Peronists have always been anti-neoliberal and hold a “friends with everyone” stance. Even if that meant for Juan Peron that that meant since he wouldn’t agree to snub the Soviets, the US refused to have relations and vice versa. They have expressed support for Cuba, Iran and said that Russia is a “great friend” and initially exclusively used the Sputnik-V vaccine until being pressured to distribute the Johnson + Johnson shot.
Tbf Argentina would be a grand ally without Milei in power. While not explicitly leftist, Argentina’s Peronist governments would be a stalwart ally in the region.
Does he deserve it? Yes. But I still feel bad that his family is forcing his exhausted semi-corpse to hold on to the throne for their personal benefits.
I think that the US State Department blew out of proportion the fact that Vietnam sided with the USSR in the First Cold War and not the PRC (which were technically allies of the US at that moment) and the spat over the Spratly Islands. Sure they do have disagreements but to believe that Vietnam will seriously be used as a pawn against China is absolutely moronic.
Edit: There’s also talk that China is trying to strike a partnership agreement of sorts with the Taliban administration in Afghanistan and US American spooks are seriously trying to be like “Hey, buddy, remember the good times we had together? Yeah, you don’t want to do business with China, they’re evil!”…
Imagine Biden does win and like RGB he claws to his throne in such an embarrassing way that the Secret Service basically has to do a Weekend at Bernie’s situation with him for the next 4 1/2 years as he drools on himself and falls asleep on stage, but as a stubborn boomer refuses to relinquish control.
I mean in any normal world, that is a coherent response.
Russia: Could you not point that fucking gun RIGHT IN MY FACE?! I have my own weapons too, so don’t do anything stupid.
USA: My bad.
These dudes are always the weirdest closet cases… I feel like they like femboys because they have secondary traits that society has deemed “feminine” and need a way to explain how they aren’t LGBTQ+ by suggesting the opposite is somehow true. Just accept everyone is on the spectrum to some degree and carry on.
Sure, keep pushing Russia together with Iran, Syria, DPRK, Cuba and to a lesser degree, China. I’m sure this can’t possibly blow up in the faces of Washington.
I mean, sure, that’s great news in a bubble. But the guy spent a good deal of his adult life running like a dog for committing no crime (in his country), this whole ordeal was a warning against further whistleblowers.
To think Ukraine could’ve walked out of this with nothing more than a bloody nose and a bruised ego. At this point Russia has no incentive to stop, they’ve mitigated the sanctions, found states willing to buy their oil and gas and learned to produce weapons of war without importing parts… militarily they’re winning and it’s unlikely Ukraine can reasonably expect to fight much longer without a total adult male conscription (like the Nazis did once the USSR breached Germany’s borders) and even then, it would destroy their population in exchange for buying time, not a victory.
They went all in on the West, and I think just now they’re beginning to realize that they got duped.
This makes me think that Ukraine must be totally winning this war now! Heavily arming straight up nazis as well as the ”””””””””””””””” homeland of the Jewish people”””””””””””””””” is bliss.
It begins, Cuba is has long expressed sadness that ever since Soviet leaders had cut off their access to modern weapons of war, that they could no longer help fight in nations that need military help with revolution since their assistance in Algeria and Mozambique.
This. The important thing is they view the very existence of Palestinians in Israel as a threat to the settler colonial project. They saw South Africa, Rhodesia, Namibia, Mozambique, etc etc etc they won’t allow the “mistakes” to repeat. Sooner or later they want all of them forced out or dead…
Israel is a lot more fragile than they let on.
Definitely vote, just vote for whatever the closest thing to a revolutionary party that you can, even if that party is only going to get like 2%, revolution won’t happen via the voting box but there’s a reason that the CIA tries to subvert these parties.
Social democrats can “win” sometimes but their advances are fleeting, look at Sweden, Netherlands, and France to see how quickly their gains can be undone. Hell, even Labour in Britain and the Democratic Party in the US were somewhat respectable social democratic parties in the earlier to mid 20th century. However why would they work to shut down CPUSA (before it was co-opted)? Because it can serve as a barometer for revolutionary sentiment.
The pervasive rumor is that hoping for Ukrainian results before the US presidential election, Kiev/Kyiv will mobilize every male over the age of 18, and while conscriptions don’t tend to be that young… don’t forget that the OG Nazis conscripted all males 16 and over to fight once the Soviets breached German lines… even Hitler Youth as young as 13 were sent to collect weapons, boots, wool sweaters, anything possible for the war machine.
why would a nation we’ve exploited for centuries be against the current world order???!!!
Let’s hope the Argentine people can remove Milei so we can keep expanding the BRICS+ club.
albeit at higher costs
This phrase is an outrage for liberals, though.
They had the chance of at least switching his VP to someone… ANYONE competent. Hell even Hillary Clinton is less shit than Harris.
I like to draw a contrast with Xi Jingping’s recent summit with the Arab League.
That’s largely the way he goes about interacting with nations, compare that with the Occupied Indigenous Nations that we commonly call “USA”, and how they claim to “run the world”.
