    Are we owned for insisting that the US intel about Putin's imminent attack was fake?

          Well if Uncle Sam tries to call me up from inactive reserve to go fight alongside Ukrainian Nazis, I'm going to Canada.

            lol we imported Uki chauvinists by the truckload up here after the war.

            I'd expect the average Ukrainian-Canadian to be way more reactionary than the average Ukrainian.

        i dont think the position of leftists has been diluted in any meaningful way. perhaps aesthestically to people who use politics as aesthetics, but the leftist position was still the right one to take. there is no place for nato or us imperialism here.

        very very sad to see, and i am sad that the seemingly obvious material answer to this has been incorrect this time, but i still believe the analysis was correct.

      "I'm not owned! I'm not owned!" I cry as the siege of Kiev goes on for another week. Tomorrow I will meet my fate at the hands of a 152mm shell, but until then I am adamant that Putin will not invade and this is just Biden posturing to distract from covid.

      Yeah but it's not going to stop me in the future calling bullshit on any of the other war mongering. This particular situation is especially ridiculous but this world a really ridiculous place :shrug-outta-hecks:

      I mean there were videos of massive military buildup. Disregarding US Intel, Russia was preparing for any course of action
