    I don’t disagree, Russia has no right to continue (or to have started) the war either. But what I think about Russia doesn’t matter, what matters is we are workers in countries that are bankrolling Ukraine in the war and we can have meaningful political impact on the war by dismissing false consciousness. I can’t do anything to get Putin to stop the war. But if enough workers in NATO aligned countries make it clear they won’t stand for the ransacking of Ukraine, the war machine won’t be able to keep moving without its gears.

    Anyway, I think Putin was pretty naive to want to join NATO lol. It’s a big club, and Russia ain’t in it (by design).
