    It’s actually really simple and it’s a lesson that politicians the world over should have learned by now.

    The USA has never had allies. It has had patsies of convenience. That is all.

      I agree but also think it means a lot more.

      As Orwell well showcased in homage to Catalina, antifascism is empty without an accompanied positive idea. We are fighting against the fascists, but what are we fighting for.

        Social and economic wellbeing of all labourers! Afgordable housing, groceries, and a clean home, with equal labour rights for all so there’s no incentive to mass hire immigrants.

        (The last one isn’t necessarily part of my thought, but it might get people on board who otherwise vote on right-wing parties, solely because of the immigration thingy.)

        The narrative must be focused on the economy. None of that cultural warfare nonsense, all on the economics.

    What a weak headline. Some of those countries have nuclear weapons. Of course they can flex, and that would be dramatic, and something would happen.

        Since the fall of the USSR Russia has been involved in 3 cross-border military conflicts with its immediate neighbors over borders and territories that the USSR essentially defined while in the same time the USA has launched over a dozen wars of conquest and used NATO as a platform to launch unprovoked aggression for at least 3 of them, none of which were neighbors of the USA with whom the USA has border conflicts with but rather were on entirely different continents.
