Tusk is even worse, these Poles are basically pushing for their own Meloni to send more weapons to Ukraine.

Swiss capital votes for legal cocaine​

The municipal council of Bern voted on Thursday to extend the trial sale of cannabis to cocaine. The drug will not be immediately legalized, however, without the federal government’s permission.

The motion, which was introduced by the Alternative Left party, passed by 43 votes to 18, Swiss news outlet SRF reported on Friday. The motion was opposed by center-right and religious councilors, but supported by leftists and some members of the center-left Social Democratic Party.

Bern voted last year to test the controlled sale of cannabis, and was granted permission by the federal government last month. Cannabis sales are expected to begin in Bern this fall, and have already started in Basel, Zurich, and Lausanne.

Noting that the federal government only agreed to allow cannabis sales after significant pressure from multiple cities, Bern Social Director Franziska Teuscher said her city would not push the government to act on cocaine, and that Thursday’s vote instead sent a signal that the city would be open to the idea in future.

The first half is pretty much what I said. But if China’s goal is to meet America head on, it would mean war, and more than just Micron that gets banned. And that may just play right into America’s plan.

US will escalate sanctions w/wo talks. China wants to talk, but not without removing the sanctions first. How do you pressure the US to do that without risking an actual war. “”Can US stand these risky air and sea encounters and not talk for 5 years””. Classic risk management.

how does that play right into US plan? US doesn't need an excuse to start a war against China, it can just start shooting and find out what happens.

Even in accordance with diplomatic precedent however, US already has 3 separate casus belli:

1. responsibility to protect against a 'genocide', per Yugoslavia.
2. right to preemptively deploy troops to defend a major non-NATO ally, per precedent from Operation Desert Shield
3. right to defend own sovereignty from illicit shipments, same justification as the Opium Wars.

So even if reasons were needed to politically sell a shooting war on China to the public, those reasons already exist.

The only reason it hasn't done so is because it doesn't have the capability to do so.

4. Tell the DPP to declare independence and then come to the aid of Taiwan in the name of democracy and freedom. English Vegetable is literally awaiting the order.

Problem is, if the US doesn't want to fuck around and find out today, it definitely won't want to fuck around and find out 5-10-15 years from now.

according to their world renowned institutions like John Hopkins University and NYT who never lie and are never wrong, China is actually in decline, so waiting 5-10-15 years for China to naturally collapse is a great idea.
