Also far from any "genius geopolitical move", this shows American desparation if nothing else. EU are their literal slaves who would obey them in any situation. If you're slaughtering your lapdogs so you can have meat on the table, you might want to admit that you're about to starve.

A strong and prosperous EU would be a far more serious threat to China, but alas, America is unable to retain stability both in its core territories and the colonial territories.
EU havent packed there bags fast enough in Asia. Also Mexico greater production gives US more confidence to really put foot on the pedal.

So we went ahead of asians being not humane to being subhuman in less than a week. Alright. For context purposes, they said Russians are asians therefore asians and Russians are less humane in a nutshell summary.

What I would argue is this.

RACISM is barbarism.

The Nazis were famous for race based policies, especially against the Jews.

Is what happened to the Jews in World War 2 not barbarism?

This argument is direct and obvious.

Start blasting those crap heads on Twitter, Reddit, etc ...

:D

I think people are reading too much into this due to the mainstream news heralding it as a "breakthrough pact".
It is basically nonsense as it is, just a bunch of lawyer fodder as no tariff treatments are changed.
This is the usual politician/government make speeches, press releases, photo ops, handshakes, smiles, but no actual substance.

Compare it to ECFA which had concrete numbers and industries. If not for DPP's stupidity, the potential for Taiwan to take full advantage was there.

Correct. She is not Furude Rika from Higurashi no Naku Koro ni.

Not only is she canonically not Rika (nor a version/incarnation/descendant/manifestation of her), but this is doubly silly because she happens to be a creation of a no Naku Koro ni character who actually is Furude Rika from Higurashi, no matter how many lorelets screech to the contrary.

Behold, as I reveal not only the error of your ways, but also the correct answer to the Satoko->LambdaDelta and Rika->Bernkastel debate. All who wish to contest my RED TRUTH are incorrect, simple-minded, and cringe.

Chapter 1 - The Truth in the Falsehood

Let's start with the middleman between Furudo Erika (<3) and Rika Furude: Frederica Bernkastel.

After enduring one too many fragments, Rika's soul was cleaved in two, and the witch "Frederica Bernkastel" was created. She is the manifestation/crystallization of all the despair, hopelessness, and apathy felt by Rika after every loop, in every fragment, at every dead end. Essentially, she is the culmination of all 110 years of Rika's soul being mercillessly forced to hop from dead-end fragment to dead-end fragment in pursuit of a Miracle.

Her direct connection was explicitly stated by Rika in Episode 3 of the Dice Killing arc (Saikoroshi-hen) of the Anime - wherein she finds herself in an unfamiliar fragment not compatible with her own, requiring her to navigate back to her native game board (with the aid of powerful mythological weapons such as

... though she later regrets using such a destructive implement, and apologizes for

).
According to Hannyu in anime: "It was all a dream I made up to make you appreciate your parents!" Just a prank bro.

No I never watched the Naku Koro ni, I just know there is a character that looks like Rika. That is all the depth to my comment.

I'm well aware of the meme ending of E3 of that arc, but for the same reason u shouldn't take Umineko Episode 7's ??? to be the troof of this world, u shouldn't necessarily trust Hanyuu during her bouts of auautism!

Regardless, the anime was just less willing to be explicit about the Bern/Rika split in general, so I do ofc understand why someone would see that and think otherwise; but I'd recommend giving the manga a read for the full picture (and it is quite a bit more overt during this specific event tbh).


Don't worry, im just using you as a punching bag to stretch my writeup muscles before I start really posting again. It has been a while after all - gotta get back into the swing of things.

But also, kneel before my ability to turn a 6 word joke into a 4300 word schizo ramble
I refuse to read that part to avoid spoiler.

I finished all of Higurashi anime. Right now I am on the visual novel. I use a composite version of that combine best part of different release that port into android.

Chinese experts that were solely intended to fish proprietary information. Maybe most Chinese officials finally understand that freely passing information to foreigners for a price is considered espionage.

Are they seriously going to consider invading Niger with 25,000 soldiers? 25 million population with a landmass that is slightly 2x larger than Ukraine.
Niger doesn't have much of a military, virtually no air force so 25,000 doesn't sound completely crazy. From the perspective of Nigeria Niger is the equivalent of a small province.

Also, theoretically the Nigerian army doesn't need to stick around and fight an insurgency, just reinstate the old regime and leave.

Even still I have a feeling they are underestimating the task at hand. You only have to look at Libya's failed invasion of Chad to see how things can go.

We already know this: America's accusation that China is prosecuting its minorities in Xinjiang and Tibet is just projection.
