      Regardless of your political position, I assume most people would agree that Xi is the most competent or well-rounded statesman among the options.

          Yahu is, in liberal eyes, personally responsible for the evil that Israel does and once he’s gone, according to liberals, everything’s gonna be sunshine and rainbows.

          who would they pick? There’s no popular left-liberal world leader right now. Steinbaum or Lula I guess would be the closest?

          All the European leaders are unelected and/or extremely unpopular.

      I read recently that, back in 2017, SWAPO made a big show of re-adopting a Socialist ideology. They call it “Socialism with Namibian Characteristics”, though it’s hard to tell how genuine this supposed shift really is.

      It coincided with a big trade deal with China, so either a left-faction of SWAPO already was looking to make this pivot, and courted Chinese investment in the process, or an opportunist faction made the rhetorical pivot, thinking it would appeal to China.

      I don’t know what actual Namibian economic policy and quality of life has looked like over the last decade, as compared to the previous one. But that would be worth looking at, to see if this “Socialism with Namibian Characteristics” actually amounts to anything

      Abkhazia and South Ossetia are the Donbass of Georgia really long grains of separatism, except the Russians didn’t wait 8 years and crushed the Georgian army when the war was first winding up, before NATO formed a proper strategy to arm and proxy-fy them.

        NATO was arming and proxifying them already, but Georgia is too small and not suicidal enough for a long war.

          Nothing about Georgia makes it un-suicidal, and combat in the mountains means you don’t need quite as big a heap of men. Georgia simply was not armed & trained in the same way or timetable that they managed in Ukraine. Whether that was CIA arrogance or a lesser political commitment–you can decide. They got it right on the second try though. And Russia learned the exact opposite wrong lesson.

            Georgia was also not as marinated in nationalism, so the general population was not willing to fight, so after losing the initial battles the leadership was forced to negotiate, while Ukraine has a strong fascist presence, who are able to lock the country on the full speed course into the iceberg.
