And yet you continue with your liberal debatebro pedantry. Sad.

lol ok debatebro, but obviously it was comparison with Cold War 1.0. Pretty sure they didn’t have nukes in Russian civil war.

Yes, but US/UK never directly bombed/struck the USSR soil or vice versa, so it is unprecedented.

Note that for pro-war “Russia is losing more” etc. comments in that article, NYT is quoting Frederick Kagan, of the infamous neocon Kagan family, Victoria “Cookie Monster” Nuland married into (for another also neocon Kagan brother), while Institute for the Study of War is “ultra-hawkish” neocon “think-thank” of which another Kagan, Kimberly Kagan, is the president of.

They are all quite literally far-right fascist Project for the new American Century psychos. Thank you liberal NYT for bringing us their valuable opinions.

This so called “Pax Americana” we occasionally hear about, only applies to Western countries, but the author is trying to expand it to entire world, which is obviously ridiculous, given, you know…the reality.

If I remember correctly, they had their communist party split in two, so both the party in power and main opposition are communist.

However, the country is not doing that great, people are leaving for work etc, so what seems to me like liberals are gaining some traction now, at least locally, as my Nepalese colleague tells me.

I didn’t even add any special commentary. I literally just posted the list and the fact Germany is out of top 5 and Russia is in, and they were all in meltdown mode. It’s astounding to me, because I used to live in allegedly “authoritarian” socialist country and we were used to criticising and pointing out failures of our government all the time.

I posted this in gaming, mostly lib, forum and they had a meltdown yelling how Russia is about to collapse.

Me too, I just hope to see the USD dethroned during my lifetime. If Michael Hudson is right, the entire US military machine that runs on the fact USD is the global reserve currency, would crumble with it.

This is an old article. I asked the Marxist economist Michael Roberts for the next recession blog about it, but he said IMF numbers do not confirm what is being said here, so cautious with the optimism.

It seems to me US wants to “transfer knowledge” from TSMC, and they know it, so they are intentionally talking Chinese and bullying them with no intention of giving up their trade secrets to Americans.

What the hell? This article is so wild and TSMC is so “satanic” I actually felt sorry for the American workers.

Singaporean ex-diplomat said in one video…paraphrase: “The US is famous for 2 things, hating the Chinese and the Muslims. Now you expect us to believe they care so much about Chinese Muslims???” (laugh)

Media Bias Fact check has no methodology whatsoever and was proven to be unreliable and biased themselves.

ICJ judges rejected Kiev’s argument that Russia used false claims of a genocide in Donbas to justify its invasion

I did and I still don’t get it where “ICJ judges rejected Kiev’s argument that Russia used false claims of a genocide in Donbas to justify its invasion”. Could you please elaborate? I genuinely want to rub this into someones face…

They are very likely not going to do that. Proving a genocide is an extremely tricky business. The Srebrenica genocide committed by the Bosnian Serbs was very hard to prove IIRC.

This is why the Uyghur “genocide” nonsense was so infuriating to me. Only the Zionists are unhinged enough to openly and proudly admit, they are, in fact, doing a genocide, so the court almost has no choice but to proceed with that case in particular.

Is that really an argument here? I see here Ukraine accusing Russia of genocide, not what you wrote in the headline.

Wasn’t there an article just the other day, about Indonesia creating the de-dollarisation task force?

They are fast…

This is an older article. In the meantime, China did overtake the US in life expectancy.

Also, IIRC, even if you compare it by wealth, the American 10% richest live less than other “developed” countries 10%. It’s like the whole country is cursed.
