I believe if Americans want to abandon their allies because of the culture war propaganda, they should be also shown how much of the labor force in their new, alleged white savior friend, Russia, is made up of non-white people.




I think if America were whiter there would be a more unified desire to intervene in Europe. As it is America is not simply European ancestry . You underestimate how much sway the Latinos and blacks have. I can tell you that they literally do not care about Ukraine or Russia... Why should they?
