MoA on ukraine v Russia via the latest article by the only useful analyst with RUSI. Certified brainworm free. Most of this MoA is a frankly well deserved victory lap of correctly calling the war. The most notable part is the analysis of casualties, which is obviously subject to all the fog of war and propaganda. This guy estimates that ukraine has lost 5-6x the number of troops as Russia

I'm not sure what exactly you're flagging that you think "the left" is missing. The DNC are feckless controlled opposition, presumably that isn't the left you mean. For anyone else, it's pretty clear that Trump/modern republicanism is a continuation of starve the beast for everything but the security-carceral state, which ends in privatization of social services and exclusion of who those services are available and accessible to.

UK’s F-35 exports more important than stopping genocide, lawyers to argue

Preserving the British role in the F-35 jet fighter programme takes precedence over the need to comply with UK laws on arms export controls, or any UK obligation to prevent a genocide in Israel, UK government lawyers will argue in court this week.

seconding the recommendation to read orientalism. I think @[email protected] overstates how approachable it is (it is after all still a heavily cited academic text), but it's certainly no superimperialism. if you want an example of more modern liberal orientalism, listen to the first 2 minutes of this episode of trueanon which is barely exaggerated satire
