The truth about Musk's Twitter takeover, according to this tweeter:
The Twitter takeover also hit Tesla stock hard:
An article written by someone who was taking copium and daydreaming deserves today's "Putin Soiled Himself" Investigative Report Award.
A good summary of the Western psyche:

The thing is, nowadays it is impossible for any country (including the US) to send tens of thousands of troops to destroy Iran's government and just leave. Too expensive. The result can be a new leader declaring revenge or the current leader just hiding somewhere until the US run out of money and have to withdraw. Especially when Iran has a huge missile stock.
What I said is: Iran and its military faction is the most powerful military faction in the middle east. Not Iran itself. Iran is the only one that forms a brotherhood alliance against the west interventionists in the middle east.
Bathing in a common enemy's blood does improve the relationship, especially when people trade their weapons, tactics, food, and power fairly during (and after) the fight. Not to mention their share religion. They mourn for the same martyrs dying fighting the west(many are civilians killed by the US/Isreal army) and support the families of martyrs with food and money.
If Iran keeps calm, does not invade other countries like in the past decades, and gets along well with China, I think it has a bright future.

UK sends 1,200 troops to plug staffing gap due to massive strikes

The British government announced on Sunday that it will dispatch about 1,200 troops and 1,000 civil servants to fill in for striking ambulance and border staff over Christmas.
The move, intended to keep front-line services running as multiple public sector unions walk off the job in the week before Christmas, was criticized by one of the United Kingdom's largest trade unions, which said military staff are not "sufficiently trained" to take on ambulance roles.
UK's Health Secretary Steve Barclay responded that their priority is to keep patients safe.
Due to cost-of-living increase and pay disputes, UK faces weeks of massive strikes during the Christmas season by transport and postal workers, nurses and border guards.
Unions are seeking pay increases to keep pace with inflation, which was running at 10.7 percent in November, down slightly from 11.1 percent in October but still a 40-year high.
According to the BBC, some 10,000 ambulance staff will join in the walkouts on December 21 and 28.

I don't give a rat's ass about Twitter but they better air out all the dirty laundry before going bankrupt.

It was reported a few days ago that Rishi Sunak / Admin was drafting anti-strike laws to make it illegal for them to strike lol.

Never understood how the hell the West always blamed fentanyl on the Chinese government. All fentanyl that goes to the West is exported by Triad gangs, what does the government have anything to do with this? Its the CPC's fault for not eradicating them? Pssh, yeah no shit, organized crime isn't exactly an easy thing to stamp out anywhere. Just look at how much luck America has had with drug cartels despite bieng a superpower.
No, this is about cutting of global dollar-based funding to Chinese startups and it is serious. Most if not all of the biggest private equity funds in the world are based in US, afew in Europe and UK. They manage(more like monopolies) capital from the wealthy families all over the world(through private banks), and since the funds are based in US, the managers have to adhere with US gov laws. These funds have with them a focus bias ; 80% will be funneled into supporting US-based startups. Such new "scrunitize" will mean global funding will no longer go towards funding any strategic Chinese sectors.
Don't get me started. Just last month I got the opportunity to invest in one of the biggest funding round in 2023, with bright prospect and the only few with rising valuation this year. The presentation session took me by surprise : it is Anduril, a US startup making autonomous killing systems, drones, sensors and loitering ammunition. Their deck is BAM defending democracy, how to contain China :
screenshot below to give you guys how bad it is. Turned it down. But this shit is over subbed as global investors are promised up to x10 return, to fucking fund the US war machine. China doesn't help much by closing off their sectors from receiving a;; foreign funding and will be on the losing end vs the money gunning for US sectors.
Lo and hehold, Anduril's unmanned sub for Australia is aimed squarely at China.
