    Now how does the same admin feel about Bandera, Azov, the Russian Volunteer Corps, and the Prigozhin mutiny?

      Prigozhin wasn’t fighting against imperialism, he was a Russian imperialist himself. his only problem was that he wasn’t in control of it

        Hamas is in the same boat. They’re a jihadist group who want to impose their beliefs on to everyone else through violence. They themselves are imperialist. Just because Israel is that doesn’t mean they aren’t either.

          ah yes, fighting for survival in a concentration camp is the same as Israeli settlers threatening to assimilate the Middle East into Greater Israel, I am very smart and totally not geopolitics-brained

        How do you imagine a country ruled by Hamas, provided it had enough power and resources?

          to answer your dirty edit, the country of Palestine doesn’t even exist so they’d have no country to rule over. this isn’t me taking a jab at Palestinians but acknowledging just how thorough the settler state has been at eliminating any “two state solution”. and the governments of the world are too excited about eliminating Palestinians that they’d never allow a non-Zionist aligned party to rule over anything.

            I mean if you’re not interested in fully entertaining the hypothetical, realistically, Prigozhin was very unlikely to achieve much either. Not only would there be a threat to his legitimacy and life from Putin himself, but also even if he somehow got to Putin, it would drastically destabilize the government and open the door to a revolution or another coup. In authoritarian and fascist countries like Russia, everything rests on the figure of the leader.

            Moreover, there’s a difference between Prigozhin criticizing from the backseat and actually being the president. The West alone would be trying hard to offer him enough to get him to stop the war, and he’d not be as ideologically and historically entrenched in it as Putin to say no. An oligarch like him is highly opportunist.

          they might’ve started out that way but at this point they’re merely fighting to stay alive. which can’t be said about Prigozhin because nobody forced him to go fight Ukraine

            If we’re talking how it is rather than how it could be, Prigozhin is dead.
