LMAO tweet of the day: of course there will be big progress on Russia if the US can force Ukraine to cede territories to Putin.

At this point, even if Iran acquires the least capable version of surface-to-surface missiles that will be displayed during the September 3rd parade, it will be a grave concern for Israel, as long as the missile has sufficient range.

I don't think Iran needs Chinese BM missiles. They need Air defence. Iran getting a few batteries of HQ-9 will be a huge game changer.

The post appear to be more about Chinese equipment for making ballistic missiles rather than Chinese ballistic missions.

The author should heed his own advice:

If the US is going to outcompete China, Wang suggests, we need to understand it first.

But his book is less of a policy treatise than a tour of what China's engineering-forward society looks like on the ground — the good (high-speed rail and drones), the bad (one-child and Zero Covid policies) and the ugly (human-rights violations and pointless replicas of European town squares).

He lived in Shanghai during the draconian lockdowns, when people often struggled to get food, workers in all-white protective suits sprayed buildings and megaphones instructed residents to "repress your soul's yearning for freedom." The fiasco revealed the downside of treating people like cogs in a piece of machinery. The experience, combined with China's one-child policy, showed him that the engineering state is "not just about infrastructure, it's also about population and social engineering," he says. "That's the much scarier part."

Wang tours the successes of the engineering state — from a town that makes guitars to Shenzhen's nimble ecosystem of tech startups and factories — while recognizing the toll the system takes on individual Chinese, particularly young people, many of whom have fled the cities or the country entirely.

What are the odds that the US maintains its dominance? Wang is surprisingly sanguine. He points to China's debt burden, its aging population and the government's fear of its own people as problems that, he predicts, will prevent it from surpassing the US. Meanwhile, he argues that the US is in a strong position to win the long game — if it recommits to building.

Yes literally all the pro-West Indian pundits in the media are shook to their core at these events.

Sorry but it was happening before Trump. Like what he's been doing, he's just accelerating what was already happening. Maybe India should have thought maybe they shouldn't send assassins into especially Western countries to kill off activist Indian refugees living there. Did they think they had special dispensation because Indians were "all-weather" friends of the West? That just gave an excuse to turn on them. Then you have how Indians thought Westerners weren't racist and they would ironically be welcomed with open arms into the elite club of the world of people who just plainly think they're naturally superior to everyone else. The reason why the West hates China is finally catching up with Indians. No, Fareed. The damage is not irreparable like he believes. That's his bruised ego talking. All it will take is the West to open their arms to India again even when how fake it will look because Indians so want to be to believe them a be a part of their club. Because if that weren't the case, they would've seen the West as their enemy just trying to use them long ago.

The author should heed his own advice:

It's precisely those types of sentiments that actively enable the worst abuses of neoliberal imperialist ideology around the world, because it effectively justifies any action on their part as being "freedom and liberty" while actively destroying anybody who tries to do things outside of their system. Socioeconomic sovereignty must be generated on the community level or the invariable destructive co-option and extraction by said imperialists becomes an inevitability, of which this is evident even in countries like Japan.

Western public opinion is shifting very negatively against Indians. It will only get worse as Indians are extremely arrogant which will clash with Western arrogance. Too many Indians have entered the West and many Western cities are looking like Delhi. They are taking jobs from Westerners while India’s world famous nepotism means once an Indian gets into any sort of power, they fire the locals and hire Indians. As Western living standards fall and unemployment rises, the people will direct their anger at Indians.
Western elites hate China because China’s national power challenges Western hegemony. But Western public hates Indians as they see their daily lives affected by Indian mass immigration.

India follows Israel's doctrine, step by step and inch by inch. But they don't seem to understand that, unlike Indians, Israelis have infiltrated very deep into American, not only politics, but also culture, educational institutions, mass media, religion, banking & finance, and pretty much everything else that matters. Israel is the country that can assassinate people in America (and other Western countries) with impunity, not India. Just yesterday, an Israeli (non-American citizen) was caught in pedophilia in Vegas, but returned to Israel without any punishment (see below). That's the level of dominance Israel possesses.

The clash between China and the West is one of civilizations. Perhaps if all else was well with the Western commoners, they could be easily directed to support this civilizational clash. However, when China looms distant on the horizon but Indians are seen to be clamouring at the gates, their hate will go elsewhere. But I don't think anything will happen. What will the US do? Kick out all the Indians? I cannot see this happening in my lifetime.
