Holy fucking shitballs. I have a bad feeling about this.

This is the china’s ukraine war - I don’t remember who, but someone predicted this, that instead of taiwan they would use the Koreas to “contain” china.

I hope leftists wont do critical support for south korea and muh inter-imperialist infighting this time. Because its imperative to support NK in this conflict.

If you think about westolefto, they won't. They will do uncritical support.

I hope that as well and I know for certain that they will.

Makes sense. They would kill two birds with one stone if successful. North Korea would probably be involved either way because both conflicts would get all of East Asian involved.

I would not be shocked if the US tried to fork China using the DPRK and Tiwan to try to force them into a 2 front war like what they did during the korean war making the PRC chose between aiding the DPRK and Tiwan

Late stage capitalism combined with the total implosion of the imperial project thanks to brics and their inability to totally dominate the information space= the final threshings of a dying state

the final threshings of a dying state

I've been saying that about patriarchal religions for 30 years and they're still going. I think at the time I began saying that, I was conflating religion with governments, which kind of makes sense, as religion is used to uphold and justify horrific acts perpetrated by (nation) states.
