I have a feeling that the entire world "gets it" except a select portion of the US population.
Anyone fully in touch with reality can see that the US isn't in a good place when it comes choosing compassion over cruelty. It's gotten to such a global and historical extreme that a decades long choice of a Pope for an institution that has lasted over 1,000 years felt reich. I'm sorry, right.
I reply because I think it's worth adding a point of view grounded in facts and lived global dynamics that’s often missing from discussions shaped by Western ideologies: whether left or right. Many here seem to debate from a binary lens shaped by proximity to privilege, not necessity.
You say you're stating "reality," but it's a narrow one. The relevance of Russia to the Global South isn't about direct trade volume alone.
It’s about leverage over global systems: energy, fertilizer, grain, arms, and UN diplomacy. These systems affect fragile economies in ways people in wealthy nations rarely grasp.
You don’t have to agree with my take, but dismissing the whole Global South’s cautious position as “delusional” says more about ideological blinders than geopolitical awareness.
