Ya, just saw the headline about anti-tax protesters shot dead. Interesting context to say the least.

The article glosses over the real reason for this, which is that Argentina is on an inflation rocket ride due to the new libertarian leadership. Getting paid in currency that is being continually devalued on a daily basis is worse than just getting the beef. China is the world’s largest market for beef.
A learned individual has defected from the evil regime’s empire to the land of liberation to help build a brighter future.
After explaining how “Israel” deliberately and systematically committed war crimes against Palestinians, Khan emphasized, “As I also repeatedly underlined in my public statements, those who do not comply with the law should not complain later when my Office takes action. That day has come.”
Karim Khan telling genociders ‘you’ve fucked around, now is the time of your finding out’
Shredding the last shred of plausibility of not being a genocidal state
Stephen Stanley, chief US economist at Santander Bank, said that any impact was likely to be small. “The biggest deflationary force in goods prices here of late has been used vehicles, which has nothing to do with China,” he said.
BYD, China’s biggest carmaker, recently announced price cuts of between 5 and 15 per cent for its electric vehicles in Germany, after Mercedes-Benz warned late last year that its profits were being hit by a “brutal” price war in electric vehicles.
Citigroup analysts said this month that falling prices in China could help to hasten moves by central banks in emerging markets to cut interest rates this year, particularly in countries that consume relatively large shares of Chinese goods.
“We as investors are only just starting to connect the dots” on how falling prices imported from China might play out across markets, said Luis Costa, global head of emerging markets sovereign debt strategy at Citigroup. “The question is the magnitude.”
Every technology that China invests in developing for themselves has ultimately improved access to that tech in the global south beyond anything the west has done. Solar and smart phones being the first two examples with high speed rail coming along too. This will likely follow a similar process. I’m excited to see where this leads.
China is supporting Russia who are waging a war resulting in civilian casualties!
but the civilian casualty rate is like 10+ times worse in the war [actually a genocide] that the USA is directly supporting
This is going to boost the insurance rates I would imagine. Prosperity Guardian is going to be spending money on protecting a handful of the most risk-tolerant ships/crews. The only other traffic will be non-genocider/enablers stuff that won’t be targeted anyway.
Makes me wonder if BRICS dedollarization is going to become the economic stick wielded against the genociders and their enablers. They seem very dedicated to isolating themselves from the vast majority of the rest of the world.
Here is the relevant section:
Over many years, the United States has criticised NATO Allies for not spending enough on defence. Rightly so. And I commend the U.S. leadership on this important issue. But things have changed.
All Allies have increased defence investments. Adding an additional 450 billion dollars. NATO Allies have committed to spending at least 2% of their GDP on defence. And many are exceeding that target already. For example, this year Poland will spend more than 4%. No other Ally spends more.
With more money, we are boosting our defence industry.
NATO creates a market for defence sales.
Over the last two years, NATO Allies have agreed to purchase 120 billion dollars’ worth of weapons from U.S. defence companies.
Including thousands of missiles to the U.K, Finland and Lithuania,
Hundreds of Abrams tanks to Poland and Romania,
And hundreds of F-35 aircraft across many European Allied nations – a total of 600 by 2030.
From Arizona to Virginia, Florida to Washington state,
American jobs depend on American sales to defence markets in Europe and Canada.
What you produce keeps people safe. What Allies buy keeps American businesses strong. So NATO is a good deal for the United States.
Ladies and gentlemen,
The Heritage Foundation stands for the power of ideas that keep America strong. NATO is an incredibly powerful idea. That advances U.S. interests. And multiplies America’s power.
The total death toll in Gaza since October 7 has increased to at least 28,340 Palestinians, while an estimated 67,984 have been injured.
Israeli media reported that in the early morning of February 12, two Israeli hostages were recovered by Israeli forces in Rafah, marking the first time hostages had been taken in a military operation.
The Zionist Entity’s actions clearly show that they value the life of 1 citizen as equivalent to ~15,000 Palestinian lives. That’s just simple logic and math.
Saying that Palestinians need to demiltarize while the Zionist entity is getting billions in lethal aid from the US regularly.
What about that whole ‘Ukraine did Nordstream’ narrative? Guess Germany knows it’s a cover story.
I gave you a perfectly reasonable explanation of what the same map means. You refuse to accept it and write like this. Disengage.
Whotf talks like this anyway?
is an accusation and not an opinion besides also being wrong.
No each map is explained on that comm. You assigning it ‘imperial core’ and asking for an explanation is some JAQing off sealioning imo. Theses maps correlate how interests of countries align around various issues, and the ‘same map’ comes up a lot because of how these same countries often agree on things in contrast to the the rest of the world. It’s not some socio-political theory, it’s just the reality of how these countries align into blocs that correlate with maintaining the current US hegemonic status quo.
The two maps that really ‘explained’ this concept for me were the map of countries that ‘condemn China’s treatment of Uyghur Muslims’ contrasted with the map of ‘countries that recognize Palestine’. It shows how this bloc of countries want to demonize China while supporting the ongoing genocide of Palestine’s indigenous peoples. The principles they espouse are unmasked in the light of the truth of this comparison.

lots of examples of what this map emoji means here
I particularly like this one of the countries that recognize Palestine, which is the inverse of the ‘same map’.

Is this so that the conscripts will be able to read the US weapons’ user manuals?
