Jup and with the end of the soviet union, the need of a united wealthy europe became obsolete. Nationalists are not a threat to the usa, because they are much more easily set on their neighbors and bought off with promises of “great national rejuvenation”.

I assume the Finnafjord Port currently being built by germany is going nowhere?

Tsarist Russia, despite its later economical backwardness, was also a power in its own right. Germany fought WW1 because it feared Russia surpassing it, just as UK fought WW1 because the very same year germany’s economy surpassed the british one (not including the dominions)

I everytime I tried to communicate this to others they coped with something along the line of “oh the us would want a prosperous EU that is able to defend itself on its own” - no they only need the physical access to the continent for their military bases, a bunch of divided squabbling nationalist dictatorships which can be played against others, are hostile to each other due to nationalistic landgrabs and jocky for us money & weapons to be the biggest kid on the playground is a far more acceptable solution. A united prosperous EU with an united army is just as much of a threat to washington as russia is.

Well DUH its no longer important for the Ukrainians, because the frontline has shifted with a strategic victorious advancement backwards by the Ukrainians. Its that simple.

Obscure, but so was Traore. Usually you can “guess” if you look at their educational background - Morocco/France/West means that they are western puppets, local universities or Russia/China/Cuba means they tend to be sovereigntists. Or like the Madagascar coup leader who was part of an CIA training thingie, hilarious how some tried to dispute that as evidence for the grassroot nature of the one piece “revolutions”

Unknown but it could be coup a la Burkina Faso. Guinea-Bissau was ruled by revisionists communists turned “democratic socialist” aka neoliberals post-soviet union collapse. It was once a socialist country, with an anti-imperialist legacy. Though sadly it got quickly embroiled in a tug war between France vs the USA & the failed unifaction with Cape Verde along with racial tensions.

They also have their possessions in the Caribbean to worry about. The dutch & french as well. There has been some trouble and protests there.

Again this has been known since 50+ years

LOL its a pro-war austerity neolib government that will only boost fascism in the long term. Just because the PM will be gay doesnt mean its progressive. Spahn & Alice Weidel are both queer (sorry not queer just married to a woman in the latter) as well and faaaaar from progressive.
