"In 2020, the most recent year for which complete data is available, 45,222 people died from gun-related injuries in the U.S., according to the CDC. That figure includes gun murders and gun suicides, along with three other, less common types of gun-related deaths tracked by the CDC: those that were unintentional, those that involved law enforcement and those whose circumstances could not be determined"


All this just tempts me to buy shares of gun manufacturers, just to see what it feels like to be a stockholder in East India company circa 1800s

I know it's multiple death incidents at 600. Still think those are rookie numbers for USA. And I do own shares in gun companies

Kevin Rudd showing his true color:

I remember hearing one of his talks where he boasted to an american audience that when he was Australia's PM, he tried to warn the US that China was getting too powerful, that the US needed to do something about it soon. I can't remember from which speech I heard this, but he's really not a friend of China though he tries hard to act as one.

Nothing strange with what he said. US' hegemony depends on Taiwan. China getting Taiwan would be catastrophic for the American Empire.

Any amateur geopolitical watcher will tell you that Rudd's talking points make sense when viewed from the American perspective

They were going into the gutter one way or another after musks takeover.

Written by reporters Cat Zakrzewski, Faiz Siddiqui and Joseph Menn, the piece argued that Musk imposed his will on the company by gutting the "Trust and Safety team" that once used to carefully deliberate and "define dangerous language."

It’s funny that the woke regressives can’t hide behind the lies they aren’t suppressing conservatives anymore.

You miss the point. Rudd used to advocate engagement, and now he advocates full spectrum containment. The OP mentions the disappointment of this hawkish turn. While most inside the beltway has turned over the past few years, Rudd has tried to put up a semblance of neutrality and objectivity. Now he openly calls for the US and its allies to bully China, as the OP puts it.

I don't need an amateur geopolitical watcher such as yourself to tell me what the american perspective is since I'm from the US.
