On the twelfth day of Christmas
My president gave to me
Twelve Rotting Soybeans…




An rude awakening is coming when they find out China has domestic alternatives. An embargo for an embargo.
are they trying to suggest pirating software is somehow not a thing that's easily done? That said though all these years of slowly and gradually decoupling from US software is now paying dividends.

With RE it's China bans export of something only China can make, with software and the way supply chain works it's basically American wanting to ban China and by extension the world from buying anything not made with Chinese software, lol

I guess it's time for all Chinese phones to switch to HarmonyOS

Absolutely not the same, our lands were stolen by illegal invasions and treaties made under unequal terms!!! Both are fundamentally different, DO NOT make the false equivalence between Russia and China. One is for expansionism while the other is simply seeking justice and righting wrongs.

Also, I never mentioned about 1945 boundaries! You are putting words in my mouth and making false equivalences, all for defending Russia! I always talked about the invasions and unequal treaties signed during the Century of Humiliation of China, as well as the Soviet infiltration in Outer-Mongolia and balkanizing of China, these are very condemnable imperialistic moves done against us! I never once mentioned 1945 boundaries! In fact 1945 boundaries is not even relevant as USSR is a big player in 1945, they did not sign any kind of unequal treaty like China did!!!

I DO NOT remember Russia had made any decision or signed any treaties regarding Ukraine from a position of duress or unequal terms. Russian were always dominant from the start, especially in 1945, and they choose their own path. And now dragging our very legitimate position down to their level to make up for Russia's own political mistakes and lack of political maneuvering is something only a Russian and a Sinophobe would do!

I am absolutely disappointed in every single one of your comments, you are basically defending Russian with delusions and bad logics, even at the detriment of China. If you tell me you are Russian, I might understand why you say these things, if not, then that is really a huge shame and disappointment!
There is nothing special about 19th century borders either. There is nothing illegal or immoral about an unfair treaty. If you are strong there is no such thing as an unfair treaty, if you are weak every treaty is unfair.

Everyone else gave back their territory not because they love China but because they were defeated. Russia wasn't defeated and now they can't be at low cost due to nukes. It happens.

Sometimes you get injustice forced on you. That's life. We do it to others too. In fact being able to force others to accept injustice is a form of strength. Why would anyone apologize for being strong?

Russia should be doing a huge infiltration operation to rigg Ukraine back on favorable grounds, go ahead and sponsor a new coup or anything similar.

But NO, the Russians are too damn lazy to go the false "moral" and "justifiable" pretentious route which is a way smarter tactic politically, that is how every smart nation plays. Russians are impatient and strategically unrefined, why should we be sacrificing our own legitimate positions for their own self-chosen apathy towards international political maneuvering?

So all our efforts in political maneuvering all these years for our own self-interest, showing huge restrains against flat out naked military actions, and staying on consistent logic and legitimate frameworks, should all be thrown down the drain for Russia? So I ask you again, are you Russian?
Russians are too sophisticated for this Europe and Ukraine. They use alot of code words.
When Japanese ex PM Abe offered Japanese medical technologies for older people several years back Putin reply was it is better to invest in creating new life. I posted the link here few days ago.
Putin want new generation away from Europe and Soviet past. what can accelerate adoption of this new character. one is Ukraine conflict and the other?

The Dutch should pay reparations for the theft, equal to book value of Nexperia plus damages, Nexperia's China factories remain independently Chinese, in exchange for Euro industries to have the privilege of applying for export licenses for the low end chips they need.
Although I would perfer to see the entirety of euro manufacturing go bombaclaat.
Don't want it; too little too late. I say we brick and break everything in the Dutch branch of Nexperia and just leave them with the rubble. The Dutch need to be made an example of. By the end of this, the world should understand a fundamental difference in thinking between the West and China. The West often causes problems for others but when they do it, they intend to solve the problems they have caused as leverage to get something they want. China rarely causes problems for anyone, but when we do it, we have no intention to roll back anything because that country has thoroughly convinced China that they suck and thus, China has caused these problems for them because China believes that they deserve to have these problems.

Zero Hedge is a Falun Gong outlet.


Yet some female Chinese diaspora "reporter" wants to gaslight you into believing that the eminently affordable EVs in China is a bad thing.

Here is Glenn's comment and rebuttal:

Even better
Ask her if her preference is for more giant size dinosaur burning SUVs as GM is building once subsidies were eliminated

MB: One of the things that we made an adjustment already was the fact that we were planning to have one of our factories in Lake Orion, Michigan be an electric plant. When we looked at the shift and what’s happening with tariffs, we decided that we were going to expand the capacity, because right now, for instance, full-size utility vehicles, we can’t build enough of them, because the demand is so strong.

US military strikes boat in Eastern Pacific in apparent expansion of campaign against alleged drug trafficking​

The US military conducted a lethal strike against a boat in the eastern Pacific on Tuesday, killing both people on board, according to Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth.

The strike on the vessel in the Pacific, the 8th known strike by the US military on an alleged drug-smuggling vessel since the start of September, appears to mark an expansion of the US military campaign, with all seven previous strikes targeting boats in the Caribbean Sea.

At least 34 people in total have been killed in the eight strikes, officials have said.

“Narco-terrorists intending to bring poison to our shores, will find no safe harbor anywhere in our hemisphere,” Hegseth said on X Wednesday.

Hegseth said the boat targeted in the Pacific was “being operated by a Designated Terrorist Organization and conducting narco-trafficking in the Eastern Pacific” and “was known by our intelligence to be involved in illicit narcotics smuggling, was transiting along a known narco-trafficking transit route, and carrying narcotics.”

The secretary added that no US forces were hurt in the strike and compared the traffickers to al Qaeda.

“Just as Al Qaeda waged war on our homeland, these cartels are waging war on our border and our people. There will be no refuge or forgiveness—only justice,” he wrote.

The Trump administration has produced a classified legal opinion seeking to justify lethal strikes against a secret and expansive list of cartels and suspected drug traffickers, CNN has reported.

The opinion is significant, legal experts previously told CNN, because it treats drug traffickers as enemy combatants who can be summarily killed without any kind of judicial review.

The US struck at least two other vessels last week in the Caribbean, one of which did not kill everyone on board. Rather than hold two survivors detained by the US Navy after one of those strikes, the US repatriated the survivors back to their home countries of Ecuador and Colombia.

The situation was potentially going to set up a legal and policy dilemma for the administration because it was unclear what legal authority the US military would be able to cite to detain them indefinitely.

It appears the possibility of the US bombing random Chinese ships and maybe cargo ships could be on the horizon. In a potential blatant act of war.
