'We've lost a partner and a friend': Ukrainians somber as U.S. partnership disintegrates
-
US is not really withdrawing, just restructuring\diversifying its investments so to say, from guys like EU to guys like Milei/Netanyahu/Putin, which is not really new for US foreign policy.
It's what Russia does that has cost it even dictatorships from among its former allies, but their strategy is based on "there's no other place for them to go", with Armenia and Georgia this is correct (despite all the pretentious words neither got hard backing from the west), with Central Asian nations not really, with Ukraine undecided.
The obvious difference - US really is what thieving jerks in charge of Russia pretend to be. What Russia can't do, It can.

Immigrants from Eastern Europe tend to have such alignments. Ukrainians even more than Russians.

I read that in the accent of the French soldier from Holy Grail.
-
Well shit. TIL!

No one said or implied we were talking recently...
I was specifically talking about his initial rise to power, which, as you stated, was in a significant power vacuum and period of instability for Russia. Hence why I said "at first" in my previous comment.

Ah, you missed that they voted now to change it to a superreich. To the rest it will be known as a superclowner
-
Which if you think of it is weird as they should want to crush Russia and then extort cheap oil and resources from them
-
And people who should be in power also tend to get assassinated.
-
A superpower that has yet to win a war.

yup, trump's a symptom not a straight up cause. his demise is expected to be the least consequential of this "elite" trio, as he is already getting sidelined without consequence. Old, virile trump would have fired musk a month ago.
-
That's not what matters. Superpowers make supermesses.

nice pfp

As somebody from the US, I can't wait to see our country fall. The world isn't going stand by and let us fuck with them anymore

The EU outranks China in terms of economical and political influence, exporting standards and even laws with market and soft power. Only took a couple of years until states all over the world started copying the GDPR, noone anywhere is producing phones without USB-C charging any more, and those are just prominent examples. And people don't even realise how big of an impact the CSDDD will have.

Pro tip: if someone says something is anything based on race or regional group, they are likely lying to you. Double if group is asian. Double again if china. "Ancient Chinese wisdom" is actually, by some mathematical quirks, 103.7% likely to not be from china.
-
The whole "well shit" portion is because I usually don't buy into that stuff, and this was legit an eye opener for me. I guess I could have easily said that in the first comment. But I'm lazy.

Hey I'm sending thoughts and prayers, the official sponsor of not doing shit to save children from being murdered.
Edit: apparently people don't find American child protection systems to be effective.. who'd have thunk it.

What action would you suggest, that will stop this in any way?
-
What have you done to stop this?

Seems there was more than a fair amount of manipulation in the voting, the MSM and Putin's social media psyops program here too.
