Russia and China are not needing to prove anything. It is USA that needs to prove something. I struggle to see this freedom and democracy that the Western people bring. It is the right to invade countries, strip their government down, sell off their social structures, and then force them to pay for the education that used to be free and pay for power that is now the most expensive in the European area? China does not need to attract investment into its coutry and its technologies. You are thinking like some American Capitalist. They are not the same as you in any way. Their economic structures are totally different than any other country. And your comments about the system that is enabling American surpessed countries to get back on their feet, educate their people, and sell their products in larger markets, I think you should stop watching CNN and start researching what benefits most of the countries of the world and why they are not using US dollars anymore. Good luck living in your old school white mans dream world. China is dominating and USA is passed its expiry date. Get with the times. The corruption is everywhere, and that is not the point. The point is that China has outplayed the West.

wow. Another article from the American;s spreading rumors that Europe will be fine after all the bullshit the US proxy war has caused. America has acomplished what it set out to do, brought Britain to it's knees and now the EU is following. The heads of the EU are in the pocket of America and this winter will not go well for the civilians not matter what CNN says.

I beleive that you need to do some more research on this subject. You seem to base your opinion on a strictly Western view of world history. What of Ukrainian's bombing the regions for the past 8 years? What of the clearly Nazi loving criminals that are running the country? The list goes on... The west is very much blind to the Russian strategies, Ukrainian strategies as well as anything else that stands to benefit the USA having control over the EU economies and anything near by. Your comment about post WWII aggressor's is interesting as well. Have you tried looking at what the USA has done to African countries as a starter? If you are looking for examples of terrible acts of crime in wars, you do not need to look further than your home country. They are top of the list for this and are great at telling their people at home the opposite. War is not right and to support it in any manor should be avoided at all costs. This war epecially, could have been concluded long ago with a lot less Ukrainain's dead.

The problem is the zoom is basically open to anyone to join a meeting. Teachers have had naked men show up on zoom meetings. I bet you would think twice if that started happening to your meetings.

"It is absolutely in my interest to cripple them. I have zero faith that they will not do the exact same thing the next time they think they can get away with it." So you take a company that is spread across the world supplying much more than just diesel cars, and cripple it.....? I admire your American attitude towards business but it does not work. Why not take a very successful company and work with it to improve on the obvious issues with the auto industry. This is an opportunity to make a change and create awareness.
