Many countries are shifting their attention to China, Russia et al relations, in a positive way.
This should prompt America to think about why many nations are starting to shift focus away from them.
But it won't because they're too arrogant.

In the past few weeks the US, UK and Australia have all recently published claims in their respective media of being the target of hacking group "Volt Typhoon", attributing the responsibility to China.
China refutes the claim.
I find it very odd the media articles published in US, UK and Australian media all follow the same narrative, are running similar headlines and read almost the same, only changing the name of the country claiming to be targeted.
Who is really engaging in propaganda here?

Well this is a very interesting meeting, indeed.

More sinophobic American propaganda exerted through baseless smears against Chinese companies without citation of a single shred of evidence, only a set of hypotheticals.

Like I've continued to say, democracy is dead because we killed it.
It should be no surprise authoritarian regimes are united, because clearly democratic nations aren't.
I'm starting to question were we ever united?
If we were as united as we tried to claim, would democracy be dead?
So many questions yet unanswered.
We indeed live in chaotic times.

I don't believe a word Russia says.
And I don't believe a word the US says.

Kinda odd the most calm, least hysterical media report on the assassination of the leader of Hamas is coming out of the Tehran Times.

The US is strengthening defense cooperation with Australia.

One of the most embarrassing aspects of Western democracy is governments expecting us - the People - to accept their word as truthful.

Nobody lies to you more than your own government.
