not sure either way, but ANYTHING was perferable to the dickhead that took pleasure in risking a conflict and poking the Russian Bear every chance he could and firing on his own people

No I think a lot of Europe would be better in Russia's sphere
Not all
yeah russia expanding is fine
kiev HATES russia; always has. They treated those in Crimea like red-headed step children
But some major things would be fixed
I think Russia would be better in Europe's sphere
I think America would be better if we cut our sphere down to size
for kiev it was about land. for those in the east, it was about not being the 'bitch of the west'
i can see why they wanted to leave. i cannot see why they would want to stay like Kiev suggested they did
Putin is ex-KGB and a russian nationalist. He'd kill for his country and maybe even to stay in power. And what politican in the US wouldn't do the EXACT same thing?
Well to be fair, I think most wouldn't
I wish they would
Kill to stay in power?
No I mean actually take action for the country
Not just whine
Or take action for other countries
Well the world was better when the US was the hegemon
when?
Nah I mean fuck most of the other countries let's get pre world war America back, no intervention, strong trade relationships, will only go to war for very close allies like the UK or for actual US interests
Well the thing is, that's basically surrendering the whole rest of the world to be China's hegemon
is the us not still the world hegemon? or are we simply saying it isn't because their grip on the world is not as strong as it was immediately following the death of their rival geopolitical bloc?
death?
yes
the eastern bloc died
the soviet empire
lol, it morphed, not died
US needs to oppose China now or China will "peacefully rise" by gobbling up all of asia and africa and bully europe around, and ultimately start a war with US
it morphed into russo-china
it did die what exists now is just a product of russia reasserting itself
During Trumps WH summit where Tim was at, the media was outside stuck and bitching at everything they could hear.
OH THE SALT

dab
and funnily despite the fact that russia is quite a bit weaker than the ussr they're managing to expand
And we care for the rest of the world why? Trade ties would be enough to keep a lot of the allies, and we could still oppose China without being super involved
Cut trade ties
Watch China fall
It helps the US if the world likes the US
