I think the US is calling the base withdrawal a "punishment" to save public face when really it's probably Spain kicking out them. Similar to how Trump made big talk about bringing Iran to the stone age to make it look like Iran surrendered when it was the other way around to anyone with actually the ability to read.
Nooooo do imperialism on them not us lets sit down and carve up maps together daddy Trump nooooo whyyy ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ
Capitalists paywalling their own propaganda, some problems really do fix themselves.
Truly no other choice. Can't let Russia win in Ukraine or else Russia is then going to sail their entire army through the North Sea to conquer Britain next. Call of Duty plots have taught me as much.
The ASEAN countries joining seems like a big deal since they were supposed to be the US's alternatives to China's manufacturing. The only other big alternative is Mexico who is also drifting closer to BRICS.
Israel will colonize and settle the south, Turkey will begin restoring the Ottoman empire in the north, and the US will continue occupying the east for oil, but at least people in Syria are now free to go around destroying Christmas trees. (I despise Christmas but still.)
It's almost like being communist means being left wing or something.
I've seen people defend capitalism unironically by arguing that you can just go run off in the woods if you don't like it, as if every square inch of land isn't privately owned.
Imagine the US pushing Europe into war with Russia and then at the last second is like nah, you got this, keep buying our overpriced hardware and you'll be fine.
Nazis: Marxism is bad because it's jewish.
Liberals: Marxism is bad because it hates jews.
Marxists: Bruh.
Perhaps so, but now Russia no longer has McDonald's or Pizza Hut.
Yeah, the threat of USSR retaliation kept the US in check for many years with countries like Cuba. Russia is stretched to the limits of their capabilities, China has yet to show any hardline commitment towards interventionism, and everyone else is either willingly allied with the US or too weak to do anything. There is no one to kept the US in check for going rogue especially with countries in their backyard. Plus, air power is much more destructive and capable now then in the past if you lack the modern air defenses to match or can inflict equal damage back with your own modern offensive capabilities like Iran did, guerilla warfare with only rpg-7s and AK47s won't get you as far in 2026 as it did in the 1970s.
