Sahra Wagenknecht, the leader of the German pro-Russian far-left party Sahra Wagenknecht Alliance, has refused to comment on whether she was pleased that Ukraine “still exists after three years” of full-scale war, rather than capitulating to Russia in the first week. She called the cost of resistance “absurd” and argued that the “death of a million people” was allegedly unnecessary.
Absolutely. Sometimes, by accident, the propaganda is pretty telling about what the situation is for the person creating the propaganda.
Some of it says that green energy in Europe is ruining the power grid, they have brownouts, the machinery in the factories is breaking because of the low quality of the electrical supply. That’s absurd… unless you come from a country where that’s happening.
Some of it says that there aren’t enough factories in all the EU, US, any of their manufacturing base the world over, to continue to produce ammunition, that NATO is running out and the warehouses are empty. That’s absurd. Not because we’re giving Ukraine everything it needs, or because we’re always tooled up to make munitions at the pace that a modern land war chews through it. But because the issue just isn’t empty warehouses and factories that can’t keep up. It’s more subtle and first-world-problem than that. America probably bought more dildos this year, by weight, than Ukraine needed for artillery shells. But if you’re in a country where a pure lack of industrial capacity is a crucial limiting factor…
Every accusation is a confession. More so, in this case, than in a lot of cases.
