    They are incapable of comprehending the concept of two sovereign countries that aren’t in an overlord-vassal relationship and also aren’t enemies, because those are the only ways that the US relates to other countries.

    I swear to god that this channel and all of the ones like it are a fuckin psyop.

    Every time I see one of these videos pop into my feed, it’s always the most brain-dead filth. It just feels like the US’s propaganda wing.

    “Russia’s new alliance is dumb actually, and we’re going to use language that subconsciously makes you believe that it’s evil too.” “Russia and China hate each other actually, and will go to war because we want to believe that they will”, so on, so forth.

    Honestly even if China DID just randomly decide to invade Russia for no apparent reason, it wouldn’t cause WW3. Every western imperialist would be having the party of their life while they let them fight it out. They would be fucking thrilled, nobody would dare get involved to the point it would become a world war. They’d have massive balkanization parties where they figured out who would get which piece of each country.

    Of course, the chances of that happening are about as likely as the US withdrawing all their occupation forces from bases around the world.

    What is far more likely to cause WW3 is probably the “country” bombing other countries, staging a yet ongoing genocide, and assassination foreign leaders extra-judicially.

      In a massive potential show of force, I could theoretically see the U.S. pulling out across the world but retaining it’s gear, ships and military to act as a threat that they could invade anyone they want, while they focus on internal oppression.

      But you’re right in that it would be ridiculously stupid and unlikely.

    It seems impossible for Western fascists to comprehend that most people don’t have the primal urge to invade and genocide everyone around them once their country is strong.
