The west( mainly Europe ) criticized Qatar getting to host world cup when it was the safest world cup in history with not a single incident of violence or any disturbance.

The west needs to take a look at itself. Germany was on a moral crusade against Qatar, then they said they will boycott beijing Olympics over Uighur genocide but are now funding and shielding Israel from any criticism. This is why the west has no legitimacy.

Apparently the Israel team and athletes are getting alot of security this games. I guess they know how unpopular they are right now. Should have just ban them at the start and save the troubles. There are more real reasons to ban Israel than the Russians.

Some White House officials have outsourced national security questions to nonprofits, as they brainstormed scenarios in which sanctions would have to be massively ramped up to confront U.S. adversaries

And some people thought that the US couldn’t possibly be suicidal in their crusade against China. Outsourcing national security questions and answers to “non-profit” think-tanks.

Meanwhile, OFAC is being crushed under the workload from sanctions.

The number of sanctioned entities appeared to be growing too fast for OFAC to keep up. Nuance bred confusion; requests for clarification poured in, and the number of lawsuits against the agency tripled. Turnover intensified, as the rising stakes allowed Treasury staffers to bolt for private-sector paydays that could quadruple their earnings.
Current and former U.S. officials describe OFAC’s workload as overwhelming, the agency inundated with tens of thousands of requests from the private sector.

Simple. They are willing to cancel anyone or genocide any group of people that gets in the way of their megalomaniacal ambitions. The only viable defense is to hold superior power. Truly the greatest threat to humanity that the world has ever faced.

It read it was worse than outsourcing to India. There was a claim where they just used AI for testing and it gave the update a pass. o_O
They didn’t need to outsource to India because they simply imported the Indians here to basically not do their jobs.

sounds to me like Meloni wants to “clear the misunderstanding” by recanting and begging to be let back into BRI. China is not ungenerous so will acquiese…for a price of course. After all, we are not communists.

I do not doubt that China is capable of producing 100k 155mm shells a day. But the video footage in that tweet is suspect. It recycled lots of footage from this YouTube video about a US shell factory over a year ago. Just watch the first minute and we could see many recycled footage.

Is China capable of producing 100k 155mm shells a day? Yes, I have no doubt about that. But is it doing that right now? That I'm not so sure. China is still running a peacetime economy today, unlike Russia.
100K shells a day? this will be like 37m a year. how to deal with such scale for storage and transportation to a offroad military truck with much lower payload capacity. i dont think people will be willing to work in explosive factory long term.
Videos about cruise missiles or shell production atleast should show the storage size of the factory. and these masks are now used dealing with metal work.
this 12k per day factory size.

India think-tanks will give brilliant answers to perplexing American dilemmas such as "How to manage traffic in an urban setting?" (remove all road markings and put cows everywhere), "How to overcome FFG(X) delays?" (inaugurate the class as a 'submersible' FFG), and many other solutions. These think-tanks will show the Americans why India is the greatest supapowah.
