Is that from the rock? I didn't hear it from the movie, I heard it from some people in real life.

Its the same sentiment, although I suspect dialed down a bit, lol.
Are you trying to quote Sean Connery from the rock? It's "losers always whine about their best, winners go home and fuck the prom queen".

Here the US didn't even bother to try, so losers already beat them.

Russia is not in a good spot. Believe it or not, I consider Russia to be in relative decline.
People can talk about military, geopolitics, gas etc, but in the end what matters the most is the state of the economy.
This is Russian government statistics how they measure things domestically. i am sure Japan will get different GDP number if Putin is there leader. they have plenty of money to do all the things they want and those things are very big.
They only give extra construction contracts to Turkish/European/Asian builders what is surplus.

The only recipient of Marshall funds in that system was Japan and the sum itself was not that big. There is a myth that the US re-built all countries from the ground up, the Marshall plan merely gave torque to the ones who could exploit it. South Korea primarily developed through remittances of Koreans working abroad (btw, the same is true for China, most of the early FDI and currency inflows came from overseas Chinese communities, not the West) and Japanese investments\JVs.
you should read some background of TSMC leaders. they got hands on training in Ohio US. They still use Western industrial and software systems in making products.
you cannot develop with remittances unless that scientific and industrial knowledge is transferred. Koreans still have vast research centers in Non-Asian countries.
Give the sources on that, plus include the rankings of research centers that show they are the best. I bet you are going to again sourcelessly circlejerk about "muh rushinz" and the few research centers Samsung has there, lol.
If they are not best they wont hire in those centers. as when it use that intellectual property. there is alot of investment and money change hands.
I could say the same about Russia and SCS. I am sure you had geography classes - take a look at the proximity of Chinese borders to Europe, the Middle East, and Africa.
it is about dealing with US allies. Try this with South Korea or Japan.
You have some extreme German fetish in addition to a Russian one. Also, give the source on "Middleast will be selling its energy at very different prices to Asia", is it your ass again? Lol. Let's not forget that Russia sold gas to Europe at lower prices than they did to Asia, so nah, you can take your white savior fairytales somewhere else.
yup. Mideastern leaders vacation , families and banking in West. you are still under estimating the challenge dealing with them.
Russia / EU relationship is not very transparent. so you cannot assume why some thing is sold at what price as on other side Russian will be working.

Absolutely shameful what Taiwan had become. I've heard from some Pan Blue Taiwanese that ROC saved Chinese culture while PRC was destroying it. Now, what can they say?

A 'Communist dictatorship' govt can revive Chinese culture. While a free and democratic govt is prostituting Chinese culture to American new age hedonistic crap. Till today, I have friends who insist that Taiwan and HK are the only places where 'true Chinese culture exists'. I can only facepalm.
Hong Kong? Lol like what "authentic" Chinese culture do they practice there? Looting, rioting, and prostrating for the British Queen? Thank goodness I don't have those kind of friends, otherwise, I'll probably would have lost it. No self-respecting Chinese should even dare say such ridiculous and unfounded crap to begin with. I didn't realize that Imperial China practiced Democracy from the preceding millenia only to be upended by the darn commies. What a hoot.

Don't just speak, give sources. How is that related to the investments though?
They still use Western industrial and software systems in making products.
Yes, they do. They also use Japanese equipment as well, and even

. None of that is related to FDI.

True but I didn't say otherwise. The sources of technological transfers were primarily Japanese JVs, I even mentioned that in the previous post.
Koreans still have vast research centers in Non-Asian countries.
Western countries have vast research centers in Asian countries.
If they are not best they wont hire in those centers. as when it use that intellectual property. there is alot of investment and money change hands.
So you don't have any sources that "Samsung's best R&D centers are in non-Asian countries", ok.
it is about dealing with US allies. Try this with South Korea or Japan.
Personally, I consider that to be a very weird flex but if you insist... Do you mean like

You said that if it wasn't for Russia, the Middle East would have increased the prices for Asian countries. I asked for sources. You provided none and started talking about "yup. Mideastern leaders vacation, families and banking in West". No coherence again, so I assume that the source was your head again.
Russia / EU relationship is not very transparent. so you cannot assume why some thing is sold at what price as on other side Russian will be working.
So basically you are trying to say - "yeah, Russia actually sells cheaper to Europe but I want to save face so I will make some vague roundabout". Roger that.

Julian Assange is nominated the Nobel Peace Prize? That would be great news. But none of the big MSM is reporting this. Still yet to be officially verified.

Nevertheless, even if its true. Julian Assange can't win that Nobel Peace Prize. This is one of the most politically rigged awards in the world. Joshua Wong, and Greta Thunberg are probably far ahead of the queue to win the the Nobel Peace Prize than Julian Assange.
