    The pro russian people left the party and founded the BSW. Since then Die Linke is stronger then ever. They still try to end the war with talking instead of cutting Putins head of which I would prefer differrently, but everything else works out great.

      Yes but many in DieLinke is still pro russia.

      They repeat russian propaganda. Saying that the joining of the former east block country in NATO is one of the causes for the annexation of Crimea and this attack. They dont want to send weapons to ukraine so ukraine can defent itself. Put it as if NATO forced the nations to join and that it was against a (none existing) treaty to allow the former east block country to join NATO.

      To stand against helping a democratic nation defend itself, be it because of naiv pacifism or active helping the aggressor, is unacceptable. One can not negotiate with a lion if it constantly attacks you and you got your head in its mouth.

      Read it yourself my friend if you dont belief my word

        I haven’t seen russian propaganda repeated by them yet. Even in your linked page they clearly state that they don’t support them.

        The joining of former east block countries into NATO is one of the reasons for Putins aggression. He said it himself. That doesn’t make it right, but it’s a fact. And there was no treaty about it but it was agreed upon that it won’t happen. Still I don’t think it’s valid when it’s not written down and signed. Just stating the facts. Also these nations should be able to decide for themselves if they want to join NATO or not.

        I’m with you that not sending weapons and hoping for a diplomatic end of the war clearly doesn’t work. DieLinke should definitly rethink their stance on this.

        Like I said earlier it’s my main complaint about the party.
