So it’s official: Washington is pulling the plug on military aid to Ukraine. At Congressional hearings this week US secretary of defence Pete Hegseth confirmed the Trump administration has a “very different view” of the war in Ukraine to that of Joe Biden’s – and insisted that a “negotiated peaceful settlement is in the best interest of both parties and our nation’s interests.”
Oh, for sure. I agree. I think in their demented minds they expect to be able to defeat China in a few years though.
It’s just kind of incredible to watch them continuously taking Ls on every front, but being utterly incapable of taking a step back and doing a bare minimum of introspection.
It must be the lead and the microplastics because even Britain knew when to say “yeah kept the seat warm for you big dog lemme head out” instead of stubbornly poking the bear and starting shit all over once America yanked the empire off their hands.
Yeah because the most demonically racist people on earth just shrugged and said “at least they’re white” when America took over (granted, that’s not fully true either, there definitely was a lot of pushback against America in Britain in the inter war period as they tried to isolate the Sterling Area but were unsuccessful)
🤣
They took a W against Hezbollah, W against Syria, will get a W against Iran if nobody else steps in to assist, Ukraine is essentially a draw for them since they never intended to win really just weaken Russia
Hezbollah is still around last I checked, Syria is not exactly a win either given that it’s incredibly volatile, and now the west will be forced to pour resources into it to keep a pro western regime in power. Ukraine is absolutely not a draw by any metric. Russia has come out of the war far stronger, and the west is now teetering on an economic crash. On top of that, Russia showed that NATO weapons are not superior, that NATO lacks industrial capacity to take on peer competitors, and that you don’t need the West for your economy to thrive. Russia is growing at over 4% right now economically, while the west is in a recession. Finally, there’s now a whole alternative economic system forming entirely outside the west. Calling this a draw is frankly silly.
If Hezbollah was still around in any capacity that it was capable of fighting, it would be attacking Israel right now. There was a window of time to pursue de-dollarization and the Chinese explicitly rejected it and continued getting more enmeshed with the US economy instead. They rejected creating a separate economic system
Why would they be doing that right now?
Also, dedollarization is literally happening as we speak. Chinese CIPS is already handling more transactions than SWIFT. You really don’t have any idea what’s happening in the world do you?
In their defence, The US is the most propogandized people on earth, and you have to activly look outside of the NYT AP Routers buble to hear anything other than Russia and China are about to collapse
very true
