He retired? This fuck better not get an appointment in the next administration.



A comforting lie.

The IMF loots countries that take loans and in contrast China forgives loans. The reason Africa is aligning more with China is because they’re getting a better deal. If they really were just the same as the West then China wouldn’t be winning the continent.


We exploit Africa. China has begun to take up Western marketshare in Africa because they’re less exploitative and offer a better deal.


It’s worse. For example, this war has been the deadliest for journalists in modern history, and by proportion of people killed maybe even the deadliest ever. They don’t just target them in their homes, they target the families of journalists too. This is something new.


🙄

Gospel is an AI that Israel uses to select targets.


Israel’s “Gospel” has shown us where this leads.

(it leads to civilian casualties and war crimes)



I must be out of my depth! Yuan is traded for dollars every day and there’s a current scheme where it’s traded/invested in the CFETS basket of 24 national currencies they do business with, so I can’t make heads-or-tails of what you’re talking about.


China doesn’t even let you take Yuan out of the country in most cases, even if someone wanted to take it in payment.

Just two weeks ago China and Saudi Arabia signed a ¥50 billion currency swap agreement lol


The US doesn’t want China replacing the US in other countries, though, because that still means less business for the US.

I don’t think this is going to play out the same way it did with the Soviets. The Sino-Soviet split happened specifically because China could see what the United States was doing and how it was going to win the Cold War, so they played the long game and made themselves an essential part of the global economy. I guess it all comes down to whether or not China is ready for this - and it looks like they are.


🙄 All the US is doing is bifurcating the global economy. China will just do business elsewhere.



Yeah a lot of single issue gun voters vote Republican despite agreeing with Democrats on almost everything else.


Correction: less than half of the voters vote for them, but because of the way the government is structured they still control half or more of the government and can take the presidency despite losing the popular vote and now control the Supreme Court forever.


Am I really supposed to believe that there is zero interest on the part of the US government and US businesses to keep us divided? It’s allllll a foreign psyop? Come on.





Well, to be fair, the Pentagon never wiped out the entire human race and forced it to restart from a single family.

So, God? More evil than the Pentagon.


People are one thing, but the fucking Pentagon shouldn’t be talking about it! There’s nothing intellectual about this shit.


It’s a term invented and popularized by racist people to make racist policies (yes even Orwell - “Shooting an Elephant” is sus af) . There is already a term that refers to all three Abrahamic religions! By specifically excluding Islam, they are able to exclude the Arab world and all those nonwhite Muslims and make them into an Other. It’s an underpinning ethical framework for shit like the invasions of Iraq and Afghanistan, overthrowing Ghaddafi and the Muslim Brotherhood and plunging North Africa into chaos, and ethnically cleansing Palestine.

It needs to fucking stop.
