"I come here in a spirit of friendship to explain the mechanisms of our sanctions, the importance of joining us to express shared resolve and to advance shared interests. And yes, there are consequences to countries that actively attempt to circumvent or backfill these sanctions," he said, also noting that India and Russia are looking to get around the sanctions using their own payment system.
"We are very keen for all countries, especially our allies and partners, not to create mechanisms that prop up the ruble and that attempt to undermine the dollar-based financial system," he said.
I come here humbly requesting you to remain poor by spending 3x the bargain price Russia is offering you for oil in the name of peace and wanting to be part of the cool western kids.
"undermine the dollar-based financial system”
Ah yes, the singular financial system we have worldwide where everyone uses the US dollar because the USA is in charge of everything :what-the-hell:
What a bunch of fucking ghouls
yeah, that stood out to me to. the US really does think it's in charge of the world. and most Americans do too.
It effectively has been, and it is glorious to see that seriously challenged.
I am so giddily looking forward to watching them get disabused of that notion.
The US really thinks they are in charge of the entire world. Do what we want! Fuck you, that's why.
"India, one of Russia's main Cold War partners, " :jesse-wtf: :jesse-wtf: :jesse-wtf: :jesse-wtf: :jesse-wtf: :jesse-wtf:
IIRC they weren't cold war "partners", but the USSR sent tons of aid to India and they've always been grateful to the USSR and by extension Russia for that. There are dudes in India named "Stalin". Do nice stuff for people and they will do nice stuff for you, who knew that actually good foreign policy was that simple?
I mean, it's beneficial and plain common sense for a socialist country to help out another socialist country in a world dominated by capital. Of course, it doesn't have to be mutually exclusive. It serves that role and accomplishes the selflessness inherent in Communism.
Starting an economic war with Russia, China, and India as a bit.
Doing it for the… checks notes…. Nazis of….checks notes….the Ukraine
I mean Ukraine is just a proxy battleground for the US/NATO to try to tear Russia apart so they can gorge on the remains. Any state on Russia's border would do, it just happens that Ukraine is the nation-state that is geographically relevant.
So uh... Am I the only one who has to pause literally every 2 seconds of video to read let alone understand the jokes?
Why do India and China, the bigger countries, not simply eat the US? :large-adult-son:
The west is so bad at diplomacy that they're going to drive India and China closer lmao
Unparalleled hubris from unchallenged dominance + failchildren nepotism in governance
So was Putins plan to just have America go ape shit and collapse it’s world order?
He isn’t playing 5D chess, he isn’t even aware, just vibing and wanting to kill people To live longer like Kissinger.
64% of 320 million Aryan Burger Jihadists vs nearly 2 billion people + 150 million in Russia India and Chinaaa who would win
A day does not pass where I do not wish even more greatly than the last day for the death of the US.
Today is the most Marg Bar Amrika day of all time, a record which will be broken by every subsequent day.
They represent the international community in the same way gangsters represent the communities that pay them protection money.
Looking forward to America being the one who is isolated and sanctioned by the rest of the world :)
Russia, China, and India together are just less than half of the world population. So they're not there yet
I'm pretty sure Biden and the rest of the gerontocrats still think it's the 80s.
If you look closely enough at neoliberals and especially the neoliberal ruling class, they haven't stopped chasing the dragon that was that moment of feeling invincible and omnipotent that they felt just after the USSR collapsed and Silicon Valley started being subsidized into existence.
To them, the world is forever the American Empire, the ruins of the dead USSR and all the charming and quirky antics those ex-commies get up to, a weird and scary and sneaky China, some angry brown people in the desert that hate freedom, and mud huts and gullible mud hut dwellers positioned directly above caches of resources.
