Stretch before you reach, friend. Giving a country a massive amount of weapons to defend its own borders is far from imperialism.

I think contextually that’s a little bit different. Austria has some material that could be, without much effort, tied to supporting nazism banned.

Literally not. Most of the worlds semiconductor manufacturing happens in Taiwan and you need semiconductors for damn near anything electronic these days. China knows that and won’t risk it. Not to mention the economic hell that going to war with the US would cause.

And everyone said the real estate market was untenable! Who knew you just had to get virtual real estate!?

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.

I think a paper tiger is even giving them too much credit at this point.

I would disagree, and cite that a BUNCH of the worlds oldest poetry and art all comes from Eastern civilizations. We are herd animals by instinct, but self expression as a default setting has to be stamped out through long term systemic violence.

Imagine the beauty of being part of something so wonderful and huge beyond the individual! Everyone from HK could have the pleasure of participating in the mass genocide of Chinese minority groups or forced relocation to work camps!

Bold of you to assume I’m big enough to stretch my underwear

A government that bans a song is definitely the good guys, right? …right guys?

While I do think racism has a strong root in politics and politically suppressing the “other”, I think the purpose of this community is more news oriented and less intellectual than that. Is this story tied to politics? Sure. Is it strictly political in nature? Not really.

So par for the course for the US right. Bunch of fascist shitheels.

Maybe you’re too stupid to understand, but just because you don’t have to make another account to participate in different instances doesn’t mean anyone cares about your despot-worshiping bullshit outside of your home instance.

How is saying that close military allies are supporting each other ‘AmErIcAn ExCePtIoNaLiSm’?

Fuck off back to lemmygrad.

Fair enough. I’m curious how much of this equipment is more shitty outdated weaponry cloned from Russian weapons.

Was this not a given? I remember something about weird Chinese military Supply train routes in the early months of the war

You’re probably right. And it’s not like any of them will ever vote for term limits. Our political system is a joke.

If 67 is the age of retirement in this country, then every single politician should be leading by example and retiring by then. I’m so sick of these geriatrics effectively ordering an entire lobster before they leave the restaurant and stick the younger folks with the bill.

What an absolutely banger of a TNG reference my friend!
