I see it as you do—between the “peace” of Trump/Putin and the “Peace” in the European style, I prefer the former, as a socialist world cannot exist with the latter option…
Yes, I agree with that, Roberto….
Though Trump’s motives for peace are quite different from ours, at least the possibility of some kind of deal that would lead to the cessation of conflict is on the horizon. Let’s face it, that would never have happened had the Anti-Democrat Party candidate, Kamala Harris, won. That’s about the only good thing you can say about Trump – the prospect of an escalation of the war may have receded and with it the prospect of a nuclear exchange – even if that was highly unlikely in my opinion.
Interestingly, I’ve come across some more stuff on MSM about Trump going on about “de-nuclearisation”. Can’t see it happening, but still it’s better than issuing nuclear threats

It is left to the warmongers like the Anti-Labour Party leader, Boy Starmer, to continue beating his little toy war drum. I can’t see his posturing getting him anywhere and the cuts to social welfare spending to boost defence spending is not going to make him popular. Come the next election, this disreputable sleazy outfit could well be pushed into third place, behind Reform and the Tories. Serve the bastards right.
Of course, the Putin regime is a nasty piece of work, but all the same, better this stupid war ends now than later with yet more workers´ lives lost. In any case, the Russian military seems to be on a roll and the longer conflict goes on, the more territory it will take. Not that socialists give a fig about national sovereignty either way
Pankhurst was one of the UK representatives of “left communism” and so didn’t share the same political views as the SPGB.
………………There are differences but there are also clear commonalities, surely?
Zelensky screwed up and is now trying to make up. Makes you wonder how serious he is in his newfound commitment to “peace”
Anything that stops the war has got to be good, although we know Trump’s priorities are not ours.
…………………………………..Absolutely, spot on.
Surely we wouldn’t want to be seen in any way to be inadvertently supporting contemptible warmongers like Starmer with his pathetic attempts at macho posturing.
Of course we are equally hostile to the likes of Trump but we cannot possibly be hostile to any moves that are ostensibly aimed at bringing about a cessation of the war – even if such a move was initiated by Trump. You have to separate the aim from the actor or person in question.
I hope this action leads on to the complete collapse of NATO. That warmongering, aggressive, expansionist entity must take the lion´s share of the blame for the present situation. Had it not lied to Gorbachev and kept its promise not to move eastward in the 1990s, we would not have this horrible situation we are in now
See this:
It was an utterly stupid strategy on NATO´s part with hindsight and totally unnecessary even from a capitalist viewpoint. Not in any way to defend the Putin regime, but we must remember how the American regime kicked up such a fuss in the 60s when the Russians under Kruschev sent nuclear missiles to Cuba in America´s backyard
Do they seriously imagine that the present Russian regime would sit back and do nothing if Ukraine were to become part of NATO with missiles sited on its territory within easy striking range of Moscow. C´mon…..

The sight of that obnoxious capitalist warmonger, Bernie Sanders, makes me want to reach for the nearest bucket. He couldn’t care a toss about the lives of workers lost on both sides of the obscene capitalist war….
I really don’t know who is worse. People like him or Trump
Interesting commentary. It rather suggests that Zelensky has scewed himself and his cause through his incaution and manipulative tactics

Dunno how credible this is but did Boy Starmer pull a fast one?

Bizzare. Trump´s vision for Gaza posted on TruthSocial. The guy is a complete narcissistic nutter
On the difficulty of pinning down what exactly Trump’s plans are for Ukraine…
More on minerals. Putin & Trump go into business together LOL
Here’s what the greens said in the 2024 manifesto
It sounds like the sort of thing SPEW would come out with. Have they been infiltrated? Bored within?
It’s curious but don’t you get the impression that MSM is becoming more and more overt about the actual economic motives behind this war? In particular Ukraine´s mineral resources
