    when tankies pick one of the small handful of countries which the US is not likely to become as bad as or worse than in the near-future to lionize

    COUNTRIES WE MAY BECOME AS BAD AS IN THE NEAR-FUTURE:

    • Venezuela
    • Conversely, Argentina
    • The PRC
    • Russia

    COUNTRIES WHO WE WILL LIKELY NOT MATCH THE DEPRAVITY OF IN ANY NEAR-FUTURE SCENARIO:

    • DPRK
    • Saudi Arabia
    • Iran
    • Afghanistan under the Taliban

    … God, I hope I didn’t fucking jinx us by saying that.
