China is growing rapidly.

Not Russia. China.

Good point. Also the people pushing CWII are profiting from China.

Anything from The Nation is socialist propaganda

Correct me if I am wrong but I have seen people posting from the Nation here and it doesn’t seem like prohibited by the rules here. Content of the article is up to discussion, of course. You might disagree with its points and put your thoughts here. Isn’t it how the forum works?

Actually, I think they are more interested in a proxy war fought in Venezuela.

Steve Cohen was pushing the same Lin during the Cold War. I used to think he was a Marxist. I guess it’s clear he’s just a garden variety Russophile.

“” “” Anything from The Nation is socialist propaganda””” “

I mentioned the left lean in their publication but this exact article is more critical to Democrats. If you disagree with its points your explanation will be appreciated.

I understand you don’t like the messenger. What about topic? Do you support CWII or not or maybe have a third variant.

That’s one take on it but it is a tradition to take official statements on international policy serious

Maybe that was how FR worked in the “olden days”, but it has devolved into a moronic key word, name calling (ie, Putin’s butt boys), mostly neocon site. Very few civil discussions, dissent or questioning of the hive mind is tolerated.

Neither is the Huffington Post, but that’s only posted occasionally and for purposes of ridicule rather than discussion.

Well it seems like it still there. Someone expressed opinion that the author of the article is Marxist another said he isn’t. Maybe someone would finally say something about context too.

YW. BTW, we are not going to war with Russia. Their alliance with China is a harbinger for some really bad geopolitical shifts, though, never mind the alliance of both of them with Iran.

I might be wrong but don’t see a Chinese
-Russian alliance. All I see are Russian attempts to fake it to show they aren’t isolated and China trying to take as much advantage of it as possible.

Sadly, I agree. This site used to be very thoughtful and those folks have been chased off.
