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.
Every $ donated to Ukraine gives them support and a better chance to end the war against Russia. And if Russia takes Ukraine then the rest of the EU is next. I don't think you realize the importance of this war on a global scale.
USA actually has a way to defeat its cold war nemesis without losing a single soldier. Meanwhile when china is doing china things (investments, building, long term economy plans).
Wow the amount of mind bending in the replies is fascinating. Of course it's all coming from hexbear and lemmygrad dorks. I'll support Ukraine 'till its end. Commies should focus on their chinese rice farming infrastructure, instead of foreign wars. Peace✌️🕊️
Liberals come over here and say that we're the ones who hate the Ukrainian people, yet it's the US that's shown that it's willing to fight the war down to the last Ukrainian.
Love seeing domino theory from modern day libs lmao
Wonder how US foreign policy has turned out under that particular paranoia. Surely there isn't a massive, hundred year long wake of total destruction and mass murder? I wouldn't know because I've never read books like Killing Hope, Washington Bullets, or The Jakarta Method, but I assume they have something to say on the subject.
First of all I'm not a lib. Second, yes I agree to some extent with you. US foreign policy is cancer, however whole US history is built on wars and deaths of innocents, no?
This is just the domino theory except "trust me bro, it'll totally happen this time because BBC said so."
I don't think you realize the importance of this war on a global scale.
I don't think you realize how little most of the human population cares about which flavor of white people gets to be in charge of Europe. Also, how many people in Asia, India, Africa, etc would probably prefer Russia to win because at least Russia doesn't have a centuries long history of being absolute dicks to them.
No, fewer Marvel movies would be a good thing. I'm saying a Russian occupied America wouldn't be different. In fact they'd probably stop school shootings, so that would be a positive.
The world? You mean anglos, who make up a tiny minority of the world's population.
God I can't wait for the day the African and Asian countries start redrawing the boundaries of Europe and US states. Your liberal whining will be :chefs-kiss:
If Russia wins they will obviously take over the land. NATO might hold them back from the EU, but not every country is protected by it. That's what Russia is especially looking for - easy targets. It doesn't take long to realize that imperialism is having a comeback in the 20's and it must be stopped.
Which is also ironic, because the "weak" Ukraine is still holding strong and they are definitely winning thanks to all the support received.
There are a few glaring problems with this narrative of yours. First, Russia and Ukraine coexisted perfectly fine until the west decided to coup the democratically elected government in Ukraine and install the current regime. Second, is that Russia continues to coexist with its neighbours in the east and it's not invading any of them. It would be far easier for Russia to do that than to push west against NATO.
Finally, Stoltenberg let the cat out of the bag and admitted that the reason the war happened was due to NATO expansion and not because Russia is trying to take over Europe:
Every $ donated to Ukraine gives them support and a better chance to end the war
Yes, just like every $ donated to Marianne Williamson helps her take one step closer to the presidency. Surely there are no institutional barriers preventing this from every realistically happening. Surely these elections, and the Ukraine war, are not just empty political theater meant to manufacture consent for the oligarch-owned military industrial complex.
Every $ donated to Ukraine gives them support and a better chance to end the war against Russia
There has never been a point during that conflict where Ukraine ever had a chance against Russia. There is no positive outcome for Ukraine. More money just means more death.
In what world does Ukraine have a chance of actually reclaiming their territory? Even by the most optimistic estimates, Ukraine's recent counteroffensive has lost tens of thousands of soldiers to claim... A rural village.
Russia doesn't have the manpower and resources to take Ukraine; do you really think they'd even try to fight all of Europe?
The US defeated the Soviet Union in the late 1980's. Modern day Russia's plutocratic oligarchy is not the Soviet Union, no matter how much people want the Cold War back.
That's why Putin nearly got himself couped right? Because Ukraine is so easy to just take? You're giving him way too much credit if you think a long drawn out war is part of the plan and not a colossal miscalculation that he's stuck with.
USA actually has a way to defeat its cold war nemesis without losing a single soldier.
That's a quote from the person I replied to equating modern day Russia with the Cold War USSR; so you're wrong that nobody said that.
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.
