Chairman Xi Europe yearns for freedom.

It is possible that they aren’t aware of the connection.

My sympathies to the comrades harmed by this, but otherwise Europe’s and Japan’s dominant position in many industries is ill gotten.

But have you considered “China bad”?

I really hope so but the US government is a den of genocidal thieves, I will not rest assured until it is dead.

Fewer [former] colonies to plunder

Now

Liberals live in the moment with no realization that things take years if not decades to develop.

The empire that looted the world.

Nothing lasts forever.

KSA’s allegiance is to KSA, if a pact with the US helps them, they will make it, if a pact with China helps them, they will make it. One reason cited by Saudi leaders as to why Saudi Arabia made more tech deals with China, Huawei for example despite US warnings, is that the deals aren’t conditioned on normalization with Israel and social and political changes.

KSA knows that it is a rich country that has many weak points and has no chance of surviving being on the bad side of the US. What the US is doing to Gaza serves as a warning to Arab leaders which makes them afraid unfortunately.

This is actually good. Saudi Arabia is afraid of the US, afraid to be turned into another Iran or worse Iraq. At face value this mutual defence pact means it has the protection of Pakistan’s nuclear weapons. There’s still the risk of economic sanctions but Saudi Arabia trades more with China and other East Asian countries than it does with the US. There’s also the issue of the US troops stationed in the region.

Saudi Arabia has stepped out of US rules a few times: when it made a peace deal with Iran to the objection of the Biden administration, and when it made technology deals with Huawei. They still have to pay tributes to the US every now and then though to keep away the risk of being sanctioned or invaded, but they take the form of investments and I think they benefit from it as well.

I found this translation from Middle_East_Spectator in Telegram. If you find the translation lacking, let me know and (if possible) help me fix it.

The translation looks good to me

It is in Arabic. I hope more Arabs read it and realize the truth. Then again too many are propagandized and blinded by sectarianism. I worry that they won’t wake up until it is too late.

Good

The unification of Germany was a mistake

The US responded in the most vicious and criminal way possible setting the West for the terminal decline it is now going through.

The human toll is high, but Binladen is still winning.

There are weak links in this:

1. Israel as ruthless and vicious as it is, it still can’t subdue a much larger population. The main advantage it has other than US-sourced weaponry is that Southwest Asia is divided among itself.
2. Europe is aging and deindustrializing and I don’t see how this can be reversed in less than a generation.

Other than it is a plausible scenario but also a sign of retreat for the US that it has limited itself to the Americas.

That metro station looks really nice. Well done DPRK, putting to shame even the empire that is sanctioning you.

The replies on the Wired article are wild. They assume African governments are amateurs. Always going for that “at what cost” angle.

The Sahel alone can provide enough electricity from solar to power the entire Earth.

I didn’t do the math and I didn’t verify it, but I did read it somewhere, and the original source said Libya which isn’t a Sahel country but I assume it is true for the Sahel as well.

Germany has a car production overcapacity.
