Pete, upon opening the link I find that I can't read the article unless I first create an AI-powered Gemini account, and I don't want to do that. Could you copy and paste it whenever you have time?

Re: Against the Russian invasion of Ukraine

According to a good part of the non-class left, including supposed anti-imperialists and socialists, the Russian imperialist aggression against Ukraine is not that.
