According to Russia’s Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR), the US intends to launch a campaign to undermine Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in order to replace him with a more malleable person. According to the agency, former Interior Minister Arsen Avakov is being considered for the job.
In a statement released on Tuesday, the SVR stated that “the American elite” is becoming increasingly unhappy with Zelensky as politicians on both sides of the aisle begin to “doubt the targeted spending of billions of dollars in military aid to Kiev.”
Officials stated that Zelensky is engaging in “crazy steps” that threaten escalation “far beyond Ukraine,” adding that Kiev “has moved to feverish action” as Zelensky tries to stay in power after the end of his official term in May.
Yes I did, I’m a Marxist-Leninist, and I don’t see why we’d parrot the viewpoints of a right-wing imperialist country as much as I wouldn’t quote the US defense department or the IDF
If I see IDF or US Defense Department propaganda being spouted anywhere, of course I have issues. I have an alt account (volodya_ilich@lemm.ee) in which you can check how the other day I was complaining about .world users citing IDF propaganda
I wouldn’t quote the US defense department
It’s completely up to you who you want to quote or not quote. But i just want to point out that this community’s posts include a wide variety of sources, some of which are western mainstream media (which undoubtedly get most of their talking points from the DOD, CIA and State Department), others are Russian sources, others Chinese, etc., etc. If you want to be informed it is good to draw from as many different sources as possible, even ones that you strongly disagree with ideologically. It is not advisable to live in an information echo chamber, rather you should learn to critically analyze the media you consume taking into account their biases and motivation.
Russia is unfortunately a reich-wing country, but to call it imperialist is foolish or dishonest.
The definition of imperialist I’m using is that one of Lenin’s “Imperialism: highest stage of capitalism”. I.e. a developed, capitalist industrial nation, where the financialization of the economy has already taken place, and the competition of small capitalists among each other has given way to cartels, oligopolies and immense concentration of capital in the hands of a few. It’s precisely the conflict between the capitalists in Russia and the capitalists in US that gives rise to conflicts such as the Ukraine war. US is more advanced in imperialism and is the #1 empire on earth right now, but Russia is also an imperialist country by that definition.
