the first character does in fact mean “good” or “alright” (here used in the sense of the exclamation OK) and the other two form the phrase used to express “come in” (like answering a door knock)

Being an enlightened centrist doesn’t make you look as smart as you think.

The US only joined the war opportunistically and because Japan was stupid enough to drag them into it.

Ever heard of the guy named Harry Truman (I’m sure he wasn’t anyone too important)? That’s what he had to say about WW2:

If we see that Germany is winning we ought to help Russia and if Russia is winning we ought to help Germany, and that way let them kill as many as possible, although I don’t want to see Hitler victorious under any circumstances.

The Soviets did the majority of the fighting against the Nazis and the Chinese againt Japan.

Famously the US and Israel never started a War In The Middle East™ before a few weeks ago.

Brought to you by The Human Rights Watch, that voraciously peddled the “babies thrown out of incubators in Kuwait” to justify American Intervention™

A rare Polish W?

Sure, they experienced their country go from one of the top three poorest countries on earth to a top two economy in just a couple generations, but the reason they support their system must be because they just don’t know better.

China and Russia proposed alternative resolutions, the Global South countries on the Security Council decided to vote them down. It’s not China and Russia’s job to force which version of “strongly worded letter” will be adopted. Not like those resolutions do anything anyway.

You really think you’re the first one to cope with that argument?

Support for government in China: is the data accurate?

It is

I wonder if she realized by now, by being punished for stepping out of the line, how her whole career before that was to be a colonial judge to harass “African warlords and thugs like Putin”.

He needs to wash his brain, you could even say.

The purpose of a system is what it does, not what its marketing department says.

The only true ideal for power is that there is none except when handled by all. The US Constitution seemed to have this idea in mind with its intent

Are we talking about the same document granting exclusive political rights to land and/or slave-owning white males or are you a visitor from another dimension?

These are not cluster munitions which are indeed designed to harm as many civilians as possible (one of the favorite tools of the US by the way).

They are missiles which release multiple warheads near the end of their journey, each of which homes in on a separate target, they don’t just explode shrapnel in all directions like cluster bombs do.

I mean, those Shaheds need to eat something, and I hear they’re particularly fond of THAADS. So I guess good for them.

The consequences for what you’re calling “social credit score” in China is actually court orders issued on a case by case basis, not some automatic/bureaucrat-run all-encompassing system based on rating each citizen. I.e. it’s not a social score system.

If Iran has no accuracy, explain why missile warning heads up warning in ‘Tel Aviv’ went from 15 minutes down to just one or two after Iran started blasting.

The distinction between left and right in the U.S is democratic and Republic ideologies.

Both Republicans and Democrats subscribe to the same ideology: Liberalism. That is: the supremacy of private property and absolute freedom (for those who posses said private property). That’s what liberalism is, not whether you believe deep in your heart in the neccesity of “social progressivism”.

They just play the good cop/bad cop routine; and just like with those cops, their goal is the same, they just trick you into trusting one of them because he’s stopping the ‘bad cop’ from hurting you.
