    Imagine seeing what China has done for its people and the members for the belt and road initiative and thinking they are worse than the US dedicating even more money to war is better. People literally just lap up all the piss from the oligarch masters.

    There are so many instances of the CPC just up and forgiving debt from help they have donated to so many countries that are part of this initiative. No strings attached. The US meanwhile has being doing actual debt trap shit for decades. The information is out there. All you have to do is fucking look instead of regurgitating reddit bullshit some fed posted because that site is astroturfed to shit. China is trying to actually build up the world while the US tries to bomb more of it to rubble.

        And if Russia takes Ukraine then the rest of the EU is next.

        Don’t threaten me with a good time.

          You do realize that Russia since almost day 1 has had the opportunity to take Ukraine, right? But keeping paths open lets them bleed NATO.

          Nobody said Russia is the USSR.

          The US didn’t defeat the USSR. The bourgeoisie in the USSR worked for 3 decades to reassert their dominance and it culminated in the internal dismantling of the USSR. After it was dismantled, Russia brought in the USA to help liberalize the Russian economy. The USA implemented economic shock therapy under the theories of Friedman and that shock therapy killed millions of Russians - a death toll so staggering it was equivalent to a war.

          The USA outlasted the USSR. The USA outperformed the liberalized economy of the USSR. But the USSR dismantled itself.

          The Russian Federation has no intention of taking and holding Ukraine, let alone taking and holding all of Europe. The RF intends only to prevent the North Atlantic from completing their border fence of nuclear first strike capabilities and neutralizing all of Russia’s national security.

          BRICS is a far more powerful economic coalition than the North Atlantic. The USA needs to discipline the EU to prevent any of them from switching their allegiance to BRICS, but ultimately BRICS will be inexorable because most of European riches come from their dominance of the Global South. As that dominance breaks down, Europe will be left with very little choice but to choose between the USA and the rest of the world. Individual countries will try to break rank and they will be disciplined for it, but eventually the West will break.
