Putin’s trip to North Korea, Vietnam weakens U.S. imperialism

Russian President Vladimir Putin received a warm welcome when he visited the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea on June 19 to meet with Kim Jong Un, who is general secretary of the Workers Party and DPRK president. Workers and soldiers of all ages greeted the Russian president with music and colo

Prior to the recent trips to DPRK and [the Socialist Republic of] Vietnam, Putin conducted a two-day visit in [the People’s Republic of] China in late May. In addition to meeting with [President] Xí Jìnpíng, Putin also met with students at the Harbin Institute of Technology, known for its defense research and its work with the People’s Liberation Army.

Unlike [the People’s Republic of] China, the DPRK and [the Socialist Republic of] Vietnam, Russia is not a [people’s republic], and therefore, it does not have a centrally planned economy spearheaded by a pro-working class political party. Russia has been a capitalist country since the counterrevolution in the former Soviet Union in 1991.

U.S. foreign policy since 1992 has explicitly planned U.S. economic and military hegemony in all world regions, which meant planning to weaken and divide Russia so that it could never compete as a rival capitalist power. This included expanding the U.S.-commanded NATO up to the Russian border, conflicts with Russian allies in West Asia and the overthrow of a government in Ukraine in 2014 that was friendly to Moscow.

Putin’s recent trip shows that Russian diplomacy is successfully countering U.S. [neo]imperialism’s aggressive policies.

    NK is the country I meant. Why? IDK coz simple folks can’t leave it and can’t freely speak like someone owns them, so yeah, sounds like slavery to me.

    Well, let’s cover these two things here, shall we?

    There is a reason why they can’t leave and it is not because of the eVil Gummie gov’t. This cool infographic covers this part in Myth 7:

    About the part of their people not being able to speak freely, it is the contrary. The gov’t welcomes feedback from their people and they have the means and institutions to process that feedback.

    With this in mind, I don’t NK is a “slave driven country” as you confidently said. On the contrary, they are a country that are not allowed to flourish due to American jealousy.

    What evidence. You don’t need to be a detective to find evidence of Chinese police in Hungary. Reminds me of “US being world’s police”. Another example is buying out properties and businesses and ports in different EU counties. Coincidentally prices in those places going over the top for some reason. I also find overly subsidized EV production and attempts to flood market with them quite aggressive.

    I don’t that is enough evidence. Are they forcing their will on Hungarian people? Last time I checked, they were invited by the Hungarian and the police men from China in no way violates Hungary’s sovereignty because it does not allow Chinese police officers to carry weapons and take independent action in Hungary. I don’t think that is VERY empire like behavior. If you want, I can show you what a real empire looks like.

    About buying out properties and businesses and ports in different EU counties… So… Any country that does this is an evil empire?

    “Coincidentally prices in those places going over the top for some reason.” Do you have evidence for this? How can you be so sure that it is them?

    “I also find overly subsidized EV production and attempts to flood market with them quite aggressive.” -> What’s the problem with subsidizing EV production? Is that a bad thing?
