@Snake I think we're setting up problems in the ME for China to inherit
For Russia to inherit.
The problems usually date all the way back to the Ottoman empire.
it's not fair to blame the US
Problems it will happily fix through genocide.
not all of them
@Nathan James 123 China will need the Oil more than we do
True, but Russia is in a position to expand its sphere into there
@Nathan James 123
This is not about "a shining light of goodness". I'm debunking the silly assertion you made that these "allies" are in any way useful.
As they're currently doing
Russia will beat them to the ME.
@Jym UK bases in the Middle East, Indian Ocean?
how are we supposed to counter China w/o friends
UK intelligence sharing?
Russia mostly doesn't want to loose their port in Syria
Five Eyes
UK military cooperation..
which is fair enough
French Military Cooperation
or Syria
The Germans are running the NATO operation in Afghanistan right now
I know their annoying
and I know they don't pay NEARLY enough
RAF Akrotiri is of MASSIVE strategic importance
An airbase you can use...
Because of your ally.
The UK.
I don't mean to say that I like Russian presence in Syria, but I really can't blame them for it
@Nathan James 123
I didn't mention the UK. They are one of the rare cases of a European nation that carries their weight.
They're an ally
LOL
France with its colonial relationships @Jym
UK isn't very European though
@Jym When there is an African Boogaloo that needs to go down and you want it quiet you call the French
They have more influence in Africa than you do.
He didnt say all allies, he said "these allies"
UK isn't like the continentals
Tbh I'm curious to see what would happen if America just btfo'd and let russia/china do whatever it wants. China will be worse "colonizers" and genocide the terrorists when the terrorists focus on their new overlords. Unless China/Russia is able to buy off the politicians to curb the terrorists
