    The US blankets the world with military bases, refuses to ratify over 40 international treaties and has been meddling in other countries elections for the last hundred years. If they don’t get their way they impose sanctions, organise a coups and commence other destabilisation efforts.

    Americans have been manipulated by their media for just as long and cannot tolerate any news source that is not part of the US/Nato approved propaganda bubble because it makes them feel bad. And then we see Biden banging his his pulpit and saying, “American must lead the world in the 21st century.”

    Damn right I question US imperialistic motives. The 85% of the world, that is not the US or its poodles, don’t want American leadership. You cant even lead yourselves.

      I’m not from the US, I am from a country that has “enjoyed” Russian leadership and invasions for 200 years, and is also now falling to the Russian sphere of influence.

      The thing is, the Americans are corrupt bullies, but the Russians are not one bit better themselves.

      Americans have been manipulated by their media for just as long and cannot tolerate any news source that is not part of the US/Nato approved propaganda bubble because it makes them feel bad.

      Yes, US corpo media is shit, but my dude, have you lived in a place where Russian-style media was dominant? US corpo media is patronizing and evil, Russian media is just batshit insane.

      Again, the US being shit does not mean that Russians are one bit better. My people’s experience is that the Yanks bomb your house, the Ruskies rape your daughters and take everything from you. All of them can fuck right back off. Especially the ones who try to cozy up by saying the other is worse.
