  1. I think you have a different version of reality its going terribly for both Russia and the Ukraine. The US has lost basically zero soldiers while giving away some fairly old equipment. Also the Russian currency is worth almost nothing. I mean those pardoned convicts in wagner marched on Moscow. Thats not a sign of things going well

  2. I think that people were not ready for social media. All the weird conspiracy theory’s have exploded in the last 20 years and made average people less logical and more crazy. I miss the days of having to get you com ports and IRQs set eight to maybe get your modem on the internet. It was like a moron filter. It kept many of the people not ready for the internet off the internet.

  3.  @张驰昊-o2q Just because they were from mainland China doesn’t mean that the mainland has some automatic right to rule the Taiwan people. Taiwan doesn’t want to be ruled and they saw what happened in Hong Kong.

  4. they could get on a cruise ship and go to Antarctica. and find that there is no guards or mile high Ice walls but most conspiracy theorist are not about to pit effort into proving themselves wrong.

  6. ⁠ @martingooding8989  sure the US has made some really huge mistakes in the middle east and around the world. However many of the things it does are positive. Like foreign policy of every great power its complicated. Just as Chinas Africa policy is complicated. Beneficial and detrimental in different aspects. In the pacific the US is mainly interested enforcing uniform rules on use of international waters and freedom of navigation. If China gets its way it will cause significant problems with shipping in international waters. Also it really really really doesn’t want china to invade Taiwan. This would cause a world wide semiconductor crisis and cause huge supply chain problems like world economy crashing ones.

  7. George bush and the neo conservatives thought that they needed to have a friendly regime installed in the middle east. I think they did actually think Iraqis would side with this new US backed govt. It was a huge mistake. Many people in the US protested against the invasion. (US protestors don’t get thrown out windows here) But it is not as big a mistake as the Ukraine invasion because Russia has so much more to loose. This will be worse than that 1980s Soviet invasion of Afghanistan.

  8. Its like slow motion V for vendetta. I wish I could say that it cant happen in the US but I would be lying. It would just take longer in the US.

  9.  @joey3291 none of that matters what matters is forcible re-unification is very unpopular with the public in Taiwan so they are going to elect leaders that prevent takeover by China. I think China squashing of all dissent in Hong Kong probably didn’t help public opinion in Taiwan.

  10. Yea I was super disappointed when he got involved in twitter. I used to wish i had tried to go work for spaceX or tesla. Then he got super political and started to throw it all away. Now he is pouring money into right wing political campaigns and trolling people on his personal social media company. Its just so disappointing.

  12. The US has done both. As have all powerful countries. The US does give large amounts of international aid. It also has invaded countries.

  13. I think with different leadership in china bill Clinton could have been right. Many people in china would have preferred for it to become more democratic and open. It almost worked we almost got our star-trek future.

  14. who cares if capitols of Australia are getting nuked first. Every one everyone is getting nuked if that happens and its the end of the world. All of this is about detergence Its all about making sure that everyone KNOWs for sure that a nuclear war cant be won. Chinese leaders have been rational and will act in their own best interest so everything should be OK.

  15. also just a side note it takes like 25 mins for an ICBM to get anywhere so its kind-of splitting hairs.

  16.  @rose8596 If The South Koreans elect a government that feels safe enough to request US forces to leave Korea then it would happen. It is expensive to keep all those troops there. The US still has bases in other nearby countries.

  17. Pakistan has not really been on the US side lately. That whole hiding bin laden from the US during a decade of war thing.

  18.  @eyeperture I don’t blame India for buying cheap russian oil. India needs to support its energy needs. As long as they dont sell Russia a bunch of ammo I bet the USA wont be bothered.

  19.  @tiberianexcalibur it super wont “come for india” because that makes no sense. Also The US would never be so stupid as to invade India or China or Russia. Because its basically impossible. The US navy might sink troop ships that are headed for Taiwan or Japan but thats not the same.

  20.  @VashtheStampede007 Su-30 was probably a better deal at the time.

  22.  @WastedBananas  Japan an South Korea are maintaining their independence.

  23.  @royhuang9715 The USA doesn’t plan on fighting China on the ground with infantry. So it doesn’t need canon fodder. Just lots and lots of anti ship missiles.

  24.  @戚文玮 Russia is only a super power in terms of nuclear warheads. Its economy is smaller than Italys and was before the Ukraine war. The Soviet Union was a superpower.

  26.  @davidmoss2576 Russia had all the choice. Just as the US chose to invade Iraq.

  27.  @Johnarchiebald Probably also loads of people in the US navy and air-force. Taiwans ability to trade in the open market is critical to the world economy/ US economy. If there is a war it will be bad for everyone and there will be US casualties.

  28.  @丁nin I think they are pro Taiwan independence. They are allied with the US to keep them independent not because they love the US.

  32.  @lumiyogiwitch2081 Sure the USA has done lousy things and acted in its own interests however if you talking about the environment chinas record is not all that great the build a coal plant like every week.

  33. The US government doesn’t need the Ukraine to launder money. The US govt controls the most important reserve currency in the world. It is in their military strategic interest that the Russian government wastes its military resources on an un-winnable war though.

  34. Cable tv news in the US has been headed the same direction especially fox. It has been making old people nuts. They think the craziest stuff after watching years of garbage propaganda.

  35.  @ragnarchinknor159  sure but like he said you can change the channel. Its not like the Biden administration shut down fox news. Its not like the trump administration threw NY times reporters out of windows.
