The other international news you give are true. They show that democratic values are less and less standards and that West is attacked on all fronts. You could have added the support of Russian Wagner group to African dictatorships, paid with precious stones and rare minerals. The will of China and Russia to build a multi-polar world is legitimate, the means they are using are not. They aim to build a totalitarian world and that makes me very afraid. ---

Thats totalitarian No, they are peace keepers. Why are you comparing US intentions with China’s intentions? US is not in any country as an occupier, but by request from that government. Is NATO an occupying force? ---
