Seeing stuff like this I find it fascinating that even in a place this intellectually advanced as this, some people still cling to the idea that there will be some magic deals, negotiations, or spheres of influence with the US and China.

But no, that’s just not how this works. The Americans are too deluded and too primal for that kind of arrangement, and their entire practical survival strategy now depends on maintaining relentless, all-encompassing pressure.

The moment they 'give up' even an inch, they’re done as a nation economically from the bottom tier people that live off being able to absorb and internally resell global goods around with global internationalized dollars to oligarchs that depend on it for their global siphoning asset Ponzi schemes to the government that also rely on this system for its massive deficits.

Trump isn't cutting back on peripheral efforts because he wants to he’s doing it because they believe they have to do so temporarily to re-focus their power elsewhere. The focus is shifting only to China, Russia, and Iran, but mostly China. The plan? "Take them down" first, then restart all those global intelligence interference operations once they’re back on top and continue.

There are only two possible outcomes here: 1. The US collapses internally before it gets to attack China. 2. It collapses while attacking China.









Rising hopelessness, social alienation, and deaths of despair (drug overdoses, alcoholism, and suicide) also mirror the Soviet collapse.







Let me enhance the understanding of the grim situation even further: hyper-aggressive society + desperation, what could go wrong, hum.

Canada has a low De minimis and Temu is doing fine here. Walmart and Amazon will also be affected by tariffs against China so I don't Temu has much to worry about.
I think Temu and Shein will be fine. They can just set up warehouses in the US.


Who runs BBC nowadays? All propaganda and race baiting.
I'm shocked, shocked, to find out that BBC receives funding from USAID!

Imagine DeepSeek's CEO is as homicidal as Palantir's. Just another reason why the US will lose its competition with China: the US' ruling class is full of sociopaths.

Palantir's executive: competition in AI is "zero-sum and winner-takes-all".

Next time someone whines that DeepSeek engages in censorship, show them the flowing charts:

Looks like we need to stick to using Chinese language for the authentic CHAD-XI-PT experience.
To them AI speaking in Chinese is like whispers from Lovecraftian evil, capable of indoctrinating people's mind from mere words.

As someone on weibo pointed out, ChatGPT o3-mini thinking out aloud in Chinese is very Lovecraftian to them. Imagine you've just slammed the door on a massive antediluvian creature and retreated back to your sanctum of western chatbot. Then you ask your butler to tell you some encouraging words to sooth your nerves only to have him suddenly start mumbling in the same devil tongue as the creature on the other side of the door.

We think it's funny because we're actually the Deep Ones already.

Beside China. Why are they going after Latin America so hard? These quotes come from the aide of the CIA director. Targets include countries who were never their enemies.

Trump’s CIA will have a greater focus on the Western Hemisphere, targeting countries not traditionally considered adversaries of the U.S., the aide said.

CIA going after Mexico for trade leverage. Including on fighting the cartel.
For example, the CIA will use espionage to give Trump extra leverage in his trade negotiations, potentially spying on Mexico’s government amid the ongoing trade spat, the aide said.
The CIA will also take on a significant role fighting Mexican drug cartels, the aide said, which Trump designated as terror groups on his first day in office.
