Well, I would say that many Trumpers believe in the 'if you can take it, its yours' mentality. Russia is just doing what they want to do
I do not think China is rich from the West. I think China is incredibly good at gaming/ min-maxing Capitalism, way better than the US, who doesnt really understand Capitalism at all

I feel like it's a cool day in hell because these last few weeks I've been agreeing with Vaush on a lot of the things he's been saying about this topic.
So apparently the reasons they're having Supply troubles is the soldiers sold much of their supplies on the black market because they thought they weren't invading.
The Russian army was not ready for this invasion.
US, UK, Europe and Canada to block Swift access for some Russian banks
Partial ejection from global payment system expected in days as part of new sanctions against Moscow
www.theguardian.com
At long last, the international community has decided to bar several Russian banks from SWIFT (the main system worldwide for facilitating international payments; without it, any international purchases or sales-- even everyday, run-of-the-mill ones-- take additional time and possibly incur additional charges). They've also frozen the assets of the Central Bank of Russia, which means it cannot liquidate them.
The measures are estimated to lock Putin's government out of approximately 630 billion dollars in international financial reserves. Plus, of course, it'll have a ruinous effect on the rouble itself, which was already performing like shit. It's recognised as one of the most severe sanctions possible.
If you read the whole Twitter thread, apparently a bunch of Nigerians were denied access to the border of Poland. I've heard mixed things of whether this being Ukraine or Poland's fault. I think it's important to bring this to attention.
If that were the case, you'd make objections that make sense instead of ones I can perfectly well reply to by quoting myself.
Poland's strategy for the last year's refugee crisis was to close borders, on the rationale that refugees(in that case, many from the middle eastern countries) should receive help in the first country they escape to. And that they were already secure in Belarus, which allegedly orchestrated whole new migration route.
That is of course the official justifiation, but for the interior use, the goverment wasn't shy of anti-muslim propaganda, highlighting some of the problems with integration in the west.
When in comes to Ukrainian refugees, the rationale is that Poland is the first country on their path, and that the situation is more dire and urgent. This of course doesn't excuse turning people that don't look "ukrainian enough" away.
So yeah, it's Racism, but it's also racism.
No. They make sense. Yours makes sense too. I just am not interested in kowtowing to any massive government just because they threatened you.
It's like this is the first time you've been threatened by a superpower before. When a superpower threatens you, it just means they want something for free. It doesn't matter if it's Russia, the US, India, Brazil or China. Because they all do it

This is huge military victory, probably gives the capital more time. Also I believe this was the attack that killed the Chechen general.

Supporting this is just cheerleading for United States global hegemony.
