The best outcome would be for Russia to withdraw. Something Russia can do tomorrow.
According to Trump West Bank settlement is in accordance with international law.
Important detail: they weren't just warned by the Americans, but by multiple countries.
Just to add:
- Syria: they also allowed Russian Islamic extremists to go fight in Syria rather than cause trouble in Russia - some of them reportedly joined ISIS
- Dagestan
- Sudan/Darfur
- disproportionate recruitment of Muslim minorities for the Ukrainian front
- violent repression of Muslim minorities
- involvement in the Sahel + helping military regimes in Niger/Mali/Burkino Faso fight ISIS affiliated groups
- Afghanistan: ISIS have previously attacked the Russian embassy there, saying the Taliban aren't radicals and are Russian puppets.
- Iran: ISIS has perpetrated attacks in Iran, hates the Iranian regime. Iran is a Russian ally and provides them with drones for Ukraine, Russia in turn supports Iran.
Etc. etc. etc.
We'll lose so much when AI art replaces a lot of this kind of stuff.

I'm not having a go, but you should probably google complicit. I don't think it means what you think it does.
You'd be surprised how popular tiktok rapists like Andrew Tate are.
Plenty of my fellow men deserve to be alone.
Israel's also an important weapons manufacturer and importer.
If the deal Israel has with the US explodes, China would be more than happy to fill that void. Sell them some more weapons, import some fancy missile tech, etc. Their current stance belies years of cooperation, including weapons deals. Something the US was pressuring them on. (I say current stance, but they just blocked a cease fire, so it may be that they're already making the pivot).
Not as if they actually give a shit about human rights of Gazans, despite the propaganda.
In international politics morality always comes second to real politik. There are no good guys.
I assume it's also priced that way because it can be used for propaganda.
Legacy media, hasn't made a profit for years? There's always some rich fascist cunt or nasty foreign government willing to buy it for more than it's worth so they can push their agenda.
It's not about making money for them. It's about power and influence.
