Azov battalion will be vilified in a couple of years tho
Decades seems more realistic.. I think you're underestimating just how much the MIC and the wealthy have a hard on for Russia and China. I'm listening in on a lot of conversations among rich Economist reader types lately and they are fully in the belief that war with Russia and China is necessary. The propaganda they're consuming is pushing HARD. Personally, I think Russia has stepped into a bear trap by invading Ukraine and the US is going to funnel a lot of resources over the next few decades in order to spread them as thin as possible.
I mean, they soured because they kept trying to blow up the world trade center. I don't think the nazis are gonna be unfriendly in that sort of way to Capital. As long as the media continues to carry water for them, the sky is the limit.
Now I'm wondering how climate change and resource shortages will affect the friction between international capital and the national/regional fascist groups it usually puppeteers. Like if the US tomorrow told ukraine "Hey mack, we're only gonna keep sending you party poppers if you give us 25% of your fresh water".
Totally. That's basically how it works now. I recently read The Jakarta Method and the efforts these fash go through to open their countrys' resources to exploitation for such a small cut is mind boggling. And if the people try, even electorally, to take even the slightest bit for themselves, out come the death squads. Look at that shit that went down in Bolivia, or how they're going after AMLO for trying to nationalize Mexico's Lithium mines. Millions dead so local fascist assholes can cuck themselves to richer, global assholes.
There's that optimism I worry about.

I get what you're saying but, Putin/Russia Bad looks like it's gonna go a long way in legitimizing a lot of bad people.

I wouldn't say it's about keeping a leash, so much as aligned interests.

I really love that they are pushing that now, when the time that that was feasible was decades ago.
