Israeli? But I dont think Arab Jews or Russian Jews understand both language?

Russian is the second most spoken language in Israel, ahead of Arabic which is almost compulsory in IDF. And everyone has been in the IDF, except a minority religious groups. How are you going to occupy Arab lands with Arab subjects if you don't speak Arabic?

You spread a very dangerous and aggressively revanchists position when you imply any equality at all between Russia's expeditionary war and China merely defending itself. This is a party line spread by the extreme US nationalist who want to annex parts of China and should not be parroted by anyone who wants peace.

You can also say Russia is defending itself because Ukraine, specifically Kiev, is technically Russian (origin of Russia, i.e. Kievan Rus).

The US said that Saudi Arabia shouldn't be friends with China because they're making EVs that will destroy how they make money. And how can universally everyone can see someone is evil? It's because evil can have two contradictory thoughts at the same time.

I don't study civilizations without technology.

Then don't write it. There's enough fiction stories already. The only reason Arabs have any money is because advanced societies developed machines that run on oil. Based on Arab technology alone, oil is worth nothing.

Alot of scientific oriented civilizations are bankrupt even now let alone in past and its better they concentrated on Soft Power not this Scientific Hard power otherwise this world will be very different place. If you dont study this particular civilization than dont be surprized things turned out differently than expectations. basically world divided between Jews and Muslim elites and every one else stand behind these two groups. They want him to say this to Arabic version. wait for missile test before interview to make the boring interview headline.

These foreign machines made the Arabs rich, but they can also kill the Arabs if they refuse to feed them. So in the end, Arabs control nothing.

yeah sure Arabs control nothing. This long duration of Ukraine war cannot happen without Arabs. If you want to study Ukraine war or Syrian conflict. You study Arabic. if you want study Wealth. you study Arabic. and if you want to study high technology than you study what direction they are giving it to countries like of Israel, Japan and Russia. with Russia it goes much deeper due to religion. This link was posted by RT Arabic correspondent 5 years ago. but who knows when she filmed the Programme but the thing she mentioned Kinzal missile for Su-34. now just think about this prediction at time. once you put these missiles on tactical aircraft it means pilot training and mass productions starts along with transportation mechanisms to deliver those missiles to distributive airbases and targeting chain for long range strikes. it is like destroying naval ports and infrastructure to render opponent surface navy obsolete. It is all about hard power to protect that Soft Power.

I suppose so. In any case, I've always been in favor of Russian revanchism because these countries supported revanchism against China first.

By the same logic the USSR was legitimate in annexing nazi lands, reviving Axis claims from ww2 in 2024 should also mean you are a legitimate target for annexation. That goes both for reviving ideological nazism (glorification of SS, Wehrmacht, IJA) and revanchism of Axis borders (annexation of Taiwan, Kaliningrad or fantasies of creating Reichskommisariats in Eastern Europe/Russia).

Ultimately it's nazism and it's destructive adherents that are the largest threat to peace, so it's justified to partition their countries and install direct guidence to undo their brainwashing and prevent them from disputing the status quo again.

From India news: "Union Telecom Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia on Tuesday said Elon Musk-owned Starlink is yet to comply with security norms, and a licence for satellite communications services will be issued only after they meet all the requirements for services in India.
The satellite communication services major is in the process of completing all the requirements and will get a licence once they complete the process, the minister added.

"We are more than happy to give them (licence) if they (Starlink) comply with all the conditions. You have to look at it from a security perspective, making sure that all security concerns are addressed. When they do that we will be more than happy to give it. Obviously, they are in the process of doing it," Scindia told reporters."

"Tesla's CEO, Elon Musk, had planned a visit to India earlier this year to meet with Prime Minister Narendra Modi, government officials, and spacetech executives. During this trip, Musk was expected to announce Tesla's intention to establish an EV manufacturing facility in India. However, he abruptly postponed the visit.
In an interview with ET, Commerce and industry minister Piyush Goyal has said, “We have come out with a policy. We are open to any company investing under that policy or even otherwise. That policy is only an enabler. If somebody wishes to import, we have given the possibility that you can import and market in India prior to even setting up the factory, if you are committing to set up the factory.”" (wasnt this what Musk proposed to India b4? But allegedly rejected?)
"“There are many who are ready to set up the factory, wait that time, instead of importing and then sell India-made cars. For example, VinFast is coming in. They could have imported under the policy but decided to start production. We welcome that better,” he said when asked about the status of a possible Tesla investment in India.
Regarding Chinese automaker BYD's plans to invest in India, Piyush Goyal said there is currently no active proposal under consideration. “If anybody or any company comes with any proposal for Chinese investments, it goes through a process. We take a call on every application under that process,” he said."

Russians didn't have origins in Nazi lands though, not even in any fabricated propaganda. But nobody disputes the origin of Russia (as a state) from Kiev.

Unironically yes, especially after housing reform. Americans and Europeans don't really comprehend the difference in life quality between them and China, especially in the major cities.

Home ownership among young people is 70% to US' 20%, now keep in mind US is infamous already for having easy access to large (if outdated) housing "mcmansions". The average young person in China can now either choose a studio apartment in a world class metropolis, or a mansion in the countryside/suburbs, that is likely a newer build than their US counterparts. And it's most of the time ownership, not rent.

People choose to either work full schedule which is a guaranteed climb from middle to upper or working to middle class in maybe a decade. Or if they have no economy ambitions, they can literally go "lying flat" schedules which means work 2 months in easy jobs (such as overseeing machines in a factory a few days a week), then 2 months off doing whatever they want. This would be unthinkable for 90% of the population in the west.

China is surrounded by cheap tourist destinations. Even in China itself, you can afford to travel anywhere cheaply in the country, eat outside every meal at upscale or healthy restaurants, and have money left to shop anything conceivable.

If you want to make huge amounts of money, despite being socialist, China is highly lenient with income tax. Many elite industries want super dedicated workers and will pay you high 6 figure dollar annual salaries if you put in the silicon valley work schedule. Even for a government employed consultant, which in US would be a low salary high stability desk job and in EU would recieve a laughable salary, China has lowered the salary cut off to 412 000 $. That's already enough to be comfortably upper class in the US, but prices in China are much much better.

Now imagine what private company workers on silicon valley schedule earn.

Chinese people don't seem insanely wealthy to the west because there isn't much people to people interaction and Beijing discourages expatriation by using capital controls.
