Yet the apparent dichotomy now developing between two explanatory schemas—one emphasizing nato expansion, the other the long-hidden force of Russian nationalism; one supposedly exculpating Russia, the other muting the role of nato—is ultimately false. There is no real world in which nato expansion did not occur, and the emergence of an increasingly assertive and militarized Russian nationalism is inextricable from that process, because it was in large part propelled and reinforced by it. With regard to Ukraine, Russian nationalist fantasies have persistently been enmeshed with geostrategic calculations, the advancement of oligarchic interests with the self-preservation of the ‘imitation democratic’ system. What weight we assign to these factors can be debated; but that they simultaneously exist should not. Recognition of their existence, moreover, in no way diminishes Russia’s responsibility for invading Ukraine. Rather, it helps to clarify it, by enabling us to identify the different links in the causal chain that have brought us to this moment, and to distinguish each actor’s degree of culpability. A consequential anti-imperialist politics requires not only condemnation of criminal wars as they unfold, but also an understanding of the field of great-power contention that repeatedly produces them.

Och, ja, Clare Daly simpar för muslimska män. Hon vill att våra skattepengar ska regna över dem.
