Trump's Iran War costs the U.S. $1.88 billion a day. At that rate, it will take less than 2 months to match the $109 billion sent to Ukraine over three years during the Biden admin. In only six days, the U.S. has already spent 10% of what it disbursed to Kyiv after Russia's Feb 2022 invasion.

"A tacit deal has come into view. Forget freedom. Iranians can still be repressed as long as shipping through the strait of Hormuz is unmolested.

Explanation: The great Ukrainian military leader and libertarian socialist/anarchist Nestor Makhno, in his years of campaigning, would often reconnoiter enemy lines himself. Very dangerous, especially for an important commander like him. His protection of choice? Drag.

No, really. He’d dress up as a peasant woman, and from Austro-Hungarians to Russian Whites, he would be ‘beneath notice’ of soldiers and officers alike, allowing him to get a good, close-up, and personal estimation of enemy forces and dispositions without being caught or shot at.

The images rebut Russia’s claim that the killing of civilians in Bucha, near Kyiv, took place after its soldiers had left town.

"Virtually all famous Russian writers helped to justify Russia’s imperialist policies, promoted Russian exceptionalism or excluded the voices of oppressed nations. For many years, this literature has shaped how the West viewed Eastern Europe, Central Asia, and Baltic Countries."

New look at “War and Peace”: why we need to recognize and study Russian imperialism

When I come across the “aesthetics” reels on Instagram about Anna Karenina or the shabby panel buildings of the former USSR or see my American peers put communist symbols on their laptops, I wonder if they would similarly celebrate the British empire or the US colonists. When I think of the USSR and Russia, I...
