ERIC ZUESSE—Contrary to U.S.-and-allied propagandists, that war in Ukraine wasn’t started on 24 February 2022 when Russia invaded Ukraine, but back in February 2014 when U.S. President Barack Obama’s Administration had started by no later than June of 2011 to plan, and by no later than 1 March 2013 inside the U.S.’s Ukrainian Embassy to execute the plan, and then on 20 February 2014 to culminate the U.S. coup that overthrew and replaced Ukraine’s democratically elected neutralist President, and replaced him and his Government with the U.S. selected leaders of the new, and rabidly Russia-hating, U.S.-controlled, Ukrainian regime.

• How rotten leadership is inevitable under an advanced capitalist regime (imperialism)
• Realities of the Ukraine war, the Russian options -
LARRY C JOHNSON—I am not suggesting that the United States is on the verge of a collapse akin to what happened to the Third Reich in May 1945, but I do believe that the era of the United States invading other countries at will and overthrowing governments not willing to genuflect at the altar of U.S. power is over. The war in Ukraine has laid bare the weakness of the United States to control the international arena.

CALEB MAUPIN—Most people remain confused as to the role of Trotskyism in the Communist movement. In this chat, Caleb talks about Trotsky’s split from the Stalinist wing of the Bolsheviks, his exile and ulterior career in opposition to the Soviet Union (a supposedly bureaucratized state socialist regime with a supposedly new ruling class). Eventually, different factions of Trotskyism became anti-communist agitators (which suited the capitalists fine), and later, some of Trotskyist leading intellectuals abandoned Marxism altogether and became the notorious Neocon phenomenon of rabid US imperialism at any cost.
