I know very little about crypto, but I know Russians are banned from operating on Gemini, Kraken, Bitstamp, Coinbase, Binance and other official exchanges, which is creating certain problems. Not insurmountable, but unpleasant.

Centralized exchanges are regulatable but not necessary to crypto in general. It's basically an on/off ramp to exchange fiat currency for crypto. Bitcoin was around for years before the first exchanges showed up and banning all exchanges wouldn't make bitcoin go away. It would just make converting it a little less convenient. If all else fails, we will go back to peer to peer trading.

I don't think China needs to invade anywhere. They are in the best position already. They can just gradually draw in Taiwan by buying up industry and donating to political campaigns. The same as they are doing in the US, Europe, Australia.

In fact it looks like it's Washington ramping things up militarily, because they don't like China is coercing their vassal states.

This would be the rational way to go forward for China. But then again I was wrong when I presumed Russia would stay rational, but the actions of the Chinese government has so far been less aggressive and using less destructive tools.

The Taiwanese nationalists have done a lot to disenfranchise the KMT and its supporters, 40% of Taiwan's population consider themselves to be Chinese, and Chinese only. China is using its private entities to buy a larger and larger stake in the Taiwanese economy, and if the government moves against them they have a massive fifth column already on the island.

Hopefully the Chinese fleet build up is to stop the US from interfering in a national dispute within Taiwan, rather than an invasion force. But it's difficult to say what will happen if China suffers a large economic recession or Xi gets dementia

the problem with low turnout elections like the Wisconsin Supreme Court election is that in this era, low turnout favors libtards because the white working class voters that Republicans must rely on in the Trump Era, stay home for elections like these (oftentimes they don't even think about it to the point where they find out it happened after it's over).

Whereas white college libs in the Trump Era have made voting a religious practice that their social media priests give good boy points for.

Not saying Protasiewicz is guaranteed a win today, but that's how it goes for low profile elections. Kelly can win if he runs it up in WOW and similar areas. This fat kid named Real American Politics is very knowledgeable on this race, give this vid a watch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9KURerXmW14

his twitter account is: https://twitter.com/RealPData/with_replies (he has been frequently talking about this race)

just like the votes in smaller towns went both towards Trump and approving school tax raises (which NPC pundits were confused about because liking Trump=evil), i don't think his assessments of what's happening in small town Wisconsin is entirely accurate. abortion to save the life of the mother is still available in WI, so the most important option is still available, but that doesn't stop the reports of hospitals shipping pregnant women off to Chicago and Minnesota "just in case"

women, even small town rural women, don't like turning to the news and seeing Wisconsin on the list of ABORTION BANNED FREAK OUT maps (like the below from NYT)

the republicans got caught with their pants down and completely refused to adapt to the abortion issue. they've allowed left wing propaganda machines like the NYT churn out articles about abortion being "banned", even though no state in the US seems to ban abortions in case of the mother's life (the #1 issue that women are worried about) according to their own site

RealPData is hand waving the reports saying voters saying abortion is their #1 issue but i've passed through the area recently and sure seen a lot of Protasiewicz signs in places i wouldn't normally expect to

The problem is China is trying to lay some defenses in it's immediate area, and the US and international bodies consider that illegal. But when they are trying to tell you China is a threat on TV, they bring up the map. And you just laugh.

Australia is pretty much a Chinese colony by now anyway. And yeah it gets really hard to take complaints about CCP military bases seriously when the USA has so many more bases around the planet. It just kills any optics.

Australia takes money from both sides. The largest Dairy supplier in Australia is now a Chinese subsidiary, Australia already had the largest Chinese population in the southern hemisphere. But at the same time. The US has just made a deal with Australia for Nuclear Powered subs.

The former Australian Prime Minister came out and said it makes no sense to spend hundreds of billions on nuclear subs for Australia, unless the plan is in the future to use the subs in a joint attack with the US to blockade the Chinese coastline.

John Glubb proven right yet again. Shame we couldn't make it to the 250 year average. I'd keep an eye on BRICS on the world stage, particularly China and India.

I do agree that the world focus will shift over to Asia for the next few centuries. Just the mere fact that 3 out of 5 people are either Chinks or Street Shitters kinda makes that inevitable.

Which is a shame really, Asia has little regard for freedom, rights or individuality in general and authoritarian government is the state du jour.

Western values offered the average Joe a chance to live his life his way but of course thats not what the elites want, nor the ivory tower types. They know whats best after all so poor Joe needs to accepts the fact that he's going to do what he's told or bad things will happen.

Now the Chinks and the Pajeets are 100% used to getting stepped on. They've lived with the caste system for thousands of years and the average Mujindi or Chun Yun would never dare even to dreaming of controlling his own fate. The thought just wouldn't occur to him as they've lived under the boot for so long that that's just the way life is and has always been

Western values gave the world a taste of freedom and independence but I think we all knew it wasn't going to last forever. Neo-Feudalism is the name of the new game. Same elites, same game but new names.

I'm just grateful I got to live during the golden age of the West. Life was good and the world was my oyster.

But nothing gold can stay.

I feel like they're gonna try and charge Trump with 1000 years behind bars and keep him alive for that long. The latter is pretty insane, but Trump is their Emanuel Goldstein.
