It’s really funny how western media is simply incapable of acknowledging that Russians are beating NATO training, weapons, and tactics because they’re better at fighting. It always has to be rationalized as the asiatic hordes.

The example for Taiwan has already been set. Aligning with the west resulted in a complete destruction of Ukraine, and anybody in Taiwan with a functioning brain can see where the west will lead them.

🤣

it’s so hamfisted

ha

I mean who could’ve possibly seen this coming!

Oh for sure, complete political illiteracy is very prevalent in the US. You’re completely right that it’s not that people support imperialism, but rather they’re not even aware that it’s happening.

yup…

It’s absolutely incredible to me that there are people who think it could’ve been anyone else.

Exactly, and the very fact that German government won’t even allow members of the parliament access to the investigation says everything we need to know.

I’d argue they are doing that figuratively by doubling down on their support for the genocide in Gaza. It’s making it clear to anybody who’s not part of the cult that they are morally bankrupt. The sooner people start realizing that libs are just a different flavor of right wing extremism the sooner we might see some positive change in the west.

I think there’s very little doubt that the US was behind the terrorist attack on the pipelines. What’s most interesting in my opinion is that there’s increasing evidence that the German government is in collusion with the US in covering up an attack on German energy infrastructure. This is nothing short of treason. The government in Germany colluded with a foreign power to cover up an attack on their sovereign infrastructure that resulted in irreparable economic damage to the country.

the problem is that the libs are religious zealots, so they can’t be reasoned with

Yup, if Cuba was accepted into BRICS then they’d have access to all the countries in the bloc.

can’t hurt

unfortunately didn’t see it on sci-hub

Oh yeah, I can definitely see that happening, and very much agree that places that were forced to become self sufficient will end up doing a lot better.

I’m not as sure about that. High technology relies on global supply chains. Minerals are mined in specific parts of the globe, there are specialized factories that only exist in certain parts of the world, and so on. Take advanced chips as just one example of that. You can count the number of foundries on the palm of your hand.

As the climate continues to become more unstable, we’re likely going to see a breakdown of global tech chains. In fact, there is historical precedent to this with the fall of the Roman empire where a lot of provinces rapidly descended into the dark ages in a span of a few years.

It’s also a question of whether there it’ll be possible to support large cities agriculturally. Even temperate areas will end up having large climate disasters. For example, we’re already seeing this happening with massive forest fires in US and Canada. These kinds of disasters are disrupting food production already, and it’s only going to get worse.

One solution could be to start growing food indoors. Incidentally, China is already starting to do a lot of indoor farming which is a good way to ensure steady food supply even in face of stuff like heat waves or other disasters. China is probably also in the best position when it comes to preserving supply chains given that most manufacturing is already happening there.

Fair, it’s more that our current civilization will end.

it’s amazing how the concern trolling about public spending is never applied to military spending
