The BRICS partnership (Of which China is a key player) encompasses almost 50% of the world’s population, and their Belt and Road initiative is a soft power wet dream.

The world has actually already become multipolar, but most Western media won’t make that clear because they are still stuck in the old Colonial mindset of Captialist-Democracy = 100% civilized / Not-a-Capitalist-Democracy = 100% backwards.

There’s a YouTube version now: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GfqLcBwUT_E

I partially wanted to show that, as twisted as Fox news is, they are at least hosting this interview without (much) bias on their front page. It’s important, as this is what most of their audience will see of Zelenskyy, and this is essentially as “primary” the source can get.

Ah cheers, misread that!

“Democracy dies on live TV” - wow that headline hits hard.

Watching this feels like a masterclass of diplomacy. Zelenskyy is talking directly and respectfully to the Fox audience, while trying to clearly explain why Ukraine can’t just bow down to faulty peace deals without question.

This was in the same speech where he said that the Holy Spirit was working through Trump to do all of this, and that Trump should have a third term and beyond.

It’s becoming obvious that we should be treating Trumpism as a religious cult, not just a political movement.

Yeah, totally agree with you there.

Do think the Coalition are still going to go with the “Dutton will have the exact attitude of Trump” campaign?

The US president simply saying these words puts huge numbers of people in the middle east at risk. Even many of his own voters are shocked, because he promised America First. Just because there is a lot of shit happening, doesn’t make this any less fucked.

In Australia, we even just had Pauline Hanson say this is a bad idea.

For context, she is a white non-Muslim politician who once wore a burqa into parliament to make a point. Even she is against Trump on this one.

I mean, a huge number of his own supporters are questioning this. I wouldn’t call this a viable strategy.

It would be hilarious if they chose this moment to shut it down.

Calling on everyone else in the West and the global economy: keep your eyes open for opportunities to support the Canadian and Mexican people.

They are standing up to this corruption and fighting it where it stands. This is going to hit them hardest first, and they deserve our support.
