Some have gone extreme like comedian Jocelyn Chia poo pooing Malaysia in her "joke".While this may be true, it's also true that the younger generation have a superiority complex over ASEAN nations.
I don't advocate for this kind of superiority complex over our ASEAN neighbours by the way, even if we did start at a worse position than everyone else but are now x8 the GDP per capita of Malaysia (ngl, big lol).Some have gone extreme like comedian Jocelyn Chia poo pooing Malaysia in her "joke".
Talking about America's stagnation, Bill Maher is getting very inpatient: China gets things done, while we are a (constipated) colon of a nation! We are not losing to China. We already lost.
Such abuse of the judicial system by the political faction is an ominous sign that the US is on the way toward a banana republic.
IPEF, and to some extent CPTPP, are just empty talk and wishful thinking.
Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in February 2022 was a moment of clarity for the United States and its allies. An urgent mission was before them: to assist Ukraine as it countered Russian aggression and to punish Moscow for its transgressions. While the Western response was clear from the start, the objective—the endgame of this war—has been nebulous.
Taking steps to get diplomacy off the ground need not affect efforts to assist Ukraine militarily or to impose costs on Russia. Historically, fighting and talking at the same time has been a common practice in wars. During the Korean War, some of the most intense fighting took place during the two years of armistice talks, when 45 percent of U.S. casualties were incurred. Beginning to plan for the inevitable diplomacy can and should occur in parallel with the other existing elements of U.S. policy—as well as with the ongoing war.
These efforts might well fail to lead to an agreement. The odds of success are slim—and even if negotiations did produce a deal, no one would leave fully satisfied. The Korean armistice was certainly not seen as a triumph of at the time it was signed: after all, the American public had grown accustomed to absolute victories, not bloody wars without clear resolution. But in the nearly 70 years since, there has not been another outbreak of war on the peninsula. Meanwhile, South Korea emerged from the devastation of the 1950s to become an economic powerhouse and eventually a thriving democracy. A postwar Ukraine that is similarly prosperous and democratic with a strong Western commitment to its security would represent a genuine strategic victory.
WASHINGTON — The Pentagon announced Friday that it will provide an additional $2.1 billion in long-term weapons aid for Ukraine. The new assistance package will include funding for more Patriot missile battery munitions, Hawk air defense systems and missiles, and small Puma drones that can be launched by hand.

Some times I serious think the USA shouldnt even be allowed to have children because not only will a vast portion of these children end up on the street in tent cities for the elites to pretend to care (I mean pretend to honestly) but I am now convinced that they secret enjoy watching children die because of how often they carelessly leave these weapons around and honestly how often they happen. I even now believe that these elites will go as far as use even babies for their pedo acts and children sacrifices based on how often they seem to enjoy going to other countries to blow up places with babies in them and then excuse themselves as not knowing. I mean should something like this happen to them in return, they better not complain… THEY DO NOT CHERISH WHAT THEY HAVE AND ALSO HOW PRICELESS THEIR OWN CHILDRENS LIFE SHOULD BE…. ANY FU@KING IDIOT THAT PLACES A GUN IN REACH FOR A CHILD TO KILL ANYONE DESERVES TO SUFFER HELL AND BEYOND FOR THIS MONUMENTAL STUPIDITY, really, they are too stupid it’s almost bullshit they even got to this point of being a super power unless they simply got really lucky to which they are about to run out of it very soon.Guns loving Americans.
