This is a Dengist community in favor of Bashar al-Assad with no information that can lead to the arrest of Hillary Clinton, our fellow liberal and queen. This community is not ironic. We are Marxists-Leninists.

This community is for posts about Marxism and geopolitics (including shitposts to some extent). Serious posts can be posted here or in /c/GenZhou. Reactionary or ultra-leftist cringe posts belong in /c/shitreactionariessay or /c/shitultrassay respectively.

They gotta have a reason to pull out so they can focus on starting a war with China. They know the clock is ticking to stay in power. They threw away too much resources on this. They have to try and find some way to hold onto their power.

Wouldn't they want this happening when something starts with china? I feel like it would overall be a benefit for the west, specifically after Russia's doubling down and mobilization. If Russia is at full military capacity when things pop off with china they would totally get involved.

The West cannot afford to keep pumping supplies into Ukraine AND turn all focus onto China. A proxy war with Russia is one thing. Russia can hold its own but China's military is booming and accelerating. With tech that, in many cases, is starting to, or already does, surpass the wests.

Since there is no way for Ukraine to hold on without western supplies then they will loose regardless when the west pulls out. However the "harder" they loose the less there is for the western oligarchy to plunder. So they are trying to shut things down as quickly and painlessly (for them) as possible.
