Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

The US is going to alienate every ally it has.

At this point the only thing holding the West allyship together is shared racism against brown people, will it be enough?

will it be enough?

Europe is a garden and the rest of the world is a jungle, and the garden must make sure the jungle does not encroach on the garden

-Josep Borrell, EU foreign policy chief

It's not a matter of 'is racism against brown people enough', it's a matter of when do they come back down to planet earth.

who cares how alienated they are if they follow every beck and call, if they kneel to every wave of their hand

america is in charge, ukraine can do absolutely nothing about that

The US has vassals, not allies. Alienation is acceptable

Until it ain't. Even Mexico seems to be angling to pivot to BRICS as soon as a chance is presented.
