Also worth remembering that Lenin wanted Russia to lose ww1 (ie lose to a literal dictator) - having a critical stance against the military activities of your own government is not sucking up to a dictator which your own capitalist government has decided to make an enemy

Dude if you want to be a socialist you cant be pro nato as well. Nato's entire raison d'être is to protect capitalism.

I would give up my lunch money if it meant not getting into a brawl.

If the mafia shakes you down every week, you dont snitch to the cops, because the cops can only make more violence. Its the same principle here. You won't get out of this situation with more war.

War is shit for people who live through it. Nato is only good for making war. Only de-escalation can stop war.
