Literally the US Army has published videos that claim they were involved in the Tiananmen protests.
Dude’s never been called yellow and it shows. Fuck off.
Not sure why $oro$ is marked as racism when it specifically refers to one person and has “nothing to do” with that person’s race.
Really makes you think.
Two party state baby
By the winter of 1941, Barbarossa had failed. By the time the Western Front was opened in 1944, Army Group South had collapsed, Army Group North was failing, and Army Group Center was in the process of being encircled. Germany had lost, it was just a question of when. In the meantime, the entire North African campaign cost the Germans less resources than the Dnieper-Carpathian Offensive.
Friendly reminder that prior to Pearl Harbour, the US was sponsoring Japan’s war crimes in China. The US made up the bulk of Japan’s iron, copper, oil, steel, and wheat supply… Essentials for industrializing and waging war. Even with this massive economic power backing them, Japan had been fought to a standstill by 1940. By 1944, the Nationalists were more concerned with containing the Communists than they were with containing the Japanese.
In the case of both Germany and Japan, powerhouses at the peak of their power were ground down to a stalemate against a rapidly industrializing nation.
Encroaching on Taiwan’s sovereignty by flying in international airspace over international waters?
And yet, under the KMT government relations were normalizing. In the past, mainland China had extremely positive rhetoric towards Taiwan (and Taiwan towards mainland China). Even today, trade grows and cultural coupling grows.
Frankly, claiming that China violates Taiwan’s airspace shows a gross misunderstanding of international aviation law. American FONOPs in the area since 2016 have broken the status quo that the Chinese and Taiwanese governments were using to split the strait: if the strait is international waters outside of the 12km limit, then the air above it is international airspace by definition.
Oddly enough, that timeline also coincides with Taiwan’s government flipping from KMT rule to DPP rule.
China’s… not so wrong with this one. Under the previous KMT government, Taiwan-China relations were normalizing (not to the degree of reunification, but to the degree that conflict wasn’t really on the horizon anymore because of the economic harm it would cause). The DPP has taken a strongly anti-China stance and the result has been escalating tensions… All while bilateral trade across the strait continues to grow.
Maybe drop one to show that Russia still has the capability, then another on a different city to show that Russia can keep dropping bombs for as long as it takes?
To what extent? Greater than healthcare? Greater than the flagging economy? The government has limited money.
Why would they? There’s only 535 people in Congress. Giving each of them a million dollars in “donations” every four years is basically a rounding error.
Danielle Smith is the opposite of a fiscal conservative. Dumping $330m on the new Saddledome? Cleaning up for oil companies?
The US and UK will lose some credibility internationally if they pull out now, but they’ll have more flexibility to address domestic issues that can help them in the next election. Given the relative strength of the opposition this election, they’ll need all the help they can get.
Zelensky buddy…
Biden’s polling below Trump in the US (Nov 2024), Sunak is doomed (Jan 2025), and Scholz is leading a flagging economy down the drain (Oct 2025).
Regardless of how people feel about Ukraine, Western support is not indefinite and at some point the Western powers will have to focus their efforts on domestic issues.
You have to read the whole article instead of Ctrl+Fing…
Dude’s from England, cut him some slack for being oblivious. Cuba was only part of the British empire for like a year.
A fair number of bombings have been attributed to defective Ukrainian munitions…
The US is increasing it’s primary energy production from fossil fuel sources (by 40% since 2010) and they’re decreasing total emissions? Sure…
