I don't know, I don't think it's very good to be automatically dismissive of information purely on the basis of it coming from Western sources either, doing so is setting yourself up for a form of manipulation it's own. What you got to do regardless of the source is analyze the situation and decide for yourself what makes logical sense. Between going nuclear and capitulating to the West by doing nothing, conventionally armed ICBM strikes seem like a pretty a sensible retaliatory move on Russia's part if you ask me.
"It's just for fun bro. It's not like we know that the Empire's design in Star Wars was explicitly based off the Axis powers, and that we are subtly attempting to normalize pro-fascist sentiment and aesthetics under the guise of fandom for a fictional entity."
Mad respect to for Niger, Mali and Burkina Faso for resisting colonialism. All these nations demonstrate actually lifting yourself up by the bootstraps.
The US now added Japan to it's currency manipulation watchlist, lol.
Honestly some really solid stuff happening as off late. End of petrodollar, Thailand and Malaysia want to join BRICS, DPRK and Russia entering a de-facto military alliance, Vietnam mending ties with China and strengthening them Russia.
Lol, sobbing over losing influence to Russia despite Russia having nowhere near the soft power the collective West has. The West has overwhelming dominance over global media and billions more it can afford to through towards propaganda and bribery, yet Africans still chooses Russia.
Chad is also trying now too.
Imagine the US pushing Europe into war with Russia and then at the last second is like nah, you got this, keep buying our overpriced hardware and you'll be fine.
Nazis: Marxism is bad because it's jewish.
Liberals: Marxism is bad because it hates jews.
Marxists: Bruh.
Perhaps so, but now Russia no longer has McDonald's or Pizza Hut.
Now we will get to see to happens when a PCM redditor becomes the leader of a country, unfortunately.
To be fair, it wasn't like racism suddenly became a thing in Japan once they became a US vassal.
