I think the Tankie types have been exposed as hankering for the absolutism that has long been characteristic of Moscow rather than with any socialist ideas that might have once come out of it. It is Czarism they value, not Leninism.

Neither the West / NATO have been neutral and benign in this conflict - and their partisanship dates back quite a while. But trying to focus on them and imply Ukrainian society was happy with the status quo falls far short of the mark.AMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00559413440743290550noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4807238897188927967.post-76414480050428440922022-05-31T23:43:55.383+01:002022-05-31T23:43:55.383+01:00"The Ukraine war has been manufactured in Was..."The Ukraine war has been manufactured in Washington and Putin foolishly took the bait".
