You're delusional, they are peers whether you like it or not. The US has only been dominant for about 30 years and even during those 30 years at least 20 different countries would obliterate any force the US could send at them. The US can't even take on a 3rd world country it has lost every war it joined since 2000 and almost every war it joined since WW2. Now it is also losing the economic war on top of all the actual wars, and it won't sustain it's position even 50 more years at this rate.

The world economy has always been better off without the US.

Check the Ruble in 20 years. The tables will be reversed.

Russia is China's vassal lol so many ridiculous lies.


Lmao, check the ruble is 20 years? I think you'll find it will be called either the euro or the yuan depending what latitude your on.

These sectarian and tribal conflicts already existed during Gaddafi's reign, he just kept a lid on them with an iron fist. This "peace" under Gaddafi was always a mirage and not tenable in the long run.

A prominent historical example are the Yugoslaw Wars: general Tito reigned the multiethnical powder keg of Yugoslavia for decades, he wasn't couped away by the West, he just died some day because he was old and sick. Things didn't go south right away, but as soon as the country faced the next serious crisis (the fall of the Iron Curtain and the collapse of the Soviet Union), shit hit the fan. The country broke apart along ethnic lines in a series of bloody, genocidal wars which caused devastations from which Yugoslavia's successor states still haven't fully recovered today, 30 years later.

What has happened in Libya since 2011 is very similar to Yugoslavia during the 90s.


The bolded is exactly right. It's not ideal but at least there was general peace and stability. People can work, travel, there was tourism to the country, and so on. There's a lot of places around the globe being held together by less than optimal forces. There's this fallacious argument that if we get rid of a dictator in a country, what will follow is some subsequent good and magically the place will become a democracy. It's a pipe dream.

Look at Iraq post Saddam, us starting the war and getting rid of the power structure is the direct causation of ISIS forming, which was formed by Baath party remnants. Iraq looks a lot better than Libya today because we actually micro-managed the country for a decade and pumped hundreds of billions into it to prop up a power structure. Syria would of probably been a similar story to Iraq or maybe Libya, depending on how much involvement we would had after.

Maybe Libya's peace was a mirage and not going to last but that in no way justifies us fast-tracking and destabilizing the country with it devolving into warlord politics.

This is a Russia/ Ukraine topic.
That is literally the title. You created this topic.

On a day that Russia has used dozens of missiles to strike civilian targets in Ukraine;
Why would you plug a random video about gender identity politics?

What the fuck.

Yes and the irony was not lost on me. Claiming to want to bring together differing opinions but if you happen to disagree with op expect to be reported and accused of harassment.
A laughing stock.

Did we really need an off topic youtube video plug to reaffirm what pard is meant to be about. No we didn't.

You get reported because you are toxic AF, if you could express your differing opinions without having a meltdown it wouldn't be an issue

Really throwing a hissy fit over someone posting a random YouTube video lol what is wrong with you :rofl:
