And China has the advantage when you consider the cost.

Westerners today have so much in common with their inquisition and crusades predecessors. They replaced Christianity with Western Liberalism and they fight for it with the same zeal. Either you adopt their values and systems or you are an evil heathen who must be destroyed.

Expecting others to adhere to your cultural and political norms is authoritarianism. Not willing to learn or tolerate differences is bigotry.

Star Wars and other movie tropes. This is theory for some people. Absolutely infantile.

川建国 strikes again

It wouldn’t be if it weren’t for the US and its allies

This was a war of choice. At some point the US needs to lose worse than it lost in Afghanistan to become more cautious of starting unnecessary war in the future. The US public, not just the military, need to remember it and tell their future children about it to avoid a repeat of it. The swift success in abducting the president of Venezuela gave the current US administration a sense of invincibility that they could repeat it in Iran.

“We have the strongest military in the world. You shouldn’t be running out of food,” Dan, a Marine veteran, told the outlet.

It is increasingly evident that this may not be the case. The US lost to Afghanistan, is incapable of concluding the war with Iran on its own terms, and I can’t see the US winning against PRC. What we know for certain is that the US has the most expensive military in the world.

Ever since PRC stopped sharing data with Top500 we don’t know where they stand but they are definitely not standing still.

Both parties are evil. If those 7 weren’t in the party, another 7 will do the same.

I’m glad someone forked OnlyOffice but wish they came up with a better name than EuroOffice

The practical reality of short-termism is mugging the textbook theory of democratic innovation in business management and economic science.

No corporation is a democracy, unless if employee owned and employees vote on the decisions. So it is the dictatorship of for-profit private corporations (USA) vs the dictatorship of the people represented by the state (PRC)

Have you considered turn based RPGs?

It is a capitalist democracy where both parties are controlled by the same monied class

Shows you the power of soft power propaganda. From the Indian Wars to Agent Orange to the genocide in Gaza, the US has been nothing but a racist and violent settler colonial state, yet it was admired and looked up to.

Would the Federal Reserve raise the interest rate? Can they since Trump has been vocally against it.

It is an AMD Jaguar from 2013.
