Trump administration holding talks with Russia on Ukraine war, Zelenskyy...
I like what I just read on the World Socialist Website this morning :
[ "US President Donald Trump is demanding concessions from the Ukrainians of the kind usually imposed on defeated enemy states, in exchange for continuing US military commitments in the region.
The media has been reporting the figure of $500 billion-worth of critical minerals demanded by Trump, but a leaked document seen by Britain’s Telegraph newspaper shows the reality is even more extreme. It shreds to pieces the lies that the US and NATO powers have been supplying Ukraine with training, weaponry and financial support out of a concern for “democracy” and preserving its “national sovereignty”. Trump’s plan would transform Ukraine into a vassal state. " ]
That war was no more about protecting a " sovereign " nation than the Great War of 1914 was all about " making the world safe for democracy ". THAT war -inspired by stale Wilsonian blather that was false more than a century ago - inspired the Russian Bolshevik Revolution of 1917. In the 21st century more wars driven by imperialism and neo-colonialism may just inspire a BOLSHEVIK REVOLUTION II in POST-COMMUNIST Russia. Working class Americans in " OUR democracy " will just applaud it !
