The American hypocrisy, in short:
Georgia (country) decided to adopt a law on foreign agents. Such a law has been in force in the USA since 1938.
"The United States is opposed to the foreign agents law in Georgia, even if it is translated word for word from U.S. law" - U.S. Ambassador Kelly Degnan.
Protesters who are Soros paid useful idiots are now the streets of Tbilisi throwing Molotov cocktails at the cops. The police fight back.
"Those responsible for cracking down on protests in Georgia could be subject to US sanctions. We have a range of tools to hold anyone in any country accountable for interfering with what is a universal human right."
/- State Department spokesman Ned Price
"The US does not exclude the possibility of imposing sanctions against representatives of the Georgian authorities due to the situation around the law on foreign agents"
-- State Department
We have already seen such protests with cocktails and Vicky Nuland handing out cookies in Ukraine.
The President of Georgia, who is currently in the US, has promised to veto the law against foreign agents. This law has passed with overwhelming majority, DEMOCRATICALLY, 76 votes for, 13 against. But this is not democratic enough for the US and its puppet.
President of Georgia, Salome Zourabichvili, born in FRANCE and attended Columbia University, she was the French ambassador to Georgia until 2004 when she took the Georgian nationality and immediately became the Georgian Foreign Minister. No wonder she's against the anti foreign agent law, she IS a foreign agent.

EU's Borrell condemns Georgia foreign influence law
European Union foreign policy chief Josep Borrell said on Tuesday a Georgian draft law on “transparency of foreign influence” was a "very bad development" for the country and could seriously affect its ties with the EU.
"This is a very bad development for Georgia and its people," Borrell said in a written statement.
EU diplomat chief Borrell urged Georgia to uphold its commitment to democracy, the rule of law and human rights. According to him, the draft law on foreign agents is incompatible with the values of the EU and contradicts Georgia's goal of joining the union.
Protesters in the small ex-Soviet state threw petrol bombs and stones at police on Tuesday night after parliament gave its initial backing to a draft law on "foreign agents" which critics say represents an authoritarian shift.
Do you remember those statements of the Georgia’s Prime Minister Irakli Garibashvili last year when he said that Zelensky was forcing Georgia to open a "second front" against Russia:
Tbilisi not planning to open 'second front': Georgian PM responds to Kiev
Georgia’s Prime Minister Irakli Garibashvili alleged that Ukraine is trying to open a “second front” by drawing his nation into its war with Russia. “We have heard direct statements from Ukrainian officials that their goal is to open the second front,” said Garibashvili, who added that “attempts are still being made to transfer the Ukrainian war to our country.”
Georgia isn’t going to open a "second front" sought by Ukraine, Georgian Prime Minister Irakli Garibashvili.
"Ukraine is going through misery, tragedy, and war. We must maintain peace, stability and assist development," he said. "There will be no second front in Georgia. We won’t allow that and will continue to protect our citizens and the state."
On February 25, the Georgian Prime Minister stated that his country didn’t plan to impose sanctions on Russia over the situation in Ukraine. On March 1, Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky recalled Kiev's ambassador from Tbilisi for consultations. Garibashvili's statement was also criticized by the Georgian opposition. The government accused the opposition of wanting to start a war with Russia and open a "second front."
Garibashvili’s allegations were the latest in a string of similar claims from Georgian leaders. Тhe chairman of the country’s ruling party claimed a “global war party” has the goal of “artificially creating problems for Georgia”, with the aim of opening a second front. He argued that while Georgia has the military means to “make the situation worse for Russia”, doing so would “come at the cost of destroying Georgia”.

That is an indirect evidence of US bombed Nord Stream, killing "ally" to prevent it from approaching/falling to the other side.
hehe, that is called "Law of conservation of energy“, basically nothing is free. 5G is faster than 4G or serves more users only because it uses broader bandwidth that means more energy consumption. Fundamentally 5G is 4G++ repackaged and re-sliced or brute-force upgrade of 4G.I heard Alexander mercouris mentioned Europe has most likely shelved their 5g expansion plans for now give energy has become like 4 or 5 times as expensive. I wasn't sure about this until Google returned this source from Huawei.
5g per base station consumes almost 70% more energy compared to 4g. That's quiet a investment to upgrade your digital infrastructure for what will most likely be a profitless trajectory.
It's probably editing but the contrast is interesting nonetheless and the Russians ( young ones) are simply reflecting the current friendly and neighborly relationship with China amidst the current struggle against western assault and sanctions brought about by Russian attack and invasion a.k.a. Special Operations in Ukraine.
I think this is a very foolish way to look at things. Autarky is generally, not a good thing. You simply make things more expensive for yourself.
Well, you should only be looking a yield. The actual "production" will respond naturally to market forces. If people start preferring wheat products over rice products, rice production will naturally decrease or stay static. So yeah, a 5% increase in yield is significant. What's more, other countries do in fact have greater yields, so we know that production efficiency can be increased even further.
How long do you think it'll take China to get to 3 billion people? It'll take a lot more than 20 years, I promise you that.
Lol, if the US Navy is blockading your ports to starve you, food security is probably not the biggest concern.
If the Chinese population reverses its decline and starts increasing again at a rate of say... 1%, it'll take in excess of 60 years for its population to grow from 1.4 billion to 2.8 billion. So yes, these kinds of engineering and technological marvels are exactly what the party should undertake in order to provide for its future. This is exactly my point, these problems aren't insurmountable. In fact, such solutions should be welcomed, this is whole purpose of technology and human progress.
On the contrary, I believe that if China's population was greater, your GDP would be higher, your economic growth would be even more meteoric, and living standards would be roughly the same.
There was no such study done. But I base my assessment on several factors.
1. China is largely self-sufficient in food right now. I believe the latest projection for 2023 is 650 million tons of grain produced. Which is well in excess of the international minimum of 400 kg.
2. China still hasn't fully mechanized its agriculture.
3. China is still behind in agriculture productivity. Though admittedly, the numbers I've seen are at least a decade old.
Regardless, I still expect China to have significant room to grow.
I think your outlook is far too pessimistic on Chinese agricultural potential. I believe China is more than capable of being self-sufficient in food even with much larger population than it currently is. But aside from self-sufficiency, there are also a lot of gains to be gained from importing food.
And, I hardly expect US Navy to be capable of blockade Chinese ports anyway
If anything, we (United States) might be getting kicked out of WESTPAC within the next 10 years.Actually it is about restoring confidence in German government as conspiracies bad for German society but there maybe others who does not want give any break to Germany and there other reasons not even related to Ukraine.
last week it was the Italian PM. This week is Polish. Netanyahu cannot wait to reach Italy. This all about moving the system to the right.
