Passionate Progressive replied to the topic Putin Proposes Changes to Russian Constitution At Address to Federal Assembly in the forum General Discussion 15 hours ago

Thank.@sadoldgirl that was my interpretation….It seems (very limited knowledge on this) but in reading what Putin said, the original was kind of a band-aid approach to get through the 1989 collapse of the USSR….Further the proposals have protections (requirements for Russian residence) that are insurance against dual citizenship threatening…[Read more]

At the link you can read Putin’s entire address. Both the comments in the comment section (with links) are also good reads.

There’s been a major shakeup this week in domestic Russian politics. It kicked off with Putin’s annual address to the Federal Assembly earlier this week, which usually happens in the spring, not in January. Among other topi…[Read more]

Let’s keep this in mind about Mayor Pete. I don’t think he’s in the primary to ‘win’ because he can’t win without the black/Latino vote which he will never get. What he can do is be a spoiler in the sense that the front runner (in my case hopefully Bernie) will not have enough of the primary votes to win outright on the first ballot. In the case…[Read more]

@ohiobarbarian

In this case I think he is being more analytical than ideological. His conservatism is has been evidenced in some of his foreign policy opinions. In this case, like Tucker Carlson and a broken clock, he can be right twice a day.

@wilsonbooks

I agree with the posts on this thread but I also think that Saagar and Krystal…Bernie can’t expect everything to happen because his base is mobilized. There have been and will be dirty tricks from the establishment. I also think that there is health and positivity in standing up to the media – example they used was from Newt G…[Read more]

Yes, I see them challenging the US but their colonial models are mutually exclusive.

The Democratic Primary is training for going against Trump which will be anything but a tea party.

Passionate Progressive started the topic My Trip to China Exposed Shameful Lies Peddled by the American Empire in the forum General Discussion 2 days ago

There is a broad consensus between the American ruling class and the so-called American Left about China. The consensus position is that China is a tyrannical, oppressive, and politically backward dictatorship. Fear of a globalized Yellow Peril often emerges whenever China becomes a topic of political conversation in America. My two weeks spent in…[Read more]

Warren (and those advising her) are either blatantly liars and/or are very poor political strategists…..both flaws are disquallifying….I keep wondering what she was promised – as a cabinet secretary or veep….

I believe equities in Biden are shrinking and investments (per NH establishment endorsements) are being made in the Mayo…..I…[Read more]

Gawd – how awful – so many word salads from Bootygig – restatement of the question and then rambling on and defining the problem w no solutions or ideas….So glad this was the last debate….Unable to bear them other than through synthesis through independent pundits….Can’t wait to hear Tim Black’s analysis.
