      Russia is the junior partner to China but also the greatest threat to Europe of all time, somehow

        And even if China is the senior partner to the country that europe cannot beat, europe can definitely beat them. All we need is unity (and infinite money to the MIC)

    Putin, residing in Moscow

    I’m having trouble understanding why he chose to emphasize the Russian leader being in the capital of Russia. Is it because Trump is in Florida all the time? I’d rule a country from a remote location. Like a sick island hideout with jetski ramps and soda machines. We could drink rum out of coconuts and talk like pirates. We’ll rule from international waters. Nobody can call the cops.

    It is kind of funny if you try to take on the perspective of the EU countries. “OMG China is so evil, but they offer us cheap good and treats and we cant help ourselves but buy from them, but also they are so evil and we cant underestimate them and need to stand strong, but also we wont stop buying cheap treats from them…”

    On the one hand I like Mark Rutte because he is such a repulsive little sycophant with no dignity that several people I know who used to be kind of pro NATO have kind of started to backtrack because they are disgusted by his actually very honest representation of what NATO is about. On the other hand I don’t like Mark Rutte because it is impossible to like Mark Rutte.

        They don’t know about them and they’re not going to read up on the history, so no. But Rutte is right there, being disgusting. I can point to him and say that that is what NATO is.

      And what’s with the presentation here. Why is this (I assume) twitter comment presented as some great man telling you something profound that will be remembered. Are they putting this on a plaque somewhere?

    I mean behind closed doors they are often like this, and have been since the beginning. The first guy was a Nazi. NATO / adjascent generals like McArthur were crude and genocidal.

    They just don’t have the respectability veneer cultivated by liberals. Crude behind the scenes, diplomatic and higj-minded in print or in front of cameras. Their subculture doesn’t care about that.

    I don’t think this is actually a worse thing in any way. Imperialists being worse at PR means we can discuss what is happening more easily and openly rathee than also having to teach liberals basic media criticism. Like how no, Biden was not actually fighting for a ceasefire, he is genocidal and should be tried and foind guilty for his crimes.

    That’s NATO’s strategy laid bare. Attempt to whittle down Russia in isolation so China can be whittled down in isolation to Russia. Iran fits into this somewhere, too, but it still hasnt entrenched itself into the Asian hemisphere.

    if china were going to reincorporate chinese taipei they would run an intelligence campaign there to promote the standard of living in mainland china vs the island and promote the already present political party that is open to reincoporation to just sweep an election or two thus forcing the west’s hand to do a messy and bloody coup which then would provide justification for violent intervention by china to liberate the island
