If NK doesn’t have nukes, China can send in troops to quash any regime-change attempts. However, since NK has nukes and if the rebels managed to get their hands on nukes and threaten to use them on China if she send in troops, China most likely can only watch while NK gets regime changed. Is that a good outcome for China?

Please look up the histories of Sino-NK relationships. Kims were never friendly toward China. The threat of NK using nukes on Beijing severely limits what China can do if NK goes rogue.
Do you think letting Vietnam to have nukes a good idea? China and Vietnam used to be “blood brothers” too.

Relationships between countries are all based on interests. How were the relationship between Vietnam and China in the 60’s? Blood brothers? How low did the relationship go after the end of the war? Do you think it is in China’s interest for Vietnam to have nukes?
NK were never that friendly toward China anyways. If the US collapses tomorrow, what will the North Korea‘ attitude be toward China given their history? Any competent Chinese leader should not take the chance of a nuclear-armed neighbour turning against China.

Again, NK isn't a Chinese vassal, and China isn't going to behave like a certain hegemony.

The relationship between China and NK isn't based on some "blood brother bond" nonsense, it's based on cold hard interests. After the fall of the Soviet Union, China is the only thing keeping the NK regime afloat, and they know it very well. As such, this relationship is nothing like the China-Vietnam relationship.

Your hypotheticals are rather irrelevant. The US isn't going to collapse tomorrow, and no NK rebels can even get their hands on a tank, never mind nukes.

It seems to me your view of NK is based more on Western propaganda than on facts and reason.

It was nice when the login pop up for scrolling too much was removed. Then they put it back up for searching. Now you are required to login to even view a fucking tweet. So it either remains a woke liberal despot or operated by a monopolistic asshole. Pick your poison I guess.

Regardless of the reason it will negatively impact the company. Fewer people will visit over time and forget about it as they've moved onto another platform.

No, my views are based on realist point of view. A neighbour with an RPG will always be a threat, regardless of the his/her relationship with you.

I never said NK is a Chinese vassal and the Kims will never allow it to be one. A country as powerful as the US never allowed any of its allies to acquire nukes for a reason.

Advertisers will be impacted. Isn’t Meta making a twitter clone currently? Not sure when they intend to release it.

UK, France, Israel not US allies now?

This kind of view is exactly why the US is risking WW3 in order to "contain" China. Hegemonic policies are self-defeating in the long run. China is walking a different path.

While imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, America's new industrial policies are destined to fail because their oligarchies will use government subsidies to enrich themselves by buying back shares and inflate stock prices instead of using these to increase productivity.

China will win the industrial and economic wars against the US. They don't have to fight a real war.

With the inevitable loss of the Ukraine war, accelerating deindustrialization of Germany, and the burning of Paris, the EU has no choice but to tune down its rhetoric against China.

3 days of rioting and the French police are up in arms? Lol.

French police demand government acts, threaten ‘resistance’​

The two largest police unions in France called on Friday for President Emmanuel Macron’s government to “restore order” and not capitulate to rioters, saying they were fighting a war today but may well become “the resistance” tomorrow.

“Now that’s enough,” said the statement by the Alliance Police Nationale and UNSA Police, posted on Facebook on Friday evening.

“Faced with these wild hordes, asking for calm is no longer enough, you have to impose it!” the unions said, adding that the only political signal needed at this moment is to restore the order in the republic. “Our colleagues, like the majority of citizens, can no longer endure the dictates of these violent minorities. Now is not the time for union action but for the fight against these ‘harm-makers’. Submitting, capitulating and pleasing them by laying down our arms is not the solution, given the gravity of the situation.”
