I'm surprised they haven't targetted AliExpress and AliBaba. If the latter speeds up it's delivery time just a bit more, it can wipe out Amazon I'm sure, especially considering that ~70% of Amazon products are FBA (middlemen, third-party sellers) sourced directly from AliBaba, jacking up the price tenfolds. For example, several years ago, I was looking for work-related equipment that was going for ~$800/unit on Amazon + free two-day delivery. Then I found the same product on AliBaba (without the brand logo) for $45/unit + $15 for three-week delivery.

Get rid of the middleman = make bank and wipe out Amazon.


Speaking of loyalty, people are forget or are unaware that there are 2 million Palestinian Arabs who are citizens of Israel and hostile against the country. These are residents of Israel, not Gaza or West Bank. So, spying inside Israel and assassinations aren't that difficult.
You forgot Temu....

The only reason why India chose the Rafale was because the French were desperate and willing to give up more than any of the competition would to get Indians to buy.
The French are also well known for their aggressive use of kickbacks to win foreign contracts, e.g.

Israel does have the spy capability to perform assasination inside Israel itself.
How loyal Israelis are? They are easily sawyed by enticement of life in occupied Palistinian land,
for that they have been able to assasinate impartant person inside Israel, namely their own prime minister Yitzhak Rabin.

If it is not because of you I would not have brought in the assasination of Yitzhak Rabin into this because I very much respect him as a true statesman and a good Israeli.

BTW, you are a troll by propping up the idea of "Israel killed Raisi" without any shred of evidence, a typical tactic to shoot both sides to stir up a conflict.
Iranian soldiers and politicians vs. Israeli soldiers and politicians. Which ones are more likely to be corrupt and easily bribed.

AliExpress have actually sped up their delivery by a lot this year I've noticed (to Australia). It use to take 4 weeks average for things to arrive but nowadays it takes only 1-2 weeks. Just this past weekend I got a delivery from Aliexpress for DJI accessories, on a Saturday no less where most other parcel companies don't work.

In Australia they use this company now:

Works in Australia, New Zealand and Canada. Seems like bad review online but I've had nothing but good experience with them. On China side of AliExpress they've had some process uplift and now there's logic on the backend where it automatically aggregates several small orders into a single package for delivery even if they are from different sellers.

Mumbai Billboard collapsed which unfortunately killed 14 Indians and injuring further 70 people. This incident happened almost a week ago but wasn't picked up by the usual lemmings in the west. Imagine if this mishap happened in Shanghai or other Chinese major cities. The losers in India and their masters in the west would have taken the maniacal opportunity to make fun of Chinese tofu quality engineering capabilities.




I always find it hilarious when Indians try to say Mumbai is on the same level as Shanghai and then you look at the ground and it's all like this .

There is no genocide in Gaza – Biden​

US President Joe Biden has rejected any notion that Israel’s ongoing military operation in Gaza could be described as genocide, and reiterated Washington’s support for West Jerusalem’s push to eliminate Hamas as he hosted a Jewish American Heritage month event at the White House.

On Monday, ICC chief prosecutor Karim Khan accused Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Yoav Gallant – as well as Hamas leaders Yahya Sinwar, Mohammed Diab Ibrahim al-Masri, and Ismail Haniyeh – of “war crimes and crimes against humanity.” Speaking at the White House later in the day, President Biden condemned the ICC move as well as separate allegations by the UN's International Court of Justice that Israel’s actions in Gaza could be genocidal.

“Let me be clear, contrary to allegations against Israel made by the International Court of Justice, what’s happening is not genocide. We reject that,” Biden said.

On October 7, Hamas fighters carried out an incursion into Israel, which resulted in about 1,200 people being killed and 250 taken hostage. The Israeli government responded by launching a large-scale military operation in Gaza, which according to the Palestinian enclave’s health ministry, killed over 35,000 people and left almost 80,000 others wounded. Israel has vowed to continue the offensive until Hamas is completely eliminated.

“We stand with Israel to take out Sinwar and the rest of the butchers of Hamas,” Biden said on Monday. “We want Hamas defeated. We’ve worked with Israel to make that happen.”

Back in January, an interim ruling by the ICJ, the UN’s top court in The Hague, ordered Israel to take steps to prevent genocide and improve humanitarian conditions for Gaza’s population. The lawsuit, filed by South Africa late last year, accuses West Jerusalem of committing systematic war crimes in the Palestinian region. Ireland announced in March that it would support Pretoria’s case, calling Israel’s actions in Gaza a “blatant violation of international humanitarian law on a mass scale.” Last week, Egypt also called on Israel to “comply with its obligations as the occupying power.”
“Let me be clear, contrary to allegations against Israel made by the International Court of Justice, what’s happening is not genocide. We reject that,” Biden said.
“We want Hamas defeated. We’ve worked with Israel to make that happen.”

Finally, the mask off moment. No more hiding behind “we don’t know what a genocide.”

Honestly what can we expect for a heartless geriatric that has is mind still firmly positioned in the Cold War mindset. But I wonder how long these trash can continue this endless yapping. Every time the USA does something stupid, something twice as bad usually happens in response, often without any warning behind those events. I wonder what is going to happen this time…. They really must want a civil war to happen right now because they seem to be determined to clamp down on the populace like in Ukraine with regards to forcing conscription on what is left of the nation
