Football clubs going to Arab countries.
MIG-29 upgrade is for Arabs thats why it need to be parked inside so the condition is new. when you sell some thing better have upgrades for next couple of decades and MIG-35 looks like MIG-29M. it is much easy to hide tech, weopons and numbers.

That's why China is fighting them on this, short of military intervention we can't absolutely prevent US from censoring tiktok, but we can make it hurt their reputation so much that US gets deterred every time they consider it.

TikTok being ban in the United State can also be seen as a win for China. 150 million American will inch closer to believing their government is corrupt and they also live under authoritarian/oligarch rule. There are now 2 billion Tik Tok users in the world, Americans not creating content on the platform means US loses soft power exposure. If i was bytedance/china, i would auto repost some of the good douyin content over to tiktok to push Chinese softpower.

he said Soviet union used to display planes ahead of time before they actually matured. Now from one flight it is difficult to judge its generation.

I don't think he is the only Westerner who confuses China with USSR. On the other hand, if it's so difficult to judge the performance with a few flights, why the word "Trash" flashing so predominantly on the screen? The person who made the clip is just catering for those who want to see China to fail.

Exactly who takes Michael Pettis seriously? A thread:

I'm actually shocked so many Europeans are saying 5% military spending is good if it's not spent on US weapons.
And not economic suicide.
Maybe they think 5% is a nice round number, like Trump?

This is only a privilege for petrostates.

I don't even know why western europe would remain in NATO. Let the warmongering eastern state remain since they would be the first to get hit if anything happen. They have more of an reason to hold up the defense and fight to the last.
