Was this not a given? I remember something about weird Chinese military Supply train routes in the early months of the war
Sure was, but now there is US document publically stating that. The weight someone wants to give it is up to them.
Fair enough. I’m curious how much of this equipment is more shitty outdated weaponry cloned from Russian weapons.
Yes but my moron friend from college is convinced that China isn’t helping Russia at all and that Ukraine is full of Nazis and the west is the real enemy
So no? It’s not a given unless you have a functioning brain
I guess “working frontal lobe” is a pretty high bar these days, you’re right. The 2 people who downvoted you seem to lack them, that’s for sure.
He probably believes socialism CAN work and ignores all the previous failed attempts.
No need to whataboutism.
There is a need when they have nothing else to say lol

Socialism can work, Cuba has better life expectancy and more rights for women and lgbtq people than the US. Vietnam, Laos, and China all are moving forward gradually toward complete worker ownership of the means of production. The dprk has survived a 70 year siege from the global hegemon after it destroyed all their infrastructure and killed 20 percent of its civilian population.
So many people defending socialism and communism. Thinking “we can make it work” and spouting off statistics that they read somewhere and not drawing the correlation of left wing and communism/socialism. 2 points to make here:
History is written by those who have hanged. This means the information that makes it out of the communist countries is curated to sound better than it is. The statistics are lies. The politicians are corrupt and will do anything to secure their power and will not stop at eliminating their opposition and vocal people. This is happening in the US. Recent US political news sounds vaguely familiar. Just like the history books in the US fails to delve into the REAL history of Republicans and Democrats and who did what. The left controls the education system and now we have a whole generation that believe the lies they have been told. Lies that are either blatant or through omission. All anybody has to do is real research and they will find the truth is not what they were taught. You can’t see the forest from the trees. The ones claiming that “we can make it work” and buying into the lies, can’t see the crap happening before their very eyes. They have been conditioned to believe that the good guys are winning. I am not here to take sides of right vs left. I am just saying what I see.
Oh okay you’re a conspiratorial CHUD, got it.
Anti-communist “leftists” and liberals take note that these are your allies.
“Dont believe statistics” lol, statistics lie, and they lie much less than whatever anecdotes and rhetoric they have you huffing.
When Russia was considered a super power, this would have been news. Now that they’re known as a paper tiger, this isn’t surprising.
I think a paper tiger is even giving them too much credit at this point.
