It'll be funny if the US gets dragged in yet another middle east conflict just as they're preparing for a pacific one lol. Should give the PLA more breathing room.

It’s more likely the PLA will be ‘hold on a minute, where do you think you’re going? I’m not done with you yet!’

I would not be surprised if certain tensions started to boil over in Asia now. The Philippines have already volunteered themselves for the PLA to apply pressure any time they want.

The play is to keep America pinned everywhere so it cannot commit anywhere. Getting America trapped in a war in the ME only works for China if it wants to take Taiwan back during the course of that war. Otherwise America would have been able to successfully pick off one opponent to allow it pull resources back to better focus on China and Russia in the longer term.

I wonder how the weight losing program Pompeo is on right now. Because he must’ve lost a lot of weight right now but part of it might involve some important brain mass as well given that anyone idiot could’ve told him that well backstabbing others is a very dumb idea

Pompeo’s sentiment is that of the white supremacists in the anglosphere who want Russia to forget its own national interests and subaltern themselves as another “huwhite” country in service to white Anglo chauvinism.

You may not believe this, but most Russians identify as both A) European and B) Christian. Their awkward current position in the Western system is mostly just a function of their size and their unwillingness to subordinate themselves. If you read actual Russian nationalists, they have deep skepticism about BRICS and the like. Dugin is the outlier among them.

Putin's attitudes on this is shaped by his cosmopolitan Soviet past where the communists would take up every 3rd world struggle in order to stick it to the West. Most young Russians don't give a hoot what's happening in the global south nor do they identify themselves as part of it.

There's a lot of bad blood right now between the West and Russia and public attitudes reflect that fact. However, if the hostilities die down and there's some rapproachment (big ifs) then I don't see how Russia will stay in the "third worldist" camp for long.

Too late, they are already knee deep, they have committed and utilized Naval assets already.

This is one of those situations where someone posting the China wins by doing nothing memes is appropriate.

as I mentioned earlier, Pompeo’s sentiment is that of the white supremacists in the anglosphere who want Russia to forget its own national interests and subaltern themselves as another “huwhite” country in service to white Anglo chauvinism. Former neutral and friendly countries like Finland have sadly been led down this path., judging by how Finland voted with the anglos and Nordics with the U.S. blood libel myth of the Uighur genocide at the human rights UN convention and ciba along with 80 other nations had to put forth a motion to counteract this. Finland, I am very disappointed in you.

Translation of Pompeo's statement: Russia will surely rather be with the West as our dog again, than to be China's brother. All we have to do is stop the Ukraine War. After that, Russia will wag its tail again, and will come over to our whistle.

LoL! Pompeo is being interviewed by those 2 notorious Russian pranksters. The Russians are already treating him like a joke.

Everyone talks how cold and extreme Putin is. Actually he's only a moderate in Russia. Actually right-wingers and nationalists think he is too soft.

East Asians are particularly divided as a cultural group, in this regard. The distance between Slavs and other Europeans is probably the same as between Chinese and Koreans / Japanese, but the latter two groups are vehemently opposed to being associated with Chinese and would rather go down in flames with the West.

We shall not even mention the Taiwanese.

Yes much of this is also due to bad blood from World War 2 & divide & conquer tactics from the West. But the fact is there is almost zero feelings of “common identity” between East Asian nations that’d require the West to fear a unified East Asia. The idea of Japan or South Korea ever threatening to leave the US sphere for China’s based on shared heritage is so absurd that US strategists basically take them for granted, it’s comically sad to see.

The irony is that in terms of culture and blood, the Chinese has more in common with Tibetans than Japanese and Koreans.

People in East Asia generally trust in progress and stability, they will like anyone who can provide it, and the sentiments change very fast.

Remember most of Asia (especially the south) collaborated willingly with Imperial Japan, they don't fight to the death. Only Chinese and Japanese do. The Japanese ethnicity is like one of the many northeast Asian fellow ethnicities that fought on until they were integrated into the Han ethnicity. While SEA are servile to anyone who storms in and shows they have guns.

Asian unification is imho much closer than most people think. In a crisis where they have to choose China or US, they have no choice but to bend to China, and once they do it politically, there's very little culturally holding them apart.
