I bet we’ll have a repeat of this

exactly what I’m expecting

The US lost more jets in the past month fighting Yemen than Russia has fighting a high intensity conflict in Ukraine.

ok yeah totally agree

Yeah that’s the triumph of the will part, they think if they just wish for something hard enough it’ll happen. I guess the modern term for this is manifesting. :)

I find I like mind over matter because it gets to the core of the difference in philosophy between idealists and materialists.

Europeans really bought into the whole mind over matter thing I guess. 🤣

I’m hoping that people running India are aware enough to realize that they’re not gonna be better off in case of a nuclear holocaust.

They do, but as far as I know that dispute is not related to the one between India and Pakistan.

I mean Pakistan is a crucial part of the BRI, and India is in BRICS. A war between India and Pakistan would be a crippling blow to the alternate economic system that’s developing outside the US right now. If this goes nuclear, then Eurasia will be most affected.

I’m guessing that’s gonna come sooner than later. The EU needs China economically, and with the US tightening the screws they will have little choice but to play nice.

Yeah it’s not exhaustive by any means. Also, arguably the economic system itself kills even more people than imperialist wars by denying stuff like healthcare, food, and so on.

international law has always been might makes right

A FAFO moment for Burgerland

lol oops botched the title

I guess Burgerland audience might get confused otherwise

Exactly, and it only gets worse from here on out because once Chinese companies redirect trade away from US, then there’s little incentive to go back to dealing with the idiocy there. So, even once they sober up and realize they need Chinese goods, I don’t expect they’ll get them in the same volumes. Chinese economy is already rapidly adjusting to the tariffs https://archive.ph/EAI45

That’s where I’m leaning as well, cause you have to be a complete imbecile to believe what he’s saying.

You have to wonder whether he is genuinely oblivious or simply aware of how dire the US situation is and deliberately misrepresenting it. In every interview I’ve seen with him over the past few weeks, he appeared visibly anxious, stammering and deflecting questions with little conviction. It is clear that producers can more easily identify new consumer markets than consumers can replace goods they rely on and cannot produce independently. China’s domestic economy is expanding, and BRICS as a collective is growing economically as well. There is plenty of increased consumption outside the US to ensure robust demand for Chinese exports going forward.
