    Again threatening us with a good time, but unfortunately this is probably worth as much as the pile of manure western think tanks were feeding the world in Ukraine topic before.

    So i read it and yup, the exact same manure and it's still sprinkled with copium

    It would give China the green light to flex its power over a weakened US and cost US taxpayers an "astronomical" sum to pay for beefed-up defense spending.

    "Such an outcome would bring a battered but triumphant Russian army right up to NATO's border from the Black Sea to the Arctic Ocean,"

    That would mean that the US would be forced to deploy a "sizable portion" of its ground forces to Eastern Europe

    Literally every paragraph is crybullying and saberratling. They really get paid heavy money for that regurgitated nonsense?

      What I love the most about these articles is how they just treat the idea that US needs to dominate the world militarily as being axiomatic. It's never explained why this is in the interest of American people, it's just a given that US will have to keep expanding the military at the cost of the standard of living of its people because reasons.

        Just like when they cried that the USSR put nukes in Cuba after the US already put nukes in Turkey, and a shit load of other countries right next to the USSR. But it's the Russians that are aggressive and militaristic.

          Thank you to my high school modern history teacher who was also the football coach for telling my about the Turkey nukes during the unit on the cold war, and also for showing us how to flick a coin like a tiny frisbee

      So the excessive military spending by the US empire is China's fault somehow.

      “Such an outcome would bring a battered but triumphant Russian army right up to NATO’s border from the Black Sea to the Arctic Ocean,”

      Wasn't that exactly what they promised Ukraine lol?

      I wonder if not expanding the de facto NATO-Russia border might have prevented the expansion of the NATO-Russia border 🤔
