      No, the meme is about countries have all been used as tools of US foreign policy then ditched by them and left for dead.

        To be fair, they also greatly helped with keeping the US military sharp.

      Because brown people are NPC’s, to the average westerners. They don’t really matter, unless its to make some stupid corporation more money. Tho looking at Europe and America, you’re clearly entering you’re end of hegemony moment. Time to learn mandarin and refine my hindi

    I’m glad the EU seems to be stepping up to bat, at least. Can’t say how well that’s going to work out in the long term, though.

        These delusions are what keep you from choosing the correct course of action in your political life.

        As long as you refuse to see reality simply because you dislike it, you’re gonna keep fighting shadows while your enemy robs you of everything.

            Delusion is seeing Russia achieving their war goals (not the stupid fever dreams libs conjured up, but the stated war goals that serious analysts acknowledge), Ukraine near a complete state of collapse, their western sponsor squeezing them for ransom like we always said would happen, while Russia’s economy became the 4th largest in the world in terms of GDP adjusted for PPP during the course of the war, and then declare: “no, you see! This is a defeat in every way that counts”.

            Terminally childish.
