This "expert" obviously has no idea that the Soviet Union would have contributed to the liberation of China otherwise.

This one's adorable. Whenever my people (Polish) bring up the things we did in the past and expect some quid pro quo for it, we're always told they're a "separate issue", that expecting reciprocity for good behavior is naive, and everything that matters is the harsh reality. That's why we don't get restitution from Germany, that's why the bodies of Volhynia genocide don't get exhumed, that's why to this day the hundreds of thousands of soldiers who fought in the West remain largely unrecognized. Who cares that we saved jews once? There was that one guy who didn't, so argument is invalid. We constantly get told that good deeds are not a currency in politics.

Now the 'murcans are trying to use the same coin? You just know they're going down if that's all they've got...

The British have always been pathetically obsessed with WWII, but I didn’t realise they loved it so much they want another one. But this time they want to be on the wrong side. I suppose that’s one way to cure this unhealthy fetish.

Much like Japan they are an island. So they can hit but when stuff gets bad they can just run away to their island. That's what the Brits did in Napoleon and both world wars. Japan tried to do the same but sadly they did it at a time nukes were available and messed with the guys who had it.

I guess when supersonic missiles prove they can't hide away on their island this time then maybe they'll learn.

If Nazi Germany won WWII, would it turn out to be a Nazi controlled and dominated world? No, it would be like Germany in the US's place today facing all the same problems dealing with reality and the world. The Japanese are no different. They weren't supermen so they weren't forever. And you don't think they eventually would have a conflict with Japan...? No Nazi or Imperial Japanese utopia was ever going to happen. Are they immune to nukes more than others? Why didn't the countries of the West continue trying to conquer the world after WWII. Because reality hit them. Don't confuse their inability to conquer the world as the West having ethics and restraint. That's like the British trying to spin that they stopped slavery on their own without being forced to or plunging into a war. Far East Asians didn't enslave Africans. And yet the British think they're morally in a better position when they did have slaves.

What Nazi Germany was to Europe, the British were to the rest of the world. By country the British are probably the worst criminals against humanity that history will ever know. Do we see them being portrayed as they truly deserve? No, because Great Britain and the US are pretty much the architects of the Western world. Some Asians get upset when I say if Nazi Germany won WWII, there would be Asians that would worship Nazi Germany as much as they do Americans today. How? Germany would face the same geopolitical hurdles the US faces in the world today. That means Nazi Germany at some point would have to recreate their image to the world just like the US and Great Britain have done for themselves because they could go only so far without help. A lot of Asians are sycophants and they would suck up to whoever's in power just like they do for the US and the West now. You actually think if Nazi Germany won WWII, they would look at themselves as monsters? Westerners won't agree because they want to make the world believe that the good know they're good and the bad know they're bad. If they did, that's an acknowledgement that it's a matter perspective and they can be seen as the bad guys to someone else. Nazi Germany would be making themselves out to be the good guys and because they would be the ones in power hence why Asians would suck up to them regardless. These Asians already ignore the crimes of Great Britain and the US. Why wouldn't they do the same for a Nazi Germany that won WWII?

There stupidity is such that in order for them to really learn, you would need to drop kick them, stomp on their nuts multiple times to actually make the pain stick, then turn on the Chinese anthem and end it by pouring mayo tofu down their throats while they cry their eyes out and then repeat the words ‘emotional damage’ and that ‘they have the talent of a celery’. Seriously, their brain washed minds and unnatural in ability to tell what the truth is in front of them require a slow application of pain rather then a fast one via a bomb because that would be a quick relief from actually learning something which I am certain most Americans really hate more then anything else

Iran's largest auto maker "IRAN KHODRO" just introduced a new family of 3 cylinder engines (IK-3) to power the auto products produced in the current Iranian year. The engine is Iranian designed but has a German DNA.





3 power ranges....

3 F3-H...149 hp
3 F3-N... 87 hp
3 F3-L... 121 hp

An annual Production run of 800,000 is planned for these engines.

the bean counters are advising against war but only because they won’t have material for the war and will be more akin to nazi germany circa 1941.
It’s not because they realised war would be foolhardy, it’s that they won’t be able to win it. Denazification of the western ruling class was incomplete thanks to American entry of the war.

NATO can't even prevent the defeat of Ukraine, what can an "Asian NATO" possibly achieve?


The US is essentially ruled by the deep-state. Presidents are just figureheads.

Here are some quotes. Noam Chomsky: "The United States effectively has a one-party system, the business party, with two factions, Republicans and Democrats."

Julius Nyerere: 'Yes, we have one party here. But so does America. Except, with typical extravagance, they have two of them!'

David P Goldman writes about the importance of Global South for China. My only quibble is the way he argues about China's innovation. I don't think the West has a decisive edge in innovation over China anymore.

Article is not bad and he made some good points, however it grinds my gears when folks think Africa is a monolith. I can't stand when they take individual countries and mention "Africa", that's so weird and it almost took me out of it. Some countries are more pro China than others.

I wonder at which point we'll see governments start launching NATO "war bonds" like in the 1940s... Easy way to get people to give you their money and not have them question it, like with taxes. You konw it's going to happen...

To be fair Asian American classification is still preferential to being banned from owning land, studying non bullshit majors, and eventually sent to concentration camps.

Well, Trump is all but guaranteed to win the election unless Biden voluntarily drops out and be replaced with another candidate.

Be ready for dramatic spike on tariffs for all Chinese imports - 60% as proposed by Project 2025.

More talks of “China Virus”.

More racial hate crimes.

Now that Biden is pretty much screwed for the upcoming election I’ve come to the realization that the last two and a half years of gaslighting efforts by MSM about the state of US economy has been all for nothing.
