At the same time, Europe continued to rely heavily on weapons from the United States for its military aid

These are the findings of the latest update of the Ukraine Support Tracker, which covers aid allocations through June 2026.
Update August 13, 2026
The US won’t keep their technical lead forever which is the only power they have after losing industrial production to China. They have to adjust and whatever Trump does must be part of their plan to stay ahead.
What should the US do instead? Escalating everything into war is the only option they have.
This should be an older, free version of it:

Americans in power will try to use this anniversary to that everything happened exactly as it had to, and that we should bow our heads rather than use them.
We can love our country but recognize that our only homeland is a common one, the earth itself.
The EU is still high on the success of their regulations while they totally miss that they need innovations. Nobody will wait for the EU to approve their world-changing AI.
Where is this war with China supposed to take place?

But China wouldn’t have a problem if they can get their resources from Russia. So something has to be done about that.
She didn’t specify which anal sex.
For Nuremberg trials we would have to win the war first.
Or the US are preparing for a war with China and they solve the middle east before Iran can create chaos on the energy market when the US needs it the least.
What is Trump e.g. doing in Azerbaijan? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Armenia–Azerbaijan_peace_agreement
That doesn’t look very western hemisphere to me.
Also, there is no way the US can compete with China on their own, or just with South America. The US is betting on AI because they want to remain the hegemon and keep everybody else dependent.
weakening popular forces and an unrestrained upper class
Those AI drones for the trenches in Ukraine will also work in the suburbs of Berlin and Rome.
Europe and Asia are decoupling from the US at a breakneck speed
Breakneck speed would be denying the US access to EU biometric data for visa applications. What gives you the impression that we are decoupling? We need US gas and US AI and US weapons for Ukraine. If anything we are intensifying our bonds.
After the sudden victory in Syria I don’t write off America from that setback with Iran. We don’t know the objectives.
China isn’t expansionary, they just seem like the reliable partner right now as USA achieves historic aura loss from Iran
That’s why there will be war. The West will lose global control otherwise.
Yeah, how has that worked out?
The momentum allowed for the Iraq war and the takeover of everything in that region but Iran.
Afghanistan built dams and controls an important water source for Iran.
So, it worked out ok so far. I think after the midterms we will see how much of an obstacle Iran is.
China isn’t the one starting wars like US and Russia
But China will take over the global economy if nobody stops them. So we will start that war. We are preparing for it and use the Russian threat as cover.
America’s middle class is destroyed but that makes the upper class only more powerful. Europe still does what the US wants, even though they hate Trump. What but a sign of a powerful America is that?
for a new EU centre and binding tools to counter foreign interference, disinformation and hybrid threats
A ministry of truth, if you want.
The disinformation happens on US controlled platforms. With all their tracking they must know the authentic accounts. The phone apps hand them over all necessary location data.
So the US allows the uncertainty that creates the Russian threat. This is another form of Pearl Harbor. The ultimate goal is not Russia but the European opposition.
I guess sending notifications to previous devices about link status would be helpful.
Understatement of the year.
The US used to be a world leader in anti-fascism.
anti-fascism or anti competing fascism?
Isn’t manifested destiny already fascism?
What’s bad about Cuba that isn’t caused by the US embargo?
In 2001, Russia was willing to join the West. One of the biggest misjudgements that we only played them along, as e.g. the notes of the German chancellor suggest.
We must have thought that we can contain China on our own.
The war was not senseless. Afghanistan opens another front to China. Iraq allowed to get Syria for pipelines that Russia opposed. Terror is just the justification.
It doesn’t speak for Russia that they supported a war that was used to limit their influence.
They do?
