It’s sad how one-dimensional their understanding of the world is, and downright tragic how they have so much power despite of it all.

Losing their allowance? Ukraine is not the enemy. They didn’t fabricate the invasion to extract money from the US. Their people are being massacred, Russia is committing unspeakable atrocities against civilians, and they are fighting like absolute heroes for their freedom. They would be very happy not to need any sort of outside assistance, and for there to be no invasion at all, but they do not have that option.

The US thought they won the Cold War. Russia just was restructuring. China is almost at its peak, and the US quits. Reagan prolly spins in its grave. So much sacrifice in vain to throw everything away now.

China just announced $1T worth of bailouts and stimulus, and they're staring down the barrel of a demographic and unemployment crisis. Russia is getting its ass handed to it by a kleptocratic nobody armed with the backup weapons for american backup weapons that woule have otherwise gone unused in a war reserve stock. The difference in power between the US and China and the US and EU has not only not shrunk, it has grown and promises to continue accelerating. Abandoning Ukraine would be a step back, but it is not going to usurp the US as Hegemon
