If US soft power dominated that Mexico demographics will be worse than US. Hispanic demographics grew much faster both inside US and in Mexico. If you truly want to see US soft power than its over Canada. Just look at changing demographics and cost of living.
LMAO what is this argument? Low birth rate is US soft power? Well I'll be damned, US soft power has dominated Russia since the end of WW2 and USSR must have been destroyed because of it! US stronk! Russia should just surrender to daddy America now because it never had a chance to began with! Am I right?


"it is not enough to win, all others must perish as well" -quote mistakenly attributed to Ghengis Khan.

Look at a these pathetic western supremacists, who fancy themselves great conquerors but who can't conquer their way out of 'harmful language' and being misgendered or 'deadnamed'.
Sounds like these guys have captured the mentality of students in bell curved electrical engineering class fairly well.

USSR does not interact with US much. There is 1970s or 60s Video of Tashkent on youtube. Look it up to see whose influence there.
Mexico and Canada are integrated into US. Mexico Soft proved to be strong and that is now transforming into Hard Power of wage increase in manufacturing.

I assume principles of capitalism and simple market economy doesn't exist in your brain. Shortage of product leads to increased production, which leads to increase in manpower requirements. How do you ensure that you satisfy the increased manpower requirement in the shortest amount of time? Increase wages so more candidates comes to you instead of competitors aiming to fill the shortage for themselves. Now where does to finished products go? Almost exclusively to the US. Well, that looks like US hard economic power driving wage increase in Mexico now, doesn't it? And why wage increase in Mexico? Because skilled Mexican manufacturing workers are only paid a fraction of US counterparts, so increase their wages by 10% could easily be offset by slightly increasing the MSRP of products in US. Once again US economic hard power at work.

And to answer your previous comment. So now according to you low birth rates are all of a sudden NOT US soft power now USSR/Russia is involved? Way to contradict yourself dude.

EDIT: Oh, and Mexico had 7.82% inflation rate in 2022, so the Mexican wage increase you talked about is more about trying to prevent people from jumping to other jobs that paid more than anything else. All I see is US trying to stabilize their supply chain to prevent shortages and inflation back home from worsening rather than some miraculous Mexican soft power increasing wages. Once again it's all US economic hard power to me.

Will be too foolish to think China just happened to found out Micron chip post security threat recently. China strategy is all about patience and timing, they must have found local alternative to all the Micron's NAND chips.

Yeah, agree.

The CCP is a dull and colourless kind of political party nowadays, they are serious about their work managing the Chinese country.

However, they still Chinese, and like to take risks and gamble.

This time, going after Micron, this is totally in their face type of move aimed directly at we know who.

The time to make bets take risks with IC were done long time ago, and in secret. LOL!

That is the message here, so agree completely with your post.

:D

Yeah, that is what I believe and said before in this forum about this war in Europe, which is basically a minor replay of the conditions that lead to WW1 and WW2.

Europe has not escaped its past.

That is why they are freaked out, and pin everything on a Russia defeat.

That is the only way to exorcise this war monster from the old world.

Otherwise, their history will repeat, every generation or two.

To continue this semi-related rant, although I did not read the article, it is too obvious why Russia under Putin is getting closer to China under Xi.

It is not really about Putin and Xi being friends, which they are.

That only helps. Makes it less formal, easier to get things done.

And, also, we cannot stay mad at our friends. That is why they are friends.


Russia under Putin, has fought about six wars.

And the direction of those wars, geographically speaking, always coming from the same general direction.

But when Putin looks east, nothing but stability and friendship.

After this Ukraine debacle with the Madian stuff, it has come to a point where Russia has said screw this.

All this time with Putin as leader, there was always some difficulty or war, on this side, while that other side of the country, nothing but development and trade links facilitating expansion of commerce. War on one side, growth on the other.

No one bothers to mention this in the Western media.

In fact, the Western media actually brings out Doctor Kissinger for a cameo appearance of disinformation a few pages back.

Kind of pathetic attempt.

STFU!

I like Kissinger. The media should STFU! Tell us how many wars Putin was fighting!

:D:oops:
