Guh. They spin harder than a goddamned pulsar. Zelenskyy had incredible restraint to sit through this meeting, what a total waste of his valuable time.

The EU and the world needs to lift one big middle-finger to this administration and support Ukraine in any way possible. The US needs to be shut out in the cold, NOW. Kick them out of NATO. Put Ukraine in their place. EU, throw out the bloody procedural bullshit and just DO IT NOW. Start building tanks and planes and drones and ammo NOW, because the world will need it to stop Russia without the US's help. After Ukraine, it'll be Moldova, then all the other small neighbouring nations, then ...

Don't forget the part about how China has been planning for an isolationist America to push its own territorial ambitions. This is not going to be merely hell in the Baltics, a world war is taking shape as the long peace crumbles.

Peaceful enough that apparently people in industrial nations forgot how bad war really is if they elect war mongers like Trump as leaders.

You will if a war starts like the one /u/gradually_adjusting is talking about

It's a term people have used to describe the state of affairs since the last hot war between major powers.

i don't blame China for that though, i haven't seen anything China's done to advance american isolationism, just seems like they had some measure of foresight

China surpassed Russia in internet influence shenanigans years ago.

People just became somewhat aware of Russia's activities because of "Russiagate" and then when Russia invaded Ukraine we started seeing the shilling for Russia.

China saw the success of Russia's operations and stepped up their activities. Also they have TikTok which is a direct line to young people in the West to promote discontent.

young people should probably be discontented thh

They also dont need to go to war to benefit. China as a whole is doing well moving into the future.
