There will be a world war within the next 3 years, not 10.

There already is. It’s just done through non-conventional means, hybrid warfare and proxies, since all superpowers have nukes now.

Also the cyberspace, where Trump just recently surrendered to Moscow as well.

There’s no “propaganda network.” America has a president that overthrew the GOP leadership by destroying Jeb Bush over the Iraq War: https://youtu.be/H4ThZcq1oJQ?si=ZawKMFFY3LmAhYMr . After the mistakes of the last two decades, there is little appetite in America to do anything in foreign countries americans can’t find on a map beyond empty virtue signaling.

Like most Asians and most Muslims, I have been opposed to the “rules based international order” my entire adult life. American proxy wars have caused tremendous damage around the world. And I’m incredibly proud we finally have an American President who realizes they don’t serve American interests either.

This is not a new sentiment and it caused by Russian social media propaganda: https://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-4473508,00.html. I cite Chomsky less these days than I used to, but I recall back when I was a Gore-supporting Democrat and we were mocking “Team America: World Police” he was seen as pretty respectable. Is he Russian propaganda?

What are you even on about? It's not invented it's a verifiable fact. If you align more with Russia and think that Russia would let go of China as their ally when Russia tied themselves to China after the sanctions. I don't know which universe this would happen but not this one.

How is it a fact exactly ?

It seems like Ukraine is insisting on a “security guarantee.” Can someone explain how the U.S. providing a security guarantee wouldn’t increase the risk of american boots on the ground in Ukraine?

Of course it increases the risk - it's the whole point of the ask.

He’s insisting on something that the U.S. already agreed to…

Russia advantage is its large border with China. The US is not allying because of their (non) existent economy. But they'll be a formidable ally in case of a war against China.

You're trying to sell this as the USA dividing and conquering Russia and China against each other. But it looks much more like Russia dividing and conquering the USA from the rest of the democratic, human rights supporting West.
