Yes China makes big distinction between US and Europe in its rhetoric. And they are working on pulling Europe from USA, but it’s early days and it will take time. Lots of time.

I don’t think so. They are culturally too different. Europe will continue to suck American cock for at least couple decades going forward. That’s not to say that economic ties won’t increase in the meantime.

If you think about it from position of China being the biggest threat, then only Asian bases and countries matter. That’s why we don’t hear much about Trump doing crazy things in that region.

While Europe is important, it should be able to fend for itself. Also Europe joining China is unlikely in short and mid term. So it make sense to spend less money on Europe and focus on Asia.

Also explains the Russia situation. Although culturally Russia is as European as Sweden and Germany, this war has pushed it closer to China than ever. If the conflict lasts longer, then their alignment would be immenent. Personally I’m surprised that they didn’t align more. China was being surprisingly passive about the whole thing.

Military industrial complex obvsly

Hey I’m American and I’m all for EU paying for the war in perpetuity and for our mic sinking all the way to the bottom on Mariana trench.

Spoiler alert: it won’t

Haha. Are you serious? I swear to God, propaganda makes people so dumb it’s unbelievable.

Didn’t take that long for Vietnam US relationship to settle down.

I feel like people who care about something this stupid are either shills for trump or just too damn stupid to see a bigger picture. In the latter case I guess I have to give it to Trump: he threw a bone that idiots couldn’t pass up.

Right? Honestly there are plenty of geographical features that are named differently between different languages and countries. It really doesn’t affect anybody except people in the US.

Plus they got a few new territories. Those come with some population

Attrition will only work if they have the same starting point, but Russia has way more population than Ukraine.

They can’t “win”. If by winning you mean take all their land back. But they can delay losing long enough for administration change in US maybe. EU is helping but it’s not enough, their stores are depleted. Also long term prospects in EU don’t look good for Ukraine. Many governments are shifting right.

He totally will. Of course Ukraine can choose to continue on fighting without US support. That prolly won’t be very productive. At least not in terms of recovery of land, but they can delay total loss by at least a few years if they choose this.

Meh who cares what he says now. Trump will negotiate the deal with Putin and then somebody will let Zelensky know what it is. Just like it happened for South Korea.

What about it? Two pieces of classic propaganda

It did that and it did the opposite. Meaning it was promoting local cultures many times in it’s recent history. Including right now. No other major country in the world is doing that. That all to say that Russia is not as imperialistic as it’s perceived. Rather the opposite. Especially as compared to … Well anything else

Lol yeah. Just look at the results. Everybody still speaks their languages even small ethnicities inside Russia free to teach their languages in school. Now contrast that to native Americans and their languages.

I totally would surrender. Definitely wouldn’t fight. Russians are not Israeli or Americans. They actually include people into their country instead of genociding/exploiting them for one resource or another.

I don’t get it. Are Ukrainiens still fighting? Why? What is Russia going to do? Give them money like they gave it to Chechens after the war? Just stop this stupid dying and surrender already. Save some of my money.
