4·17 小时前Exactly, it’s far more likely that the US dumps Europe than the other way around. I think the US would be very happy if the EU fell apart because then they’d be negotiating with individual countries from a position of absolute power. And the recent policy paper kinds of spells this out https://www.whitehouse.gov/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/2025-National-Security-Strategy.pdf
such a great case study on what happens when you split a society with one part being run by communists and the other by capitalist
I highly doubt this would actually happen, but would be hilarious to watch.
What gets lost in the Poland success story is the scale of the Western financial intervention in the early 90s. It wasn’t just a few loans. The US alone kicked in nearly a billion dollars in grants and aid right out of the gate to stop the economy from collapsing. Then 200 million for the Polish Stabilization Fund in 1990 that made their new currency actually work. But the really big one, the thing no other post-communist country got on that level, was the debt forgiveness. The Paris Club, with the US leading the charge, straight up cancelled half of Poland’s official government debt. We’re talking about wiping clean 50% of a 30 billion dollar tab. The US forgave about 2.4 billion of the 3 billion Poland owed it. That was a massive, deliberate financial reset button.
So when people talk about Poland’s climb from low to high income, the real story is that the climb started on a foundation built with hundreds of millions in direct grants and one of a kind debt haircut orchestrated by the West. They did the hard work, for sure, but they were able to do it standing on a mountain of forgiven debt and direct cash that simply wasn’t available to others in the same way.
the irony of you braying about everybody who disagrees with you being a fascist and then finishing with a literal fascist slogan is just 🤌
When you definitely understand what colonialism is and why the war in Ukraine started.
I see you like to do a lot of projecting when lashing out at people.
So you think because I don’t support Ukraine murdering people I support other people being killed? hat’s a pretty ridiculous statement. Also you should probably look back at what was happening there because your memory of the situation seems extremely skewed. Other people have already provided sources you could read instead of making a clown of yourself in public.
No, I don’t support fascists murdering people in Donbas. That’s what you support, that’s what makes you a fascist.
Again, weird framing given that murder was started by Ukraine in Donbas. But I guess when facts don’t fit with your narrative, you just ignore them. Quite telling that this is what you support.
Russia has been attempting to perform diplomacy with the west since before 2014. That’s what Minsk agreements, which the west now admitted were meant to buy time to arm their regime in Ukraine, were supposed to be all about. Funny how you conveniently forgot about that.
NATO started coming apart because NATO lost its proxy war against Russia, and the US is now throwing Europe under the bus while retrenching. It’s an incredibly infantile world view to think that all this is a result of a single individual making decision unilaterally. Weird how fash like you didn’t say a peep when the western installed regime in Ukraine has been killing people in Donbas for the past eight years. Stop pretending like you have some moral high ground.
Evidently, you’re fine with a western backed regime murdering its own people though.
It’s pretty hilarious how libs basically memorized a handful of retorts and they just parrot them completely unthinkingly whenever faced with any information they don’t like.
It’s clearly taken far lass than a decade for NATO to start coming apart, and it didn’t even fight Russia directly yet. So maybe come down there baby Hitler.
The reality is that people in Crimea aren’t being grabbed off the streets and gang pressed into fighting.
Russia is clearly nowhere near as corrupt as Ukraine given that Russia is actually able to run a functioning economy and a military. In fact, there’s strong evidence to suggest that NATO is far more corrupt than Russia is given that Russia is single handedly outproducing all of the west militarily right now. Meanwhile, before yapping about Crimea, you might want to go read a history book for once in your life.
Oh, is that all? Just ‘route the corruption’ and then casually ‘split up’ world’s biggest nuclear power? Totally won’t end in global glassing. It’s amazing how you solved a complex geopolitical crisis with the logic of a toddler smashing LEGOs.
I’m guessing it won’t, but it’s good to see the discussion happening. KPRF has also been seeing a lot of gains of late, and these kinds of moves will only help them going forward.
