The Ukraine War created the conditions for the Russia-China alliance in the first place. The sanctions and economic isolation imposed by the west gave Russia no other choice. The expansion of BRICS and its movement to displace the almighty dollar as the world's reserve currency also resulted from said sanctions. The Israeli War in Gaza added Iran to the mix and N. Korea recently joined the fray. This could all have been avoided had the western liberal democratic world order not insisted on expanding NATO to Russia's borders and, in so doing, backed it into a corner geopolitically. This is why the architect of the Cold War Containment policy, George F. Kennan, vehemently criticized NATO enlargement. European nations would likely not be experiencing the economic problems and political upheavals today had they still been able to buy cheap Russian energy, and not throwing billions to Ukraine so they can fight not to lose - and failing.
Well, USA election rule is not by popular decision. The difference between the two is huge 312 - 226 is too huge to ignore. With senate and house being red, that's where power is being decided. Even if Harris won popular vote, it just mean nothing as that's not the rule of the games.
It's pure fantasy. Putin stated his conditions for even starting negotiations on the basis of Istanbul quite clearly. 1. Full Ukrainian withdrawal from the regions that are included in Russian constitution; 2. Recognition and acceptance from Ukraine that these regions are Russian; 3. Acceptance of Ukraine's neutral status. Istanbul also included restrictions on Ukrainian army armaments and a number of personal. Russians categorically rejected any freeze of the conflict Korea-style. These conditions can get only tougher by the time. Even Trump wouldn't be able to accept these conditions explicitly without a coup attempt against him, but he could do it implicitly by cutting Ukraine's sustenance and turning the page.
More and more the main news I wanna know is what’s the price of Bitcoin, what’s the price of MicroStrategy Stock, the only stock I own. How many Bitcoin does MicroStrategy own? I divide the value of my one Stock by the Price of Bitcoin, watching that percentage creep up. Looking forward to the day that percentage exceeds 100%. Imagine how the increase will 🚀
Whatever happens , happens , and since the American public is addicted to drama , it will be 4 years of great theatre and entertainment , buckle up for a strange ride
Correct, it will not be boring. Terrifying is never boring. Chamberlain acquiesced to Hitler thinking he achieved peace in our time. All he did was embolden Hitler, who then invaded Poland and England was pulled into war it was not really ready for. In similar fashion, I can see Trump stumbling into a situation thinking he is doing the right thing, becoming frustrated and confused, verbally acting out his frustration, tensions increase and then an American ship encounters Russian or Chinese ship, somebody misinterprets the action of another, a middle or torpedo is launched and…WWIII. Interesting? No, terrifying.
President Musk was communicating with Putin before Trump ever even thought of it.
Whatever he does will be a circus 🤡
The last 4 years has been a woke nightmare. Trump ❤
Woke will definitely be your last problem from now on...@@64kimmyjo
Don't count on the US after Jan 20, we're fucked here too, we are going to be a failed nation soon...sorry world 😐

Thank you Ian for the video.
Divorce the US at least for 4 years or maybe more
"It won't be boring" that is quite likely.
His cabinet picks smell like a...wind of change?

I wish the media would quit using the term "decisively won" Trump got 50% vs 48.4% for Harris .
Of the popular vote.

A loop of talking points.

Typical NATO talking points. Russia is not expansionist and would not have invaded had Ukraine pledged neutrality by not joining NATO.
With luck Trump will be "gone" before the inauguration.
