Lolwut? Did the US just blink at French demand? What has the world come to?
You might be thinking, yeah but then it would mean both US and French (and presumably soon German and maybe even South Korea & Japan) will get subsidy to China's detriment. Well then I say too young too simple, sometime naive:

Pinnacle of American culture

somewhat of a tangent but I hope people never ever forget the Europeans didn’t give up imperialism remorsefully like they pretend to. The privilege was taken from them by force in WWII and I have no doubt they would recolonize at a drop of a hat if given a chance

CIA has gone cheapskate....

While I feel it's true, in this case it's both them being cheapskate as well as them picking bad middleman, look at this:

"I'm not actually in mainland and not really cut out to be an organizer. Maybe I was too young too simple blah blah. Don't actually know much about Shanghai. I'm handing over admin rights"

Translation: "shit looks bad, I'm off with all that CIA money, see ya suckers enjoy tea with MSS."

Imagine being a 包工头 recruiting migrate worker to work on building an apartment, and doing all this online out of the country. That's going to be one tofu dreg apartment.

Imagine Mao trying to direct Long March remotely while hiding somewhere safe in Moscow.

The US wants to do scorched-earth policy with Taiwan by destroying the TSMC plants and blame it on China when AR happens.

Please remind Beijing to deliver a couple DF-31As and DF-41s to Phoenix, Arizona when that happens. No need to use nuclear warheads - conventional ones would do.

Dassault: Here is a 10-year-old prototype that led to nothing. We are proficient for achieving this.

Note: Dassault does make good stuff. But their marketing has been quite dishonest for years.

Wow. Germany football team knocked out after Japan unexpected win over Spain, which included a controversial goal. A draw would have put Germany through.
They won against costa Rica but wasn't enough. After the team virtue signalling and political stance at the beginning it came back to bite them in the ass.
Bad year for Germans on and off the field.

Even as a Germany fan, I have to say that the Germans deserved this. They were done by Japan, the team that defeated both them and later Spain.

In the first Group E clash of Germany vs Japan. Germany went 1-0 up 1st. Then Antonio Rudiger of Germany mocked Takuma Asano of Japan with his cartoon run:


ESPN even thought that that was funny.

Japan later won that game 2-1. With Takuma Asano himself scoring the winning goal. Instant karma. Worse for Germany, that same Japan defeated Spain 2-1 yesterday and knocked Germany out of the World Cup. Who is laughing now?

Moral of the story. Don't make fun of the little guy. It can come back to bite you in the ass. In Germany's case, it was a disastrous bite in the ass. Now, the Germans have lost any chance of bringing home World Cup glory to relieve their Winter 2022 misery.
