• sorry for misunderstanding you. i use the term “the west” as a political term meaning the us and their european allies, not a cultural one. i also wanna stress that my distain refers exclusively to the regimes ruling this area, not the common population.

      I for one am not fond of the infighting or corruption in any nation right now. Even if you subtract all the things that are unclear (such as the motives to take Ukraine, the extent of guilt of Israel, etc.) due to people waging misinformation wars, it’s still pretty indicative and unsettling to hear certain leaders threaten nuclear strikes out in the open. China is the only Eastern enemy of the West that hasn’t done this habitually.
