Romney, everyone laughed and said it’s not the Cold War era anymore. Little did they know he was 100% correct seeing how Russia had already invaded Georgia a few years prior
Have you seen that video where Xi Jinping and Putin shake hands and basically announce that they intend to upend the existing global order, meaning US “rules based” hegemony?
Russia itself isn’t a threat but so far it’s brought together China, Iran and parts of Africa that are done with US colonization and living under the US’ boot.
China has its own imperial ambitions in Africa. There’s no good super power, but at the end of the day, Russia was the one that invaded Ukraine. No amount of RT propaganda will change that.
Of course they do. Just because I’m critical of the West I’m not automatically in favor of other autocratic regimes. But it’s been a long time since I’ve seen that many African leaders standing up to their Western oppressors and that wouldn’t happen if the Chinese/Russians and their deals would be as terrible for Africans as the Western ones. They’re openly challenging the West right now and it’s about time that happened.
I trust that China/Russia are more trustworthy in terms of letting other countries decide their own fate without engaging in regime change/color revolution style interference just based on historical precedence so far.
Remember when a certain senator stood before the house with two blank pieces of paper and said most democrats supported Russia?
Remember when a certain republican said that Russia was the biggest geopolitical threat facing America and all the Democrats laughed at him?
I actually don’t remember that, who was it?
Magic underwear man

Russia invaded Georgia? People laughed? Am I under a rock?
Edit: oh, the country, not the state

Ask Taiwan or Ukraine if they think their neighbors respect them.
What’s good for the EU is an autonomous Ukraine that keeps growing the grain they buy. What’s good for Ukraine is their autonomy.
I don’t remember that, but I do remember a group of Republicans visiting Russia on July fucking 4th.
