America is run by narcissistic psychopaths.
The thing with narcissists is that they are unable to empathize with others or see the world from a lense different from theirs.
And the cure to narcissisms is severe humiliation and humbling.

@Vermillion-Rx The age where a single power can just make an internal vote and then go smash another country on the other side of the planet is going to be calming down for a bit. So that said, while Russia is in the medium term basically the strongest military on the planet, they're not able to just beat everyone up.
America is strangely comparing Russia to America's peak, or even how America perceived itself at its peak, which was basically Desert Storm. Iraq got stomped so hard that it was really quite scary for anyone who could potentially be on the other side of that. America is comparing Russia to America's peak, and against its ideal enemy.
I like watching that Muslim youtube guy that @Lionsmane8 puts around because he very clearly points out America's hypocrisy and blind-spots. When you combine what that guy is saying with serious military men like Douglas Macgregor then what you get is a much more clear understanding that America can't seem to understand why Russia hasn't utterly barbarically done a form of "shock and awe" against Ukrainian cities by just absolutely fucking them and making them completely useless.
America is judging Russia through the lens of its own barbarity and couldn't for the longest time imagine why another large military wouldn't just be completely brutal if they had the means to do so. The only thing that they could conclude is that Russia must be that weak, because if they were strong then they'd be doing what Israel is doing to Gaza right now. These are people who have double-thought themselves into relying on compassionate totality, and are no longer capable of seeing kindness as kindness, or even that if Russia were to turn all of Ukraine into an overnight Gaza lego set that they would then have this on their border forever.
As America is failing quickly, they say that others who aren't occupying the staggering heights of its own previous glory are basically just bullshit paper tigers. They believe that if Russia was actually powerful, then they'd be in Warsaw or Germany by now, and since Russia is not, then Russia is bullshit.
These fucking people gloat about how "The World" is against Russia, and then they mock Russia when it partners with a small country. They say "Russia is so pathetic that it needs an ally. If Russia were actually strong then they would be able to defeat all of us without any help at all".
These are the weird traps that Americans fall into, and even the DC middling IQ puppet politicians believe it as well.
America is weird. They're sick, and they talk a lot of retarded shit.

@Lionsmane8 of course it was a hoax (as far as the fear mongering and agendas went) but my point is China was a pretext and still faced no consequences. They can just do it again. All it takes is one singular infection in one singular person and then it's a global problem and agenda again

Look, the covid hoax is just that a hoax.
I would not be surprised if it was concocted years in advance, precisely to advance global totalitarian measures on the whole planet.
Whether the Chinese were part of the plan, privy to it or it just happened on their soil, we'll never know for sure.
What matters are the objectives.

Third, China "releasing Covid" sounds like the most blatant and unimaginative warmongering propaganda.
Gates and Fauci both had relationships with the biolab in Wuhan. They probably put it there due to there being a restriction on "gain of function" research happening in America. It's still illegal for America to have anything to do with that, but it's really hard to pin that down on China when WHO and other serious billionaires and trillionare groups want to see it done.

That's just the thing - China is so much of a threat that western leaders are not even allowed to say they are a threat. That's how much of a threat China is.
I find this projects Western ambitions and behaviors onto China. Also, remember how Biden stuck his foot in his addled mouth and called Xi a dictator right after that San Francisco junket. The way they cleaned up SF streets for Xi but not for its own sake says more about USA stupidity than China might/threat.
As Col. MacGregor states, China doesn't want to go to war with other nations, they want to do business, and war is bad for that. Sure, they may become a trading partner akin to dating a manipulative BPD chick, but that's not the same as being a warmonger nation.

@lekt3333 Confronting fears and overcoming them. The resulting feelings somewhat spread and generalize across your persona. Joining a martial arts dojo is a good option here. Once you achieve some mastery here, in contentious situations you become unreactive and won't telegraph subconscious fear/submissive signals. This becomes a self feeding phenomenon.

Russia is not a global threat, seems like we agree on that. For the nukes I'm talking hypothetical. That's my point. UNLESS they used them. We don't need to conjecture about whether they would. The point was purely based on IF not likely to.
China allowed travel but locked down it's own cities, and it most likely leaked out of their own lab. Even if they didn't release it on purpose they knowingly enacted their own precautions after it was spreading but allowed travel out of their country. The WHO also has China's nuts in its mouth and carried water for China saying the virus doesn't spread to humans.
China faced no consequences for any of this negligence. They could do it again if they wanted to.

Ok, Russia is NOT a global military threat, for the simple reason that it does not have Hegemonic aspirations (that's an American thing). But, the Russian military is now the de facto number 1 military in the world.
Secondly, the Russian military doctrine (especially nuclear doctrine) is defensive, NO nuclear first strike. The nuclear threat comes almost exclusively from the USA that allows nuclear first strikes in its military doctrine. Furthermore, it was the USA (under Trump) that withdrew from the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty, essentially destroying the Soviet era mutually assured destruction and non-proliferation schemes (and forcing a new nuclear arms race).
Third, China "releasing Covid" sounds like the most blatant and unimaginative warmongering propaganda.
The USA is itching to start a war with China (and Iran) and would go to extreme lengths to stereotype, dehumanize and provoke its opponents to get into another war. False flags are not excluded (besides 9/11, look up the Gulf of Tonkin).
The fact that in this day and age the average westerner still falls for these old tricks is really scary to me.
