    Also, if you didn’t know, Ukraine has warned that China is providing weapons to Russia

    And as of yesterday, Russia’s highest court declared the Taliban, no longer a terrorist organization. Not surprising since Putin has declared the Taliban a trusted ally and began pursuing an allegence last year when the U.S. and Europe became more involved defending Ukraine

    So while Russia is partnering with North Korea, China, the Taliban, and Iran, we are also removing the agency that is supposed to prevent disinformation from these places from targeting Americans.

    Meanwhile America’s President is telling us that Ukraine was actually the aggressor against Russia the whole time, and as of yesterday Hegseth is telling Europe they need to figure out their own defense.

    We’re also removing cybersecurity protections against Russia and China and making our own infrastructure vulnerable to an attack while distancing ourselves from our allies. If we leave NATO, that means we lose any expectation of protection from our allies. If America is attacked by any of our former enemies that we suddenly are pretending are our friends, they could also easily target our water and electricity grids, leaving us completely at their mercy.

    If you can’t see how bad this is, the only explanation is that you must support it.

      And USA is tariffing everyone. But China the hardest. Forcing all nations to have to trade heavily with China just to survive now. This trade war is USA’s greatest gift to Xi ever.

      I don’t have proof, but I’m pretty sure China and Russia bought the current US government. It’s the only thing that makes sense. And the heavy China tariffs are here just to put the nail in the US coffin while convincing idiots to cheer China bad.

        Suddenly makes a LOT of sense that it just came out that China is arming Russia, considering anybody with more than one braincell knows that Trump is a Russian asset.

          I think differently actually. And unfortunately, I’m not sure it’s going to work out for Zelensky, but I don’t blame him for trying.

          So China is not directly supplying weapons. Zelensky implied as much so far. What he’s saying is China is supplying gun powder and artillery shells. With the obvious implication that Russia is filling the shells with the gun powder and making them live. This had probably been happening the whole time. This is the complaints about dual use.

          So why now? Well, it’s a good time to get China riled up so they’ll comment. Zelensky needs weapons, even if China doesn’t stop selling to Russia, selling to Ukraine as well would be good. In which case Zelensky can turn around and say then come talk to us, if your neutral you’ll let us buy too. Which might have been a good plan if USA wasn’t completely fucking insane and keeping China from even talking because they got other shit to deal with.

            I was more referring to Putin being owed a favor for manipulating a certain orange idiot into actions that are likely to favor China. But I don’t really see anything wrong with your analysis of Zelensky’s possible motivations.

        I wrote a summary above, but the missing link is the Heritage Foundation, and Idk if bought or partnered with is the better way to put it.
