She described Nawrocki, a marine veteran of two decades with six tours in Iraq and two in Afghanistan, as a “smartass” who loved to make her laugh and was driven to fight in Ukraine because of the toll he had seen on civilians.
She did not want her son to go to Ukraine but this “was an unprovoked war,” she said. “This is everyone’s war. If Russia wins, wins over Ukraine, that affects Poland, that affects all the European countries.”
How on earth do these people reconcile these sentences in their head?
It’s depressing how many people just are so willing to throw themselves and their loved ones into the meat grinder on command from the empire. I’m convinced once the US tells Taiwan to declare independence and then China reacts by invading these same indoctrinated tools will claim it was “unprovoked” and that we have to send people to die against them.
Which does raise an interesting thought. (Warning: Tangent) Think tanks have variously pegged 2026-2028 as the latest the US can get into a war with China and prevail. The whole Biden chip strategy of just trying to bribe chip makers to return production only had limited returns. If the empire KNOWS for a fact it’s going to start a war and either sacrifice Taiwan or lose access to its chips when they blow up the foundries then IF (big if) Trump actually makes good on his threat of slapping 25% tariffs on Taiwan chip exports it would be a further sign that this is part of a desperate plan to force as much decoupling as they can, to get as much production back in the US before they pull the trigger and start the war. It could yet still be Trump bluster or bullshit (or an attempt to fish for bribes or concessions) but the whip coming in following the carrot in such a short time span is suspicious and alarming and if such tariffs do go through and are not immediately repealed by demand of the tech bourgeoisie then I think it’s a sure sign that the US is going to pull the trigger on war with China over Taiwan and use that to institute further decoupling, that the bourgeoisie are onboard with this, at least the old money ones who may be forcing new money to heel.
People have long doubted the will or ability of the US to decouple from China on here and HB, yet the bourgeoisie seem to be lining up in ever increasing class solidarity with the aims of empire even as such aims hit individual interests and wallets.
