Ffs the media needs to stop saying king. Its what he fucking wants. And it's going to normalize it.

If I recall correctly, it's about destabilizing the Dollar and making their (China and Russia's) financial system become the world standard...

It all comes down to money. It always does.

I like to pull back a little and see my life from a 3rd person every now and then, while trying to keep a logical and optimistic mindset.

It's gotten me through a lot in the last 5+ years.

So edgy

It's a proxy war, and the US is "mask off" authoritarian now, so neither side gives a fcuk what Ukraine thinks.

I came to post the exact same sentiment.
