"We are copacetic on the global South, but the West is supposed to be where the line is drawn; come on man"

Literally NATO crumbling and Europe cozying up to China instead and making China their new overlord would be the best outcome; America decides to invade a country in the global South? Europe at best says nothing, at worst literally participates. China on the other hand I don't see invading Zambia, Morocco, Peru, Mexico or Yemen any time soon, so Euros being on board with it won't be an issue that comes up.

"bUt ChiNa WiLL iNvAdE tAiWaN"

Pick:

  1. Nah

  2. Who cares

I don't believe China will invade Taiwan cause as far as they're concerned they already own Taiwan and unless America is planning on a Taiwanese missile crisis, they have no reason to military intervene in Taiwan; in the unlikely event that they do, I genuinely don't care. They can have a little invasion as a treat.

Literal millions have died in the global South and the average discussion with a Euro on why the global South SHOULD align with China, a discussion bringing up that America's murdered millions of people in the global South and overthrown their governments, is met with "Typical stupid person! These countries are dictatorships, or didn't you know!"

Very useful to learn that even in Europe the lives of people in the global South is considered expendable because we don't like their system of governance, or to put it more accurately: that they're also okay with it because the media tells us it's okay.

It's incredible how obvious this has been for years and yet european leaders still decided to go all-in against Russia and China. I'm sure some of them are CIA stooges, but I'm sure a larger amount are just smarmy libs. Either way they're all interested in being a Big Fish in their part of the european pond for years to come, and that would require a somewhat cogent analysis.
But instead we go along with war in Ukraine, russian sanctions, chinese sanctions, blowing up Nordstream and I don't know what else.
