Forget recession, WSJ favorite asian reporters are calling Depression in China now
America is in death spiral levels of coping "we have vibecession at home" (meaning the economy is in recession and everyone is feeling it, but the government claims it not) meanwhile China has "reverse vibecession" where the economy is booming and everyone is feeling it, but the American government randomly claims its not.Forget recession, WSJ favorite asian reporters are calling Depression in China now
Ah so is it finally time for War Thunder to add the Abrams to the Chinese ground tree then? I can’t wait to see the reactions to that lol."Experts say Abrams tanks will bolster Taiwan's ability to repel PLA landings
M1A2T tanks and AH-64E Apache helicopters could strengthen Taiwan's defenses" by Keoni Everington
"[...]the first 38 M1A2T Abrams tanks out of 108 purchased from the US arrived at Hsinchu County's Hukou Township.

They need to do better.The failure in security and intelligence is evident.
No. Russia is taking land and killing Ukrainians on the battlefield; the opposite is true in regards to Hezbollah and Iran. Israel does these acts as outright domination; Ukraine sneaks these in out of desperation from losing. Also, defense is much harder for Russia as Ukrainians mix much more easily into the Russia population than Israelis into the Iranian population.It's tragic, but at this point Russia starts to resemble Hezbollah and Iran, losing generals and scientists without the ability to provide any response to reestablish deterrence.
If that were true, Putin would be dead. There is no "impunity." They are just trying to sneak in some shots at whomever they can get but nothing can reverse the course on the battlefield.Ukrainian and Western leaders are intact and feel safe to dare more and more, while being able to send the message that they can kill whoever they want in Russia with impunity.

Another bloomberg narrative:
"Assad’s Fall Should Be a Teachable Moment for China
Beijing’s fondness for fellow autocracies has one big downside: They can be much more fragile than it wants to believe. "
By: Pei Minxin
...
Author Mei Pinxin, he has written similarly vibed articles before too.
Like this:
"Biden’s China Policy Deserves a Second Life
The incoming Trump administration should build on and improve the multi-pronged strategy rather than scrap it. "
.....
He is fellow/affiliate of US fubded think tank?
Wiki: "Minxin Pei (Chinese: 裴敏欣; pinyin: Péi Mǐnxīn; born December 10, 1957) is a Chinese-American political scientist. He is the current editor of the China Leadership Monitor.[1] He is a specialist on governance in China, U.S.–East Asia relations, mass surveillance in China, as well as democratization in developing nations. He is currently the Tom and Margot Pritzker '72 Professor of Government and George R. Roberts Fellow at Claremont McKenna College[2] and a non-resident senior fellow in the Asia program at the German Marshall Fund of the United States.[3] He was formerly a senior associate in the Asia Program at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace."
They love labels:
"Tom and Margot Pritzker '72 Professor of Government and George R. Roberts Fellow"
"Edward Teller National Fellow, the Hoover Institution, Stanford University, 1994-1995"
He also write books abt china , simalr to Gordon chang...
This indirectly confirm who has more importance in Russian society. Putin didnot consult publicly or any one challenge him on why Zelenski was let it go on advice of former Israeli PM. I am sure this kicking out Assad all of sudden without telling his government Putin idea as Assad escape there.How many Russian generals and scientists have been killed this way so far? I remember this admin military sign building was bombed and the daughter of a Russian nationalist was killed. Who else?
Fidan told Saudi Arabia’s Al Hadath television channel in an interview.
"They told us about it that day. However, I don't have information about who directly spoke with him or at what level. What I know is that a message was conveyed," he said.
Fidan also emphasized that claims suggesting Türkiye facilitated Assad's exit from Syria through cooperation with certain parties are false.

Zelensky, Budanov and Yermak have been in charge since the beginning, they openly threaten and take credit for terrorist attacks and continue with impunity, parading around the world enjoying all the luxuries in exchange for killing Russians.They need to do better.

There's not really any targets for Russia. Russia has generals and scientists but Ukraine is just a mess propped up by Western donations. They have no scientists and no labs worth hitting and all their "generals" are just crazy people (I think one of them said they'll invade Beijing after they're done with Moscow?) who get randomly replaced all the time. The only one with a face is Zelensky and the value of killing him is questionable.
