This is from a report put out by the Transitional Integrity Project, a "bipartisan group of over 100 current and former senior government and campaign leaders, academics, journalists, polling experts and former federal and state government."
In actuality, the project is all Democrats or "Never Trump" Republicans, including:
- John Podesta, former White House Chief of Staff
- Donna Brazile, former Democratic National Committee Acting Chair
- Michael Steele, former chair of the Republican National Committee
- Max Boot, journalist
- David Frum, journalist
This is not a joke. Liberal media has been covering this story and linking to this article [1] [2] [3] But they only mention the parts about Trump refusing to concede.
Right-wing media is talking about this angle, where Biden refuses to concede. Workers must have a full understanding of what is going on, so we can prepare & respond to the coming months.
I know some people here will be like, "oh that can't be right, aren't Democratic and Republicans on the same team." No, they are not. They both want to crush any working class power, but there are serious contradictions within the bourgeois class.
One faction of the bourgeoisie wanted to slowly contain China & Russia through building exclusionary trade agreements (TPP) and maintaining relationships with Europe. This would build towards world war at a slower pace. They see war with China & Russia right now as suicide for their class.
Another faction want to crush China & Russia immediately because they recognize the rate at which these two nations are building their productive base. They see a war later down the line as harder to win.
As the contradiction of capitalism heightens, and the American Empire fumbles under Trump, the former faction is under more and more pressure to act. Their "Russian collusion" plan and impeachment failed tremendously.
Now we are in a position where neither faction will recognize the election results, which will likely be the end of "liberal democracy" in the US.
If Russia is trying to conspire with NATO & the US, they are doing a horrible job lol
And what about Russia's export market? It's largest trading partner is China, and their exports have increase 600% in the past decade.
The US recognizes Russian-China-Iran as an opposing bloc in the world. Military intelligence in the US identifies "Great Power Struggle", with Russian & China operating as a common enemy, as their focus now that the "War on Terror" is "over." Also, these nations have been holding joint military exercises.
This narrative seemed to have a lot more explanatory power than "Russia is a western pawn."
The Nord Stream project is struggling along only because of Germany's material interest to not be wholly subservient to the US. If Germany gets a better deal the project falls through. And even then Germany has been haggling the entire time, not willing to exchange one energy dependency on another.
And it is on you to show how any of the Russian sabre rattling and military manoeuvres have negatively impacted Western hegemony. Wherever I look I can't see America, NATO, Saudi Arabia, etc. having their power and interests curtailed by Russia in any non-negligible way. But maybe you can...
