I understand completely, as we have a party with exactly same ideals in my country and I supported them for the last 15 years.
The issue here is that they are completely and utterly wrong, to the point that one can only surmize that they are tankies supporting the Putin regime.
I don’t think anyone can look at Putin and his reign for the last 20 years and think that this is a rational person that can be dealt with. After all the agreements he broke, after assassinations, after checynia, after propaganda campaigns … After they invaded Ukraine again!!! We let them get away with it the first time!
This guy and the Russia he created only respects strength. This Linke strategy is so weak, so pointless, so clownish, that one can only understand that they are on his side!?
That’s how I see it. And I’m never never ever supporting the Linke we have in our country.
If not buying Russian gas, oil, coal, and other resources while also not selling machine and electronic parts that can be used in Russian weapons in your eyes is “weak, pointless and clownish” then i think you are not that serious about supporting Ukraine, as it might hurt business a little bit…
EDIT: Also note that in regards to Germany the SPD, CDU and FDP were eager to continue business mostly as usual with Russia after the Crimea invasion, even selling German gas infrastructure to Russian companies… If we had had a Green Left government at the time they would have sped up the renewable energy and transport transition, which had reduced the dependence on Russian energy imports instead.
Right now Putins main goal is to stop weapon deliveries to Ukraine - a country struggling to defend themselves from a tyrannic imperalist force.
The Linke want that too.
I don’t see how anything else matters in this situation.

If if if.
