🇭🇺🇸🇰ANTI-UKRAINE BLOC FORMING IN THE EU🔥🇪🇺

During a visit to Budapest on Tuesday, Prime Minister Robert Fico stated that Slovakia will not permit EU supporters of Ukraine to penalize Hungary for safeguarding its national interests.

Fico emphasized that supporters of Kiev cannot anticipate a country that has withdrawn funds to financially support another nation. He stressed that such a situation is unfair and unjust. Hungary has opposed Brussels and several EU member states, asserting that providing weapons to Ukraine from the West will not resolve its conflict with Russia

For the past year videos have circulated of American cities being burdened with these tent villages of people who have fallen through the cracks.
Homelessness is on the increase in Britain too. 2022 saw a 26% increase in people sleeping rough and it's only set to increase as British capitalism decays.
As wages stagnate, welfare is attacked and housing prices raise astronomically you can expect to see more poor souls suffering its effects.

The imprisonment of Sergei Udaltsov is a reminder that modern Russia is still governed by the Yeltsin constitution of 1993 and many who command the forces of repression are bitter anti communists. This is why I refuse to indulge the irresponsible fantasy that Russia is "moving towards socialism". Where Russia is going is subject to many factors rooted in the current battle with US imperialism and the domestic class struggle. There will be no return to socialism by executive order. Even in the (unlikely) event of Nikolai Kharitonov winning the Presidency it will take an intense class struggle against the parasitic Russian capitalist class and the anti communist forces in Russia who serve them.

It is true that the modern era shows us that there are many different versions of a revolutionary process and communists must not be rigidly stuck to only one method of struggle. Dogmatism is indeed an enemy of the Marxist method but this cuts both ways. The dogmatism of the ultra left which declares that only a Peoples war and insurrection can win power and this is foolish. Then we have the dogmatism of the revisionists who declare that there is no need to even consider such things and that "times have changed too much". What revolutionary processes such as those in Venezuela and Nicaragua have in common, even though they are dismissed by ultra leftists, is that they rely upon the raising of the level of consciousness of the proletariat and peasantry. Both countries have incorporated proletarian democratic elements into the ongoing revolutionary process. This is why they have prevailed against the plots of US imperialism. If socialism is to return to Russia then, at the very least, it must rest on such expressions of proletarian power which requires an advance of class consciousness and political organisation within the Russian proletariat. Many of the forces within the Putin coalition are viscerally opposed to all of these things. The SMO and the forces it has unleashed may change things but we must wait and see what changes this leads to.

Press statement from the representative of the DPRK Ministry of Defense

Pyongyang, January 19. /KCNA/

Below is the full text of the press statement issued on January 19 by a representative of the DPRK Ministry of Defense: “Under no circumstances will we allow reckless military-confrontational hysteria.”

Since the beginning of the year, the United States, Japan and the Republic of Korea have been actively conducting provocative military exercises.

Since January 15, in three days, the American nuclear-powered aircraft carrier "Carl Vinson", the cruiser "Princeton", equipped with the multifunctional combat system Aegis ("Aegis"), ships of the Navy of the "self-defense units" of Japan and the Navy of the Republic of Korea again conducted joint naval exercises at sea around Jeju Island.

The current exercises, which took place after the military gangsters of the United States, Japan and the Republic of Korea jointly drew up a multi-year plan for trilateral exercises in December last year, have caused further destabilization of the situation in the region and are actions that seriously threaten the security of our state.

In response, the Institute of Underwater Weapons Systems at the DPRK National Defense Academy conducted an important test of the Haeil-5-23 underwater nuclear weapon system, which is under development, in the Korean East Sea.

Our Army's undersea nuclear response readiness will improve, and a variety of responses above and below sea will naturally continue to deter hostile military actions by the U.S. Navy and its allies.

We strongly condemn the reckless actions of the United States and its satellites, which have seriously threatened the security of the DPRK since the beginning of the New Year, and sternly warn of catastrophic consequences.
