Maybe China should arm Indigenous independence groups in Hawai’i.
And start doing some freedom of navigation between Cuba and Florida.
I’d say that it’d be hilarious if China did that but I don’t want to die in a nuclear armageddon. US is the definition of can dish it but can’t take it.
Indeed, US is not exactly a rational actor at this point.
Dying empires rarely are.
Yeah, it’s kind of the nature of the beast. Once things start falling apart then it creates an environment of discontent that opportunists exploit, and you start getting feedback loops that accelerate the collapse.
And build a base or 20 in Mexico… joking, USA would flip their shit over that.
If the Cuban Missile Crisis is any indication
Particularly ironic because the Cuban missiles were also in response to the US doing the exact same goddamn thing in Eastern Europe.
If anything, current US govt is more unhinged and aggressive than the one which put missiles in Turkey.
John V. Walsh seems to have a boner for everything China and Russia, and a hate boner for the US. Apparently the US is even responsible for Russia’s invasion of Ukraine

What coup? Yanukovich was removed by the democratically-elected Ukrainian Parliament in a floor vote after he fled the country. Ukrainians are the ones who did all of this. What do you think the US did? I know what Russia did, starting here:
The protests were sparked by President Viktor Yanukovych’s sudden decision not to sign the European Union–Ukraine Association Agreement, instead choosing closer ties to Russia and the Eurasian Economic Union. Ukraine’s parliament had overwhelmingly approved of finalizing the Agreement with the EU, but Russia had put pressure on Ukraine to reject it.

Still waiting for a description of US involvement from someone

They cannot admit maidan was an US coup because their entire narrative of the war hinges on this.
They would get reprimanded by their superior officer for admitting it. They probably have a list on their cubicle wall of what they are and are not allowed to say.
The Nuland call where they discuss who their pick for the leader of Ukraine is, and the operations they are undertaking to put them into power.
You’re a fucking moron. Willingly ignorant, or purposefully cruel. 5 minutes of research could answer your question.
But researching doesn’t allow them to write ridiculous comments online about stuff they have no idea about
Curious they removed him when the choices he was making were beneficial for Ukraine and prevented the other countries in the west from exerting more influence on Ukraine. Almost like the west didn’t like Ukraine going their own path and decided to replace him with their puppet, the clown, Zelensky.
The choice Yanukovich made was in direct contradiction with what the democratically-elected Ukrainian Parliament had been “overwhelmingly” working toward. You think Yanukovich unilaterally scrapping that work, ignoring the will of the Ukrainian people, and reorienting toward Russia was beneficial, so how was it beneficial?
Ignoring the will of the Ukrainian people, ha! He did not step down to turn his whole country into a colony of the empire and was punished for it
So your argument is “Ha!”?
You still haven’t said anything about how the US was involved in Euromaidan
US funded the Euromaidan protests.
The larger point is that you have to be a gullible idiot or malicious NATO shill to not presume that regime change on Russia’s doorstep just happens organically without American involvement. USA’s footprint in all of Europe since WW2 has been massive and the ones who don’t see it are usually the ones too busy licking the boot.
Now go troll some other instance.

It wouldn’t have led to a massively destructive war, for a start.
but Russia had put pressure on Ukraine to reject it.
I can’t go into a Pizza Hut without being upsold garlic bread. Of course Russia pressured Ukraine to accept deals in it’s favour.
Do you think Russia was the only one putting pressure on Ukraine to sign an agreement? Forget about all the rest of it for a minute: do you really think the US and EU abstain from making any attempts to ‘encourage’ others to sign their agreements?
The NATO alliance turned prosperous Libya to rubble for the mere suggestion that it would start trading in is own currency.
(PS Don’t worry everyone, I don’t really go to pizza hut! The local pizza place has compromising photos of me and the one that pizza hut has of me shitting on a certain famous portrait just doesn’t scare me as much. Release it, I tell them, you can’t scare me into buying a salad bowl.)
Go back to watching your Fox News
Fox News is pretty pro-Russia and often anti-US foreign policy these days, you’re pretty far off base
It’s more because you defend the fascistic Ukraine with racist and nationalistic polices
Let me guess, you think Russia’s doing a great thing in Ukraine
Let me guess, you support the European fascists who let western imperialist powers in, right to the footsteps of Russia and let far-right imperialists start their biolabs in said fascist country
Russia is far right lol
I’m concerned you think Russia is still communist based on your post history…
Dude, you defend fascist Ukraine. You have no room to talk.
Not imperialistic enough for you?
Whether or not they are responsible, they are still funding it and providing arms. I don’t see any boner in the article, in my opinion it is argued well and without bias. This provocation is good for absolutely no one (apart from maybe the leading political powers and military industrial lobby). If something like this goes off, it will just mean death and destruction across the globe. To me, it seems like this is caused by the US’ exceptionalism. They feel they can put military bases wherever they want, regardless of how it affects those areas. Surely, that is not fair.
