Whether the recent agreement holds together or not, the Camp David meeting is a further step in Washington’s strategy of inserting tensions, instability and continuing provocations in the region in an attempt to block China’s development and its growing regional trade with its neighbors. Washington is attempting to distract from the economic decline of the U.S. by asserting its military dominance in the Pacific.
U.S. corporations are the main beneficiaries of a policy that obstructs Japan’s and South Korea’s trade with China. China’s huge economy is a major market for their products, thus aiding the economies of its two neighbors. According to the Wilson Center, China is the top trading partner of more than 120 countries, including Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, the Philippines and Australia. U.S. corporate interests are consumed with the task of how to reverse this economic reality and contain China, especially in the Asia-Pacific region.
This new Camp David military pact follows Washington’s revival and upgrading of the QUAD — the Quadrilateral Security Dialogue among four countries: the U.S., India, Australia and Japan. The Quad holds joint military exercises that openly target China.
Ukraine wanted Russia to stay out of Ukraine. Ukraine is the victim. Russia is the aggressor. The more you try to deflect from that reality the more your bias is made obvious.
Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.
Russia was far more involved in events in Ukraine in 2014 than the US was
The current government of Ukraine was elected
This is a claim that Putin has been making since 2015 with no evidence to support them. Again, extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.
As you are parroting Putin’s personal talking points, you again make your bias clear.
Did they? Then why did they systematically break the Minsk agreements and why did they try to genocide their Russian-speaking minority in the east? Why did Zelensky lie to the population that they were going to join NATO when NATO itself has said several times Ukraine was never going to be accepted? Why did Merkel admit Minsk agreements were only about gaining time to arm Ukraine against Russia and were never meant to be a peace deal with the Donbass?
You’re this close to defending genocide, I hope that’s not your intention and it was an honest mistake.
What genocide? I already addressed this. It didn’t happen. It is a baseless accusation made by Putin and nothing more.
Banned for genocide denial. You seem to wilfully misunderstand that civilian deaths plumetted (not the argument politifact thinks it is) because they’ve armed themselves and started resisting the genocide.
Damn, makes me feel like this person has very strong opinions about “Palestinian violence” as well.
I wonder, do they all have a script or something they follow? I don’t remember having one as a lib, but maybe they’ve all received one for Ukraine, all their canned responses are exactly the same as every other debate pervert who shows up. I don’t think I’ve seen an original thought or perspective from any of them, just BBC articles telling them Putin is a Voldemort.
hmm genocide denial? STFU tankie!
I swear all these tankies coming from other instances to deny genocide, it doesn’t feel like I’m on lemmygrad anymore.

There hasn’t been a legitimate election in Ukraine since the one that Yanukovich won back before the Maidan coup. All elections since then have been a fraudulent joke, not least of all because they excluded the millions of citizens living in the Donbass which Ukraine claims are their citizens yet on whom the Kiev Nazi regime has waged war for almost a decade now.
The Kiev regime’s genocide of ethnic Russians and their planned ethnic cleansing of the Donbass (and in their absurd fantasies also of Crimea which they still are delusional as to believe they will ever get their hands on again), are well documented fact.
The aggressors are NATO and their Nazi proxies. Russia is engaged in a legitimate act of self-defense of its own people and of the Russian speaking population of former eastern Ukraine.
Proceeds to post links to “journalist” articles.
also does no one remember that the post 2014 (and a bit of pre because capitalist sellouts) ukrainian government was a huge part of the pandora papers? They were reputed as one of if not the most corrupt country on earth, and then suddenly they’re hailed as its defender.
2014? Do you mean 8 BRUI (Before Russia’s Unprovoked Invasion)? Why are you bringing up ancient history
