But but but they launched their face into my fist says the bully.

your name, Xulai is Chinese isn’t it? You need to be more clever about faking yourself as a “Westerner” Chinese bot.

You are sadly not well informed on the global trade and economics. Read my comment history. I don’t like China or Trump. Both are authoritarian regimes and fascists. I suppose that makes you in favor of China and a Chinese bot on a Western discussion board?

It’s not new, and it’s known to China and any half-intelligent observer forever. Rare earths are the only lever China has on US. US on the other hand has a chokehold on China’s throat, its economic future and present: AI chips, and the largest single export market for China’s economic engine while its economy falters - its exports. Trump has the leverage, and he’s bargaining hard.

I wouldn’t be surprised if he has operations in Myanmar either.

I will not be surprised if he has operations in Myanmar either.

Well someone in MAGA world finally has the balls to call a spade a spade. It appears she doesn’t fear Trump’s reprisals and retributions, knowing full well what a thin-skinned insecure tiny hand man he is.

the “Buddhists” of Pol Pot’s regime certainly made effective/murderous communists

Your post shows a lot of errors and erroneous logic. Pol Pot wasn’t “Buddhist” Pol Pot was a communist. Conflating conflicts in Sri Lanka to the conflict in Myanmar into a “violence in Buddhist regions around the world” is a logical fallacy, and intellectually stupid as can be. A brief look at your post history shows your interest in colouring every conflict into a religious one is rather disturbing.

I posted this story from Irrawady yesterday: https://lemmy.ca/post/52965387. The numbers are much higher.

I hear the name “Thatcher” and I shiver in loathing and fear that she will do the same kind of damage Thatcher did to UK.

It is shameful that global news organizations are deliberately ignoring these war crimes by Israeli forces, treating them as not news worthy.

Good god. Are British police as bad as American cops now?

"the Mailiao refinery owned by Formosa Petrochemical Corporation (FPCC) — a privately owned company — increased its reliance on Russian naphtha from 9% before the full-scale invasion to 90% in the first half of 2025, and has been responsible for importing 96% of Taiwan’s total imports. "

If that was a white family? Oh I bet he’d care.

They’re also Arab-Americans presumably so Trump isn’t going to care.

Folks, this is a regular occurence in Myanmar, and not a one-off thing. This military regime is a terror state.

Who’s to say Saudis won’t develop their own nuclear weapons? This brings them a step closer.

Reuters has proved that Cook didn’t commit alleged fraud: https://www.reuters.com/world/us/no-evidence-primary-residence-violation-by-fed-gov-lisa-cook-says-michigan-2025-09-16/

From the sound of it, this was a commercial Filipino fishing vessel that likely rammed the Chinese ship by accident because the Chinese navy damaged that ship with powerful water cannons.

DODGE is a government agency and they were carrying out a political agenda they WON the election on. Guess what, this is what we are seeing happening across the US government. The same with ICE. More than HALF of your country wanted this. I don’t like what they’re doing but that’s the choice Americans made. If you want to reverse it, elect a government that can!

There are very much other instances of us on the “left” doing this. People have gotten fired for being vaguely racist lgbt etc speech. This is very much the same type of argument they are making. This is echo chamber talk and the downvote that I am seeing is very much a reflection of the lack of self-awareness that we often accuse them of. Do reflect deeply, and not act just on the basis of your emotions and biases.

Also, do dig deeper, some have said much more than “Kirk was hateful.”
