What does this have to do with both of them repeatedly instigating territorial disputes with their neighbors? Granted the US certainly isn't a saint in that regard but its been quite a while since the Mexico stuff.
Annexing pieces of neighbors and defying US economic interests seem like fairly disjoint activities to me.
- wiseowise 10mo agoThat’s because you misunderstand the terminology. They’re talking propaganda and “submissiveness” means something else in their language. There’s a weird fetishism across Russia: everything is centered around gay sex. There’s no cooperation in the world, either you take it and become “petukh” (cock) or you give it and become “pakhan” (shot caller).
- usrusr 10mo agoMatches an observation of mine that skips the prison lingo: lack of the concept of friendship without any power gradient that would make it more like a liege/vassal relation than like an alliance between equals. I wonder if that might be an echo of communism, which likely claimed all elements in the Russian language that were related to equal relations and effectively burned them for regular use?
