US pauses military aid to Ukraine, media reports​

WASHINGTON, March 3 (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump has paused all military aid to Ukraine following his clash with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy last week, according to media reports on Monday.

The pause will last until Trump determines the country's leaders demonstrate a good-faith commitment to peace, according to Bloomberg and Fox News reports.

"This is not permanent termination of aid, it's a pause," Fox News quoted a Trump administration official as saying.

I'm loving the do nothing and win meme more and more. Not just because it accurately reflects China's growth, but because it misleads others in trying the same thing. I've recently seen Jai Hinds adopting the do nothing and win meme :p
The meme is a meme because the majority of people hasn't bothered to learn Modern Chinese history.

In order to do nothing, you'd have to:

1. Survive 20-odd years of insurgency
2. Survive the most brutal foreign occupation in history
3. Win a bloody and intense civil war
4. Liquidate the landlord class and the counter-revolutionaries
5. Implement land-reform
6. Mass Industrialisation
7. Public education and public healthcare, down to the most impoverished and remote villages
8. Win a grinding war of attrition against the US and its allies
9. Withstand your close ally becoming a revisionist, Socialist Imperial Power
10. Develope a nuclear arsenal and credible ICBMs
11. Figure out an entirely new political theory to govern your own nation
12. Survive the passing of your Founding Fathers
13. Recover from 10 years of political turmoil and struggles
14. Retain State control of the economy whilst simultaneously opening and reforming your economy
15. Survive the fall of other Socialist states
16. Eradicate religious cults
17. Withstand the humiliation of having your tanker seized, your embassy bombed, and your warplane rammed
18. Seize the opportunity to further develop your economy and modernise your military as the global hegemon gets bogged down inside the Graveyard of Empires
19. Make heavy investment in infrastructure whilst gently deflating the housing bubble

That's just on top of my head. Each point is worth of a library in its own right. India might have done points 2 and 3 (if you count the wars with Pakistan as civil wars) but they are still stuck on land-reform and industrialisation, let alone public education and healthcare.

Most people are angry about TSMC being given for free to the US.

For the select few who know, this is perfect news. It's more like a green light for China to commence reunification
Its funny because TSMC dont have enough years left to complete anything they invest, but in the meantime it gives Americans just enough copium to keep relying on TSMC.
