Seems like they just hate industrious hard working war mongers. Can't a warlord catch a break?

This looks like Russian/Chinese propaganda or just lazily photoshopped image.

Americans may be surprised to find that foreigners actually don't pay as much attention to US elections as they think. Even many people in the US don't care, they're just inundated with media coverage of it. At most about 66% of eligible voters even vote and the people that do vote aren't necessarily informed. You may have seen interviews with undecided voters. They turn up to vote but haven't necessarily put much thought into it.

As an aside, I find it funny when Americans scream about other countries empire building and carrying out provocative military exercises when the US has so many military bases everywhere. You don't need to officially annex land to control it, that's old style thinking.

Putin is gonna pee his pants in glee when his orange tool starts shutting them down

Hegseth is as hawkish on Russia as he is on China. But I would be less worried as Putin than I would be as a draft-eligible American. We're only going to double down on wars with this new guy in charge and that manpower needs to come from somewhere.

That boy has likely been away from service long enough not to know his head from his toes
