There goes my country again, Please no more 😐
Oh good we get another Suharto
These days they prefer their puppet leaders less overtly murderous and dictatorial, so it would be more like another Tsai Ing Wen or Aung San Suu Kyi, someone to give the superficial appearance of liberal democracy but in reality being a CIA asset tasked with turning their country into another version of Ukraine but directed against China.
Is there a substantial Chinese minority in Indonesia?
Going off Wikipedia, around 3 million, or just over 1%.
So, a pretty big target for potential Azov.
The nature of terrorists
Interesting.
Here’s another one about Mexico :
They think AMLO is left wing? Holy shit.
They also passed a law to reduce the work week from 48 hours to 40 hours.
And he was among the most vocal support in favor of Julian Assange.
As a symbolic gesture, he also sold the (luxurious )presidential plane, that counts. Another symbol if i’m not misreading.
After nationalizing lithium(, calling for an alliance), he also nationalized 13 power plants, as well as in the oil industry, which was not appreciated(2mn video).
I remember many other examples of friction with the u.s.a., and of support for oppressed countries(, more on Cuba here.
Finally, on a topic not only related to Mexico, i found the sentence « If the country had continued to grow at this rate, it would have European living standards today », if these assumptions are true then it’s the damnedest argument against neoliberalism, some would say “not a bug but a feature”, and i couldn’t blame their suspicion. https://twitter.com/BenjaminNorton/status/1676657181301547009
