Oh, it’s actually far far worse than that. There have always been powerful factions within Russian who have always been pathetically pro-western. Basically their version of Hanjian who were desperate to be ‘accepted’ into the white master race club by the Anglos. Hence all the Russian soul belonging to Europe BS.

These factions were powerful, distributed and entrenched. So much so even Putin couldn’t do too much against them without risking serious internal upheaval and maybe even open conflict and civil war. Especially since these oligarchs parked the lion share of their assets abroad, where Putin couldn’t reach it, and with those stashed away trillions, even if Putin moved against them and wiped their influence out in all of Russia, they will always have a strong base to infiltrate back from.

But thanks to the idiocy of the west, these factions have been all but eradicated both domestically and abroad.

In Europe and America, much, if not most of the wealth frozen and seized by western authorities belonged to these pro-western Russian oligarchs, all but wiping out their nest egg power base abroad.

In Russia, the heavy handed propaganda war by the west was a true awakening movement for the overwhelmingly majority of Russian youth who were previously too naive and inexperienced in life to fall for wester propaganda. The die hards who are beyond redemption are now easily isolated and their capture and prosecution no longer creates martyrs as overwhelming public sentiment is not to cheer for the capture of traitors, instead it just just makes more penal legionaries for the western front.

The west has done more to help Putin awaken and unify Russia and fundamentally shift its allegiance eastwards than Putin could have ever managed by himself.

This is the biggest and most spectacular needless own goal yet by the Anglos. Ukrainian was absolutely a war of choice by the Anglos. All they had to do was leave it alone and it would have stayed the same for another hundred years as a buffer against Russia that could be turned into a battlefront at almost any time. But the west just couldn’t help themselves. They cannot leave potential rivals alone, even if they are weakened and no longer interested in being rivals to the west. Their continued existence is too much for the west to tolerate and they will always seek to utterly destroy or subjugate anything they don’t totally dominate.

It's what you call a forced mistake, induced by pro-Russia Russians and China.

Easily one of the best trades in the 21st century. I recieve: Russia with all its military and resources (+ Ukraine). You recieve: inflation and 300 billion in Russian traitor assets that you owned to begin with.

I just checked tradingeconomics and it appears Vietnam has already surpassed Philippines in both nominal and per capita GDP. I remember back when Vietnam GDP was just a fraction of the Philippines when they joined ASEAN.

Really sad for the Philippines.

Interesting that about 90% of Russian energy exports go to China and India. Western attempts to limit their energy export and revenue is simply futile. China will give them the diplomatic language of no and the Indians will shove a middle finger if they tried to strong arm them.

• Retired US Navy Adm. James Stavridis says China isn't ready to fight the US in the next 10 years.
• "If we ended up in a war with China, it wouldn't be just the US and China," Stavridis said.
• Stavridis said US allies such as Japan and South Korea would come to their aid if war breaks out.

China wouldn't be able to fight the US if war were to break out within the next decade, said a former NATO supreme allied commander.

"China, in my estimation, will not be ready to take on the US in a very mature way for about 10 years," retired US Navy Adm.

In 2021, Stavridis co-authored a novel titled "

But this, Stavridis argues, would be inconsequential given the strength of US military alliances.

"If we ended up in a war with China, it wouldn't be just the US and China. We have treaty allies who are sworn to come and be a part of a military campaign like that. That's Japan, South Korea, the Philippines, Australia, New Zealand," Stavridis said.

"So that's a lot of firepower when you kind of put it all together," he continued.

Stavridis told Medved that such deterrence would give the US "a bit of a grace period" to strengthen its military further while easing bilateral tensions through diplomacy.

Explains now why the Anglo press were waxing lyrical about “state backed piracy” and “privateers” ever since the Yinhe incident;

Filipino elites evidently would prefer to build and live in a world where Asians are forever slaves to white westerners. This state of affairs is a natural result of their efforts.

I know y'all are laughing cus it sounds like a fat idiot blowing smoke up his own ass but what I read was that this retired US Admiral says that in just short 10 year period, China's military will be too much for America to handle, even in the most ideal imaginative situation of all of its puppets going in full support without self-preservation. That's a big endorsement and encouragement. To say that again, he is of the belief that now, America, the country that's supposed to be the world's strongest, can hold China off... if it had 12 other countries helping it - but he has no confidence that even with a busload of goons, the US can pull that off 10 years into the future.

And he's not even factoring in that 10 years later, with Ukraine's stamina and NATO's support likely completely depleted and in surrender, big ol' Russia might be ready for some payback. All that freshly ramped up military production and war fervor and no Ukraine to take it out on anymore... what is this newly woken bear going to gnaw on?

The author is puffing up some imperial NATO delusion that nobody is really going to agree with. Your technology, trade, and financial policies will be dictated within the imperial NATO senate.

So this fool is saying that in a one on one fight, the USA will lose unless they have many nations to help them like in Ukraine just now but in such a scenario that this happens, wouldn’t that mean the Russia will ultimately get involved if China is going to lose on the off chance that this idiots fantasy does occur (because they will be next as per Lindsay Graham). Also given that it basically requires billions of dollars to send 2 carriers to the Middle East and if they do plan to fight China in the pacific, the cost of that endeavour would bankrupt the USA in almost a few days due to mobilisation and material cost requires to fight such a war, especially with there weapon stockpile in a bind due to the two wars that is being fought right now. In also honesty, the USA are a bunch of pussies if they need allies to fight any one nation like seriously, they literally lost their balls whether figuratively or literally (don’t ask how)
