Oh, I remember you. With the apparently non-ironic Communist East Germany avatar. You never did respond to my previous comment. I'll copy paste the relevant bits again to refresh your memory:

TLDR
I like the end of the Global North’s neocolonialism.
But what do you favor as a system?
China and Russia’s colonialism and imperialism apparently, since those are the only two countries trying to expand their own new colonial empires anywhere they can.
Russia has troops in half a dozen African countries, expreses military control over several of its neighbors, and is currently invading its neighbor to add it back into its empire.
China is continuing to annex its neighbors waters, building out military bases around the Pasific and Indian oceans, and gaining control over large parts of Africa’s infrastructure.
NATO remains primarily committed to mutual defense and in their own words, “preventing changes to the status quo by force or coercion.”. Yes, the current system is flawed and ineffectual with poor power distribution, but this libertarian ideal, that the world would be better off without defensive alliances and that military force and invasion should be the primary deciding factor of foreign influence is just as silly as all libertarian policy.
We had a system where military power was the primary deciding factor of foreign relations, that was what lead to Europe brutally colonizing most of the world in the first place. We should not seek to return to that era.
Proletarian democracy.

Inshallah. Eventually they will pay for what they did to Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, Libya and other countries they bombed or looted
