    Because the country suffered an American coup d'état in 2014. The coup was used to install an anti-Russian government and repress progressive forces, like the Communist Party of Ukraine. After 2014, Ukraine ceased to be an independent country, and became a proxy of the US. A proxy to be used in Washington's strategy of encircling and destroying Russia. This war was always going to happens, but Russia invaded Ukraine to make sure it happens on Russia's terms, instead of American.

    Also imo, the dream of an independent Ukraine is long gone. Because of US interference, Ukraine can only survive by being a part of Russia, or by remaining a lackey of the US and EU.

    Edit: I meant "lack of knowledge" that technical analysis is based on probabilities. Even if you do everything right, there's still a significant chance that the market goes against you. Which is when a lot of traders end up getting their accounts blown out. Brokers also give noob traders tools like leverage and margin, which only makes it more likely for people to lose everything in one bad trade.

Also shows how much lack of critical thinking there is in the West. They only know neoliberal capitalism and can't envision a society that functions differently.

Instead of fighting for better salaries and oppression, the liberals convince the workers that the solution, is for them to become the oppressors by opening a business. Instead of fighting oppression, the liberal solution is to instead replicating it, but with you on top.

    Best country to host a private VPN server?

    What countries do you think would be less likely to disclose your private data? I was thinking of either Switzerland or Belarus. But here's some things to consider: - Don't assume that just because countries have bad relations that they won't share private information with each other. For example, in 2021 the Mayor of Lisbon disclosed personal information of Russian immigrants in Portugal with the Russian government. This was an act of incompetence which resulted in a 1.2M€ fine. But the damage was done. - Even if there are laws in place, the hosting company might have sloppy procedures in place and disclose your private information. - The country should also not be the target of heavy sanctions because you might get in trouble for trying to do business with them. So which countries do you recommend?

    Collapse of the US (circa 2050)

    Decided to have some fun and balkanize the US. If the filthy liberals can have fun balkanizing China and Russia, then so can I with the US. I'll follow the Legend order: - **Florida**: Is an independent country. It's pretty much a fiscal paradise and tourist resort. Suffers with drug cartels which emerged after the fall of the US. The worst are the ones run by Cuban gusanos, which were forced to resort to crime when their US state funded subsidies went dry. - **Bible Belt**: As backwards and reactionary as you can imagine. Slavery is legalized against all non-whites. Christianity is the only legal religion. - **Free Men States**: These are regions that managed to break free from the Bible Belt. They frequently make armed incursions against the Bible Belt to free slaves and disrupt governamental operations. - **Native American Communes**: Similar to the Free Men States, but their larger Native American population banded together with common ideals and culture. They are in a state of unofficial war with the Bible Belt. - **New California Republic**: Has a large industry of high tech products, which it exports to several Asian countries. (Yes, the name is inspired by that game, you know the one). - **Soviet Union**: Yeah that's right. The Soviet Union is back and better than ever! Alaska just couldn't resist the offer and decided to join Russia. - **York Conglomerate**: Modeled itself after the EU (which no longer exists). It portrays itself to be a beacon of civilization in a sea of chaos and savagery, which it claims the rest of the US to be. If Canada falls, it has the daunting task of being the last bastion of white liberal civilization that's left on the planet! - **Canada**: It's still Canada, but its proximity to the Soviet Union is causing instability in the country. Many worker strikes are occurring across the nation. - **Great Midwest**: What's left of the US. These states are more or less independent with mostly local governments. Their economies rely on resource extraction and farming. They are suffering with mass emigration to their border regions. Many towns and villages only have old people left. There are a lot of lawless regions in this zone. - **Hawaii**: It's still the same but an independent country. **EU**: The EU dissolved in 2025. Following Russia's victory in the Ukrainian war, the EU was left with massive debt and crippling electricity prices that forced its industrial sector to relocate to the US. After the war many Nazi combatants felt betrayed by the EU and vowed to make the Europeans pay for such betrayal. Terrorist acts devastated what was left of the EU. Some governments, like Germany's, even ceased to exist! Following the massacre of 2027 where Ukronazi terrorists managed to bomb and kill the entire German cabinet of ministers. Many politicians fled the country for fear of further reprisals, and the country was left in a state of shock and disarray. This devastation lasted decades. Many Nazi terrorists eventually formed street gangs and mafias. However, in 2050 when the terrorism has finally subsided, a new wave of leftist militias have been ending these nazi gangs and establishing safe zones. Could this be a turning point for Europe? What about the rest of the world? It's actually doing pretty well. No longer oppressed by the boot of Western Imperialism many countries managed to develop their economies and mostly eradicate poverty. Socialism and Social Democracy are the reigning ideologies in the world. Global Warming has mostly been resolved. While extreme weather events still persist, climate apocalypse has been avoided. Humanity is also venturing into other planets in the solar system. A new Space Age is beginning and the future looks bright!

    I'm sure some of you have seen these types of [posts](https://www.asiamarkets.com/exposed-china-concentration-camp-as-far-as-the-eye-can-see/). We can't expect much from the idiots that write these articles. But there have been multiple posts on Twitter, of supposedly massive Chinese internment camps. If we know something about the Chinese government is that they plan ahead. They know that if they open the economy, they'll have a colossal number of infections. These buildings are very likely hospitals or quarantine zones where the infected will be sent to receive appropriate medical care. Of course Westoids can't imagine what it's like to live in a country where the government actually thinks of the future and cares about the lives of it's own people. So their conclusions are as shortsighted as their governments. I think the Chinese government is going to do a full reopening of the country and try to be as ready as possible, since their economy can't continue to operate like this. What do you guys think?

    When you're so afraid of a north korean girl telling about her daily life in the DPRK, that you must ban her channel multiple times and viciously discredit anything she says.

    For those of you who don't know, "Echo of Truth" was the channel of a North Korean girl, making vlog videos about her daily life in the DPRK. Since her channel started getting too popular, YouTube banned her multiple times. Now I find that even the WSJ had to attack her. I think this shows that Western Media is quite fragile and pathetic.
