 This a thread for discussing the idiotic global proxy war between a failing kleptocratic resource cursed hellhole and Russia. plus a few more random actors with 80 nukes to use   https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Khasham https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2020/06/29/russia-bounty-us-troops-afghanistan-what-we-know/3277696001/ i think this'll probably be the one that kills us all because its even dumber than the last thought?S https://www.popularmechanics.com/military/weapons/a33001817/russia-nuclear-weapon-test/ quote:Radiation detectors across northern Europe have picked up a short-lived, non-dangerous release of radioactivity experts believe came from Russia. Authorities believe the leak, which was first detected in early June, is coming from western Russia. One possibility is that the test is in some way related to a new nuclear-powered cruise missile, which caused an accident in 2019 and several deaths. wisconsingreg has issued a correction as of 20:49 on Jun 30, 2020 |

It's a much more multilateral world than it was during the OG Cold War, with India-Pakistan-China having a lot of potential for thermonuclear Armageddon over border skirmishes and the water resources of the Indus river valley system.

The 2020 election is about who we should have a Cold War with, Russia or China. https://twitter.com/itsJeffTiedrich/status/1277956812042633216?s=20 https://twitter.com/HKrassenstein/status/1277034139057782789?s=20 Pompeo wants us to focus on the Marxist-Leninist China Regime https://twitter.com/SecPompeo/status/1276299440807186439?s=20

were definitely more likely to have a second cold war around China than russia except this time theres no real deeper ideological conflict since the entire world is dominated by capitalism, so at the end of the day it wont match the real stakes of the Cold War. itll be a largely fake facade of conflict while capitalists on both sides gladly hand each other billions back and forth generating Growth.

I disagree with that view on China, but let's assumed that going forward the world is dominated by a multi-polar order of capitalist states. They are not going to cooperate, that's just believing in ultra-imperialism 2.0. The last period of a multi-polar capitalist order ended in World War 1.

I guess everyone wrong back last month/week etc when China was our sole enemy that needed to be crushed. Either way, the situation is more like the 19th century than the Cold War where power blocs of Great Powers are angling for control over the world rather than a bipolar ideological conflict. In this case though, Russia and China are clearly cooperating as well.

Naval buildups, colonial proxy wars, and shifting alliances are all in the cards though.

China and Russia cooperating was an incredible own goal on the part of the US. I wonder if having Estonia in NATO was worth it. The US has done a lot to create a coherent anti-US bloc by implementing so many sanctions and declaring trade wars. Apparently, when enough countries are cut off from the centers of global finance, they will start working together to create alternatives.

Everyone wanted to call the Cold War gone hot “World War III”, but let’s go back to 1914 terminology for the polypole Cold War II. The Great Nuclear War The Nuclear War to End All Wars The Last World War The End World War

A4R8 posted:The bipartisan fear campaigns against China over the next decade is going to be nauseating. RussiaGate was just a preview. They are, but right now it is a good example of how it is going to every country that opposes us at the same time. Russia, China, Venezuela, Cuba, North Korea, Iran, Syria etc etc will all take turns in the 24 hour news cycle. The news is split between covering the Hong Kong state security law and Russian bounties.

https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-53258965 President Donald Trump was not verbally briefed on reports Russia paid militants to kill US soldiers, said national security adviser Robert O'Brien, because of a lack of confidence in the intelligence. The CIA officer decided the intelligence was not verified. whoops
