It’s not accurate, simply ridiculous seriously speaking. Although looking at it from another angle and consider the relationship with the UK and US and yeah, it’s right on the mark and it’s long overdue for a prison break out from those worthless overseers

The point i am making is Ukraine is not indicator of supply chain constraints. It simply not important enough to reshuffle things. If Ukraine was important to US than Ukraine air force would look like Australian, Israeli, Korean, Japanese or Saudi. or you think US can twist every one outside Europe to buy high end US equipment but it cannot force Europe to buy US systems.
Ukraine has to make press statement to show gratitude so it stays in news but it is small help relative to scale of conflict. i doubt it can count attack choppers now.
Now both US and Europe have imported much higher number of immigrants than any time before. so things in Civilian sector will work out first. no one could have estimated how many people needed until the system was put under test during Covid and remote work.
how much is value of switchblade contract?. US simply not competitive in small stuff with lower economic value. it could outsource to countries like Turkey, Korea or Israel but that more political decision.
When state like California which is only attracts people either at lower end of skills or higher end and not exactly known for manufacturing can make so many different Tesla at reasonable prices tell you the degree of competitiveness of US manufacturing and logistics. Global aviation is still running based on Western supply chains and that is most important metric of health of of industrial strength. semiconductor revenues will go down but airline revenue both passenger and cargo in the world keep increasing and likely surpass much more than half trillion dollar. People are paying for it thats why they are opening it.
So that is the sub who destroyed the NordStream pipeline.
You can already know that your opponent is just a bunch of pathetic losers that you shouldn't even bother wasting time to reason with, when "more sanctions" and "more bans" (MSMB) are all they know what to do in response.
absolutely wrong.
Russians imposed Russian culture and language on the Baltics after effortlessly conquering them within weeks. No Russian leader ever feared for his life in the Baltics. Russia already had great achievements in art, science and literature before conquering the Baltics.
Yuan did not impose Mongolian culture and language on China. Oppositely, Yuan adopted Chinese customs and language. China, not Mongolia, had the greater achievements in art, science and literature. Song China resisted fiercely over 50 years and killed Mongke Khan. Mongol leaders constantly feared for their lives after the conquest and preferred interacting with Persians as the intermediary with an angry Chinese bureaucracy.
Chinese overthrew the Yuan by force independently, then multiple , even . China punished Mongolia to the degree where they went from a massive empire in 1200 to a depopulated shell country of vassals by 1500. Even today there's more Mongols in China than Mongolia itself.
Baltics didn't achieve independence by themselves, they just waited the Russians out while they were pressured by foreign forces. They don't even dare to dream of conquering or punishing Russia.
Any Chinese company not helping to pool together resources for technological independence deserves what’s coming to them.
In the "Great East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere", Japan is a well-deserved manufacturing overlord, with a complete industrial chain and strong innovation capabilities, and has a huge trade surplus with China. Relatively speaking, China is just an inconspicuous small player, and most of its production capacity is concentrated on a small island in the southeast.
Finally. It's prime time.
New Legislation Proposed By China To Protect Overseas Chinese
Hopefully the law can be passed in the NPC of China ASAP.
May not be effective against Western countries (bar Australia), but could be useful as a warning/deterrence against countries around China that are: 1. Pro-West and anti-China, AND 2. Have histories and/or tendencies of mistreating the Chinese on their home soil.

This should only be a pure domestic law, not the so-called "domestic law" of the long-arm jurisdiction of the United States.
My Polish friend, you have to understand that as a historian your historical views are coloured by the perspective of your own nation. Let's go through a few examples.
Today, the Mongols (except for the neo-Nazi Khalkhas) are an important constituent nationality of the Chinese civilizational community.
We don't mind the Ming and Qing's post-Mongol label because our ancestors were honest about both the good and bad aspects of the Mongol Rule. However, in Eastern Europe people are too caught up with scapegoating Russians for everything that went wrong, which we do not need to follow.
Let's be honest here, possession is nine tenths of the law. The idea that Stalin's puppet governments who joined the USSR are less legitimate than, say, the post-WW2 French and West German governments established by US occupation is purely arbitrary and based on modern self interests. For Russophobic types — and frankly, PL Commonwealth descendants are irrationally Russophobic and seem to have forgotten what they themselves had done to easterners in the 17th century that started the fight in the first place — everything the Russians do is illegitimate. We have no obligation on the other side of the world to agree.
All Chinese historical chronicles since the 1270s (Mongol-supervised) and 1360s (Han-supervised) list the Mongol Yuan as a legitimate dynasty of China and part of its lineage of succession. The Mongols, by constructing the Ortoo Yam, a highly advanced and well regulated network of trading and full-time messenger relay posts all across the Empire, the first worldwide communication system, helped to unify massive areas of land. The system was retained in both the Ming dynasty and the Tsardom of Rus. The Ming and Qing both offered sacrifices to the Mongol emperors as their predecessors and continued almost all of the Mongols' multicultural religious activities, including Mongol shamanism, which helped to heal divides between ethnicities. Even the Ming founder Zhu Yuanzhang constantly spoke of himself as the rightful successor of the Yuan who restored order, not as a rebel. (David M Robinson, In the Shadow of the Mongol Empire; Robinson, Ming China and Its Allies; Robinson, the Ming Court; Jinping Wang, In the Wake of the Mongols)

Again, same issue of self-interested perspective. According to this strand of argument, the Petrine Germanization reforms supposedly created a new Russia. The Soviet Marxist (that guy isn't Russian) reforms also created a new Russia. Mongol suzerainty, also new Russia. So, according to this logic, the Mohyla reforms which were based on Western-Jesuit ideas, spread from Kiev and became the basis of 17th century Moscow reform and the root of the modern Russian language? Did it also create a new Russia? What about the cultural influx from Byzantium to Moscow when the former collapsed, which many historians argue is the real source of Russian autocracy? also new Russia? Just a whole series of unhelpful hair splitting. Could we also say that the 1804-1819 Russian abolition of serfdom in the Baltic governorates also created a new Baltic?
I've seen so many Russians saying the exact same thing about their relationship with your country. Every strong country in the world thinks that they are doing other nations a favour by "leading" them, and every weaker country thinks that the stronger country is creating a pretext for domination, be it Colonialism, Intermarium, Warsaw Pact, NATO, East Asian Coprosperity sphere. Yes that also applies to China's foreign relations. The difference is in being able to separate feelings from logic, and analyse what this "leadership" really entails. In the USSR, it was introducing an economic system we now know to be ineffective. In the case of the US, simply suppressing all major economic competitors.
