          I think people discussed with them for at least 120 posts too many. Though yesterday was a really boring sunday on both hex and grad so i guess this count as prime thread.

          Probably, but I’m guessing having sea access cut off would be painful nonetheless. Also hugely humiliating.

              No, they turned it into propaganda W. But then again, US people are the most propagandised people on Earth, for them literally anything can be turned into a propaganda W.

    If thars the case, it’s likely that someone knows that a certain someone has placed something very much near the boundaries of a certain country. In such case, it’s perfectly justified, as it was back in the day.

            I don’t. Not if it necessitates an alliance with distinctly and vocally anti communist and fascist regimes. I will not “critically support comrade Hitler.”

                  This whole thread has been most garbage take I’ve ever seen a Hexbear user account of any significant vintage make. It’s like you have almost no understanding of imperialism/colonialism or of “critical support” for bourgeois nationalist movements against them. Almost everyone here disagrees with you, as do many people of the Global South, who also align with and significantly support Russia against the imperial core.

              Even the USSR allied with England and the US to defeat Hitler, and the CPC allied with the KMT to defeat Japan. So what is your point here? I trust the Cuban leadership on Cuban military affairs way more than some guy with an internet connection.

                This analogy doesn’t work unless you believe Cuba is currently close to being invaded. This is a geopolitical alignment, not an alliance of desperation against a genocidal threat. Cuba sees aligning with Russia as preferable to isolation, it is not gearing up for a potential war with the US.

                  Cuba is not facing an invasion but they are facing a strangling embargo, aligning with Russia is preferable than withering away in isolation.

                  This is a geopolitical alignment, not an alliance of desperation against a genocidal threat.

                  Yeah, sanctioning a tiny island and threatening the whole world to follow along in a globalized economy is not akin to genocide.

              What makes Russia fascist?

              When did it become fascist?

                What makes Russia fascist?

                The embrace of fascism by its ruling political party, the fascist political structure, the fact that it’s built in the image of another fascist state (Namely the US), its embrace of anti-communism, anti-minority (whether those be gender and sexual minorities or religious and ethnic minorities), all the fucking nazis and fascists involved with or connected to the ruling party. Is this place doing a bit right now?

                When did it become fascist?

                Somewhere around the time Yeltsin took power, did away with the soviet union and any communist project, suppressed left wing resistance to this. And I would say the fascist didn’t end when he then handed power over to the guy who is still in charge being a fascist and basically doing the exact same thing more competently.

                  I’m not going to hide the ball. My point is that fascism is more than just “country has a long-term ruler the U.S. doesn’t like.”

                  The embrace of fascism by its ruling political party, the fascist political structure, the fact that it’s built in the image of another fascist state

                  These are circular – “it’s fascist because it’s fascist” – and the last two are the same point. It’s not the formal structure of a government that makes it fascist, either; the actions of the government matter more than the words in the constitution.

                  its embrace of anti-communism

                  Getting closer, but this doesn’t fit the facts. Russia’s second-largest party is the Communist Party. While Russia, as a capitalist state, is hostile to communism, it’s less hostile than any Western European state, to say nothing of the U.S., and it’s nowhere close to your classic examples of fascism like Nazi Germany, Pinochet’s Chile, the ROC, the ROK, etc.

                  anti-minority (whether those be gender and sexual minorities or religious and ethnic minorities)

                  Painting with far too broad of brush. Every country on the planet has work to do on treating all minority populations fairly, and most have had explicitly anti-minority policies in the recent past. These are reactionary policies and bad, but there’s a far cry between that and fascism. Was Cuba fascist before its new Family Code was passed? Is the U.S. not fascist if a queer woman can become a drone pilot?

                  all the fucking nazis and fascists involved with or connected to the ruling party

                  There are Nazi elements present in every capitalist country. Is every non-AES state fascist? Seems reductive.

              comrade Hitler

              Minimizing the holocaust with frivolous and unwarranted comparisons to Hitler are generally frowned upon. I’m not even sure you could compare Putin to Yelstin.
