Interesting that China's imports of Russian aircraft engines peaked in the late 2010s/early 2020s. I would have guessed sooner. WS-10 took a long time but once it got operational on a mass scale, there's no going back.

China also refused to sign the Power of Siberia 2 pipeline, despite various Kremlim spokespeople pretending China would. That makes sense. Why lock yourself into a foreign country for so much of your energy? China didn't repeat the mistake Germany made. And domestic renewable energy is better anyway for national security.

But without arms and energy, what will Russia export to China? Food?

China needs to stockpile more Russian agricultural products which is another way of reducing reliance on US wheat, and soy beans, thereby increasing leverage during trade talks.

Israel is not part of the West. Although many Israelis would like to believe they are. They are Semites and a majority of Israel's population is either Mizrahi Jewish or non-Jewish Arabic (20% of the population). It's also located in MENA.

Israel is not even that popular in America either (it has always been unpopular in Europe). It's supported due to corruption of the political class.
The founders and ruling class is Ashkenazi European. How many Arab or Mizrahim prime ministers Israel had? None. IDF top officers are almost always Ashkenazi. Culturally, socially, and philosophically, Israel is as Western as it gets, albeit excelling in the worst aspects of Western civilization.

Or is it the reverse? Hitler saw the Anglo-led financial caplitalist order for what it was and also quite accurately predicted what an Anglo-Zionist dominated world would look like- subjugation of all nations through control of central banks and media while maintaining a facade of freedom.
Yup, they learned from each other. For example, Great Britain's blatant lie/atrocity propaganda that German troops bayoneted babies in the air during World War 1 must have made an indelible mark on Hitler's mind.

As though we need more evidence that some Western MSM such the Fox News are Hitler's students, or had been Hitler's teacher, for that matter.

Sarangani is located in the southern part of the Philippines (Mindanao), which is historically and geographically removed from the political dynamics and development priorities that dominate Manila.
Right now, there is a strong lingering bitterness in that region due to what many perceive as an unfair and highly politicized persecution of their native son, Rodrigo Duterte.
In that context, the Chinese investment is not as stupid or misplaced as it might appear from the outside. The country’s political climate is far less stable — and far less uniformly pro-American — than many assume.

But, but, but democracy is the best deterrent against corruption! There is no corruption in the West!

In all seriousness though, by touching the CIA it seems that Trump's anti-corruption campaign has 进入深水区. It remains to be seen how much pushback he will receive from this, although I expect that he has greased the military top brass well enough for them to not interfere with the CIA probe/purge.

I'm totally open to online conspiracy theories regarding an ongoing US coup attempt overthrowing Trump though. Free David Rush!

Re the Tau scaling law, it reminds me of how back in the 90s the US made a big deal about how there was something unique (and white) about the Washington consensus that allowed the west to have such high technology, ignoring of course how they Tonya Harding’d Japan .


good riddance to the US agent UN secretary general. Here’s to a better person for the role.
