-ray rip for that with Italian PGS subtitles. It’s on a pt. It would be possible to ocr the Italian subs then use a translation service to get an imperfect but perhaps serviceable result. I know subtitle edit can do ocr and translate via google for free with lesser results. Otherwise you could ocr, chop into smaller files and feed them to deepl which may give better results.

And also what you said and they took Anakin because of that but usually take all kinds of kids under the guise of training them. CTH talked about this on and off throughout their 3 riff tracks for the movies.

I’d avoid it as much as possible. I’d go to meetings in person without phone and make sure everyone else does the same. I’d arrange future meetings in person with hand signals to draw the person out of a room with electronic devices into one without before discussing the when, where, and why.
Just so many ways for it to be used against you by the empire with their hacking of telecoms and devices.
because westerners don’t know the language or care enough to check the policies
Maybe your common internet commentator does not check. But the western intelligence agencies check. They want someone like him in power in Russia over Putin. For 1) they’d own him, clearly they’ve done a lot for him and he would likely work with them, for 2) because he is a Nazi and ethnonationalist he would do for them what they’ve long sought to do which is break up Russia into smaller manageable ethnic chunks they can color revolution and control, his policies would drive and allow their intelligence agencies to further instigate into independence movements or at least long-burning terrorism that bogs down the state these tensions he’d create with the many ethnic groups in Russia. He’s perfect for their aims. His views perfect.
