Would the US losing in Ukraine hurt the US elsewhere? Would it increase the likelihood that West Asia can free itself?

I hope you are right. That would be the good ending. "The victory of colonialism, even in the farthest corners of the earth, is a defeat for us, and the victory of freedom anywhere is a victory for us." -- Abd el-Krim

it would be better to break up Russia first

So it wasn't just some liberals on Reddit daydreaming of breaking up Russia, it was actual policy?! This amount of delusional thinking from the top can only be explained by racism and chauvinism. Either that or a lot of nepotism and corruption.

If US military suppliers are going to cheat the government with cut-rate products, it is given at this point

Critical support to scummy military contractors

China will turn them into mincemeat

No problem. My sarcasm detector was broken.

if they decide they hate the decadent and sinful West

That wasn’t the motive, else they would have attacked Japan.

Plus, this is Arab media https://youtu.be/XcclXnr6UVU

I’m not sure this is more likely. It may happen, depending on what parties ending up winning elections in the West. But if the current governments remain in power I can’t see them allowing it to happen even if it meant WW3.

I knew it! Western media and politicians have been lying about the possibility of defeating Russia all along.

They are either delusional or manipulative. In Russia’s advantage it is politically more stable long term than any Western government which could at any moment elect a government that doesn’t want to continue the war

And using Chinese 5G technology

Yes but it would be much cheaper to get the degree from somewhere else. Don't expect to be paid enough in USD in Cuba or China to pay off your university debt, unless you intend on never repaying it ;)

This is the average liberal, half of them are worse than this

The risk being US sanctions of course
