Miscellaneous News

I am honestly surprised how this channel that I once frequent is pushing this nuclear angle without much context at times to the why although I suspect it’s because he is biased American so I shouldn’t be surprised. And I am honestly interested as to how on earth these prepers or the even elite expect to survive in the event that Russia or China nuclear bombs (hypothetically speaking because they wouldn’t be the first to fire) their electrical and energy grid to nothing if such a scenario really comes. I mean the USA no longer manufactures much of the tools and parts to fix such a situation so really are they blind to such a scenario or are they simply coping to the extreme. This is now a massive trend in the USA to basically become prepers that are capable of living off the grid independently but for some reason, I don’t believe that it going to be that simple, especially when they are many people who will do anything to live and are armed to the teeth and should a so called invasion happen like all those doomsday callers says it would, who’s to say that a missile will permanently end that thorn in the side. Somehow these prepers should be focusing on advising the government on how to be sensible with policies that prevent such a doomsday scenario from happening rather then giving up and getting out of dodge and hoping that they won’t face a mob of starving people.

There is an increasing trend, particularly among americans and brits, that nuclear war isn't that bad because it won't really kill that many people and nuclear winter will actually be a mild thing so they think they can safely push for it because it won't really affect them that much and the world is overpopulated anyway.

I have no idea who started to peddle this idea that nuclear winter won't be bad for the world or that it won't bring about the collapse of modern civilization, though

It's because their lives are becoming worse and worse so, in a fit of narcissistic rage, they want to end it all.

Which is why nowadays I see China and Russia taking this issue seriously and are calling out the USA for their brazen attempt in trying to start one. I get the feeling they things are basically like…. USA and UK are basically starting shit and then throwing a fit when it doesn’t work like they want it to. They have done this for decades, in fact when was the last time the UK is sent as anything less then a joke due to how useless they are as a fighting force and thus became more of a nation of terrorist instead. So really given that the consequences haven’t lead to the uk/USA being bombed, they tend to brush these things off but one day, when these two nations are hit and hit hard but the reality of hypersonic nukes, will they be so biligerent as they are now because let’s face it, the uk/USA needs the world more then the world needs them and I dare say, the world will be better off without these parasites, particularly their elites who I believe are truly better of in the ground

Good, I think it is completely waste of resources. And China should do the same against the UK by shutting down all UK's affiliated NGOs and institutions.

Concur. If China wants to promote Chinese culture, it's better to do so via entertainment media. Frankly, a game like Genshin Impact has done more to promote Chinese culture in the last 2 years than these Confucius Institutes ever will lol:




Exporting quality movies, TV dramas and videogames is the best strategy imo.

If the Germans are too good for Chinese investment, I’m sure the ports of Greece and the shipping complexes of Hungary would be more than happy to become THE hub of Europe.
There’s no reason for supplicants to make demands on those with capital…for what? Because they’re caucasoid?

Last month, scores of German firms dating as far back as before the second reich, upended and died at the behest of Anglo American interests in The war against Russia. Situation is unacceptable.

Look at the elites of the anglosphere and the west. Boomers in their 70s to 80s like Pelosi and trump who have only ever known western primacy, and if dementia hasn’t addled their brains, would start to reach for the forbidden weapons of atomic reasoning in their narcissism that they’re not long for the world anyhow.

And then you have racists like bannon and pompeo who would rather the world burn in radioactive fire than live in a world devoid of white supremacy.

German politicians are running to Taiwan again

Maybe Xi should scale back the time he meets with Scholz to 24 minutes, or just not meet with him at all.

China should ignore what parlimentarians are doing. Those people are irrelevant as individuals and are very easy to buy (Taiwanese lobbying is known by everyone). Moreover they are looking to climb the political ladder which means they will do anything to get spotlight. These are all more true for parliamentarians from the opposition, expecially. China shouldn't give them spotlight. Verbal complaints are enough. Visits by gov officials is a different matter though.

Researchers observe hybrid virus for first time​

A new study conducted by the MRC-University of Glasgow Center for Virus Research has for the first time discovered that viruses can fuse together inside human cells to create a new type of pathogen which can evade the human immune system.

The researchers, who published the

on Monday, co-infected human lung cells with influenza A virus (IAV) and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) and found that instead of competing, they fused into a new palm-tree-shaped hybrid virus.

This new hybrid was then able to infect neighboring cells, despite the presence of antibodies against influenza that are meant to block infection. Researchers say that the antibodies still stuck to the influenza proteins on the hybrid virus’ surface, but the virus simply used RSV proteins to infect lung cells instead, akin to a ‘Trojan horse’.

Researchers are now trying to find out if this newly discovered hybrid virus plays a role in triggering a hard-to-treat and potentially fatal lung disease known as viral pneumonia, which is usually believed to be caused by influenza, RSV, and coronaviruses.

Professor Pablo Murcia, who supervised the research, says that what the team observed has never been described before. “We are talking about viruses from two completely different families combining together with the genomes of the external proteins of both viruses. It is a new type of virus pathogen,” he was quoted as saying by The Guardian.

Influenza and RSV making a new family.

Lol. On an unrelated story, there was a story not that long ago about a San Diego school being 40% absent over RSV.
