Why do you want to swap with Russia and China? Just answer that. There’s clearly no independence on the table. So what’s the differencev
It seems like a lot of the anti west black folks want "competition" in the arena of global power, and that western hegemony needs a check.

That being said, I can't see how anyone sane would want to live under autocrats like Xi, Modi, or Putin.

I have a sick feeling in my stomach that the next 5 - 10 years are going to be the hardest we've ever known. Hope I'm wrong, but shyt is about to be on. All this posturing is just to get people to puff their chests out respectively. Put those batteries in backs.

Competition? Cool. Just replacing one for the other? Nah. Especially when none of these anti American despots actually have BLACK diasporas.

You a whole idiot if you think Russia is telling the truth. They covered up their Syrian losses too.

After deadly Syrian battle, evidence of Russian losses was obscured

Rise up!
Iraq wasn’t a global invasion. America invaded from the Kuwait air base which they stockpiled with troops, fuel and food for months
It took proper planning and logistics to go across the globe and invade a country with an Army of over 400,000 troops equipped with the latest Soviet/Russian technology at the time. We were invading a country that dug in and were waiting on us while we built up. Russians have been planning for months against a country on their border so logistics shouldn’t be a problem. They outran their LOCs and supply lines right on their border not to mention the comparison of casualties from both Iraq wars compared to this one :mjlol:

We didn’t lose into the 1000s the first month, hell probably the first year combined and they had T64s, T72s, BMPs, BMDs, RPGs, AT5 spandrels, Hinds, dshkas, iglas, brdms, s300s, SCUDs, etc :mjlol:

I also stopped following them and took a break from footy completely (apart from cup finals especially Champions league) when Mourinho got fired the 2nd time - for American sports. They almost gave me heart attack. I was super-passionate about footy and I needed that break. Got back into it during covid with Lampz at the helm and I’ve not looked back.

That 04-05 Chelsea squad.:wow: People who claim Mourinho always park the bus never watched Chelsea that season. 4-3-3 total football with Robben and Duff on the wings and Joe Cole off the bench - that was Klopp’s Liverpool before Klopp. Robben was just too injury prone and immature and Duff never full recovered from the injury he had.

Do you remember the team before Roman bought the club that almost knocked a Barca team with Figo, Rivaldo, Guardiola, Kluivert, Xavi, De Boer at al out of the Championship league before Babayaro conceded a pen in the last min (I think)? That’s one of my fave Chelsea teams of all time. Wise, Petrescu, Zola, Deschamps, Babayaro and Desailly. :banderas: I was a puppy back then but that team.:wow:

Man like Flo - the Norwegian Kanu!
Honestly how dirty Mourinho was done by us twice was a big turn off and the beginning of the end of my football watching days. Yeah football just seemed that much more interesting and unpredictable in the late 90s all the way into the 2000s. As of the 2010s for me that’s when the decline began, in a way as transfer fees increased, the quality and competitiveness in football began to disappear. Every year it was Messi or Ronaldo getting the player of the year, even if they didn’t deserve it at times. I hope their retirement ushers in a new era.
