Exactly, and the rate of progress there is just stupefying.

as shocked as you are that India will not abandon billions in trade just because the US is mad

They’re not nice. They wanted to be part of the western club since the fall of USSR, but the west chose to have an antagonistic relationship instead which pushed Russia towards the Global South, because it’s the only option they had. Iran is important to both Russia and China geographically since it creates a route to Middle East and Africa, and it acts as the key force to contain US and Israeli influence in the region.

What an amazing counterpoint you’ve mustered. I can really tell I’m dealing with top grade liberal intelligentsia here.

Only a liberal quotes an absolute statement to claim that absolutes are bad, proving once again that their entire worldview is based on screenwriting and vibes with critical thinking nowhere to be found.

Might want to ask yourself why Chinese companies did this with stuff like solar panels and EVs, and the answer to your question will come to you.

We live in a plutocracy.

There’s zero chance of that happening given the EU relationship with Russia.

All these people should be in jail. Tue fact that they’re only suffering social consequences for committing horrific crimes shows that the west has a two tier justice system.

Once Chinese companies ramp up production, there’s going to be cheap RAM again. Also, the bubble will pop eventually.

Psychological Warfare in the Strategy of Imperialism is an excellent deep dive into the whole thing.

That’s true, they are sticklers for procedure.

🤣

A full-scale, unprovoked invasion of Iran is the only thing that will make Trump a real president in the eyes of the Democrats.

lol didn’t Machado already give him hers in hopes of being crowned queen of Venezuela

What could the EU possibly threaten the US with at this point? The EU is entirely dependent on the US militarily, and now for energy as well. All Trump has to do is to stop LNG shipments and the EU will be in a massive crisis. He’s got Europeans bent over a barrel here, and everybody knows it. There has been no single instance of the EU standing up to Trump to date.

not helping your case there

Yeah, if China stops supplying rare earths, that’s really going to cripple US military production capacity going forward.
