The orange could not get even that right - usa is taken by russia and russia is slowly taken over by china.
Oceania, Eurasia, and East Asia.
(Oceania in this case being the USA’s domain, not China’s. When Nineteen Eighty-Four was written, the area consisting of Australia, New Zealand, Indonesia, Papua New Guinea, etc. was more commonly known as Australasia).
Australia competes in the Asian Cup, and in Eurovision. Whichever hegemony ends up with world domination, you can count on us joining them too.
We’re playing both sides so we always
come out on topsuck the dick of whoever is telling us what to doLots of dick sucking happens during Eurovision already.
Which year is it?
1984 I think
Russia’s sphere of influence is shrinking while they’re embroiled in Ukraine.
Wishing the same to any country tempted to invade neighbors.
Yup, Xi is looking to take advantage of Russia, and might just end up taking Siberia.
Don’t be distracted. Epstein files!!!
Except this is a continuing of American imperialism not a “distraction” i hate this constant saying.
The parroting of this line whenever the US commits an atrocity makes me furious. It’s a dark reminder of how little people value the lives of others.
The universe revolves around Americans. /s
Right now the Epstein files are a distraction to this.
Not really. The trump/epstein files can finally topple the cheeto
Meh. Most Americans don’t care about their president being a paedo, certainly not his supporters. By now it’s been factored in.
I think what they’re mainly trying to distract from is the bad economy, inflation and employment figures.
Yes Americans care their president is a pedo they just don’t believe it
They say they don’t believe it.
I assume plenty of his supporters know he fucked teenaged girls and secretly admire him for it.
Ah yes, because the Angloid yankees are at the centre of the known universe and everything revolves around them; how revolting
(If you are rage baiting, congrats, but please use a /s in the future)
It sucks to say but it’s gotten to the point where, fuck it. We all know what he is, and roughly what he did. We also know proof won’t change anything, so fuck it. He has created somehow bigger problems to be addressed, mission accomplished I guess.
The real problem trump is distracting from was himself all along 😔
Why should the rest of the world care?
Oceania, Eurasia, Eastasia.
Just gotta slighty redraw the line so that Airstrip One is properly part of Oceania.
EDIT: Derp, somebody already made that comment, I need my glasses :X
We were always at war with Eurasia
This may have a lot of truth, except that US hold on Europe is absolute through political and media control. Every elected leader/party only understands US subservience, and will ensure that media remainst Atlantacist with Russophobia as the distraction for tyranny.
Global south is a much bigger market than tying yourself to US collapse. In 2014, Germany simultaneously prepared Ukraine for war on Russia, with BS acceptance of Minsk accords as a delay tactic for war, while providing loan guarantees for nordstream 2. The level of suicidal devotion to US knows no bounds, and its doubtful there will be meaningful objections to giving Greenland to its master, even when the only purpose for US control is closer attack launches on Europe.
Europe’s natural ally/trading partner is Russia. But it will take a revolution to break the fascist puppet tyranny over Europeans as the institutions and brainwashing are too strongly entrenched to perpetuate it towards collapse.
But didn’t you know that Russia Bad? On that basis, I reject your whole comment
The critical thinking question is which is worse US vs Russia. In 2019, Europe seemed to have a brighter future than today, and the big difference was normal Russian relations. The collective EU failure is denying that Ukraine war was primarily a war on Europe by the US, creating this new Russophobia.

The US is currently under the control of a Russian asset called Krasnov.
“Everything bad America does is because Russia is controlling it.”
I’d accuse you of being a bot in turn, as a joke, but to be honest I think it says more that a lot of Americans really think this way.
Russia pursued peace for 8 years, and had very reasonable red lines to avoid the war. US categorically 100% forced the war with the arrogance that Russians would believe the propaganda given to Europeans that NATO is a defensive alliance, and Ukraine must remain nazified. No respect for Russian security was ever considered. Extreme failure of public sanity and awareness to side with US propaganda and subjugation of Europe instead of reality.
I salute your effort to push back on this stuff. I think you hit the nail on the head in your previous comment for why people never seem to do any basic kind of “maybe Russia also has real geopolitical considerations and is not simply populated by evil orcs” analysis. I’ll quote the part I think explains it below, emphasis added by me.
The critical thinking question
As you say, Europe had a brighter future when it had better relations with Russia. If the Europeans want to destroy their own industry and sink their economies by helping the US cut them off from Russian oil with this manufactured conflict, then I suppose no one else can stop them.

Prescient comment, given what the replies ended up looking like.
Liberals? In these threads? I am SHOCKED
This is fake I’m pretty sure. Trump only uses black Sharpie.
Don’t forget Graydon Carter of Vanity Fair and the gold Sharpie.
To this day, I receive the occasional envelope from Trump. There is always a photo of him — generally a tear sheet from a magazine. On all of them he has circled his hand in gold Sharpie in a valiant effort to highlight the length of his fingers. I almost feel sorry for the poor fellow because, to me, the fingers still look abnormally stubby.
(I think this photo is actually a reconstruction by BBC Newsbeat rather than a Short-Fingered Vulgarian original, but still).
imagine how frustrating it must be when even ones fingers are too short.
Spain and Portugal in the 1500s:
not the first map he’s edited with a marker.
Didn’t he edit a hurricane once?
Nah.
The real map would have the Mediterranean carved out for Bibi
Absolutely crazy to think Trump isn’t aggressively contesting the entire Pacific Rim, North Africa, and Eastern Europe. FFS, how many times does he need to bomb Iran or Yemen before this shit is settled? How many times does need to send Steves Banon and Miller out to Germany, Poland, and Hungary to whip support within the fascist parties? How come the common denominator between every banana republic fascist in Latin America is their Austro-Hungarian parentage and their avowed support for Israel?
Might be closer to say he’s ceding the African/East Asian Global South to the Israelis/Saudis/Qataris/UAE. But even that gives him far too much credit.
He’s not ceding Africa. Don’t forget they recently conducted air strikes in Nigeria.
In fact, Trump mentioned the weather preventing them capturing Maduro a few days ago, that would have been the 1st. The strikes in Nigeria were on the 25th.
I think the plan was to bomb somewhere on both Christmas and New Year’s day.
Maybe Trump didn’t want Santa or Jesus getting all the attention. I’m joking, but given the man’s utterly deranged, it’s not entirely implausible.
OP there was a similar map but also included a region similar to the ottoman empire and I have lost the source plus keep.screwing up when I try to tell people about it. It was something to do with a top Kremlin advisor has an actual (batshit insane) theory to do with this.
Do you remember it? It was in the very recent news and I’m almost certain its the inspiration for this meme.
Sorry no :/ But I’m sure Erdogan would love to be included in the club.
If spheres of influence were only far-right concept, it would be manageable. But no, leftists also like to yap about multipolar world. Obama didn’t do anything in 2014 when Crimea was occupied by russia because he believed in russian sphere of influence. He also defends his line of thought still https://www.politico.eu/article/ukraine-slams-us-barack-obama-for-excuses-over-russia-policy-war/
Um, Obama is/was not a “leftist”.
By his own admission, he would have been considered a republican in Reagan’s time. That interview still pisses me off.
it pisses me off. class solidarity should not be gated by international borders. it’s fine to focus your energy where you can apply it, but the idea that an imperial power should be allowed to dominate another country because it’s their sphere is bullshit.
