The week's question
In March 2025, in the thread "Re: OT, out", Umm asked the members: "Do you think it is because America is made up of magical soil that makes businesses based in America magically profitable?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Alright.

The US expanded NATO to Poland and other E European countries.
The US has surrounded China with Taiwan, S Korea, Japan.
Imagine Russia-Canada-Mexico into an alliance against US.

As much as I love this country, I can't help but think that we love to start sh1t that other nations are responding to. They are not the aggressor. They are trying to create buffer zones against the West/NATO/US.

Ruslan Kyiv was the founder state for Russia, Ukraine and Belarus. Russia is not exactly invading a completely different country like Afghanistan.

US is doing what is in our best interest, bleed Russia through a country 1/4 its population and no hope of winning the war or even keeping its territory. It's good for us, in fact Ovama should have done it when Russia took Crimea. But the Ukrainian President was different then so maybe we couldn't.

It's all realpolitik. Maybe a little bit because white people are dying in Ukraine as opposed to Black people in bloody and gruesome African wars.
