I think US threatened to sanction UK, Canada, Australia, France etc... if they recognized the State of Palestine as an official country. They still did it anyways, so I think we are beginning to see a slow shift. American leverage has it's limits.
The developing world is where the American devilry operates. Fellow NATO members can do whatever they like but in the end they're pretty aligned in their [hegemonic] vision. Moreover, these countries who recognized Palestine maintain that stance which plays right into Israeli hands - demilitarize Gaza / no Hamas / no standing retinue for Palestine = no resistance to illegal Israeli settlements (slow death).
But the developing world is where US does regime change, warfare, political interference, etc. Nobody wants that, and most simply cannot counter it.
The UK literally has this thing called house of lords in parliament where it's people are appointed or inherit a position. Not elected. In 2025 no less!
There are people who still have titles like Baron, Earl or Marquis. Maybe soon we will go back to saying yes my leige like the old days.
Even China doesn't have such outdated crap anymore.
There is also the
City of London (not to be confused with London, England) where the Lord Mayor is elected by corporations, mainly the big banks and financial enterprises. What could go wrong? It is the financial district of UK and hub of global money laundering and corruption; the head of the snake which branches into global offshore "tax havens" such as the Isle of Mann, Cyprus, Cayman Islands, etc. Also where the colonial "merchants" gathered.
Russia has offered the Su-57 to Turkey. And they have offered the 177S engine to India and China. I think Turkey would get the Al-41 if they asked for it.
Unlike India, Turkey might actually be able to develop it's own engine, even if it isn't top of it's class. KAAN is closer to reality than Tejas - the latter project began 30 years earlier than the former - that alone proves the massive difference between the two country's capabilities. They've been assembling and overhauling GE engines for 40+ years, and as of recently, developed the capability to domestically manufacture some core components which were previously supplied by US.
This is what happens when your entire culture revolves around propaganda and making sure your version of history should be the global truth (Ehem Issac Newton used Al-Khwarizmi book and other islamic mathematics to prove his theories and the Europeans got the idea a university from the Arabs hence why Oxford was modeled on University of al-Qarawiyyin aka the oldest university in the world)
Ibn Sina explained the Big Bang and Entropy 800-900 years before anybody in the West got a hold of it. Al-Haytham devised the scientific method 600 years before Francis Bacon. Al-Shatir developed the geometric models for planetary motion centuries before they were falsely attributed to Copernicus.
The original Western civilization was overrun and replaced by Germanic barbarians (Vandals, Goths, Vikings, Ingles, Saxons, Normans, and the Eurasian Khazar, Scythians) who wear the cloak of civilization while appropriating everything developed by actual civilizations. It's only recently that Western academics have begun to question their history, finding such examples as mentioned above. Looking into it more deeply, they'll no doubt find an unending magnitude of development appropriated from all the actual historical civilizations.
