Holdup. The narrative is that Russia attacked (in defense pre-emptively) because of a Nazi coup government but now Russia|Putin|Trump would be happy to install more conservative and nationalist ones?
These are a bunch of capitalists, nothing free about them. They might finally do something for Europe's defense but it's not for the sake of the people but their own advantage.
Trump is just switching gears from the slow decline harder towards the Capitalist-Not-a-Democracy segment BRICS's most namesakes inhabit. He just doesn't bother to mask the racketeering into something like the Belt and Road
No worries. I'm just curious. There has definitely been advancements. And then the various rankings and indexes on happiness, equality, freedom, health, other qualities paint a different picture. Of course one could ponder if some of them are biased, and still, maybe an aggregate of all could provide value...
It's not about the messenger, you are not attacked and don't need to react as such.
My comment was that wouldn't there be other options if one considers "extensive research on politics, history and quality of life", multiple sources etc. anywhere.
I haven't voted for your comment. I'm just wondering how a police state dystopia is THE favourite. As you said, considering a multitude of pros and cons, isn't there anything else?
All fascists have always used leftist promises to gain support. That talk has never matched their actions. Some people learn to not trust lying, many don't.
Bad actors don't usually go telling it outright, it needs to be masked with something people need, without delivering.
Yup. Trump learned blading from wrestling. Crooks aimed and shot at the audience, gets killed as well. Trump cuts his own ear.
