LINK Russia: World No Longer Trusts U.S. to Lead, It's Time Others Step in to Stop 'Blackmail and Pressure'
Interesting article. No surprise to those not Trumpized, I'm guessing. If the U.S. makes it another 18 months without some sort of global or civil conflict, it'll be purely accidental.

America is currently in a leadership void, which is most likely going to be corrected at the next election. Russia is functionally a dictatorship longing for the good old days of the USSR and her domination over 1/4 of the globe. There's a lot less to trust there.

THHA:
The USA is an imperialistic corporate military plutocratic dictatorship . . . . You do not see Russia invading so many other countries, stealing their resources, bombing the hell out of them, supporting dictatorships like the Saudis, supporting Israel, an apartheid, racist regime, spreading depleted uranium all over, using white phosphorous, creating refugees, attempting coups, in other words, breaking so many international laws it is hard to count them all, attempting to take over the world, and even risking nuclear war . . . . if that is better, I'd like to know what it is that is worse.
.
Then . . . the "next election" will correct things . . . ??? That is a pipe dream . . . . when has electing a different president stopped what the USA is doing overseas? The drones keep droning, the bombs keep falling, the money keeps going to the Zionists pigs, and the international community continues to suffer under the lawlessness of the US regime.
@THHA Then I didn't see Russia annexing Crimea, supporting Iraq and Iran, supporting Bashar al-Assad as he suppresses his own people...
@SeaGreenEyez You're kidding, right? The notion that America had anything to do with the creation of ISIS has been so thoroughly debunked that I'm not even going to bother with providing a link. Russia's influence is being exerted to help Assad stay in power and preserve their own ally, not for any humanitarian reason. Assad is a kindred spirit to Putin; he saw the chance to gain influence in the region by supporting another dictator against American-supported democratic forces.
"The man that stopped America from starting WWIII"? The man that stopped faulty Soviet radar equipment from starting WWIII, according to the link. It's not as if America controlled the sun reflecting off the clouds and confusing the Soviet radars. There were no missiles launched; none; zero; so how did we try to start a war, exactly?
THHA:
@ Paul How many Russians have you spoke with? How many Syrians have you spoke with?
THHA:
OK, so you haven't. That means you are relying on information from one culture-centric source, you know, kind of like the Christians rely only on the bible, rather than considering that the world just might be a bit bigger then their parochial, hillbilly ignorance-induced bubble they create full of nothing more than wishful thinking. So in essence, you are still following the Christian way . . . .
We in the west have done this to ourselves, since the turn of the century the arrogance and self entitlement of our political decision makers have lead to one catastrophic decision after another.
Instead of learning from the likes of Mitterrand and Berlusconi moral and criminal corruption we went ahead and tried to better the lesson.
Capitalism has run wild like a child given free access to a credit card and an unfiltered internet and is no longer a tempered ideology, but the economics of gluttony.
Our resources are running out and rather than face the truth we simply pretend nothing CAN change, because nothing has changed for so very long.
The same goes for pending enviromental disaster and failing antibiotics in the face of evolving pathogens, natural and man made.
We are running headlong in to our own extinction event biological and sociological, pedal to the metal acceleration, sun glasses on and rock and roll drowning out the warning voices as our gung ho attitude of better dead than settle for less heads for the cliff edge like an international version of Thelma and Louise.
