It is not even about punishing Democrats. A vote for Democrats is a vote for genocide. If Democrats losing voters alters their behavior then that’s a bonus but it is clear they don’t care about losing voters.

Would the US losing in Ukraine hurt the US elsewhere? Would it increase the likelihood that West Asia can free itself?

I hope you are right. That would be the good ending. “The victory of colonialism, even in the farthest corners of the earth, is a defeat for us, and the victory of freedom anywhere is a victory for us.” – Abd el-Krim

it would be better to break up Russia first

So it wasn’t just some liberals on Reddit daydreaming of breaking up Russia, it was actual policy?! This amount of delusional thinking from the top can only be explained by racism and chauvinism. Either that or a lot of nepotism and corruption.

If US military suppliers are going to cheat the government with cut-rate products, it is given at this point

Critical support to scummy military contractors

China will turn them into mincemeat

No problem. My sarcasm detector was broken.

if they decide they hate the decadent and sinful West

That wasn’t the motive, else they would have attacked Japan.

Plus, this is Arab media https://youtu.be/XcclXnr6UVU

I’m not sure this is more likely. It may happen, depending on what parties ending up winning elections in the West. But if the current governments remain in power I can’t see them allowing it to happen even if it meant WW3.

I knew it! Western media and politicians have been lying about the possibility of defeating Russia all along.

They are either delusional or manipulative. In Russia’s advantage it is politically more stable long term than any Western government which could at any moment elect a government that doesn’t want to continue the war

The risk being US sanctions of course

I thought everyone in Korea was starving or dead

Isra💩lis are only good at killing unarmed civilians. Without their US-provided advantage they wouldn’t last a day in the region.

There’s a relevant quote that sometimes shows up on the main page

they really think of themselves as god’s chosen and the rest of us as human-like animals

I didn’t know that Putin wrote for CNN

die USA die

Germans don’t mince words

Given the complete disregard to human rights and international law demonstrated by the US in Occupied Palestine, wouldn’t Russia be excused in taking the gloves off against NATO in Ukraine?

the violent invasive fauna

the people right? the natural fauna was already there.

Saudi Arabia cannot legitimize Israel, but Israel can delegitimize Saudi Arabia.

If Saudi Arabia normalizes with Israel hundreds of millions -if not each and every Muslim of the 2 billion total- will see it as a confirmation and validation of the Hadith that praises Yemen and the Levant but curses Najd.

Link to Hadith plus explanation in Arabic: https://www.islamweb.org/ar/fatwa/134719/

Rough Google Translation:

O Allah, bless us in our Levant and in our Yemen. They said: And in our Najd. He said: O Allah, bless us in our Levant and in our Yemen. They said: And in our Najd. He said: There are earthquakes and tribulations, and from there the horn of Satan will rise.

I personally don’t think the Politico story is true. The risk is too damn high for the House of Saud. They will lose all legitimacy domestically and internationally.

They think everyone has unqualified leaders like the US
