A lot of analysts talk about a social contract between the corrupt leadership and common people. That as long as the corrupt regime provides prosperity, the people is OK with not meddling in politics.
The same analysts say that Putin has broken that contract with this war, and Russia has had successful revolutions at least 2 times before, turning over the Tzar and later turning over the communist regime. So the people are not unfamiliar with revolutions.
Wow thanks, I didn't remember that.
I just calculated the average to 870, so it's definitely a lot above average.
My calculation is 4 years and 1½ month = 1505 days with 1310110 casualties = 870 casualties per day. Not exact but should be close enough with an error margin of 2 or 3 at most.
1440p 🤔
I don't recall the number has ever been as high as this. It's insane the Russians don't get rid of Putin, and stop this madness.
No it was nothing of the kind. He claimed Ukrainians were basically Russian, that is not about Russian minorities.
China’s leader Xi Jinping declared people on both sides of the Taiwan Strait are Chinese and want peace.
Isn't that pretty much what Putin said about Ukraine before invading?
Even in France there's a huge difference between the extreme right there and in USA. Le Penn is of course a traitor that support Russia, but she is not for instance advocating against healthcare for all. She is also not trying to undermine ordinary workers. But she hates foreigners and think Russia should be allowed to take Ukraine. But she is also not a war monger like Trump, and as far as we know she is not a pedophile.
Yes she is bad, and I have no idea why she is popular in France? But she is not nearly as dangerous to our democracy even just in France, as Trump is in USA. Also they do not have 40-50% support, she only got 23% of the vote, only because France has the stupid system that ends op pitting 2 candidates did she get 41% of the vote, when there was only one other candidate to compete against.
So you are wildly exaggerating the popularity of the far right in France and in Europe. Only the undemocratic presidential system in France makes her and "Rassemblement National" a danger of getting actual power.
if the US got the boot the Institution would than collapse
Yes which is why in reality NATO has already collapsed, it's just not been dissolved yet.
But we can't trust USA to lead NATO anymore. Are you aware that if a NATO operation were to happen in the middle east, USA would have control of the British nukes?
Obviously we can't allow that.
as doing so means the US has more assets to bomb Iran and such.
That is pure fantasy, USA has not redirected anything from the arctic or Greenland to be used against Iran.
You write:
We Europeans don’t see you as a threat,
That is not true. It's simply factually wrong, and the chart very clearly shows how wrong it is.
If you write "we here at our business", that would be a different matter. But you are making a decidedly false claim on behalf of Europeans in general.
Yes both Republicans and Democrats agree on sharing the power, except maybe Republicans don't want to share anymore.
Unless you are from Poland, that is blatantly false, see the chart. Europeans CLEARLY see USA as a danger and for good reason.
For some countries the "close ally" segment is in 1 digit percentage!!!
USA is absolutely a threat, they have threatened to invade Greenland, which caused several NATO allies to send troops to defend an American invasion.
And they currently wage an unprovoked illegal war against Iran, that threaten the economy of the entire globe including Europe.
No it's not just the Orange turd, He is just a symptom, he was elected by a majority vote, and no checks and balances has been effective in removing the madman. USA is a rogue state and is absolutely dangerous for the entire world.
USA is not just a potential danger to Europe, they are a current active danger. There can be no ifs or buts about it, it has already happened that they have acted very clearly dangerously towards Europe.

He absolutely is, and I doubt the Russians are aware how much harm he did even before the war.
