  • Most of China’s smuggling is through middle eastern countries. Which USA signed deals to give them more than they need. Which was already flagged as a problem, and promptly ignored by Trump’s administration. But we are going to restrict Thailand and Malaysia? Both of which do not really buy AI chips to begin with. Why? And if USA is going to do this, why not ban Singapore. A nation that was caught smuggling chips to China several times? Someone make it make sense





  • I don’t understand how people can be so ignorant. It’s not just about Iran’s losses, if the other side is degraded just as much, that’s a victory for Iran. Israel’s iron dome was degraded enough that at the end they only had 65% effectiveness. This allowed Iranian missiles to strike hospitals, their cheap drones were able to penetrate. In fact, it was Iran who launched the last volley to which Israel initially said they would retaliate but then backed off. Israel isn’t even reporting casualty rates anymore because the numbers are too high. Do you really think those strikes happened because Iran was using expensive hypersonic missiles that they were never known to have had?

    Everyone knows on paper Iran’s military is older and weaker. And still they fought their way into a ceasefire in which they got to have the last volley.

    Here’s something horrifying, we already have, your just not in the right class of people. We are the leftovers. The ones living Plato’s dream already exists. Just look at Elon with his hundred children and tell me that’s not his existence already. The issue is for him to exist, the rest of us must suffer. That’s the problem, we are the sacrifice. So fuck it, I want the vampire mommy to make me a pet. Sex, no sex, still better than living through Plato’s nightmare.

    You know what, fuck it, I would love to be their pet. I’m not even talking in a sexual manner. Think about how we humans treat pets. I don’t like working and suffering through life. Why would I not want an ancient creature to take care of all my needs while I sloth around and do nothing. God, ancient creatures, take me as your beloved pet!



  • This is the problems with western thinking. Everything has to do with the west. Everything China does apparently is because of the west, or in this case USA. This has nothing to do with the west or USA. It also doesn’t really have all that much to do with humanity either. As many have noted, China cares about China. Since they care about China, it’s in their best interest to fund something like the WHO in order to prevent diseases spreading as that can obviously effect China. Diseases don’t care about borders.

    It’s the same reason China cares about green tech. Sure it helps humanity, but it’s mostly to save China for the future Chinese. If the side effect is the world gets cleaner, all the better. Of course the west twists it as China is developing green tech to have a monopoly on green tech. Hey, if you can do better, do it. Otherwise you’re literally burning down the world because China does it better.


  • Your either intentionally missing the point or really do not understand what I am saying. This isn’t political, or economical for China. It’s not about trade or power. It’s simply China keeping it’s promise that it cannot make any unilateral decisions unless China is directly involved.

    So your options are either China stays neutral or China takes a stand on a conflict they are not a party to, which literally makes them follow in the footsteps of USA.








  • Actually it’s not for China. That was China’s promise to the world. No matter what happens as long as you don’t block trade from me China will trade with you. They even do this with Taiwan, and believe me, China always keeps it’s word.

    There are countries accused of all sorts of things, yet China will never stop trading. Russia, Iran, North Korea, Belarus, Serbia, Egypt, I could go on. What does this say to BRICS nations if China picked a side. They’re trapped by their own promise. But it’s one that keeps them consistent regardless of how the world turns.
