Straight from Chinese sources: US attempt to strip China of its developing country status doomed to fail.
Not like it was a secret about China being a “developing nation”, but what they themselves don’t say is how that status is still kept safe thanks to debt slaves.
$2.5 + some undisclosed amount charged from one’s taxes to subsidize processing of the package, because China is a group 2 country in Universal Postal Union (a poor developing country 😢).
There was a bit from Soviet TV of early eighties. Rough translation of hosts words:
USSR is a big country, we’ll live with these sanctions just fine, but Washington’s allies will be hit from these “cowboy jumps” much harder.
So I’d say it’s always all good and stable for Russia until some certain point.
My favourite aspect of this is Taco Don attempting to extend his questionable “deal expertise” to international affairs and failing miserably almost every time.
So basically whenever he tries to do something in a field, that requires at least a bit of getting acquittanced with background information, understanding of underlying processes, and where results can be exactly measured (unlike in real estate business) - he scores an F, almost every time.
Anybody gonna tell him that the humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza is big part thanks to his admin sending enormous aid packages to Israel? And what pains me the most is redirection of tens of thousands of AA rockets meant for Ukraine.
Makes me think how China could’ve eventually reunited with Taiwan if they just played a long game and didn’t destroy Hong Kong’s autonomy. But instead authoritarian habits kicked in.
Okay, this is low-key hilarious, albeit morbid, considering the essence of the topic. Guy who was brought to power thanks to “Pizzagate” now may risk same treatment, yet in his case - it’d be 100% deserved.
Makes me glad they’re too terminally online to stalk people in real life for writing mean things about Stalin. Because they seem like they’d be up to it
Props for them for keeping decorum, because if I had a job of naming street where Russian embassy is - it’d be “Stinking Vatnik street” or “Snohachestvo street”.
Wastes more Earth’s natural resources than any other country, contributes the most to global warming, uses massive government subsidies to its corporations to undercut concurrent players in market, still has billionaires, fosters raging consumerism in the world.
But most of these things are okay for .ml folks, because “West does something similar too”.
Obama orchestrated “Russia probe” narrative.
There is Valetudo project, that spoofs vacuums external cloud connections to your locally hosted server.
Also AFAIK there are vacuums with only Bluetooth connectivity to configure them from a phone, with no Wi-Fi and cloud bullshit.
Art of the deal, folks.
Poor Reagan is also spinning in his frying pan all the time due to GOP nowadays French kissing Russians.
That may be hypocritical, but having hostile neighbour, that itself doesn’t respect any conventions (and Russians absolutely don’t mind anti-personnel landmines among other things such as cluster munitions and chemical warfare) is a good stimuli to rethink ones principles.
In Czechoslovakia it was even funnier - communists won election by a landslide, and still did a coup two years later.
