Russia hasn't mobilised most of their military and I have no doubt they could turn Kiev into Grozny 2.0 if they were willing. It took Russia almost a year to start targeting electrical infrastructure.

Putin is weak and scared of overcommitting (which may or may not be reasonable).

The US, which saw Chinese spies breach the US tech supply chain in 2018

Wasn't this story denied by just about everyone when it came?

You're poor because you're one or two crippling events away from poverty, you're dumb because you're choosing to be.

I've been to the US and the level of poverty is horrific. Meanwhile China has lifted hundreds of millions out of poverty.

The idea of "brainwashing" came from returned American POWs who learned that they were getting a shitty deal from American capitalists who profiteered while the soldiers were firebombing Asia, so no, I don't think you're brainwashed. I think you're a classic middle-class westerner attacking the poor because you see yourself as part of the actual wealthy class even if you're not. You might have to examine why you're not on $7 an hour, or if you were born unlucky, $2 a day.

Finally we see the true LIB emerge - eugenicist takes on how poor people shouldn't have children, and then how their children (who didn't actually consent to be born) should be punished for that

Cool viewpoints child starver

Because the US is one of the best examples of your desire to see the children of poor and unemployed people starve?

"G-g-g-get a grip, I don't like my shitty views being challenged and I can't actually defend them"

Mate if you're going to post dumb shit you probably should have a better response than that.

I'm assuming you're not actually very dedicated to the idea of starving children, that's just something you've heard and parroted because your own economic status is precarious

Americans and projection, name a better duo.

China has a no first nuclear use policy, and the USSR/Russia used to but dropped it down to threats to territorial integrity.

The United States has refused to adopt a no first use policy and says that it "reserves the right to use" nuclear weapons first in the case of conflict.

Both NATO and a number of its member states have repeatedly rejected calls for adopting a NFU policy, as during the lifetime of the Soviet Union a pre-emptive nuclear strike was commonly argued as a key option to afford NATO a credible nuclear deterrent, compensating for the overwhelming conventional weapon superiority enjoyed by the Soviet Army in Eurasia.

The US has also repeatedly planned for first strikes and escalated tensions: https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2001/10/jfks-first-strike-plan/376432/

not as humane

It's really hard to find someone worst? Look at what they did to Libya or are doing to Ukraine

Children should starve because their parents don't want to be abused for $7 an hour, top post mate

Australia is allowing America to establish a command center in Darwin, with the intent of conducting aggressive military operations in the region.WSWS

As the article notes, Darwin already has a reported 2,500 US soldiers, and the US Air Force has been rotating B2 strategic bombers throughout the country for the last year or two.

For the map nerds, Darwin is about 2,000km south of the Philippines, or the same distance between Cairo and Kiev, and a total of 4000 km / 2500 miles from China.
