This is the same war where the Americans gave orders to “advance to the rear” in some weird newspeak when they had to retreat from the Chinese onslaught.
Thinking Sweden is the bees knees is very bourgeoisi. The only Americans who believe it tend to be northeastern WASP females and gender Studies majors and thirsty men who think they’re going to find Malin Ackerman. Things is, they do find Malin Ackerman types who will have sex with everyone but them.
The Nordics as a whole in this period of history are simply Anglo colonies. Finnish as a language could well go extinct given the cultural genocide of English in the country, but despite it all, the entire Nordic nations are characterised by a smugness that I find…amusing, given how much of a backwater they actually are.
Compare this to say, Poles and Czechs who live in the equivalent of European Thailand (bucks nights often go to Prague for the amount of pornography filmed there) who slavishly accept their inferior status and role to the anglos. The nordics know the anglos revere them as a ’master race’, the Slavs hope to become more Anglo.
And yes, I purposely applied an orientalist lens to the Europeans, how a sexpat would speak of Chinese and Japanese, I speak of Europeans and anglo Americans.
reminder that US GDP is suspect considering they Count broken windows and equivalents towards GDP.
Sweden and Scandinavia not as bad some others. I fully expect flow of people to Nordic countries to increase with more openings. airline business will be booming connecting continents.
It says social media and influencers are providing the information. some one with student expenses should not expect living standards of a working person. It is a second Master degree.
I hate to say it but the Chinese people-often women - who praise Sweden and Scandinavia, or the West in general do so because they wish to escape their filial responsibilities.
It is not because they are drawn to the 'freedoms' of scandinavia because scandinavia is anything but free, societywise they are horrendously uniform where Tall Poppy syndrome abounds. THere's a reasson why is a thing in the scandics. Chinese women who worship the West, and scandinavia especially are merely aping their new york friends/american/anglo colleagues in their desires for nordic styles, fashion and lifestyles.
Things that these women would not be able to get away with were they to be married to a Chinese or even an Asian man, they can get away with poor behaviour if they were married to a western man because there's no Chinese mother in law nor Chinese husband to judge her.
Yoon's approval ratings are low partially because South Koreans believe he is
The westerners must think that because Korean people like karaoke and kpop it must be okay for Biden to make Yoon sing. After all, according to Korean business culture, higher-ups make underlings sing and dance for them at group events to liven the atmosphere. By singing, Yoon properly plays his role of the court jester. His domestic audience will applaud him for entertaining the white man so well.
Scandinavian society works for people who prefer standardisation and dependability it's essentially a virtuous cycle between society and it's people, the welfare nanny state will take care of your survival instincts in return for your compliance and contribution to the system if you are an introvert career focused person with simple hobbies then it's for you, Hikikomoris would appreciate and may even thrive in a nordic society on the other hand Chinese social cycle works by creation of social networks and both parties deriving something beneficial usually money from it, Italy is the closest Western society in that respect but unfortunately current climate isn't exactly ideal especially since post Covid

The funny thing is even if Ukraine did get A10s, they will be using them exactly like how they currently use Su25s - as airborne MLRS, so it’s big, heavy, overhyped gun is just going to be needless dead weigh.
To try to use the gun will see those A10s shot out of the air in record breaking time.

The West thinks wishful thinking is fact. Those that try to paint a bad picture of China's economy are only trying to prevent people from putting their money in China because if it's in China, it isn't in their country. Normally it takes a couple years for the US to recover from a recession. The 2008 Western Financial Crisis was different. People were looking for safe havens for their money and China wasn't affected as much by 2008 as the West was. Usually money would just move around in another sector within the economy. People had options other than the West. That's why recovery took longer.
The US/West can't "re-shore" without it costing them more money. That means higher inflation. If they were in China for supplies, it's because it was the least expensive. Any change to that means higher costs. The lie that Westerners want to believe is outsourcing was helping poor countries by giving them jobs. No, they were there to bypass their own domestic laws they couldn't do at home and exploit people in other countries. So all this is a charade playing a game of chicken because as usual their only tactic is scaring China into surrender like they did with weak Japan, a democracy that they treated as worse than the Soviet Union. There goes their argument that this is about democracies versus autocracies. What does China and Japan have in common? They both ain't white.
