US is feeling really ballsy lately. Would be hilarious if their response was to start meeting with leaders of seperatists in Hawaii, Texas, Puerto Rico, Alaska, even California lmao. Do you guys think they’re trying to force a confrontation while Russia is bogged down in Ukraine? Kinda seems like that is their goal. Bog down Russia as long as possible and while Russia is busy take advantage of US having all of Europe in a firm bloc? They are also trying to form a bloc I feel to slow down the insane amount of trade china does with Europe, but if they keep up the sanctions on Russia and China we may see some European countries go neutral or even side with china out of pure economic necessity. The US economy is collapsing and dollar hegemony in waning- even Saudi Arabia is now trading with china in yuan.
Imagine you are married but had a fight with your SO and stay in separate rooms for a bit while you work things out. Then you SOs “really good work friend” starts coming by bringing dinner and and shit but only for your SO. Also they do so uninvited and come in through the window in your SOs room. Also you are the sole owner of your house. Also this work friend has a history of violent and abusive behavior and has made it know they would like it if you just happen to die.
Only you are a Global super power and your SOs good work friend is a Country that runs endless propaganda against you and your citizens.
Omg lol that’s actually pretty accurate. I think the funniest part is how officially on the record, USA has to recognize PRC bc how the fuck are they gonna do all that international trade without the largest population on Earth as a market?
Kind of like how your SOs friend knows you’re married
That’s so good lol
