Let trade run free. Tie your currency to the U.S. dollar. Align your foreign policy with America’s. The U.S. and its Western partners wrote these economic rules, a cornerstone of the world order prevailing since World War II.

War is profitable. We need to make war less profitable. Then grievances will be solved by other means. Destroying the Western imperialist system will go a long way to making that a reality.

Russia is the 2nd biggest weapons dealer in the world, China is the 4th, so for me that "Western imperialist system" part is hollow. We cannot bring down every large government of the world and simultaneously solve every tribal grievance.

Your standards are off. Weapons dealer is not the standard. The West dominated 80% of the world's entire population. The standard is not weapon sales it's using war to expand and fund with global western order
