Thoughts?

Don't agree with his assessment at all pretty much, but still interested what yous think about that stance, because really I've not seen much theory based discussion on the topic since the early days of the conflict.

Not sure what to think about him either. I've watched a couple of his videos at the beginning of the war, a livestream or two with the Deprogram guys and see comrades recommend him quite often, so I thought he was pretty decent. But this video combined with the China takes really brought out the Maoist leanings of his and...yeah, controversial at least.

But imo MLs online really haven't bothered wrestling with this conflict on a theoretical basis too much. I've seen almost no deeper analysis and even the big Youtubers like Hakim have hardly touched on it. Day to day analysis of the events and consequences is almost non-existent too, so I reckon some controversial takes about it ain't too bad to discuss about honestly.

Yeah, most of the analyses I've seen on this war have come from people who aren't explicitly communists

It's been a while since my last plug, so I'll recommend The New Atlas
