China is not a net fuel producer, they import a large portion of their energy themselves. They have been donating solar panels however, and hopefully they ramp that up. However, Russia being one of the biggest fuel exporters is stepping up.

I guess they failed the qualification round of outrunning the TCC. https://www.nytimes.com/2023/12/15/world/europe/ukraine-military-recruitment.html

Not that I’ve seen.

I honestly kinda prefer older civ games because they were simpler and more focused. For me, Civ3 might really be the peak of the series.

It’s the openly becoming part, before there was an attempt to pretend the US was some sort of a democracy. Now, the mask is completely off.

basically yeah, at least if it’s in a group, I always try to see how far I can push people left when just chatting one on one

The simple answer is it’s because western liberal regimes are not democracies. A system where you have one set of laws for regular people, and another for the affluent is a plutocracy.

I would argue that it is in fact bad because it’s a threat to national security and sovereignty. The Europeans are now finding out that they’re unable to produce things domestically that their people need, and have become entirely reliant on US energy exports and military protection.

China isn’t forcing anybody to buy their goods at gunpoint last I checked. The fact that western markets are unable to produce comparable goods at the same prices is entirely the problem with the way western economies are structured. The whole premise for loosely regulated markets was that they were supposed to be more efficient than state planning, turns out that was a big fat lie. So now the dumb fucks in the west are crying that their failed economic model can’t compete with China. Tough!

It’s pretty clear that Epstein network operated all throughout Europe. Mandelson revelations being a prime example of this.

Also, it’s fascinating how agency and self determination is only reserved for movements that are pro western. Notice how easily liberals dismiss the right of LPR/DPR for self determination.

British media, in particular, has been making some hilariously hamfisted attempts to draw a connection

Again, the files literally show that Epstein worked with Israel to try and overthrow Putin and the government in Russia. They even had a guy picked out who fled to Ukraine now. If this group of yours had any influence at all, it would’ve been disbanded a long time ago. Especially after the war in Ukraine started. Also, I hope you realize that your article is from over a decade ago, and a lot of things have changed geopolitically since then. You seem to really want this conspiracy theory of yours to be true, but all the actual evidence points against it. Try actually thinking critically here and looking at the evidence instead of coming up with a conclusion first and then trying to justify it.
