Imperialist/expansionist war is course always “unreasonable”. But in an imperialist world with increasingly competing imperialist powers - and the contradictions between them becoming ever more acute - decisions like these are certainly rational from the perspective of a 2nd-tier world power attempting to protect its interests and re-establish its historical counter-hegemony

Explaining isn’t endorsing. Much like I can certainly say it makes 100% sense for businesses to price gouge after a natural disaster in the context of a capitalist system. I think price gouging is dog s*** behavior and people that engage in it are scum of the earth but it’s an incredibly rational decision for a capitalist to make in a capitalist world. You need to stop interpreting every explanation of a contradiction as an ethical value-judgement

"Venezuelan oil would be a perfect substitute for Russian oil in large part because Russian oil has been a perfect substitute for Venezuelan oil. Much of the oil refining industry on the U.S. Gulf Coast is built for heavy crude oil like that produced by Venezuela—some, such as the Citgo refinery in Lake Charles, Louisiana, was built specifically for Venezuelan crude. These refineries cannot run at capacity producing gasoline and other petroleum products from light oil grades such as those produced by U.S. shale drillers or Saudi Arabia, and there is not enough pipeline capacity to bring heavier oil grades down from Canada. "

Wonder what Macarthur or Eisenhower would have done in this situation

MacArthur would be pushing for nukes to be used

Eisenhower wouldn’t have created these conditions in the first place, he had immense respect for the Soviets and Russia even as president

I appreciate the explanation, it still smells to me that a bunch of pro-USSR peeps are itt constantly explaining the context of Putin’s decision. Like, we get it. NATO and the US knew that incorporating Ukraine was a red line for Russia, and still made moves towards that direction. Still, there’s a war today, civilians are dying, and Russia is solely responsible. To be itt all day explaining why Putin is acting rationally in his own right and resisting western imperialism, as people known on this forum for being anti-western, comes off as purposefully spotlighting the wrong things. Yes we all know you guys oppose Putin, but the whole “enlightened leftist” thing is getting really tired when, for example, the post below yours is a Russian tank shooting at a civilians car
