    There might even be a stronger push from some members to (at least try) mend their relationships with Russia. But then that happening would necessitate giving up on arming Ukraine, I doubt Russia would be agreeable without that happening first. I suspect that the current status quo in the EU wouldn’t agree to this, because it seems EU members are sworn on re-establishing their economies through rearming themselves sans US, and rearmament will most likely just lead to more war. But then again the French and the Spanish (at least) are in the midst of mass protests atm, and the popular concensus on arming Ukraine/war in general (which has only meant increased austerity policies at home) could be turning more widely, though I’ll admit that I haven’t got any proof that this shift is actually happening. But people will always be against austerity.

    Then again, things are always in flux. The current Ukrainian state might just kick the bucket during/after the coming winter, which would change things here vis-a-vis Russia. Putin will eventually have to leave office in Russia, and his successor might be even more hardline with even less trust towards the west, or an even softer handed liberal ready to open up Russia’s markets again. China (and Russia too) keeps working with the global south, enabling them to use their own material recourses to kick out the western neocolonial powers and gain some actual independence, for the first time in a looooong while. Iran is changing the picture in West Asia and the Zionist entity is losing favor among the youth globally, the same folks that are protesting in France and elsewhere. Green energy transformation is a necessity for human survival, and China is leading in its development (there’s been news about their newest nuclear fusion strides, though I’m not a nuclear physicist and can’t tell how far they realistically are to making it an actual, usable piece of engineering). All the while there is a spectre haunting the world. The spectre of communism.

    Interesting times ahead for us all, I think. Hopefully we can make meaningful changes in Europe soon.

      they’ve almost been completely pushed out of latin-america and it’s fascinating how the chinese simply walked away from all of those investments when the americans forced them out – the americans have literally sent out armies to prevent losing smaller investments in the past.

      once the americans/isrealis are done fucking the election in brazil, mexico will be the last place where chinese investments are still happening at a meaningful scale and history teaches us that mexico alone cannot change this epstein class induced tidal wave.

      it’s also means that the us empire can continue limping along exploiting the entirety of the americas and continue to hold the upper hand on the world’s affairs as result.
