Funny on how I saw similar lines posted in some commentary, it gave good explanation why RUS-CHN opted for EURO for the 30-year deal:
"In the meanwhile, Russia and China signed a 30 year energy contract to be settled in EURO. That is playing GEOPOLITICS at multiple levels. The US could kill Saddam Hussein and Muammar Gaddafi for doing the same thing. It can't kill Putin and Xi. Added benefit for Russia and China, next to getting a hard currency, is that it will drive a wedge between Europe and the US. Countries are moving away from the Dollar and into the Euro. This could be bad news for Europe because that is another reason for the US to turn Europe into a smoking pile of rubble.
The die is cast."
Yet a lot of Europeans still see the Neocon/Neolib US and its English Lapdog as friends of Europe. I fear that even the half-way responsible nations of Europe might wake up too late to the threat the US Neocon/Neolib regime poses to Europe and the rest of the world.
As I have said before, this reminds me of Nazi Germany and its European vassal states (i.e.:Hungary, Romania, Italy,etc.) during World War 2. Both the US Neocon/Neolib regime and the German Nazi regime believe in the superiority of their ideology, that their nation stands above all in the world and that the rest of the world needs to follow their dictates. Both regimes speak of the benevolence of their malevolent actions against the world. Both regimes enjoy control or at least strong influence inside most of their major vassal/satellite states. As we all know, Nazi Germany's vassal states bailed long after they should have bailed. Their subservient, opportunistic and overly reckless behavior cost the lives of millions of people and brought unprecedented devastation to the European continent.
I sincerely hope that the nations of Europe come to their senses before it is too late and stop aiding and abetting a supremecasist regime that thinks it has the divine right to rule over all of humanity.
Oh my...
China's cultural revitalization is blooming and elevating culture and performance arts to new world-beating heights.
Breathtaking performance compared to agonizing ROC spring gala performance at 7:40.
Wanwans are very upset about the opening ceremony. Besides the you know "Chinese Taipei" part they are also having their glass heart moment over this scene with the glowing doves where one of them went astray and was then lead back into formation by another dove.
The girls wereabout this. Originally this part wasn't part of the performance. However it happened for real during one of the rehearsals and was noticed by Yi-Mou Zhang. He really liked the symbolism behind it so he had it included as part of this act officially.
Lol wut. It isn’t as if the dove was beaten into rejoining the group. I think they are being over sensitive.
I don't care what happens to Ukraine but people should stop making false equivalence statements. Tibet was never recognized as an independent nation but Ukraine is recognized as an independent country even by Russia itself. A closer comparison (but still not exact) would be quasi-states like South Ossetia.
Blinken is not capable of stealing the spotlight from anyone, much less from Xi and Putin. Blinken is a no charisma joke just like the rest of team Sleepy Joe.
