Grungehamster @grungehamster.bsky.social · 15/10/2026The problem with that (not even getting into "would more communism be good or bad?") is Russia is basically the second worst nation of the former Soviet bloc on every vaguely left metric save Belarus. There is no theory of "the West must stop the war" that materially aligns with their goals. 000
Grungehamster @grungehamster.bsky.social · 15/10/2026Yeah, but most people have sympathies for countries/parties/people who ideologically align with them and can excuse misdeeds if they can come up with mitigating circumstances or can argue alternatives are worse.

Grungehamster @grungehamster.bsky.social · 14/10/2026Trump publicly calling off any escalation in hostilities until after the election was a bit of an own-goal: shows he is sensitive to it and means any response is going to be delayed (hell, may even get it if they don't escalate, so hung as well for a sheep as a lamb.) 020
