Lol when I saw this news, I knew it was up. Weakening China and lessening dependence on them has officially taken priority over making money for the US government.


Damn. Everything is starting to make sense. All these chip manufacturers are moving manufacturing back to America. We will no longer rely on Taiwan in a decade or two. You think china takes them over in that case?

I have been pretty skeptical of Western intervention on Syria but Assad fukked up badly by cracking down on the peaceful protesters brutally.
The CIA and intelligence agencies of the Gulf States then stepped in with an opportunity to overthrow Assad

Why you ask???

This

Qatar-Turkey pipeline - Wikipedia

The West wants to eliminate Russias geopolitical stranglehold on natural gas so they saw an opportunity to put in place a Syrian government that would allow such a project.

Iran also wants to build one to through Syria
Good post about how much energy plays into the West’s conflict with Russia.
Nigeria, the most populous nation in Africa, inching toward another civil war and nobody outside of the Nigerian media covering, similar conflicts going on all over Africa.

We got the CIA pulling coups in the Middle East and South America again, and nobody cares.

China and India, the two most populous nations in the world, going at it in an actual armed conflict that soldiers are dying in, and nobody cares.

Russia punking Europe and extorting them for oil, while knocking off defectors that Western superpowers supposedly were protecting, nobody cares.

Sweden just passed their biggest military budget since WW2.

USA and China playing war games in the South China Sea.

Welcome to Cold War 2

They won’t get the picture til it’s too late, if it ain’t entertainment or social media you can’t pay people to pay attention.
This was before the invasion of Ukraine, Russia has been extorting Europe for access to their oil and natural gas. Popular global opinion is the US blew up that Russian pipeline to prevent Europe from folding and going back to Russia when shyt starts to get really ugly (and it’s already ugly in Europe right now).

Hell the only thing making the US economy look good right now is how bad the European economies look.
dude the ruble has already bounced back, they have more than enough to pay their debts without defaulting, their collaborating with China to building a rival financial system.
Stop thinking Russia is a unruly country that will get put in it's place, they're drawing a line in the sand and saying any countries that don't really fukk with the West come build with us.
This is BRICS taken to the extreme.

Please get your news from actual people that have an actually stake in the outcome of this war, instead of the media conglomerates that have financial stake in the war
The ruble has bounced back. Are sanctions not working?
How Russia can avert sovereign default and why it might not care
China and Russia to establish independent financial systems: Russian media - Global Times
People gotta stop thinking this conflict starts and ends with Russia, they recruiting for a new world order and while a lot of countries are staying neutral, that’s only until they see how this conflict plays out. This isn’t a war against Russian aggression as much as it a war to prevent other nations from seeing Russia as a viable ally.

Naw, these proxy wars achieve the same goal of checking each other with less risk towards the power countries.
China been out the fray for the most part and maybe the next step is for them to engage in military operation against a U.S proxy
The stakes just seem too high for them to engage each other directly right now

And they still get to sell weapons and make money. It will be hard to fight a conventional world war people across the globe ain’t about that anymore. Now if a resource gets low such as water or food then I see it.

If Russia manages to keep the parts of Ukraine they’ve already taken without much consequence post war, I think China definitely makes a play for Taiwan. But the same way the USA is trying to ween themselves off China, think China is trying to distance itself economically from the West before they make their move.



China has a trillion plus in US dollars and they just gave the order to their banks to pull that money out of the US/Global economy and bring it back to China.

Lol at NATO gaining members who asked to join being a reason...unless you have something else up your up your sleeve?
We didn’t let Russian setup missile systems in our backyard during the Cuban Missile Crisis, so what makes you think Russia would allow us to do the same.

The West has been putting a battery in the back of Ukraine for a decade now, that coup that happened to remove the pro-Russia government in 2014 was definitely Western meddling.

I live near the largest missile range in the world. Our defense systems' accuracy looking worse than Chris Dudley at the FT line.
Yeah, basically from this video we'd only stop stop a handful of the incoming hundreds of nukes:


Nuclear missiles and payloads will have shrapnel and dummy warheads fired with them that take down our missiles that try to intercept them. So while hyper sonics are really advanced tech, you don't even need them because no one can stop traditional nukes fired the old fashioned way anyways.

If war is declared between two super powers it's basically over for everyone.

exactly

I listened to an interview from a former CIA agent and he made some good points. US/Nato don't actually give a fukk about Ukraine, wouldn't even let their corrupt asses join the colition. He broke down how Ukraine is basically a pawn right now that's being put in debt (to the US) and the US gets to sit back and basically watch how their tech performs against Russian tech with zero risk. He went into how Russia will try to manipulate energy supply to Europe and we basically just saw the beginning stages of that with yesterdays OPEC announcement. People who think this is as simple as "ukraine won the city of doreskistan yesterday" ain't seeing the bigger picture


I also think cyber-war can't be understated as these conflicts arise. We already know about China tiktok, hacking, etc. But you can't act like Russia are some imbeciles than in the same breath talk about how they influenced a U.S election. if the proxy wars heat up i could see the cyber warfare going in overdrive

If there is WW3, it will be sparked by accident. The difference between now and 1940s is the globalized economy. Too much money at stake for the super rich to have it destroyed by war.
