why would i want the country i live in to stop its wave of influence around the globe?

Russian government not lying about what? They haven't even said anything lmao. It's the US making claims about the Russians preparing to do a false flag operation lmao, the burden of proof is on them

idk if this is the same but i came here to post this thread. Has info about exchanges and reporters pressing Psaki on AF1 too

Yeah it's the same story lmao, it's so comically childish to be like OH SO YOU BELIEVE ISIS??

This is too funny man. Dude asked where is the declassified information and the official said "i just delivered it"

now you know damn well thats not how our SEVENTEEN intelligence agencies work

Dude really stood there and said "trust me bro." Like dawg we can't hand media members or the people a single piece of paper?

let's focus on fixing this country first before we focus on "fixing" other countries

well im gonna go ahead and assume russia will deny this lmao

but na uk what after rethinking its def good for matt lee to be this aggressive being that theyre making some pretty bold f***ing claims without actually presenting evidence

strongly agree

but we cant lose the battle of influence to china

wtf did he say

Least imperialistic breadtuber

I sincerelely hope that you do, on behalf of all Ethiopians and most others from non-Western countries

cant necessarily blame u lmao

EDIT: yes i can imagine wanting a chinese global regime over american

just listened to vaush’s take (45 second video). gonna watch the whole debate now but MY GOD. sanctions are considered genocide now?

i swear some of these ppl are actually pro russian weirdos

Nah wtf is wrong with this guy lmao he has to be on the payroll at this point

"libertarian socialist" moment

What is the point of sanctions, if not to starve a country into political submission?

over exertion of influence building will eventually bite china in the ass the same way it did the US, regardless of if they circumvent the interventionalism and warmonger profiteering which defined historiclal US nationbuilding.
You have to consider especially as the actual people behind china's theorycrafting are essentially reaganite neocons posing behind political aesthetics - the only difference is that China is in its economic era where it's seeing an economic boom similar to the US did during the 80s, and they're focused a lot of resources on domestic growth. People can bring up things like China's "views on human rights" but i guarantee you those "views" are what the US would candidly possess in the <80s regardless of if they would openly say it. Much of China's current trajectory honestly replicates much of the US's trajectory maybe half a century ago.
Much of the entire idea of what currently define China's theorycrafting is attempting to pick up where they think the US failed - people like Xi literally had their political development defined by spending time in America and learning about concepts like the American Dream. Virtually anything else about them ideologically is largely almost pseudo-ritualistic, like them praising communism the same way the US pays lipservice to religion without it really infesting deep into political structure.
The US and China for as much as they create tensions with each other are really near intertwined entities; there's a symbiotic relationship between the US (or at least in the abstract, the US economy) and China - China's beef with the US comes more from our administration and government, the tension is there, it's not with the underlying economy or nation; that underbelly facilitates so much of what allows China's economy to exist to begin with that they couldn't have beef with that even if they wanted to.

nothing but what u described and potentially avoiding war

its insane people really think sanctions hurt the most powerful in a country or a government in any way shape or form and not just essentially destroy the livelihoods and wellbeings of millions of innocent people. like Iran, Syria, and Cuba are perhaps the most sanctioned countries in the world and with Iran & Syria on top of all these sanctions they also have literal US-funded civil wars and sectarian conflict meant to topple their leadership, and it hasn't done literally jack s*** to effect the regimes there to think that would work in Russia when it hasn't worked in f***ing Iran is bizarre

i dont want beef with china but like u said were wrapped up in so much history. the fact that we even work so well together whilst parroting such opposing philosophies (christianity and communism) is actually probably one of the greatest things to happen for human civilization. but the way the chinese government treats its people domestically is enough for me to prefer american influence (or at least what american influence signifies today) id certainly love to be able to live in a world in which america can remove itself from all its global interventions. but at the end of the day if we’re not there to hold down our interests globally what stops china and russia from one day setting their sights on us? and sure i agree the war mongering exists, but to deny both china and russia’s interest in weakening and delegitimizing america’s influence around the world would be an ahistorical suggestion imo

tensions dont have to be as high as they are, sure, but we didnt get here simply cuz neocons wanna sell military contracts uk?

isnt this a good way to pressure a government to meet the demands of those sanctioning it?

The Iran egimme is in shambles actually. Sanctions have made it so that there aint enough money to pay the allowances of basiji and hizbullahi top dawgs so now they all pointing at each other and calling out THIEF lmao.

If China suddenly embargoed the US because of some political condition, leading to a shortage of goods, do you think Americans would argue to submit to China??

The answer is no, and the answer remains no for any country on earth. Sanctions do nothing but deprive ordinary people of goods they deserve

3 years from now Putin gonna be Sneaker Shopping with Complex telling Joe La Puma about how he used to cop Jordan’s in the 90’s
