If there is anything the Democratic part of the world should do, it's to change from bying "Made in China" to Made in everywhere else (except ๐ท๐บ๐ฐ๐ต๐ฎ๐ท). Every single item bought from China finances another Chinese "bullet or artillery shell".
If ๐จ๐ณ follows Xi & the CCP in doing an all out attack on Taiwan, the long term result will be of a character making the ๐จ๐ณ people wish they'd never heard of neither Xi nor the CCP. Everybody will lose big time, but ๐จ๐ณ most.
Moscow Mike does his best to sabotage aid for ๐บ๐ฆ. He's being pressured to do something, but regardless of how this works out, his (in)actions will certainly not be forgotten. Maga is truly a treasonous cult!
As it stands, there is no other sustainable way than our European countries digging MUCH deeper - substantially ramping up support to ๐บ๐ฆ. ๐ท๐บ has in reality declared war against a collective West, and if not defeated, ๐ท๐บ will just continue and ๐จ๐ณ follow suit vs. Taiwan, South China Sea etc..
There is no presidential election in russia - it's a sham, having no legitimacy!
Donald Trump not being behind bars, but the GOP presidential candidate, tells us about a broken US political system. But not only that, it tells us about a country where there is no accountability for bringing lies threatening democracy itself. Freedom of speach should always include accountability!
I never thought we'd experience this - US collapsing as a reliable partner - brought into deadlock by a Putin friendly, wannabe dictator & his cult of morally derailed followers. Alarm bells are ringing in Europe & every US partner country - the US can no longer be the cornerstone of our security.
If they only had "volumes"! ๐ท๐บ has no mil. strength to stop attacks outside ๐บ๐ฆ. If ๐บ๐ฆ could manage the logistics, they should ignore our Western fear of escalation mongers, and move into ๐ท๐บ, get behind ๐ท๐บ forces in Luhansk.
Scholz is lying! As he has been lying at every step, trying to block or minimize German assistance! We can only speculate what FSB has on this former close friend of DDR/USSR communists.
๐บ๐ฆ carries the entire burden, but Putin's regime has in reality declared war against our democratic, Western Europe. So what sort of game are we playing? There is no need to invade ๐ท๐บ, but attack mil. targets in ๐ท๐บ? Absolutely! Democratic Europe should make common cause w/ ๐บ๐ฆ and saddle up!
