Edit: I find it insane that American imperialists don’t realise that at some point in this might makes right world people won’t be bound to them, if countries are forced to choose between various authoritarian regimes what is it that makes the United States stand out from the rest of them? At least during the Cold War the semblance of freedom was required to win an ideological war. In a world where all pretence of the United States being a more responsible hegemony and free place is dropped for its allies as well what makes these people think people will tow the line?
The fact that the Biden administration spent years trying to gaslight every one about how important winning the Ukraine war was for global stability and the rules based international order, just to stick their thumbs up their asses when their dictator pulls shit like this is beyond me.
Their country is in a constitutional crisis and most people are just shrugging.
For someone who used the preceding paragraph to position themselves against imperialism and authoritarian regimes, that is a very strange statement to make. Ukraine was the one responsible for ringing the alarm bells. If the US deemed Ukraine's total military victory as being beneficial to them, they could've made that happen single-handedly and in very short order, no "gaslighting" required. Instead they chose the endless war-of-attrition + appeasement approach and sent some aid while posturing and making promises. They were terrified of "escalation" and ended up not doing anything. The countries that cared about the war didn't have a lot to send, and the countries that had a lot to send didn't care about the war that much. Now the side that's not scared of escalation is using all that military might to airlift heads of state of sovereign nations.

Is that Biden admin in the room with us right now? The Americans gave the current administration a blank cheque to do anything they want, the not-far-right party's federal role right now had been reduced to looking angry/concerned in hopes that maybe a future election could let them have some power. Unless you seriously expected Biden et al. to storm the White House and coup their current administration, they can't really do anything anymore - and every day, their odds get slimmer as the entire country is being reshaped around them.
I dont support Russia. lol the Biden admin shot its self in the foot so many times first by refusing to pick up the phone to stop a genocide then Biden chose to run even though he was way to old. Kamala also refused to say anything about Gaza it lost her the election. I worked for those assholes for free fuck them, and any one who still sits around defending the United States as if it’s some beacon of democracy is a joke. That shitty government has me on a watch list for the crime of calling out the band of criminals and fascists that run that country.
The war could of been prevented Ukraine was offered a deal where they could of been neutral and kept their freedom Borris Johnson was sent my Victoria Neuland to scuttle that deal. Americans love war and they love boosting their military industrial complex just check how well their stocks have been doing recently. They were panicking when Afghanistan ended they needed a new conflict. Nobody in the US government gives a shit about the lives of the innocent civilians that they kill as long as it furthers their psychotic ends. I focus my ire on the United States mainly because they’re the country that is meant to hold up the international order, they’ve shown time and time again that they’ll ignore it.
