europol take from american
@alemppu @ekisi was using some hackneyed phrases i admit, but i don't think i'm particularly doctrinaire, i'm sorry if i came of as condescending and cliche, and i see we mostly agree, so my apologies again, i'm not trying to downplay the attrocities being carried out by russia or deny the right of eastern europeans to defend themselves from imperialist aggression.
Where I disagree, i don't believe Israel is a separate issue, and the most powerful militaries in NATO are sending weapons to Israeli, who do not need the weapons anyway and are only using them to commit attrocities is a travesty and demonstrates a deep rot at the leadership of these countries that needs to be confronted. This is symptomatic of the corrosive influence of the United States amont other things.
arms industries can be publicly ownedthey sure can be but they mostly are not and to change that would require sweeping political changes, which again requires a genuine working class movements in multiple countries, I assure you I'm not doctrinaire, what this will look like will differ from country to country.
Europe surely has immense productive capacity, this is not the only factor in the outcome of the war, the US has dumped many billions into Ukraine, perhaps far less than is needed, but modern wars are more complicated than 'we make more bombs therefore we win', the state of technology has made it so prolonged wars of attrician can basically go on indefinitely, and opening up multiple fronts could benefit Putin. I'm not talking Lenin but Clausewitz, wars are decided by many factors not simply sheer numbers.
the quickest path to victory is and has always been a revolt from within russia which deposes putin / or at least disables the war effort, obviously outsiders have little influence over that, but communication and coodination is still a possibility that shouldn't be ignored. For Putin the quickest path to victory is his allies AfD Le Pen etc. gain political power and simply stop resisting, To gain political power Putin's allies need only outmanuever the neoliberal elites in a handful of Nato countries, which is why i'm emphasizing the urgency of this problem.
