Well, it does look like gas prices are dropping in Canada, at least in Alberta. Europe is still screwed though.

Here's a Nature article breaking down the casualty risks from falling rocket bodies by country. 41% of the total casualty risk is from US rockets while China is tied with Europe at 17% each. If some unlucky person on Earth is killed or injured by falling rocket debris, it is far more likely for that rocket to be American than Chinese.
a, Number of rocket bodies with perigee of <600 km and associated global casualty expectation for spacefaring states with large contributions (Europe treated as a single unit). b, Pie chart of the proportion of the total global casualty expectation contributed by each state. c, Standard casualty expectation as a function of orbital inclination for reentry of a single object and the 2020 global population. d, Casualty expectation of rocket bodies currently in orbit by latitude and 2020 population density. Casualty expectation is the number of casualties per square metre of casualty area as described in ref. . Casualty area, which is the total area over which debris could cause a casualty for a given reentry, is not modelled. In all panels, only rocket bodies with perigees at or below 600 km are included, on the basis of the satellite catalogue as of 5 May 2022. This approximates the population of long-lived abandoned rocket bodies that might reasonably be expected to deorbit.

Dude, you know that MSM and Reddit is going to spin that as a win, just like how last year US snuck a few ex-government officials into Taiwan. How the rest of the world sees it is up for debate though.
You're on the right track but could go further. I offer the yanks a simple solution to back down without losing face:
Get Tsai to announce she caught covid and can't receive anyone
There problem solved.
China would be a fool to make that distinction. No need to play that game.
its a practical distinction though, as it is also more difficult to detect which particular commercial flight carries Pelosi than a military flight.

By definition, recession is two consecutive quarters of negative growth. At this point, a recession in the U.S. seems unavoidable. What can the Biden regime do? Well, they will redefine the meaning of recession, just like how the Bush regime redefined the meaning of "torture" when it suited them.
Here is IMF's projections for growths in 2022 and 2023. I think they overestimated America's growth rate in 2022.
I hope this is really the case.
The new face of imperialism: in reality, China is the country that contributes by far the most to renewable energy in recent years in the world.
