Skinny bean is actually useful for something for a change!! Whodathunkit!!
I feel kinda sorry for The Bridge. You can tell the guy has serious ambition but gets blocked at the last second every time by pure bad luck.
Objectively Elbow Patch is a realist and Tom Cotton a dangerous neocon extremist.

A hint of Polish firing squad in there... Instead of a situation of being blinded by being filled with hate, it's filled with wanting to play victim.

- China announced a proposal for export controls last month
- Proposal is having a "chilling effect" across industry, lawyer says
China punches back hard with export restrictions.
too late, the Ukrainian discover the scam that was the Ukraine war; this is why Americans trying to claim damages from covid, a bioweapon they unleashed themselves only to be hoisted by their own petard.
If the CIA didn’t have pedophile orgy tapes of European leaders for black mail I think they’d have rebelled by now.
Goddam European are so stupid and entitled. I have been reading comments regarding the sudden America shift to Russia over the last few days. There have been a few people that go "we need to shift to China to respond to this" and they immediately get dogpiled by dozens of comments going "Why would we partner with China, they are helping Russia, China is evil, Europe stronk- don't need China" and comments like that. They have no concept of hedging, fence sitting, playing hard to get, or realpolitik, something we in SEA have mastered, balancing both China and America to get benefits from both.
1) China has been pretty hands off with helping Russia. If China had provided Russia with substantial amounts of weapons and technology, even at 1/10th the scale that America and Europe are doing for Ukraine, Russia could have won the war by now.
2) China has helped Europe quite a bit, selling them the solar panels and EVs that will help them reduce their dependence on Russia oil, selling them the cotton and nitroglycerin needed for artillery production and selling Ukraine lots and lots of FPV drones. If China really wanted to fuck Europe over, they could have nudged the war heavily in Russia's favor via strict export controls.
They really don't understand realpolitik. Why should China go out of it's way to help Europe contain Russia, when Europe has been helping America contain China for decades? Why should China throw it's major ally into the dirt when Europe has been proven time and time again to be an unfriendly nation, that will likely go crawling back to America once Trump is gone? How about Europe starts selling EUV machines to China and allowing Chinese bases in Europe and then maybe China will be willing to actually put in effort into helping Europe, instead of a one sided relationship where China reins in Russia only for Europe to backstab China once their American masters ask them to.
And they don't seem to understand that being basically American vassals is what allows Americans to treat them like the dogs that they are. Because as bad as things are, Europe will likely just come crawling back to America once the heat dies down. Or when Trump finishes his 4 years. If Europe actually had a serious chance of flipping to China, to selling them EUV machines, to allowing Chinese bases in the region, America/Trump would be a lot more careful in their rhetoric. Just look at SEA, we have a decent chance of just outright flipping to China entirely, so America usually treats us very carefully.
