The free world loses when Russia wins.

It's pretty much an invitation to China to do the same in Taiwan and an invitation for Russia to start more wars in eastern Europe.....

Helping Ukraine costs money. Not helping Ukraine costs even more.

    Does the free world also include places America has invaded or bombed?

    Liberals understanding fascism challenge (impossible) https://en.prolewiki.org/wiki/Fascism

    Meanwhile, in Ukraine…

    .
    Fascism didn’t suddenly appear in 2014, either, it’s been there this whole time.

    I'd pay good money to watch the Anglos crash and burn tbh. Like, PPV amounts of money. At this point it might be the only way to avert climate collapse; if possible at all, and I have no material reason to want to see you propagate or prosper. Die faster; and do a backflip on your way down.

    You mean the "free world" that has Assange, Pablo González and lots of other journalists jailed? The same free world that has destroyed every country that didn't fall in line with US interests?

    Russia is way worse. I'm in Hungary, and our government tries everything to scrub information about stuff they don't like, all while putting Project 2025-tier evil stuff into our constitution, meaning it could be pretty much be undone by an armed rebellion, which will very unlikely thanks to what I call "weaponized doomerism" (pushing people into inaction via depression, crushed protests, and underfunded health care system), and "political gaslighting" (basically the method behind "you'll be more conservative as you get older").

    China is already bullying the Philippines too out of our own territorial waters, and they have already caused severe injuries to our countrymen. They literally want an entire sea to themselves and leave us with none. Just look at their nine dash line.

    Edit: Here's their nine-dash-line, they even want Malaysia's sea, which is a long way away from chinese mainland, while they want seas close to the land territories of so many SEA nations.

    It was recently on local news, but that's not the only conflict that involved water cannons and ships. From the article you can see Vietnam— they once saved filipino fishermen from potentially drowning. (from Philippines) https://www.rappler.com/nation/233079-how-filipino-boat-crew-was-saved-west-philippine-sea/ (from Vietnam) https://e.vnexpress.net/news/news/all-gestures-no-words-as-vietnamese-fishermen-saved-22-filipinos-3940276.html. If china continues their actions, there are bound to be casualties. And if that happens, I'm not sure any of us will forgive them.
