Summary
Quotes
“The dictator [Putin] provoked no reaction from the Western powers when he launched a second war in Chechnya in 2004, claiming at least 150,000 victims, to quell any hint of independence. And last January, the "great democracies" were no more indignant when Putin sent his army to Kazakhstan to crush in blood the workers' revolt against the high cost of living. The reality of the interests of the American, British and French trusts in this country, which concentrates a large proportion of the world's oil and uranium reserves, was stronger than posturing and lies about democratic principles!”
Nathalie Arthaud, “Against Putin and the imperialist warmongers”, Lutte ouvrière, 09/03/2022.
