That’s what it’s looking like, if things escalate with Iran, the US will have to make some pact with Russia.

Reminder that Argentina literally went to WAR with a NATO nation just 40 years ago.

Let me explain the “rules based world order” to you tiny brained turd worlders!

⚪️ = Good

🟡 = Okay but only if they’re a semi-colony like Japan or “South Korea”.

🟤 [Anything not white] = Bad

China is playing a different game, a long game.

Apparently it’s over 100, now how many will get through Jordan and Israel’s defenses, is unknowable right now.

China is exploiting capitalism’s greatest weakness, the desire for profit is infinite and has no restraints.

Milei in Argentina is also saying perhaps he was too harsh with China as well.

China has one enormous weakness it can not yet be bold in the ways Russia is. Oil/Petrol.

The PRC is not oil-rich in the same way Russia and the US are, so they import most of their oil via tankers from West Asia/North Africa (commonly known as the Middle East) and there are two potential chokepoints, the Straight of Hormuz in Djibouti (probably RIGHT NOW the biggest weak point, so much that both China and the US have military bases there that are practically in front of each other) and the South China Sea, which contains a bunch of faithful bootlicking nations such as Singapore and Australia.

China is working on several pipeline projects, but I am certain that the US is doing everything possible to stop it.

I have bros who are reds in Venezuela, and they keep complaining that the government won’t take the step from non-Imperial Core “Marea Rosada” socdem into actual socialism because they’re terrified of being invaded and wrecked, Cuba is great but the material reality is that they simply do not have the funds to truly protect anyone but themselves. Vietnam is geographically blessed that they can have the space to get back onto the road of socialism after their stumbling in 1994 and 2001 having to “restructure their economy” (give in to liberalism) due to taking out loans with the IMF. Their future seems bright if they can forge a particularly strong relationship with the PRC. I’m sure they can crush the Yankee war machine a second time, but I understand 1000% why they’re traumatized.

The US had the same cope in Afghanistan, every other week it would seem they killed a high-profile leader, and it never fucking mattered. Because a “terrorist” is just someone pissed off enough to use violence, you can’t squash them like that.

The US has tried and failed for decades, you can’t defeat a tactic by just fighting them like a traditional army. The US sunk 20 years, $10 trillion USD, and oceans of blood into Afghanistan and achieved nothing. You also can’t force a people to “turn in the baddies for peace” by just flattening them like the US did in Korea and Vietnam… all it does is make the population hate you more and side with the side that fights them.

It’s like Israel are Klingons or something that cannot visualize any solutions but violence and war.

The “South Korean” state is an American puppet government, and constantly causing all the trouble. During the famines in the 90s, the DPRK wanted, as an act of mercy to hand over the handful of foreign refugees in their nation given that they weren’t sure they could guarantee they be fed and Seoul refused because they knew what good headlines it would be if an America/European refugee in the DPRK starved to death even though the West themselves treat their refugees like garbage.

If anything Russia is testing DPRK’s weapons against American/NATO tactics and weapons of war. The DPRK is dedicated to peace above all else and would much rather spend their meager resources on feeding, housing and giving leisure and comfort to the Korean workers. The Korean People’s Armed Forces are 100% dedicated to just two objectives.

Objective 1. Self defense against the US, Japan and any other Western nation (I don’t care if Japan is ethnically East Asian, they’re Western at this point) and any other threat to their homeland.

Objective 2. The defense from takeover by the puppet regime in the fictitious “South Korea” and when the time is right, the liberation of all of Korea, and to move the historical capital of the Unified People’s Republic of Korea from Pyongyang to its proper home to Seoul (or Kim Il Sung City).

The DPRK is one of the few nations on earth with a military of their size that has ZERO interest in conquering even the tiniest speck of dust outside of their nation, especially since the express purpose of jucheism is communism in one nation with the goal of stage 3, the elimination of Korean nationalism (even if by force) and borders to join the international community in the worldwide international worker’s state. Even if this process will have to be over a span of centuries.

I imagine any peace deal will reach Ukraine to be neutral and at this point have to cede some land.

Looks like they’re attempting to soft-land a truce. Or am I being too optimistic?

All this bloodshed and misery and the US will still end up losing the fight. Russia had a reasonable demand to not have NATO on its doorstep. Finland and Sweden (until just recently) were examples of the fact that Russia isn’t willing to attack a neutral nation.

That’s it, at the beginning of the war, Blinken could’ve just offered Ukraine’s neutrality (and possibly guaranteed independent protections for Donetsk and Luhansk) in exchange for Russia paying reparations. That would’ve been reasonable, but the US doesn’t do anything reasonable.

The “totally flatten them” tactic didn’t work in Korea, didn’t work in Vietnam, why would it work now?

How is it that they seem to be acting in such a way that Russia not only has nukes but the largest stockpile in the world.

I think you’re coming off as a Russoboo and you need to chill a bit. But yes, the basis of all of your points are sound and your argument is largely correct.

It was also a bit of an issue in the occupied puppet state of “South Korea”, where most people are NOT happy with their capitalist hellscape.
