President signed the legislation championed by late senator Lindsey Graham last month but has waived the restrictions as they were due to come into effect

Maybe “the West” no longer exists. There’s just the US and then there’s Europe, and each of them is doing their own thing.

    As opposed to the based countries of Russia, China, etc, which have no feudal characteristics, political opposition is healthy and plentiful, have zero control of the media, and you can just say “no thanks” when you are called to fight

      Russia does not have compulsory conscription. Did you think that was true just based on your spoon fed propaganda? Is this an emotional truth for you?

      Russia and China are liberators and peacemakers, respectfully.

      Just in the Sahel, Russia is helping bring to a close centuries of unending colonialism by Europe and America.

      The unipolar world order is over, and I personally think it couldn’t have come soon enough.

        Do you think the 600.000 soldiers and 13.000 civilians that have died so far in the war would agree with this sentiment? How is China a peacemaker while threatening their neighbors with war?

          There’s actually far more soldier deaths, as the Discord Leaks showed. The Ukraine War is nothing but lies.

          But yes, so little civilian deaths is unheard of, and almost all from Ukraine’s retribution on their own supposed people.

          China brokered peace between Saudi Arabia and Yemen before America and Israel arbitrarily attacked Iran, triggering Saudi attacks on Yemen. China has consistently pushed for mediation and diplomacy at the UN.

          America is out of control and needs to be stopped, and this didn’t start with Trump.

          We currently arms over 80% of all dictatorships.

          America is the biggest threat to global democracy, security, and peace globally.

            Right, China is completely peaceful towards its neighbors, Japan, India, Taiwan and the Philippines have nothing but positive things to say. The aggressor Russia is doing nothing wrong, and all evidence to the contrary is fake → there is no point talking to you.
