… try… they’re going to try to take over Taiwan.

No, they would very thoroughly lose. China's in no condition to take on the US, let alone decouple its economy from the global community.

"global" is turning out to be a small handful of countries, and the other block is actively securing the rest of the world into their influence

Hahaha sure thing mate.

China and Russia have funded and installed infrastructure to increase the quality of life (as in, keep the politicians elected, as well as put into their debt and influence) of most countries that aren't either directly touching America, a part of Western Europe, or down Australia way.

So US, Canada, Mexico, a lot of South America, the Philippines, South Korea, Vietnam, Singapore, Taiwan, UK, Ireland, Scotland, all of the EU (27 countries with an 18 trillion gdp), any other western aligned or NATO countries Norway, Iceland, Australia and more…

Versus china and a country with a smaller economy than Texas… you got things backwards.

Hahahaha oh fucking hell that is hilarious.

Like you actually made me legitimately laugh, thanks for that.

care to elaborate? i agree with the sentiment but laugh is not an argument

They laugh because there is no logical argument. They distract and make fun of it so you dont bother to actually look it up to see the numbers for yourself.

Take a look at which countries get heavy investments from China and Russia, then take a look at voting records in the UN on issues that are favourable to Russia or China.

You see the same thing in the western voting block, which has more influence at the moment. You can see how change is difficult when the whole world wants something but one white guy doesnt.

I'm not going to spend my effort arguing with someone with such out there believes.

It's like arguing with a flat earther, why bother? They've decided what they want to know and that's that.
