The US National Security Strategy (2022) says its top priority is "out-competing China and Constraining Russia" and that a key goal is that "Russia's conventional military will have been weakened" (p.23, p.26).

A 2024 Foreign Policy analysis from a RAND expert explicitly calls Ukraine "a widening proxy war" with East Asian powers competing on the global stage.

By now, the US National Security Strategry (2026) shifts to "prioritize deterring China" and says NATO allies should take "primary responsibility for Europe's conventional defense" (p.10, p.11).

The US wants to weaken Russia so Europe can handle it by their own, freeing the US to focus on China. Wild stuff!

You're allowed to concede that all you do is act out of impulse, not through the process of thinking.

Nobody's praising anyone, you're jumping to conclusions. If you'd have a good understanding on why you hate the US, you'd focus more on their proxy war in Ukraine to weaken and take out Russia in order to encircle China. It's not that complicated. That doesn't mean, that anyone argues in favor of Russia, that's a dishonest take. I implore you to focus on the actual problem in this world and work from there.

How so, by backing a US/NATO proxy war?

The actions were laid out in the OP comment and in the article you refuse to read.

You think Michael Parenti had to gain as much from writing up this article, that it's not worth your time reading it? A published academic article for the global community.

Stop wasting your time finding excuses.

China famously doesn‘t need to share anything at all, the US is very good at pulling dumb shit out of their ass to slander unfriendly nations for their own citizen's indoctrination, like this shit recently.

What‘s a good, unbiased source for you? You sure that's something that exists in politics? You'll have to take the information and use your critical thinking abilities to further your knowledge about the world. The article from Dr. Michael Parenti from the other comment is very well sourced. Stop creating artifical standards, you have been excepting dumb propaganda in the past to form your current understanding.

To be fair, YOU DID SAY „orcs“ to describe Russians, that‘s dehumanization and a type of othering called Russophobia.

Do you have some resource to dive into the issue? I recall the odd timing, but not some kind of established links to foreign governments.
