France is absolutely imperialist on its own, the other EU powers are at least imperialist to the extent that they are and were directly involved in US imperialist wars. China is a different case, theoretically there is a possible future were china is the first post imperialist power. I think it’s much more likely though, that at some point they will use either military coercion, start militarily supporting „rebels“, or at some point do direct military intervention, to protect their investments abroad, the ones that they are currently building out.

Call me a cynic, but I think if China ever becomes the world hegemon, they will behave as such.

Russia, China, the US, the EU are imperial entities with imperial interests. None of them and non of their propaganda outlets care about the Ukrainian people.

Given that, it’s perfectly realistic that the US willingly engineered a situation where conflict was inevitable.

If you think the US wanted Ukraine in NATO for the good of the Ukrainian people, you’re delusional.

If you think the US invested millions in pro western „news outlets“ in Ukraine for the good of the Ukrainian peoples, you’re delusional.

Just as delusional as those that think Russia invaded Ukraine to liberate its people.

The only reason the western media “cares” about the wellbeing of the Iranian population is as a casus belli to brutalize them more.

The best the west can do for the Iranian people is to leave them alone. Because if you want to know what a “liberated” Iran looks like, have some fun looking into what happened with Libya after they were “liberated”.

There are two acceptable conditions for a country in the global south: either a dictatorship under a pliable US-friendly regime, or state collapse. Plan A failed, so guess what’s on the menu if Iran loses this one.

I’m wondering what their play is. obviously they are aware this ain’t happening, given you can solve each physics and energy contradiction, paying 10.000 times more for compute is gonna have a hard time on the free market.

but just like putting all cars in tunnels underground or the hypertube were cynical distraction strategies against public transport, this has to have an ulterior motive as well. I just have a hard time imagining what…

we should shoot this into space as a practical joke on aliens; have fun decivering this

then again will they even notice the difference with whatever we have sent up there before

how much nicer the world would have been if after 9/11 the us gov just said „the twin towers were selected for a surprise demolition, a new one will be built shortly. on an unrelated note, 3000 people unfortunately died of a car crash in ny this morning.“ and then didn’t start a war that directly and indirectly killed 4.5 million people.

can you imagine what a truly progressive president could do. actually, no need to imagine, FDR did this on a federal level and created a new deal majority in the house that lasted until Reagan. this is also why the democrats will maintain an iron hold on the primary process, they literally risk their political future with a progressive president.

Yes, to the people that created the distinction based on “cultural” reasons, India, the middle east, Japan, the Urals, Mongolia and China have much more in common with each other than Europa has with any of them.
