In the US, housing prices are among the lowest in the world relative to the population's purchasing power. Its MUCH worse in China.

@yingfengxuan Considerint thay North Korea and Iran are isolated after being stupid imperialists, I'd say it works really well to stop imperialist countries like Russia.

@crimbo6993 Vietnam and Afghanistan wre justified with context. Iraq is the only fair comparison. It also has literally nothing to do with this.

Then you're an imperialist dog and a monster.

Proply because Crimeans weren't being ethnically cleansed and US troops didn't go to Kosovo to set up a referendum for them while shooting international observers. Nice try though, troll. Bomb the genocidals Yugoslavs again.

@jtwood4925 Great. But that's a miniscule amount of time in the grand scheme of things. What exactly would Trump have done differently that would have avoided this? Iran saw no reason to stop attacking the US while Trump was in office, so why would Russia? Remember; Russia was still busy in Syria while Trump was in office, then Covid happened. If Trump were in office, it likely would be worse. Russia had no issue poking the US still while he was around; mostly because the US isn't as insane as Russia is. Don't drag local politics into this, no US President could stop this without threatening a World War.

This is a straight lie, people are fleeing specifically TO the USD because of how unstable so many other currencies are atm. The only possible alternative to USD was the Euro -all other competitors were way too far behind USD usage at 44% of the international economy.

@therealoneisneo China's entire history is thay of conquest. China's neighbors were conquered and incorporated into China until it expanded ro make new neighbors. If you want to talk about wars, then China for 99.99% of its history knew only war.

@thiamyeeteo4768 An arrogant imperialist trying to ignore their history while preying on the naivety on Westerners. Shocking. Tell me; how did China expand beyond the Yellow River to become a massive empire? Asking nicely, perhaps?

@adiq94 If your ideology has never been reached, then the transitory state becomes Communism; and it has a bad rep for a reason. If I make a random ideology that promises utopia if everyone gives me money, I can't say that my ideology has never been reached either.

And yet even still, they have infinitely better chances than most of the world including China. US' housing crisis is everyone else's housing boom.

Rest of the world generally agreed with the West after Serb genocide.

@marconiki6302 No? Everyone knows about those; but why would you want to punish people many years after the fact? And Germany was already punished. Sorry, but this isn't the 1800's anymore. Wanna genocide? Prepare to face the consequences.

@marconiki6302 It's their right, yes; that applies to ethnic Russians too. But Russia doesn't get to go there and do it themselves while preventing anyone from checking if the referendum was rigged. How would you feel if US troops invaded Serbia and forced a referendum for them to join Kosovo, huh??? Grow up; this is not the same. If these regions did so WITHOUT any Russian aid, then fine, they have the right.

@ThisisKyle Except if the West did do something, this comment section woukd be screeching that they want war against innocent Russia. No matter what, the West is at fault. It's pathetic.

Uh, the issue post-2021 had nothing to do with economy and everything to do with the massive pandemic that hit.

@sillasaram9121 Convenient that you'd want NATO to be dissolved and backstab all US allies for Russia, you bootlicker.
1
@senoramerico8622 No, they are Americans, as long as they cross legally. Just like people crossing into Mexico from the south are illegal aliens too, but you forgot to mention that.

@sirmitchy6718 Most US debt is held by Americans, genius. Go back to school.

 @DanJaw China calls everyone they don't like imperialist while stealing territory from their neighbors. Yes, they say stuff like that VERY often

@子实高-u4e You guys really don't understand how freedom works, do you? Not surprising, since you never experienced it. Freedom doesn't just mean voting or being able to do whatever you want. There is a LOT to it. And China has zero concept of it.

Not the full quote, so you are intentiinally lying about it lol
1
Did US troops invade and then force a referendum? Because that's what Russia did, genius.

@backtoasimplelife Those mansions tend to have extended family living in it as well as other mansions as a small community. Its quite different.
1
@anvold5152 "russophobic" US government huh? Incredible how nothing is Russia's fault. This mentality is exactly the problem.
1
Only country that is lowering their USD reserve is China, and even then they're going down from the very absurd high of 1 trillion USD. Russia is splurging USD to maintain their flagging economy.

@loongball Democracy is a form of government, it has nothing to do with international politics. Democracies, like all states, can band together to smash autocracies. Just as autocracies band together to do horrible stuff too. Just see Ukraine for example.
1
@jetli740 Nobody said that the US was a saint, just that its a saint by comparison. Also, the US attacking a country is nothing compared to literally stealing their lands, resources, and literal cultural geno. Also, China has the biggest body count in human history when just considering the past 100 years alone.

Palemo Rigo Americans thought they were soft when they killed 300 of them jn Syria. And it seems Russia is doing all of this to keep 9k US troops away. So maybe.

@jtwood4925 What exactly would Trump do to prevent this? Nothing barring setting troops in the region would stop this.

@SimonCU Its not common though, which is perhaps the biggest problem with it
