I appreciate your optimism, but India is absolutely an enemy of China. Have you already forgotten that India is a member of the QUAD?

I get what he is saying though. Like you obviously know India is an enemy but instead of being direct, you just say hes a "unfriendly" guy and therefore assume most of the time he's not going to act nice. You still do business with him but since you know he's not a nice guy, you have all those protection measures against him. All without saying it openly.

That really relies a lot on EQ as well as wit though. I personally could never bring myself to deal with a guy like that and not want to tell him to F himself. But apparently Chinese can. They are very direct but at the same time hard to read if you don't think hard.

Funny enough neither can India. Despite claiming they are so good at outwitting or playing mindgames, when their leaders met with Chinese ones, the Chinese one said let's talk business and leave the border issue for later. The Indian ones were furious saying how can you still talk about doing business normally after what just happened! Guess Indian heads don't have as much cool as you think huh?

This is contrast to guys like Vietnam who have tons of beef with China. Yet they can still talk business so easily with them the next day. Now that's probably something to fear huh?

If there's one thing, it's that Richard Hanania is deeply unsettled by inherent traits in East Asian societies (which he wishes western society possessed), which is why he has an unusual focus on calling out results of 'surveys and studies' that mention statistics (accuracy indeterminate) on Asian societies that run counter to common understanding.

He deeply wishes western society had the highest average IQ, and a conservative, family oriented outlook rather than today's uncontrolled descent into degeneracy.

Richard Hanania is your typical “race realist” opportunist who collects political clout through appealing to disgruntled whites mad about “woke culture”; it’s just that he targets Asians rather than blacks so you hear about it here. Plenty of black / Latino / Muslim targeting types doing the same thing on social media since Elon Musk decided to allow them.

it’s always the pissant western nations who have the most to lose with the loss of white supremacy. Rather than celebrating an achievement of humanity, they can only pretend to live in their fantasy world. Pathetic.

I believe there’s a plausible reason for this.
Have you ever run a small business? Say a cafe or pharmacy or restaurant? You know you’d have to deal with your competitors who have the same business model as you but every now and then you guys will cooperate and help each other out for the sake of doing business eg they run out of sugar so ask if they can borrow some from you and maybe you do it cuz you might be out of sugar and need to borrow from them as well. You saw this dynamic during the cola wars when a Pepsi employee tried to sell Pepsis secret formula to Coca Cola and the coke executives went straight to the authorities and returned the IP to Pepsi.

Now, look at the Indian elite, none of them have ever had to run a small business, they are the scions of rich Indian billionaires, a Gandhi or an Adani or a Mukherjee, who think any sort of work is below them. Running a shop would be considered beneath a Brahmin caste, since it’s an occupation of a lower caste, and so they develop low EQ and high spite and entitlement.



Thalmor justiciars soon to ensure all westerners worship all Jews, not just one.


HK roaches should be glad they got their Revolution of their time in americas new cultural revolution. americans sneer at the depiction of struggle sessions in 3 body problem but ignore the very cultural revolution “do you confess“ inquisition in their own campuses.

The West is threatening China if it doesn't stop helping Russia in Ukraine... The West says China will become number one in the world if Ukraine loses... No wonder the West has trouble convincing anyone of their bull.

Just shows how arrogant the West is where they expect people to do things that harm and work against their own interests even when they say themselves it works to their benefit.

NATO summit in The Hague 2025 without the US would be funny to watch.

Hungary is a NATO member, but an ally of Russia. China is India's largest trading partner and both are members of BRICS. Both are dedollarizing and reconfiguring their economies to ditch the US for good. These things are not as simple as you are making them out to be.

The fact that you need to remind people of the Quad's existence shows how much (or how little) it matters.

Equally useless is AUKUS, but the 500b for non-existent submarines makes it hilarious and hard to forget.

Trump Reportedly Raises $200+ Million Since Verdict​

Former President Donald Trump has reportedly raised more than $200 million since a Manhattan jury returned a guilty verdict against him in court last week.

The revelation was made by one of the president’s sons, Eric Trump, whose wife is Republican National Committee co-chair Lara Trump.

Eric Trump was asked by Fox News host Maria Bartiromo on “Sunday Morning Futures” about how much money the former president has raised since last Thursday’s verdict.

“This might be a little inside information, but as I was leaving my house about 37 seconds ago, I asked my wife, what are we up to now?” he said. “And [Lara] said, just in terms of small dollar, we’re well over $70 million. This is $21 donations, $43 donations, right, small dollar donations.”

“If you add the large dollar donations to it, you’re over $200 million,” he continued.

Eric Trump noted that “30 percent of those people have never been seen before by a political party” as they were first time political donors.

“I mean, these are Americans who are pissed off,” he continued. “They’re coming out of the woodwork and they want to support a guy that they just believe he’s getting bamboozled by a system.”

US seizes Scott Ritter’s passport​

The US State Department has seized the passport of former Marine and UN weapons inspector Scott Ritter, he told RT on Monday.

Ritter was on his way to Russia for the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum (SPIEF) when he was pulled off the plane and had his documents confiscated.

“I was boarding the flight. Three [police] officers pulled me aside. They took my passport. When asked why, they said ‘orders of the State Department’. They had no further information for me,” Ritter told RT. “They pulled my bags off the plane, then escorted me out of the airport. They kept my passport.”

Ritter is a former US Marine Corps intelligence officer, who later served as the US and UN weapons inspector in Iraq. He is also a RT contributor, writing about international security, military affairs, Russia, and the Middle East, as well as arms control and nonproliferation.

He most recently visited Russia in January, spending time in Chechnya, Moscow and St. Petersburg, among other places.

The most recent post on Ritter’s Telegram channel put the Clooney Foundation for Justice on notice for its alleged crusade against “Russian propagandists.”

“Here I am. In your face. If telling the truth about Russia makes me a propagandist in your book, then I accept the title,” he wrote. “Bring it on. I’ll school you on the First Amendment.”

“You have zero concept of what free speech is. Try and arrest me and you’ll find out. In spades. It’s war,” he added.

Rather confusing as to why the state department cares about what he does anyway. Assuming this incident did happened.
