- “Anwar: I rejected US call not to be friendly with Russia”. “I replied, ‘That’s your issue; don’t instruct us. We are an independent, sovereign country; we make decisions for our people and our nation’,” he said to Anthony Blinken.
- The shrinking violets aren’t coping with today’s intervention from former Australian PM Paul Keating. He makes 4 main claims: (1) Europe has been at war with itself on and off for most of the last 300 years. (2) NATO is part of this European heritage of conflict. … 🧵
- During the 1930s the U.S. was imperial Japan’s largest supplier of diesel, scrap metal, steel, iron, assorted commodities as well as finance, which aided in the aggression of the Japanese imperial army. US companies also profited with Nazi germany. Thank you for your attention.An all timer:
- On Dec 1, 2018 Meng Wenzhou was arrested by Canadian officials at the request of the United States. She’s the daughter of Huawei founder & is a senior company executive. The U.S. speaks of unprovoked escalation. Trump feigns surprise. The U.S. is never an innocent victim.
- Abide by Chinese laws and you can operate in China. Speaking of unbalanced, how is it that Tesla gets to operate in China but Chinese EVs aren’t in America? Oligarchs are all the same.I have been against a TikTok ban for a long time, because it goes against freedom of speech. That said, the current situation where TikTok is allowed to operate in America, but 𝕏 is not allowed to operate in China is unbalanced. Something needs to change.

- One has claimed that China’s collapsing for 24 years. The other claimed in 2011 China’s investment in EVs was evidence of waste. Peas in a pod, apparently.
- When U.S. dollar stablecoins, issued with U.S. Treasury bonds as reserve, are used to buy more bonds, which are then sequestered to enable another round of stablecoin issuance, and so on and on, we begin to see the apotheosis of abstracted decadence …
- The U.S. has run the same playbook for decades—war, military interventions, corporate welfare, rising social dysfunction, illegal sanctions … it’s time to revoke their Hegemon status.China has run the same playbook for decades—subsidies, unfair trade practices, and hollow promises. It’s time to revoke their “normal” trade status and impose strong tariffs on critical sectors. Free trade is for free nations, not the CCP.
00:00 - “U.S. needs to work with Europe to slow China's innovation rate, Raimondo says.” You know you’re beat when you’re best plan is to try to hobble the other guy. This is clear evidence of fundamental decay - in capacity and in belief.
