He's right though. Bulgarians love Russia, because Russians kicked Turks out over a century ago. Hungary and Slovakia are full on pro Russia right now and are not even hiding it. Plenty of Polish people love PiS who are pro Russian and I have no clue how PiS lost last elections.
And the Western countries are not much different. Le Pen almost won in France, AFD and Reform are on the rise in Germany and the UK. And, holly fuck, Trump got a second term in the US.
It is utterly delusional to think that Russia lacks strong support. "Haha ruzzkies" thinking is only playing into Putin's hand.
The time machine is using itself as a point of reference to comply with general relativity. The only way to time travel is to move forward in time. The way to move through time would be to move a lot faster than the Earth, so that every minute for you inside the time machine would equal to many years for earthlings. And if you're moving that fast you'll fly away from Earth.
The time machine somehow has a knowledge of the whole universe, this way a Newtonian model applies and an absolute point of reference exists. That allows unrestricted travel both forwards and backwards in time, but that also means that the Earth will inevitably move from under the machine to follow its path across the universe.
No matter how you twist it you'll end up all alone in space. You need a machine which can move through both time and space at the same time.
What you're describing is a machine which moves both in time and space. A machine which only moves in time would result in this meme no matter how you twist it.
Well, if you consider only Africa and the Middle East to be "global South", then maybe. But I'd say South Asia is also a part, has most of human population there and pretty much is aligned with Russia and China.
It doesn't really function as its own state since it has no separate courts (it owns and partially runs the Old Bailey, but that's for all of England, not just the City), no defense or foreign-policy capacity, and none of the other functions of a state. It's a Liberty (an area with enhanced or different rights) rather than a state.
It's the same for England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland. Or for 50 states inside the US.
You need a company for legal protection. There are too many idiots in this world who will try their best to sue you for no reason. The bigger you grow, the higher the risk. That's why we have the Mozilla Corp and Linux Foundation: a company will pay a fine in the worst case scenario, but a private person behind the project is looking at a jail time.
