A hilarious cope article from The Hill (thehill.com)

In a rather ironic twist, as Europe slips into recession and Russia's economy flourishes, we see articles attempting to assert that Russia will suffer from losing its ties with the West.

This demonstrates an astonishing lack of understanding on behalf of Western nations towards the Global Majority and their ability to thrive without reliance on the West.

Likewise, the analogies drawn with the Cold War are utterly baseless, as the situation today is diametrically opposed - during the Cold War, the West was the dominant economic powerhouse, while now it is the BRICS that hold sway.

William Courtney is an adjunct senior fellow at the nonprofit, nonpartisan RAND Corporation, and was U.S. ambassador to Kazakhstan and Georgia and senior advisor at the Helsinki Commission.

This guy is 70 years old, and from his resume it seems like he ought to know a few things, yet here we are.

I get the impression he's still living in the Cold War. 😂

There's a whole industry of "Sovietologists" who had nothing to do after the Cold War ended, so now they try to relive the glory days in US newspapers.
