October 17, 20223 yr The Democratic Socialists of America, the largest socialist organization in the United States, with about 75,000 members (down from 94,000) in more than 200 chapters, has been unable to play any significant role regarding Russia’s war on Ukraine. Politically divided on the war, unable and uninterested in organizing debates on the issue in the organization, it has made no substantive analysis, published virtually no literature on the subject, and has neither organized nor participated in the few demonstrations about the war. https://danlabotz.medium.com/dsa-and-the-russian-war-on-ukraine-political-paralysis-aec135e957d5 TALKING SOCIALISM | Catching up with AOC A friend of mine invited me to a DSA meeting in the Bronx/Upper Manhattan Branch. We were in the basement of a church uptown, in Washington Heights I believe. It was my first time being exposed to DSA, and to me it was like, ‘Okay, we’re hearing all this rhetoric and having discussions.’ And I’m like, ‘Okay, another group of folks talking.’ Like this is great, this is encouraging. https://www.dsausa.org/democratic-left/aoc/ No wonder they are so upset. She lied about who she is, and voted to send arms to Ukraine.

And they’re one of the few Muslim nations in the world where we could realistically win the hearts and minds of the people in our lifetime. Invading them would destroy any chance of that.

October 18, 20223 yr But I was told the Russian weapons didn’t work nor hit anything. Must be lucky hits. Meanwhile, Russia is performing SEAD missions across all of Ukraine in preparation for a massive, strategic, bombing campaign.

Are you saying Iran sending weapons to Russia may give Israel reason to attack Iran? I have been actually thinking that Israel has been intentionally staying out of the Russia mess entirely.

I would assume he's talking about the protests in Iran more than the Russian situation, though certainly from a PR/support for Israel's actions perspective, that would play into it too.
