We in the US have met the enemy, and they are us.

All the best to Russia and China, and for the rest of the world. Africa will have its day too.

[kevintownsend]

The US is finished and we have none to blame for the countries demise but the politicians and the way they've gone around the world being bullies.

[PerceivedREALITY]

US wanted to make a fool out of Russia and China. But instead, the US made a fool of itself. Let that be a lesson.

I'm from Serbia and I stopped buying western hi-tec products, I'm fine with Chinese

More power to Russia and China for World Peace !!

As a Brazilian, I am fully in support of a multipolar world. I reject US-EU hegemony, double standards and crimes. I urge the brazilian people and leaders to deepen relations with this ideology and institutional actions in UN with Russia, China and many others.
US-EU must pay for its crimes against humanity, for its colonial intents, racial supremacy and genocides. The indigenous tupinambá people in Brazil used to call portuguese "peró", which means "without a soul" - that is how I and many other see them and their actions across the world.
We, majority of the world, brothers and sisters whose communities have been expoited, killed, marginalized, we must unite and make the west pay for its actions against humanity and the earth.
Viva latinoamerica! Viva o Sul Global!

The hug between Xi and Putin upset Biden so much that he decided to play the Taiwan card on May 20th.

The World is sick of the US Mafia regime !!!

Very impressed with this document and the union of Russia 🇷🇺 and China 🇨🇳. I am proud of these two countries standing up to the US AND THE WESTERN POWERS .

Top marks for your work Ben. I stand with BRICS+ and strongly oppose Australian subservience to the US Empire and colonial Europe. I fight for an Australian independent foreign policy with co-operation and trade with Asia/China not the destructive US war machine.

China keep building cheap and affordable products for the Global South. Even transfer technology to the Global South to produce basic goods for self sufficient and self sustain. Teach to fish eat a live time.

How would UK feel if Argentina took the Falklands and then China started supplying weapons and aid to them.

[roninnotasheeplikeyou.]

US, UK & EU are slipping off into the abyss. ☠️☠️☠️

Mr Ben Norton, Iam
a big fan of you and your In fact you are one rare western individual I truly respect... By the way I am an African woman who is firmly pro China and pro Russia because of historical reasons. My family feel the same as I do, my siblings and their families feel the same as I do. My relatives and friends feel the same too. We of the global south are fed up and sick and tired of the bullying bulldogs in the west. Long live Russia, China and the global south who are almost 89 % of the global population. Continue with the good videos you bring out, they are very well researched and presented, factual and without the hysterics I see from many of your fellow Americans. I have recommended your channel to many in my black African community.... They are very impressed, as normally they will say oh isn't this another video from a racist, but when they watch they have become hooked.

I won’t be fighting their wars anymore. They’re on their own.

[friggakarl]

Nice to hear this : "the hegemonic order is relegated to the dustbin of history" thank you Ben ! we keep fighting for it.

[chxnswitch]

With what very little credibility the US had they blew with the unwavering support for Israel.
