Aug 9, 2022·1 replykrishna boundAmerica definitely didn't want war, if they did people wouldn't have dismissed the initial invasion intelligence reports as fake. In comparison to other situations (i.e. MENA, west africa), the US obviously played the initial reports with more caution, obviously since it involves a major geopolitical actor.
However, the US definitely sees the active war as a vehicle for NATO expansion & excuse for attempted destabilization of Russia. Whether or not you think this is justified is different, but they definitely view the opportunity to take reactive action as positive. Even moreso as Europe (who is cucked as f*** geopolitically and has no choice due to their own idiocy) takes near the entire brunt of negatives of these actions while the US remains mostly isolated incidentally relative to their geopolitical interests unfolding.I don’t know about the NATO expansion part, but we are definitely happy that Russia lost a third of its military, and rightfully so.

It was definitely NATO expansion in terms of solidifying the military alliance (esp. in terms of US geopolitics reigning over Europe) and in terms of - from a NATO standpoint - many other states now scrambling to join. It might be not be purposeful "expansion" but additional states joining is still NATO being bigger literally and representative landmass wise

I don't think any Marxist writer of any school would support letting a state that can't even do a good job of capitalism run amok

It might be a more nuanced thing than that. US w/ a non-Trump admin might be happy to have Finland and Sweden in NATO, but decidedly would not want Ukraine in NATO. Or Moldova. Or anywhere else the Russians are gonna go, since they are scared of war with Russia.
W/ Trump in charge US isn’t even pro-NATO

No I respect marx for his contributions to economics, we can gain a lot of utility from it. And honestly I believe there's a case for the labour theory of value

Agreed. Another thing to add is that you never see working class/blue collar people supporting marxism anymore. That's because liberalism and mixed market capitalism have largely solved the problems that led to the rise of marxism in the first place. That leaves us with remaining marxists who are academics, outcasts, malcontents and/or have an ax to grind with the perceived established order.
