These guys sell industrial type drones for use in mostly agriculture where at a drone convention in Las Vegas they saw a representative of a US drone company selling their competing version against DJI telling everyone if the can get DJI to use theirs if they can even though he's claiming when the ban in US happens there's going to be some "kill switch" mechanism that will prevent all DJI products in the US from working. The guy doesn't even have confidence in the product he's selling.

Americans think whatever China can do, they can do... but the other way around, it's questionable and most likely inferior to what they have. That's why you have this phenomenon US military tech bros actually using Chinese technology in their prototypes. They're just trying to get a contract from the Pentagon and if they do, they'll just clone the Chinese tech to then ask for more money to do it. The Pentagon has no problem that they were using Chinese tech because they too think it's that simple and easy for them. But they still aren't capable of putting out a competing product... And as they like to joke they bought it off Temu. China ain't selling their best stuff commercially where Americans can get it and they still aren't able to compete.

Look at how even in red states where these businesses are active the most, they're acknowledging DJI is far better. Who's herd of a business where drones are being used to track down game that hunters shot but escaped off before they died?

Please share some stories!

Thanks.

I would like to, friends. But my English is already quite clever. After all, I learned it relatively late and it is easily forgotten. And I haven't used it for a long time, I have been retired for 25 years and so, to my shame, I sometimes have to help out with a translator ... But if there is an opportunity and a topic, I will be happy to contribute. Just don't forget to stop me if I babble nonsense. That happens to old people

Monarchy is too broad, every society had different cultures and systems that underpinned the entire structure. For example, in what is now Nigeria, the Hausa-Fulani from the north had strong rulers (Emirs) whose orders were absolute. In the Southwest, the Yoruba king (Oba) was absolute but could be legally overthrown by the council that served under him if two thirds voted to oust him but with the caveat that they will have to be buried alive with him if he were to die. This served as a check on unnecessary objection to the Oba's orders. The Igbos from across the river, in the Southeastern part of what's now Nigeria didn't have absolute rulers and was one of the many societies in the world who never evolved monarchies. They were republican as could be in ancient times, they had communities (Umunna) and major decisions were discussed by male heads of household within the Ummuna and decisions were put to vote. They only started having kings when the British came and because there was no clear leader to negotiate with they just appointed people (warrant chiefs), those chiefs and their descendants later became Ezes (kings). All these societies had 'monarchs' at one point or another but operated under different systems.

No society is 'special' but every society is unique. There may be surface level commonalities but under the surface there are enough differences. South Korea started it's developmental journey under military rule, they were led by a competent leader who created a competent bureaucracy. Nigeria was also under military rule from the 1960s until 1999 but the military rulers completely destroyed every working institution in the country. Same system (military dictatorship) but different in terms of quality of leadership, culture, and operations created two different outcomes for both countries.

there are a few themes though.

South Korea was a post-colonial military dictatorship but it was unified with 1 language, no religious conflict. Nigerian post-colonial military dictatorship had the Biafra war on ethnic and religious lines.

South Korea is more developed.

India is a British style parliamentary democracy with English as an official language. So is the UK itself. India had multiple internal conflicts over language, religion and economic policy. UK doesn't.

UK is more developed.

The requirement for development is simply no internal conflict. It does not matter how that is achieved - either through actually having no internal conflict because 1 side overwhelmingly won (UK, Vietnam) or making an internal conflict external (China, Korea).

Replace Chinese with Jews and what Rahm Emmanuel tries to vilify the Chinese is more fitting with what Jews and Israel are doing.

The Jews are actually controlling the MSM narrative. That's why there's hardly any news dedicating to the atrocities done to Arabs and Palestinians throughout the Middle East for decades.

Nepal’s young anti-corruption protestors reportedly used the platform Discord to hold an impromptu vote to pick their first interim woman prime minister. Multiple polls were held by representatives of the protest movement on the social media platform Discord to nominate possible leaders.

“The parliament of Nepal right now is Discord,” Sid Ghimiri as saying. The channel’s organisers are members of the civic organization Hami Nepal. The group’s organisers, members of the civic organisation Hami Nepal, met with army chiefs who requested they propose a nominee for interim leader.

By Wednesday, September 10, the server appeared to have reached a consensus. Sushila Karki, Nepal’s former chief justice, was chosen as the next leader. South China Morning Post reported that 7,713 votes were cast before Karki reached 50%. She subsequently met Nepal’s President Ram Chandra Poudel and Army Chief Gen. Ashok Raj Sigdel the following day.

So a small group of random people on discord decided the next PM for Nepal. People who may or may not be in Nepali Citizens that picked their interim prime minister on a foreign platform.

RT post about the anti-China protests in SK has gone viral with 2,500 quotes and little retweets

With the looks of it people have noticed the absurd levels of retardation and pointlessness of this groups ideas and demands

Kirk was angling to be a Trump Reich's Gauleiter in charge of arresting/incarcerating said enemies of Orange Fuehrer as in Alligator Alcatraz or Little Yangtze Wumao Detention Camp-backed up by ICE muscle a sort of Hans Frank of Nazi occupied Poland.SMH-these SK's are beyond hope,no self-respect,no self/historical awareness ,total vassal /tool-in TW AR situation these idiots not Japan might be the ones attacking China.

Last week it was a Canadian and Australian frigates traversing the TW Strait-sort of a little tantrum from seeing all the weapon systems on Sept 3rd.Can't wait for reunification and closing the damn Strait as an internal waterway.

2049 is a long time from now, unfortunately. These transits are symbolic soft power but detection and tracking data feeds directly into training kill webs, which is hard power. If the west wants to contribute to Chinese military development, I say let them.

I thought that too when the audio started playing.

I'm just waiting for the PLAN to sail through the Bass Strait and then start doing some live-fire drills just outside of Australian waters.

If the RAN and the RCN really want to start doing some shit, I'd recommend those two navies to do some live-fire drills during their transit of the Taiwan Straits. Let's see if their legal fiction of the Taiwan Strait being international waters would hold any water.
