Wooo more nuclear

Isn’t their government currently illegitimate because they refused to hold elections?

Fact is, if Russia wanted to overthrow Zelensky they would’ve done it by now. The problem isn’t Zelensky, but the entire notion of Ukrainian independence from Russia. Until Russia can comprehensively beat that idea out of the Ukrainian ethos, this war will not end.

See also: US-Cuba, China-Taiwan, and historically US-South America under the Monroe Doctrine.

Note that this idea isn’t about domestic sovereignty insomuch as it is about who your allies can be. If Ukraine were independent but in CSTO or even in BRICS, there would be no issues. Similarly, if Cuba were to be a US ally instead, sanctions would be dropped and it would be welcomed with open arms.

India probably still paid with rupees that Russia can’t spend lmao

The collapse of the petrodollar will happen slowly, and then all at once…

Google funds Calico, which studies aging. Thus, Google is an anti-aging company.

MiHoYo… Isn’t a gaming company? How do they make their money? Jesus Christ this is some tin foil hat conspiracy shit

What exactly do you think a startup is?

Chinese carmakers are claiming the EC asked for battery chemistries. That’s like… The secret sauce lmao

Glad that we agree that the South China Sea is entirely vibes-driven and has no foundation in international law.

Do you think the territorial sea extends 200nm?

The funny thing now is that the only thing keeping Khan in prison is the “un-Islamic marriage” case.

Yemeni the absolute madlads

Canada not being a fuckwad on this for once.

Everyone thinks they’re above international bodies, but most don’t pretend that they don’t think so.

My foreign interference

Your authoritarian stomping on freedom of speech

BYD made the most rich white suburban mom car in the world (Yangwang U8, look it up) and immediately got kicked out of the market lmao

UT-Austin is public. University of Minnesota is public. Ohio State is public. All of these schools receive billions in government funding.

Spying from within public educational institutions feels rather counterintuitive. Chinese students weren’t getting security clearance anyway, so the only goal of their research is to be published in publicly viewable journals or conferences. This is a witch hunt.

I thought that the Philippines were explicitly denied the Spratly Islands in their treaty for independence with the US because the Philippines did not hold sovereignty over the Spratlys when they were a Spanish colony? I can understand China and Vietnam’s conflicting claims, but the Philippines sounds like they’re ignoring the first rule of UNCLOS: UNCLOS does not resolve issues of sovereignty and does not supercede existing sovereignty claims.

The Filipino claim on the Spratlys is completely nonsensical. By the same argument, Kinmen should also be Chinese. It’s stupid, insane, and just an opportunity to deflect from the very real territorial dispute between China/Taiwan and Vietnam.

David Cameron is in support of genocide.
