The U.S. alliance with Israel has Palestine feeling the same way. The U.S. alliance with Ukraine has Russia feeling the same way. The U.S. worried about people playing the same games is a waste of time.

[@mandarinandthetenrings2201]

Don't bother this just propaganda. America not concern with Russia and North Korea.

[@mandarinandthetenrings2201]

You see American generals on TV telling you that they are concern with Iran. But what they don't tell you is that Iran offloads 90% of it oil on Karg Island and at any time the US can blow it up if they really want to. So Iran isn't a threat. They just make you think they are.

Russia and China’s alliance compared to the United States and Ukraine is a ridiculous comparison

[@zepher664]

Russia is about as genuine as Israel's claims that they aren't targeting civilians. No one cares about Russia's crocodile tears.

[@AJolie009]

@@tra726The truth of the matter is, the US does not want its hegemony to be threatened. There’s nothing else to it. They’re trying to contain China in the indo-pacific, arming Taiwan given its strategic value to them, form an alliance with South Korea and Japan which adheres to that containment policy, continue to incorporate as many post-Soviet countries within its sphere of influence under “NATO”, the so-called defensive alliance that has carried out far more offensive operations in the past 3 decades than defensive ones, either as an alliance or as a coalition of its member states, to counter Russia. China and Russia alliance is a “threat” because it’s designed to pursue the national interests of both countries that don’t align with the US. Russia and North Korea alliance is a “threat” because they can no longer dictate what goes in the Korean Peninsula without receiving a push back. North Korea won’t go at it all alone (beside having China’s covert help) since Russia will openly help them.

@@eplmait3409 actually nato did and nato invaded and hijacked ukraine. usa is using ukraine and isreal as it's own proxies/subsidiaries. similar methods of how iran used/uses proxies of other nations that are generally easy nations to seize control of. these tactics are also used in big business where parent companies use subsidiary companies as proxies to do heavy crime in business which helps sheild the parent company from litigation. this is what usa is doing with countries as if it is similar tactics to big business. ukraine is a hotspot for these kinds of organized tactics because they have more trade leverage than most parts of the world, and world leaders want to seize control. but in the middle east alot of it has to do with oil. and middle east blew up world trade centers which says alot. etc. also usa is sending funds to taiwan(without a good explaination), where usa has historically sent funds later was a war in the region. why because the funds helped set up the war, helped set up the ability to use another nation as a proxy. etc. when it's all said and done usa actually is one of the biggest reasons these wars have started. not really russia. it's soveiregn nation minding it's own business and usa sent alot of funds to provoke a war.
