Only hope is this gets smashed so quickly and thoroughly it has ripple effects that end or at least significantly decrease the level of fighting and dying in Ukraine as soon as possible. There should be nothing left materially after this and this push to the Sea of Azov is the only strategic possibility for something like a military succes for the AFU. If this fails, there is no possibility of military victory for them left and someone somewhere would have to realize that.
Hey, never say never. Cost of living in Western Europe is getting so dramatic, volunteering in the army might be an option for many soon! And coincidentally some things might happen after that.
Good call! It makes sense from the cannibalistic POV the ruling class has.
- use speculation and stock bubble to crank up cost of living
- eviscerate whatever measly remains of social safety there was
- create a massive sinkhole of a war
- sell said war in the media as “fighting for our values” and other shit
- throw some crumbs at the troops to make volunteering seem like a good option
- laugh as the proletariat gets butchered en masse with the weapons you’ve profited from
The capitalists get: profits from weapons sales, profits from rising cost of living (i.e. rent), profits from speculation on grain and other foods, and the much desired Malthusian slashing of the population. Ya know, the one various bourgeoisie “green activists” keep babbling about. Oh and it will also disorganize and demoralise the working class. Who’s saying the bastards don’t know what they are doing?
