That's the problem with becoming a financial center and middle man first, if the place that actually produces the products decides to give you the finger you're shit out of luck.
We are getting the trailer at the moment:
So basically this but IRL
He for some reason reminds me of the stereotypical Russian gangsters in GTA IV and movies and stuff, the way he looks and is dressed. I'm surprised he's not wearing fake Adidas.
Genius way of fucking with us in a way we can’t say shit about.
Ngl, my son would love one of those.
Isn't that just basically Catholicism with a beard?
China has also spread a lot more bribes around the US, including of government officials than Russia has. This is one of the reasons why I'm worried China will underestimate how bad invading Taiwan will be for them, I suspect they really do not expect the US to act.
That video is so absurd that it actually made me laugh. It's like they're speed running arrests.
The problem with the ISW chart is that its based on ISW's growing tendency to minimize Russian territorial gains on their maps and to claim that cities and areas are still under Ukrainian control even if there are no Ukrainian forces in those particular areas.
I can see an argument for that, but I personally wouldn't do that. Doing so would thin out reserves pretty substantially, and if the Ukies did launch a counter-attack beyond just reoccupying lightly garrisoned areas, you'd be running the risk of them getting a real strategic win that could keep them in the war a lot longer. Personally, I think they really need to close out Severodonetsk that way the DPR and LPR are free to make a steady push towards Dnipro which might cause them to abandon operations in the southeast.
Moreover it isn't even going to work with Russia.
I fucking love seeing color corrected pictures of China
I tend to think of the Russians as already being tech literate. There were a few of them in my computer engineering classes in college.
These people are deliberately gathering in front of police forces in the middle of Moscow. With camera crews and shit.
I've never played a game of Missile Command that didn't end with all my cities being destroyed.
I don't understand, will the winner be decided by how many innocent people can get themselves killed for propaganda purposes?
maybe, but a war between russia and USA wouldn't be fought with troops, it would be fought with nukes
Reminds me of a couple I once talked to who taught in China who were constantly ill because of the smog. China is not who should be holding all the cards, and yet here we are in clown world where sooner or later people are going to realize that is exactly where we are.
It’s very off topic but good lord I fucking hate those places and the “prosperity gospel” brand of preaching they practice. I swear to god if I have to interact with one more fucking brainwashed hick who is interested in talking to me about Dave Ramsay or Joel Osteen I’m gonna shit a brick.
The same thing happens in the US with progressives and "christians" and in Europe with NGOs amd their supporters.
If we assume that ww3 will be in Europe, even with technological supremacy the issue of supply chain logistics exists. Fighting ruskies on their own soil is a challenge on its own.View attachment 3069643
