Russia is still ramping up military production on a wartime economy, to be used after the Ukrainians stop fighting back. Also their production focuses on their modern options for land and air. I don’t know what their naval production is doing.
Your English was on point, and any outdoorsie types understood you. This is just one of those things that is called different names in different regions.
Upvoted… But I am stuck at 36/miryoku and can’t go less.
They want the Baltics, Ukraine, Poland, Romania, Bulgaria, all to be like Hungary, or preferably like Belarus - slave/puppet authoritarian regimes. Finland too, really, but I think that the Finns scare them.
Sinophobia and russophobia are terms that refer to ethnic racism, heavy leveraged by tankies to position political disagreement as racist. In these cases I don’t think that the fear was a ethnic based, but rather capitalist or nationalist.
The fear is still unjustified. It’s like thinking that you can trust Amazon more than Ali, or Google more than Xiaomi.
There is plenty of racism against Chinese/Asian people, which is a different level of vile.

If there is meant to be capitalist competition then the competitors should not be massively funded by the government. China massively funds their electric car industry, principally because they own them.
That said, US carmakers get Government bailouts all the time.
Americans are fucked. Political disagreement to be classified as a mental disorder? Y’all skipped the Hungary and Russia steps, and went straight to NK.
This. The narcissistic crisis of a man his age is all consuming. He doesn’t care about the external as long as he can play a game with it that he can use to maintain his internal. Anybody who knows this game can play him.
Approval ratings only impact elections
Google kind of went downhill
Spumoni. They even make that anymore. Probably only in the Mediterranean area.
Eliminating elections would not harm dictators. Elections, like all democratic institutions need to be maintained and supported to maintain a democracy.
