Born in the 90s and "we're basically reliving the 70s", what a time to be alive! Nixon had the Watergate situation compared to which everything Trump did so far appears rather insignificant.

Is it really a clear pushback against the West and it's degeneration? From what I can tell, these unaffiliated countries just want to minimize the economic impact on themselves, and I can't blame them, particularly after covid. In the case of India, they also have a decades-long military cooperation with Russia, their defense hinges on supplies and technology transfer from Russia. These countries are clearly saying "this is your war, leave us alone", so it is pushback against the West's economic war and the sanctions - but I wouldn't call it pushback against the West itself.


Do you have any sources for this claim that they are cheering for Russia?

I don't blame the shit hole countries for doing what's best for them. They are doing what they can to survive. We've already hit Russia where it hurts because a bunch of jungle people trading with Russia is inconsequential compared to what we do. We're united for the moment and that's all that matters.

Does posting delusional nonsense ever get old for you? The reality is that the US is propped up entirely because of the infinite money printer and the dollar scam. The moment that collapses, is the moment that the old empire dies just like Rome

We are in a much more vulnerable position than Russia ironically

Trade with Latin America or Africa was rather insignificant for Russia, and it was expected that China would side with them. It is significant and non-trivial, however, that India and Opec have their back. This takes a lot of the bite out of our efforts to economically and politically isolate them.

Russian propaganda has been hammering Western societies and governments for their shortcomings, and there are plenty. This is clearly an attempt at undermining trust and support for Western mainstream parties/governments/politics. The big fallacy they fell for was to assume that everyone who's receptive to these attacks and turned on their own government would automatically side with Russia in this conflict.

The West being weak, corrupt, woke or whatever else does not imply that Russia is strong, less corrupt or offering a more attractive societal model. And if there's a country that's in no position to blast others for the shady dealings of their elites, it is Russia.
