Quotes
“Biden and Macron castigate Putin for deploying troops at Ukraine's doorstep. But when, in early January, the same Putin sent 3,000 Russian paratroopers to help the dictator of Kazakhstan quell a workers' revolt, their silence was deafening. In Kazakhstan, the aim was to suppress workers protesting against the high cost of living. The aim was to save the profits of Total, Chevron, ArcelorMittal and other Western trusts that exploit the resources and workers of this ex-Soviet country. Putin, Biden and Macron are complicit in putting down the revolts!”
Nathalie Arthaud, “Threat of war in Ukraine: let's not get carried away!”, Lutte ouvrière, 16/02/2022.
