    Nobody’s praising anyone, you’re jumping to conclusions. If you’d have a good understanding on why you hate the US, you’d focus more on their proxy war in Ukraine to weaken and take out Russia in order to encircle China. It’s not that complicated. That doesn’t mean, that anyone argues in favor of Russia, that’s a dishonest take. I implore you to focus on the actual problem in this world and work from there.

      Sooo

      Russia attacks Ukrain and the US somehow tries to encircle China? Who is jumping to conclusions now?

      You do realize they could just leave? Right?

      Obviously the US is happy to fight against and damage Russia whenever they get the chance. But jumping to China in this case is wild.

        The US National Security Strategy (2022) says its top priority is “out-competing China and Constraining Russia” and that a key goal is that “Russia’s conventional military will have been weakened” (p.23, p.26).

        A 2024 Foreign Policy analysis from a RAND expert explicitly calls Ukraine “a widening proxy war” with East Asian powers competing on the global stage.

        By now, the US National Security Strategry (2026) shifts to “prioritize deterring China” and says NATO allies should take “primary responsibility for Europe’s conventional defense” (p.10, p.11).

        The US wants to weaken Russia so Europe can handle it by their own, freeing the US to focus on China. Wild stuff!
