You can't seriously compare Russia and NATO by military power. They are competent to keep small regions under control, but they don't have even a small portion of the world wide power that NATO has.

It's not a buzzword just because you want to keep it a secret.

Meta has absolutely best interest in removing any democracy in US since it profits from abusing rights of the citizens that would very much like to regulate it. So it is in their interest, like of any company, to strip away it's workers and customers of any rights it possibly can.

Don't fall for tricks of politicians when they pretend that they are any better from politicians from another country, they are not, they just have more influence in the media to elevate problems in other countries and minimize the problems in their own.

You clearly see this as a game. You know exactly what I said and you are running away from it, just to have some kind of play of semantics like that somehow communicates some greater point. I really have no idea what is the point of this comment of yours.

I don't think you understand the point of view people critisizing Biden. Democrats are the ones that put Trump in power, just so they can have an easier elections and don't have to place more popular candidates to run against them. Voting for Biden is simply accepting defeat, that their plan worked and that they can do absolutely anything and you will support them because they will also support a worse candidate on the other side at the same time. It is not looking at the big picture, long term. In the future they can get someone like Trump to be a Democrat candidate and support someone even worse on the Republican side and you will have to vote for them under exactly the same situation. Democrats have a candidate that literarlly funds a genocide and we would think that once that line is crossed people would simply say that is enough, but apparently even Hitler would be elected in US elections as long as he places someone worse as prime candidate of another party.

Google owns Youtube (and gmail, most popular mail provider). You should think more deeply about what ads are and what are governments motivations. It is both the same thing. Google and META want power, they want money, because money is a voting power for allocation of resources in the society. Chinese governments want power, so they can have more money and more voting power for allocations of their resources.

The nationality of people in these governments doesn't matter at all to them. Chinese government doesn't care about regular Chinese citizens no more then US government does about their own. They simply care for their own power/money. And that is their interests.

Google and META work with the governments, they have actual NSA offices and follow any orders from the government, just like TikTok does. The problem here has nothing to do with what country it is in, it is simply that one set of rich folks are bothered that they can't control something other rich folks are controlling. People, in both cases, suffer and have no power whatsoever in the process.

Organization can't be better then it's members that are controlling it.

Well if you claim that you are attacked by "Terrorism" and you declare war on it, you can make any invasion a defensive action. That is my point, in theory it is defensive, but they can twist it any way they want to make it offensive. Also if you go around the World claiming you are there to stop a genocide (ironically while funding a genocide yourself) just so you can send your army there, than you have no reason for CIA not to just finance some genocidal maniacs on one side to justify you going in there to "save" them (like Israel funded Hamas, and HIlary funded Trump). This is not even legally clean, just ignoring the laws when they don't suit your interests.

So what are your views on liberals that support Biden regardless of his funding of genocide in Palestine? To me it seems exactly like this mind set of "we can't fix this, lets just not let their problem spill over to us".

This nationalism that you are maybe by mistake promoting is a tool for people in power to give them more power and not unite together against them. Stabilization of a country you are talking about is unfortunately stability of the rich politicians to rule over poor people while they suffer and die. That is a stable system that we shouldn't defend. This system shouldn't be stable, it should crumble and people of all nations should unite in their fight against their politicians, not foolishly support their leaders just because they are from their own region.

Russian, Chinese and US government have more in common then any of their citizens do with their governments. Same goes for politicians inside a country, like Biden and Trump. They fight each other for more power, but they easily unite against people that threaten their power. Don't think for a second that if US citizens went against their government, Biden (or Trump) wouldn't ask for (and receive) support from Russian and Chinese government.

It is not US vs China or Russia, it is governments vs the people. Other narratives are just tools to divide people, nationalism was built for this purpose. For centuries regular people didn't feel like part of a certain nation, it was years of successful propaganda that got people thinking like they have more in common then just some same tyrant ruling over them.

CCP is better than the US. You’re implying you’re a TikTok user Not even close. Never used TikTok in my life, I have no reason to believe CCP is any better then US either. I don't think you should assume that when someone is critisizing one group is automatically support another, this is exactly what everyone in power is using as propaganda to discredit any critique of them.
