The article does not say that there have been 600k casualties. It says there are 600k fighting in Ukraine.

Where did you get “already lost at least 600,000”?

It certainly seems so. Particularly in a western “liberal” democracy.

Why wouldn’t they recognize Taiwan? Are they gonna confuse it for Japan somehow?

China acted faster and more efficiently than most other countries, especially consider they were the first to be hit.

Still better than politicians who don’t resign over anything but still speak in riddles and never commit to anything good.

Yeah, it’s Israel.

The US doesn’t need to “get it’s house in order”.

It also needs to (and seems on the path to) be destroyed in its current form.

With global trade inevitably shifting away from the unstable US, Military embarrassments against small impoverished organizations like the houthis, and diplomacy entirely built around leveraging those 2 things…it seems much more likely the US turns into a nuclear armed former superpower than that it maintains it’s global status and changes to actually use said status for good.

That’s a good sentiment which should be encouraged. If more Americans had that base level of compassion we wouldn’t be here now.

Decades of trading death and destruction globally for comfort at home built an America ripe for the taking by the likes of Trump as he simply had to capitalize on the sentiments created by that “us at the cost of them” system better than Kamala was able to.
