I love democracy, but rigged democracy helps no one. That countries let smart people agree on rulership is not horrible, especially if oligarchy is controlled instead of being in charge. That we loved Russia under Yeltsin and hate it under Putin is exclusively that Yeltsin loved western corruption.
Germany is not an empire, but has cultural ties to Austria, Swiss. They are more powerful than those neighbours, but if Germany reduce US subservience, US would be welcome to come to manipulate/select German neighbour rulerships to destabilize Germany. Any anti-German faction, or like Ukraine, anti-German speakers in their country, would get all the money and weapons.
Russia is not an empire. It would like to have a sphere of influence with friends, but it definitely needs its neighbours to not be US empire agents bent on destabilizing it into civil war.
China is not an empire either. It makes foreign investments that are better than any US offers. US is the one that uses extortion and bribery of puppets it installs the most.
The free world is the world that doesn't have the US select its rulers. But keep on rocking. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DvxxdZpMFHg
Instead of allowing the US government to continue to bully and threaten countries around the world, its Western allies must team up with friends in the Global South not just to force the United States into line, but to tackle the power of its out-of-control tech industry once and for all.
There is a big focus on US tech profits taken out of colonies. A bigger issue is political control. X/Meta going full MAGA with explicit favouritism on cultural issues and political parties in the colonies is an opposing force to the traditional CIA media controlling the worst moderate politicians in all of the colonies to support US wars. The far right tends to be NATO "skeptics" , and USAID (which Musk just terminated) is a CIA front.
The core "moderate brainworm" that must be cured is "US is a force for good with liberal ideals". Not only has it just rigged an election for the most fascist pro Israel ruler, the previous administration had huge faults of its own. There is a "liberal supremacist" brainworm which accepts every warmongering lie to diminish "less liberal" nations, and specifically Russia no matter how far away USSR is in history. The brainworm is incapable of judging nations on the progress/prosperity it gives its nation, only that there are few political distractions on how to make world the least sustainable possible. If you want Russia to accept human sustainable policies, you need to stop waging war against it.
That the tech industry offers itself as a new media colonization scheme on "US friends" with MAGA/ethnic supremacist validations is a sharp contrast to the traditional US control messages, and the obviousness that in a sustainable world, immigration helps sustain your economy for the future, with "soft racism" helping keep the immigrants at lower end of hierarchy. In an unsustainable world going to shit, then investing in future is pointless, and might as well end child education to keep the Senior vote. Cannibalism is coming. The only reason to contradict the traditional control message of "US is a humanist partner", is that the US needs divisiveness and wars in Europe. Ukraine was pure awesomeness for the US. All of the CIA puppets STFUd about nordstream sabotage.
For sure countries need to significantly tax US tech profit extraction, but they need to significantly extort money from US to tolerate US presence there. Canada actually defends the US instead of the other way around. It hosts NORAD, including radar that protects US from Russian ICBMs. US needs to pay for NORAD. EU military bases are occupation bases. German government spying is done from such occupation. US needs to pay for privilege, or leave.
When pro US countries accept US enemies as their own enemies, that becomes their point of insecurity. They only need US help in their defense, because they have chosen cooperating on demonic diminishment of the US's adversaries. The globe's enemy is the US empire. It has no love/humanity for anyone else.

I prefer nuclear war between Russia and US, to Canadian guerilla war no matter how confident you are of Canadians.
Trump/US complaining about "having to defend Canada" is purely and only because Canada lets US explain who our enemies are. Only actual enemy of Canada is the US as this weekend showed them to be.
By not treating US's enemies as Canada's enemies, then Canada, through NORAD, is the one defending the US. Demanding the US to pay significantly for the privilege of Canada defending them is necessary from an enemy. Nuclear weapons are a cheap and effective way of saying "STFU asshole", and a path to ending wars quickly. US economy/debt level is incapable of absorbing a single nuclear strike. Fucking around is an insufficient response to their fucking around.
I'm sure that means BFFs again. Never forget, and threats won't stop. Canada must diversify.
and the more a country bans bitcoin, the more there is craigslist or localbitcoin hookup sites.
It only angers your intelligence officials if it is advice. "Not advice" means begging to stay friends. I advise staying friends, overtly, with NSA, to make sure that first they come for others.
Bitcoin is best. Can theoretically keep your wallet seed in your head instead of paper or on phone. Anything physical is subject to border guards or other transporation/exgress/ingress assisters.
Because China "leveraged" US technology 20 years ago, US politicians bring it up as a current shittalking point still. Deepseek, being open source, is opportunity for Americans to gain technology transfer from China, without "stealing".
There is a desperation to protect US AI, mostly so that AI companies are indebted into serving the empire, and maybe the GOP,
Something AI is extremely capable today is deciding who to ban on reddit, or at the individual voter level, decide who should be turned away from elections. Recent US election had record voter suppression and forced provisional ballots that were never counted. Previously, black was a sufficient suppression incentive. AI makes it easy to target individuals or other factors. Musk, being praised for understanding "election machines", now with access to SS numbers and an ability to link to voters or views on Israel/genocide, is a super power that ensures being king maker in perpetuity.
