THE WORLD THROUGH AN INDEPENDENT LEFT LENS
The sociopathic Western ruling elites keep stirring the dogs of war...This is a Capital crime. A new Nuremberg tribunal is now urgently needed.

One of the "Atlanticist" political whores or psychos selling us war—you decide: Swedish Minister for Civil Defense Carl-Oskar Bohlin. Contrary to their carefully cultivated image, the Scandinavians have long been on the fascist side—they were so during WW2, and they are today as eager appendages to Washington.
It's important to remember the context and the chain of events that took place prior to all the recent pronouncements and hand wringing from Western "leaders" about the "threat" of war with Russia.
Keep in mind, it was the West that promised peace in our time, trade, mutual prosperity, and that NATO would not move even one inch closer towards the East if the Soviet leadership agreed to break up the Soviet Union. It was the West that guaranteed a future predicated on partnership, goodwill, respect for sovereignty, and a relationship of equals under the law, if only the Soviet Union would dismantle itself and join the "Western world order."
It was the West that broke their promises and gobbled up nation after nation as they moved to encircle Russia. It was the West that destroyed Yugoslavia on false pretenses. It was the West that engaged in color revolutions against Georgia and Ukraine. It was the Western oligarchy that infiltrated the former Soviet satellite republics and the countries of the Eastern block, in an effort to place their compliant lackeys into power. It was the West that replaced the rule of law with the "rules based order" which they alone defined and selectively enforced according to their own geopolitical interests.
Likewise, it is the Western oligarchy headquartered in the US that dominates and controls the sovereignty of the Baltic States, the Nordic countries, Poland, Bulgaria, and all the rest (save Hungary, Slovakia, and Belarus). It is the West that has worked tirelessly to get another Yeltsin into power and, for decades, has demonized Putin and worked to overthrow his government.
What is absolutely crystal clear in all this context and what is beyond any rational dispute, is the fact that the Western oligarchy never ended their war against Russia. Their words and promises were simply lies and a tactical strategy to achieve total victory and the conquest of Russia. Many in Russia were fooled for quite some time, including Putin himself who has acknowledged this fact.
A world where sovereignty is respected, and where equal nations coexist in peace and prosperity, was never on the table. This illusory promise was dangled in front of foolish and naive leaders like Gorbachev and Yeltsin... even Putin spent decades pursuing in vain the false promises of the Western oligarchy.
"It is the Western oligarchy headquartered in the US that dominates and controls the sovereignty of the Baltic States, the Nordic countries, Poland, Bulgaria, and all the rest (save Hungary, Slovakia, and Belarus). It is the West that has worked tirelessly to get another Yeltsin into power and, for decades, demonized Putin and worked to overthrow his government..."
But the truth is now out. The hoax has been exposed. The world sees clearly the nature of the West and its inexorable drive for total global domination (or "full spectrum dominance" as the Pentagon describes it). Thinking people can objectively assess the facts and understand what is really going on. This is not a case of "Russian aggression". This is a case of self-defense and the refusal to relinquish sovereignty to the Western oligarchy. This is a case of Russia not being able to bend anymore and refusing to capitulate or surrender.
Russia is fighting for the promises that were made in 1989. Russia is fighting for its sovereignty and is demanding the world what it was promised, in exchange for dismantling the Soviet Union, and joining the Western economic order. Russia is fighting for a world comprised of equal sovereign states, united under the same system of international law and a shared commitment to mutual peace and prosperity. Russia is fighting because to do otherwise would regress humanity and put it at the whim of the merciless exploiting class of Western oligarchs that have violently squandered their superpower status for over 75 years.
Russia is fighting against Western imperialism that never once had any intention of allowing any country to have sovereignty. Russia is fighting against a hubristic, psychopathic, amoral, violent, and dishonest force that is seemingly incapable of changing course and that is determined to plunge the world into turmoil, chaos, and deprivation, or the ultimate nothingness, if it cannot rule supreme. Russia is fighting against a power-mad class of billionaires and their legion of propagandists and politicians across the globe that are absolutely dedicated to obfuscating all of the above.
So let us not be fooled by these poison-mouthed vipers, quoted at the top, who have been bought and paid for by the Western oligarchs. Let's not allow them to pretend that Russia is a "threat" to anything other than their own tyrannical ambition for total global domination. Let's not allow them to pretend that Russia ever had any choice other than to surrender or fight. If these liars were honest, they would admit that war is necessary because Russia refuses to surrender its sovereignty. If these liars were honest, they would admit that they will violently resist any effort to implement the vision they pretended to offer back in 1989 and which they laughably pretend to stand for today. If these liars were honest, they would admit that they will eagerly plunge the world into war, chaos, and economic depression before they give up their quest for full spectrum dominance and total global supremacy.
Consider these insightful and inspiring words of truth from the telegram channel "Megatron" and notice the similarities that exist now and that existed over a hundred years ago when Lenin inspired the Russian people to take their country back from the Russian oligarchy:
"European senior officials are preparing the psychological terrain among the people, that we (and I, as a resident of Europe) should prepare for war with Russia. Get ready to be thrown into the fire and die for a group of globalists in Washington. Europe and European citizens must not succumb to this propaganda. Because tomorrow we will wake up in the same situation as in Ukraine. Elites in bunkers and on yachts in Miami, while armed Nazis will hunt us down the streets and send us to the front like cannon fodder."
People need to wake up. People need to understand that we are opposed to the same class of people that Lenin, Stalin, and Mao opposed throughout the 20th century. Let's not allow the false liberal nonsense of the ruling class propagandists to obfuscate the fact that the class war continues today, in very much the same way as it existed 100 years ago. Our enemy is the same. Their motivations, interests, and desire for absolute supremacy, has not changed one bit in the last 100 years. They still view the working class as a threat and enemy that needs to be pacified through mountains of propaganda and motivated to support ruling class narratives and agendas with both carrots and sticks. Socialism (the identification and pursuit of working class interests within an ever-changing kaleidoscope of material conditions), is still the solution that stands in direct opposition to the current system, which is predicated on identifying and pursuing the political and economic interests of the wealthy elites.
Let us not be dogmatic regarding the implementation of certain modes of production but let us understand that we will never be able to achieve systemic improvement through good-faith experimentation, trial, and error, until we put in place a government that is actually concerned with furthering the interests of the vast working class majority (socialism). As long as the oligarchy remains in power, there can be no hope of improvement because they have no interest in anything other than the maintenance and furtherance of their own obscenely disproportionate share of wealth, power, and privilege.
