Like genuinely what the fuck is he talking about this is literally the opposite of the truth, basically the entire global south keeps making new great deals with China and distancing themselves from the US

Beijing’s increasingly hardline policies are convincing more countries to boost strategic relations with Washington, says Nicholas Burns.

I kind of hope that people running burgerland genuinely believe that and are making strategic decisions based on this :)

[–] Munrock@lemmygrad.ml 11 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Honestly it wouldn't surprise me. I'm pretty sure Washington's current string of geopolitical strategic blunders and failures is a result of their fellating themselves with their echo chamber media so much that they started swallowing their own bullshit.

the US has its own that it is unwilling to budge on, including its support for Europe, treaty obligations with such allies as Japan and the Philippines and support for human rights and free speech.

TFW you look at usa allies (le practical-based order)

The EU is going to do it, too. Sucks to suck, China.

That's right, technologically backwards west is becoming more insular and cut off from the rest of the world. Sucks to suck indeed losers.

You still don’t get how much the world has changed or how much momentum is behind that change. You’re Wile E. Coyote, standing on thin air.

Yeah the EU is most likely going to do it eventually, but it won't be China that suffers, it's regular Europeans like me. For China it will be yet another windfall. Every time they've been barred from western technology it's supercharged their own domestic development and left us further and further behind.

The problem is people like you who still think the world revolves around "the West" when the world has long since moved on. They don't need us, we need them.

You think you're hurting "the enemy" but you're really only hurting yourself. And your real enemy is not way over in China, they're much closer to home.

Go on, do it, then. Don't come begging back to the rest of the world when your cities are freezing and deindustrializing, your neocolonies in Africa are escaping your grasp, your EU reich is falling apart, and the rest of the world is thriving better than ever before after having divested from parasitic western finance.

I agree, it sucks to suck. And you'll be sucking for a long, long time to come.

I mean, the last time U.S.A tried to restrict a tech from China or the E.U depended a little too much on the U.S and cut ties from the east, it worked extremely well for both of them. /s
