Not what I'm saying. I'm saying other countries will see that the US isn't potent enough, as it lacks it's former industrial base, to enforce their interests militarily.
Venezuela isn't as strong of an enemy as Russia. Russia has been up until the Ukraine conflict one of the largest weapons exporters. The recently released US NSS basically admits that the US overextended itself. They also got chased away by Yemen.
the US overextended themselves as admitted in the NSS. Putin having leverage over Trump with some blackmail is too conspiratorial/lib imo
True I agree. It's definitely a tendency that exists.
Well first of all Russia was planning for war against the United States since atleast the 2010s I helped do some planning in my own way. The US and NATO armies in general had mainly been training for counter insurgency. Now thanks to this stupid war the war machine is shifting towards preparing for direct armed conflict with peer competitors. Is the US or NATO there yet? No, but thanks to this war the idiots are preparing for even more even more brutal wars.
You keep talking about imperialism being defeated but refuse to acknowledge that it’s going to be replaced by something just as bad if not worse. I’ll also repeat the fact that Russia currently supports and trains the Neo nazi movement in Europe just as much as the United States and the UK support the Neo Nazis in Ukraine, so fuck Russia. At the moment there is absolutely no left wing alternative in the west which for better or worse is still the richest part of the world and for now the largest producer of knowledge. Hell China needs us because if our markets were to collapse they wouldn’t be able to sell their shit. Even if China does overtake them I have little hope that they’ll be much better than the US any considering how quickly they threw the Palestinians under the bus.
This is why I have no side in any of this bullshit and neither should any leftist who isn’t some kind of political hack with an agenda. Currently the world is on a WW3 build up path and anybody stupid enough to cheer along either side and call themselves a leftist is hilarious to me. Anyways I’m done with this discussion because Lemmy has the exact same well akshually tendencies that Reddit does.
Viewing politics as a zero sum I win you loose game is the type of thinking that collapsing empires have.
I said Russia defeating Ukraine will be a blow to Western imperialism. Meaning they won't be able to topple as easily other government that seek economic emancipation.You can only defeat Imperialism by overcoming capitalism.
Not sure if I understand you correctly, but it sounds chauvinodt af
Have you been keeping up with their 15-5? The CPC plans to increase domestic consumption as they finally seem to come to terms that this is a vulnerability
I'm not going to give China any shit for this, as the genocide is primarily upheld and perpetuaded by western regimes that support Israel.
I agree that the UDSSR was way better in their foreign policy
There's a qualitative difference between gaining power through military intervention and diplomatic and economic coercion like the west does (viewing the world through the lens or zero sum) and gaining power through trade and gaining it through trade and looking for win win opportunities
Sounds Idealist and ultra leftist but you do you
