Like I love watching SpaceX succeed and do the things it has done. I've always been impressed with Tesla and how they played a major role in leading vehicle electrification. Musk is just so insufferable though when you hear him speak or put out these stupid tweets.

Joe Biden is far from perfect, but I think he has mostly had an okay Presidency. The fact that Trump looks like he is going to walk away with it over a single debate is pathetic.

The right wing in America is extremely fucked up, to the point that I believe they could destabilize the entire global economy if not lead to a global war. The only consolation I have, is that most of their policy proposal seem to be preoccupied with hurting other American's as opposed to hurting other nations. Though I don't want to underestimate the depth of stupidity, callousness and reckless behavior a bunch of Christo-Fascists may have.

Seriously, I think this forum should spend more time looking at the extreme right wing in the United States. These people are unhinged and totally delusional. Combined that with US interventionism and military capability and you have the real possibility of major disaster. Like I said above, the good thing is that they seem to be preoccupied with fucking over their own people (or rather those with a non-white skin colour) as opposed to grand foreign policy or military endeavors.

With that said, I still think these people need to be watched under a microscope. Think about the impact these people could have on US policy towards Taiwan. They may take totally extreme positions with no chance of compromise.
A far right US president will be better for china. Much less able to build global consensus. Also fuck Biden, genociding POS.

You know who else called themselves Scythian? The Scots in the Pictish Chronicles, the Anglo-Saxons in the Anglo-Saxon Chronicles, and the English/Irish in the Ecclesiastical History of the English People, all of whom are Germanic (Scots being half Gael)!

Scythia in Persian is called Saka, and in Russian it was called Sakasen. German and Dutch call it Sachsen. English calls it Saxon.

Speaking of the Hebrew Bible, you have the order reversed. The Hebrew Bible doesn't denote Ashkenaz as Scythian, rather it is the descendants of Ashkenaz that are associated with Scythia. What the Hebrew Bible does say explicitly is that Ashkenaz is the son of Gomer [1 Chronicles 1:6]. And who is Gomer? According to the Talmud [Tractate Yoma 10a], Gomer is identified as... wait for it... GERMANYA!
you are clinching straws now. It is like saying Hindu Originates in London because most expensive home in London bought recently by them or German Turks. Historically the only large population center of Jews always have been Black Sea region. everything from Mountain Jews to Budapest Jews.

The fireworks landed in the crowd, and those sounds aren't gunfire. Even the Twitter post comment mentioned that the fireworks landed in the crowd. To quote a deteriorating senile man, "come on man".
I think we all know what's going on, it was meant to be a joke. Though you gotta admit, that video is probably the most American thing this 4th of July, even the "Help" cries were on point.

Iran is a deeply infiltrated society and its top elites are very corrupt with overseas properties, often in the West. Very similar dynamic to Pakistan. For elites in these third world countries, their own personal wealth is more important than their national interest. Which is why Iran keeps bringing about these "reformers" who keep getting nothing in return, because they are obsessed with good relations with the West. It's pathetic but at some point you have to stop feeling pity for those who never learn anything.

All China has to do, imo, is to continue doing what it has been doing, and not take the bait of war thrown by the Americans. Americans love war. They are good at destroying, but not very good at developing without it. Restrict their ability to wage war globally and they will crumble. Their entire economy is based on the war machine and the resultant chaos.

What I'm not sure of is whether the non-interference policy of China is good or bad. Ideally, it is better not to interfere in foreign politics. But it just so happens that China's enemies interfere everywhere and turn those countries into mini obstacles for China. Take Pakistan for example - despite having China as it's closest ally, it is infested with American and European interference in every sector and faction. Have you noticed: whenever a Pakistani leader is in trouble, they run to and seek assistance from US/UK, but not China?
Non-interference is just a marketing term, in reality China does plenty of political plays, which is why US has seen a lot of setbacks geopolitcally in the last years.

To understand what China means by non-interference, you need to understand how China views itself, as a sort of steward for an international law based world order. So when China interferes against US attempts to change status quo and/or break international law, the Chinese government does not consider it interference to stop/counter them, but protection of the status quo.

Trump is proposing 60% tariffs on all goods/services from China, so I don't see how he is "better" for China. Zombie Joe isn't good for China either, but atleast he isn't a batshit crazy and blow up global economy like Trump.

One good thing coming from the new Iranian elections is that the Saudis and the rest of GCC may be much more comfortable developing relations with a more moderate/reformist president.
Also, it doesn't matter whether the new president wants better relations with the West - it is impossible as long as hostility towards Israel persists in Iran, and the anti-Israeli sentiment is simply too embedded across Iranian politics, society, and military to change especially now with the Gaza situation.
