the rhetoric of removing sanctions on Syria is funny. it's because they got a CIA guy to lord over it

I thought Al-Sharaa is Turkey's guy

same thing, they make these ISIS guys in vats out of a black site in the armenian highlands

Perhaps I’m being unfair to you, however I’ve a bad taste in my mouth after spending a decent amount of time assembling stats about quality of life in china vs the west, as well as personal experience on the matter, only to be told by a room temp iq that I was simply spreading US propaganda. One of...

what's the meaning of the CPC becoming a democracy? (not merely the definition of the word) is it not already in effect one when it governs, in the long horizon, in the favor of the chinese proletariat? china is politically stable and economically prosperous with deep trade relations with every nati...

yeah, i was watching that earlier today while working. he's clearly eating well and working out, and his shirt is tailored nicely. this is to say nothing about Pete, but another few years of Trump news cycle inanity and the Democrats can throw out a wet noodle and win a supermajority. he has the rig...

biden was a perfect alley-oop for a trump presidency but trump could be perfect for a buttigieg one ngl

I'm grateful for President Donald Trump

I got everything I wanted out of the Chinese

Late yesterday evening, I celebrated President Xi Jinping's visit with the Chinese delegation to Seri Perdana at a dinner in conjunction with the state visit to Malaysia, in an atmosphere of friendship. This first state visit in 12 years by President Xi is symbolic and emblematic of the true Malays...

always wait for the goodspeed post edit. anyway, i disagree with you about china's prospective growth, and am more bearish on the american economy, not a novel take for the next five years, but even beyond that. the problems are too deep. i'll read more when i can.

I love Donald Trump

Starting to shift my views. I think Europe should break the alliance with the US and forge a new alliance with China. We do nothing but lose by staying in this "alliance" with the US. Strong men create good times https://www.ft.com/content/0a086fc2-1955-4ded-8558-6f9f85a0679d https://i.im...

it's funny they characterize the Park regime and subsequent juntas as "authoritarian, but basically inclusive" because they were reliant on US aid and tech transfers, but don't say the same of China under late Mao/Deng/Jiang after its Kissingerian market liberalization & integration wi...

At the end of the day we’re just doing exactly what trump supporters did under Biden. Point to a short term drop in the stock market and act like something terrible is happening.

eh maybe this time is a little different

I hope the Mossad doesn't whack ol' Donny so we can continue with the program of liberating the world from America.

I just don't think Kamala's laugh was that annoying tbh

I truthfully wonder if Trump's third term is either a "flood the media" antic or if it's something he seriously wants to do. For me, it's both and he's also trying to move the overton window. They truly want to see what the scope it is that they can get away with. A stress test for antiqu...

They want Americans to experience economic pain as if we are at war. Seems bad to me but some people seem to think it's really good
