So lets push Russia and China closer together.

[@TheKkpop1]

Read the Bible that Iron (the 3rd Rome) and clay (the soft power) don't mix but will stick together in the end time. Daniel 2:43-44 (ASV) 43 And whereas thou sawest the iron mixed with miry clay, they shall mingle themselves with the seed of men; but they shall not cleave one to another, even as iron doth not mingle with clay. 44 And in the days of those kings shall the God of heaven set up a kingdom which shall never be destroyed, nor shall the sovereignty thereof be left to another people; but it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand for ever.

They are already doing it by themselves, they want to stick together because the US is too strong for either of them, so they can't expand their empire. And throw in there Iran and North Korea too just for their hate of the US.

Kinda embarrassing that NATO have to call Australia and NZ partners rather than allies when they both had boots on the ground in Europe when NATO's founders won all those years ago. I'd argue that NATO owes them membership and have owed them that since before it existed but just haven't yet grown to that scale.

[@chrisbecker5472]

Defend itself by invading its neighbours periodically. That's a dishonest Kremlin talking point. Have you stopped to ask any of their neighbours? They are all sick of being invaded. And the US invasions were evil in many eyes too so stop trying to legitimize their "over reaction" wars as well. This one comment is horrible on multiple levels and wrong. If NATO was the reason for invading Ukraine why wasn't Estonia invaded in the early 2000s when their border is on 200km from St Petersburg? Your shilling for the Kremlin. Bravo. 300 years of oppression and murder of their neighbours, your like its all NATOs fault. 🤡

Also, the U.S. didn't annex any of those nations it "invaded", they neutralized the danger and left a somewhat independent group to take care of the country. If it didn't work for Afghanistan, it's simply because of the incompetency and corruption of its people. Iraq has somehow managed to reduce the presence of ISIS, but there is much work to do.
