The U.S. empire is getting ready to cut its losses in Ukraine. This is something I’ve been expecting for a while as someone who’s watching the situation from outside the anti-Russian propaganda bubble, but additional signs of such a development have lately appeared. Signs which indicate how messy the process is going to be. The fact is that the U.S. bloc has committed itself to backing a regime which has committed gargantuan, mass trauma-inducing war crimes, and so many within the pro-imperialist sphere will never want to admit these atrocities have happened. So when Washington decides to forsake the Zelensky regime due to its becoming too much of a liability, a bitter split could emerge within the empire’s intellectual (or even political and military) ranks.

    Don’t forget that around this same time last year, they abandoned their Afghan puppets to apparently pivot to Ukraine.

        I mean… What good bet do they have? Honestly, the event itself (the narrative abandonment of Ukraine by the Western psyop machine and said machine’s pivoting towards Taiwan) is an act of unspeakable cruelty, but it’s a sign of a truly wonderful thing in my eyes: it really IS over for the West. Anything they try, they fail - and they fail harder and faster than they ever did. The pivot towards Taiwan and the formidable enemy that is China tells me they have NO easy fronts to squeeze anymore, NO low hanging fruit to sweep in and pillage. The speed with which Ukraine is dropping off the news cycle makes me feel that the decline of the West is becoming precipitous in speed - the COVID pandemic turned a festering decline into a spiraling freefall for imperialist capitalism.

          I hope I get to see the US fall in my lifetime, and I mean truly fall and not just recede into just a smaller version of itself like the “fall” of the British Empire or Spanish Empire. Name change, regime change, land back, socialism, etc.

            Whether or not the US itself falls, its empire is in irreversible terminal decline. I just hope i get to see China reunified and Palestine liberated. The US breaking apart would just be a bonus.

            I can’t help but see the US only falling one way. By taking the rest of the world with it in nuclear fire. The oligarchy will use the scorched Earth as hostage to retain their power. These “people” are an evil beyond what normal humans are capable of imagining. They WILL do everything in their power to hold onto it.

            I hope I’m wrong. I hope China is able to Unite enough of the world and outmaneuver these genocidal psychopaths. I don’t see it going any other way.

        Or like me losing a game of RISK as a kid. “Hmmm, running out of options… maybe if I just shift a bunch of pieces here it’s gonna do some good.”

      With all the hate pouring from every outlet? Doubt it. I’d rather expect them to blame it on Putin.

      The contradiction in the narratives in American fake news and school textbooks is a key hint that the accusations towards the enemy of American imperialism are slanders. Plot armor, deus ex machina, forced plot, and plot inconsistency provide a major hint to the fictional nature of any accusations against counter imperialists.

    It’s probably getting too hard to cover up how much of a fascist shithole Ukraine is under Zelensky and his Azov masters. Plus they’ve shown their hand with all the money laundering.

    I think another part is they are just desperate to turn people attention outward and ignore how fucked they are in their local lives. Unfortunately things are getting so shitty people aren’t able to care much about the goings on of the rest of the world for very long because they have to eat and pay rent. So the elite keep pulling more and more crazy shit to try and distract them. I’m interested to see where we pivot to after Taiwan. My money is on Cuba or Venezuela… If we are able to pivot that is. They might just be fucking stupid enough to actually start WW3 with China.

      No, the next conflict the US will start after they fail with Taiwan will be a war with Iran via the US’s Zionist apartheid regime proxy in the region. The US will be kicked out of Syria and Iraq and then they will launch this last desperate bid to stay retain power in the middle east and keep the region in chaos.

      This too will fail and then they will pivot to Latin America, likely to Nicaragua or Venezuela which will by then be well armed and protected by Russia and economically prospering with the help of China’s BRI, and so the US will fail there too. The empire cannot win these conflicts, its decline is too advanced.

      It is also likely we will see uprisings and civil conflicts in the US itself, with the state’s security forces cracking down brutally on the unrest while openly taking the side of fascist paramilitaries against indigenous, black, and leftist movements. Expect military gear and tactics used against the US’s own population.

      There will probably be pogroms and other atrocities.
