And an ostracized Russia is forced into becoming a subservient vassal state to China. Absolute DISASTER for the US and Europe (not to mention Japan)

Xi was informed prior to this..not doubt in my mind. We have seen the headlines for a decade now. That was the big DC fear of an alliance that would put away the past 60 year conflict

Europe isn’t looking for us to do anything but write checks and ship weapon systems. The idiot in chief’s admin will not factor into any deals. Germany will lead that role with France not far behind. Which is how it should be happening since it’s their damn problem.

After 1918 and 1945, the US made a conscious decision that having a strong independent Germany charting it’s own foreign policy might not be the smartest idea 😂
But yeah, we gotta have them step up now and retake their rightful roles as the „first among equals“ in the EU. But of course, Britain is no longer there to counterbalance them and France is too politically chaotic to really restrain their neighbor tobte East. Germany resurgent it is then I guess

Oh I think China is about the only “friend” Russia will have left and Xi will extort them for all he can.

Heck of a friend no doubt...but the CCP is also lacking..which speaks to me that why in Hades is the CCP so nurtured by the US? We set ourselves up. We spend trillions on countering the CCP in the Pacific , yet lets play nice. Kissinger you are a dog turd.

And dont forget this COVID turd.

We think of things in nation state reasoning..which has to be banished.

Basically the first half of the 20th Century in Europe was an attempt to stop Germany from gaining Hegemony on the continent once their economy began absolutely booming after their industrial power started taking off post 1870. But they are basically there now. Britain was the only possible power to have enough clout to steer them. Not anymore

Not familiar with Bat 21. But I'm going to see if I can check it out.

When I saw "bat 21," my first thought was, "was that the whisky Nixon drank in Band of Brothers?," but I looked it up and that was Vat 69.

The movie is Bat 21. A book on it as well IIRC.. Clever.
