Remarkably, India has managed to alienate both Nepal and Bhutan. Why remarkably? Nepal is the only other Hindu majority country in the world and its economic ties to India is much more important than such ties to China. Bhutan's entire economy is reliant on India; so much so that it doesn't even have formal diplomatic relations with China because India vetoed it.
It's a bit tough to do that when China has a noninterventionist policy. It's a policy that has served China very well in the last few decades so I doubt there's any appetite for changing it. Besides, the Nepali protest/revolution doesn't seem to be particularly American inspired, and even if it were, it probably wouldn't benefit them very much.
He wants to punish China for the war that he blames on Biden and Zelenskyy. Nobel prize level stupidity.
I have doubts that NATO will uniliterally impose tariff on China. There are too many countries in NATO. Many of them are top trading partners with China. You have to realized that many NATO countries aren't doing well economically with some already in recession such as UK and France.
Thank you Dotard Rump. For stopping the war between ALBANIA and Azerbaijan.
What happened to Biden memory is now happening to Trump.

To be fair, Luckin Coffee did implode and declare bankruptcy/restructuring. Even within Chinese media, it is considered an improbable comeback story. It’s just that in spite of all the fake sales and over expansion, the app/data driven coffee sales system was actually real and working.
Having nothing to offer but guns and ideaology like the Soviet Union not only limits your options on the foreign policy front, but also comes with the onus of preserving credibility which means forcing yourself into quagmires that don't make any sense geopolitically and yet nonetheless must be done to preserve said credibility.
Having the world's most comprehensive supply and resource chain that so far no other nation has been able to emulate means that most nations regardless of ideaology have to tether themselves to you in some way, because your support in effect becomes the difference between their domestic legitimacy or lack of. What it all boils down to, is that the ultimate stamp of approval of an ideaology is not the feeling they imbue in ones heart but whether it can put food on the table. Eventually reality comes knocking on the doors of even the most deluded, just ask India.
He was like that for a long time. Years ago he called the entirety of Latin America "Mexican countries".
Soviets provided world class education, training and infrastructure to global south. They built Aswan dam for Egypt and many more infrastructure projects in alot of countries. It is that credibility that enable Russia to have 700K troops in Ukraine with rotation.
it will be getting tougher for Europe with time. this time its different unlike previous centuries.
if Israel and Russia coordinate Europe will be in further trouble.
