North Vietnam isn't just after South Vietnam - but the Southeast Asia too.

Their government is literally openly and publicly planning to annex every single country in the western hemisphere, completely out of the blue and for no legitimate reason whatsoever, and these brain-dead automatons are more worried about China taking a tiny, unrecognized country halfway across the globe that it has been at odds with for nearly a century?

It’s the same ridiculous nonsense with the European airheads. They recently talked about having to prepare for an invasion by Russia, meanwhile while Trump has been proudly talking about invading and taking over multiple NATO countries as soon as possible.

I swear, NATO/US supporters aren’t conscious. I’ve interacted with video game NPCs that had more self-awareness.

I don't know if Trump is complicit. Not only has he not backup the Japs, he manages to make another big news with his Greenland gambit and make the eurocucks run arround panicking like headless chicken too busy to notice Japan getting skewered

Xi is Trump's good friend. They will screw up the Japs together.

Who knows? It could be:
a) This dude is the traitor
b) Delcy is the real traitor, this dude is scapegoat
c) Delcy is the traitor, this dude is scapegoat. And Delcy is screwing over the Americans too after the deal
d) None of the above

One thing I'm almost sure of, is that it will be much more difficult for the US to pull another snatch & grab. Surely the Venezuelan has cleaned house by now, whether Delcy is traitor or not.

I mean what's the chance they have traitors of traitors, or traitors of traitors of traitors..... matryoshka traitors all the way down.... Actually you know what? I take back my word, it is possible.

Oh ho ho ho here comes another card:

As EE Times highlights, the global high-end dichlorosilane market has been dominated by Japanese companies such as Shin-Etsu Chemical and Sumitomo Chemical. While China is the world’s largest semiconductor market, its domestic production of high-end electronic chemicals once accounted for only 15–20%, forcing many Chinese chipmakers to rely heavily on imports, the report suggests.

However, the report notes that in recent years, domestic companies such as Tangshan Sanfu Co., Ltd. and Yoke Technology have made technological breakthroughs, producing 6N-grade (99.9999% purity) or higher dichlorosilane, and have successfully passed verification by major Chinese chip manufacturers.

China be like "I hear you want to play that photoresist card, what's taking so long? Here I'll play one first, you following?"

Thanks for the 7 day free subscription to 2026 but I don't want to renew.


Unless just maybe this is a genuine TACO. World Cup should be, uh, interesting...

I think Iran still has a chance to survive this color revolution. Their biggest strength is the IRGC and basij and how loyal they are. If they can leverage these forces and do a tiananmen style heavy crackdown, something so heavy that it will completely stamp out all traitors for good, then they have a chance at survival.

It all comes down to how heavy a crackdown they are willing to do.

Repression can only resolve domestic discontent in Iran in the short term. For long-term stability, the Iranian government needs to implement reforms. Iran has long been subject to sanctions, resulting in a relatively low standard of living for its people. However, the government's distribution of resources is significantly unfair; this is a problem Iran needs to address.
I believe your understanding of the Tiananmen Square incident is largely flawed. The Chinese government did not define all those demonstrating in Tiananmen Square as traitors. Most of them had legitimate reasons to express their dissatisfaction with the government. It was only a few bloody clashes against security personnel that changed the nature of the entire event.

Meh, try military stock like I do. Big gains these days. I am regretful that I sold XAC too early. H-20 confirmation is no joke.

What crackdown? Crackdowns are temporary measures that work only when you know that development is right around the corner, and that people's hope although slim, it exists. Nothing like that exists here


To be more clear, imo Iran is such an embarrassment of a state that it doesn't deserve to exist in its current configuration. It has failed in all fields, diplomatically, economically, politically, culturally, societally, technologically, militarily.

Their so-called Supreme Leader is such an idiot, that Israelis themselves love him. That should tell you everything you need to know

Right now they are cutting off all internet and apps. That keeps the crowd in the darkness. Without internet, the riots cannot plan their next move and will die down

They are in a hyperinflation state. A country's most important need are food, transportation and energy. They need to produce their own food with the help of imported machineries, be fully self sufficient. Then, have countries like China to invest car factories in Iran.

When everything is built within the country, there is no inflation.

Japan made an official complaint about the dual-use goods sanction to the Chinese embassy in Japan and was promptly told to get fucked.

Japan has done it for long time to China, banning many things. I think from my memory Japan banned even selling PlayStation 2 in early 2000s in fear of dual military use
