How more satrapies how better. That strengthens their hegemony. Their goal until 2015 was to nudge the PRC in being a bigger Japan serving their rules based order. That is still their goal but now they will use suppression and containment.

Mexican cartels (Cartel Del Golfo, CDG) is reportedly equipped with US javelins or Swedish AT-4s lmao.
Likely from Ukraine.
They got AT4’s only (for now), not Javelins. Javelins are significantly wider than AT4’s. The media outlet misidentified it. Regardless, it’s pretty obvious where they are getting it, and it will be a nasty weapon towards the Mexican Army and police that are currently fielding light vehicles during their patrols.
And Americans will be bogged down in Mexico if they're dumb enough to actually invade that country illegally all in the name of whatever f..d up marketing propaganda their MIC is going to come up with.
Given that an NBA star is paid in the millions and has massive fame, ascension of Asians into the NBA is a great way for the USG to encourage equal representation. Therefore, we demand that 5% of the spots in the NBA draft be reserved for Asian candidate, in contrast to the paltry 1% that Asians occupy currently.
If the NBA and other major sports organizations can implement such affirmative actions, the asian community would be a little bit more receptive to aa in the university level. Just a little bit.

Xi has no more illusions, because DPP seeking US nuclear umbrella is one of the worst case scenarios.
What is India afraid of? Letting its people know how far ahead China really is?
Musk is so busy in China right now because he wants to double gigafactory Shanghai's output ASAP. Tweeting is the least important thing for him at the moment. Some of the female Chinese diaspora reporters are really bad.
Probably too little too late:
San Francisco is a literal sh*thole.
LMAO - such is "democracy" in the US and "press freedom" in UK:

Such weapons are only going to be used against rival cartels or against the military if the government tries to arrest a cartels leadership again. For daily patrols, the Mexican military uses technicals. It would be easier to have the cartel soldiers pretend to be civilians and drive up along side or behind the unarmored military trucks and use rifles or shotguns if a cartel wanted to openly attack a military patrol.
More effective would be to bribe not only the foot soldiers, but the military and political leadership which the cartels already do.
