Oh yeah they're a node in the Fourth Reich network of entities and have been for their whole existence, but they also get away with things other proxies wouldn't - like stealing the knowledge of how to build nukes, for example

Yeah and I think when he wrote that it was true. Not that it's not true today, it definitely is, only that the devotion to israel goes far beyond what one would expect an empire to have for a client state

I've seen people make WILD claims about Ukrainian history but I live in Banderanada

How do these people find the time to maintain so many lists, that's deranged

"Israel is just a US proxy" fails to explain why americans don't talk about Ukraine, Egypt, or any of their other proxies this way

There's a deer that comes at night and ravages my vegetable garden and if I depended on it for food I'd be lying on the long grass all night with a rifle waiting

Remember when people were denying that there's an israel lobby with powerful influence

It was even antisemitic to say so

There were restrictions and China did and does substantially control the supply, but you're right that the unsubtle warmongering of the trump regime probably led China's leadership to draw some conclusions

US Navy is already talking about how they probably couldn't win a war in the South China Sea. If they can't win at sea there's no way to land an invading army on the mainland, so if China expands its regional naval strength they'll be essentially untouchable.

The ideological game is a ruse. The belligerence is not a ruse - the US views its economic dependence on China as a vulnerability they were able to tolerate only so long as China wasn't going to overtake them. I think in the next decade at least we're going to see serious moves against China

Watch China's rise accelerate in the next few years simply by being a sane and rational place to invest and do business while americans degenerate to the level of apes developing stone tools

There are few things I'm not with China on

Love to hand off my personal info to the ironclad security professionals running an apprenticeship program. No way that shit will get leaked and used for 20 years to commit fraud in my name

If anything human survives the next ten years it will be religiously against slop

I think imperial powers have figured out that the window for a winnable war with China is rapidly closing or has already closed. On the one hand they threaten China with belligerent actions and on the other they whine that China isn't being fair. The walls are closing in

It's such a huge fraud risk if nothing else

Reading to my daughter is a blast, even if it's the same book six times in a row. What am I going to replace that time with, posting?

American diplomacy is just a bunch of red-faced business school psychos demanding you make it easier for them to kill you. Hard to see why China would refuse!

So one of the major issues in the US-China trade negotiations is the US demanding that China open up access to minerals and China refusing, probably because China correctly sees it as a limiting factor on the US military that the US said over and over again they're going to use on China imminently

They're not my problem for sure

I'm so sorry man. Lord haved mercy

Is it good that the engine of prosperity is choking to death and the investors are making wild profits based on the ramblings of a chiliastic elite religious cult? YES

I need to read Gibson

Stock market today: Dow, S&P 500, Nasdaq climb in bounce back from Friday sell-off US stock futures were little changed following a week of sharp declines.

The stock climb is entirely based on delusion and hype. It's an entirely invented reality. No reason is given for why stocks are climbing back up while the real economy buckles and rots, it just is because of vibes and the wild and utterly hallucinatory promise of productivity gains with AI

If "I asked my landlord to increase my rent because I believe so much in my hustle" was real

We didn't need them for that before 1948. I mean when was the last time they did us a solid

Christian zionists are controlling the israeli government. Awe-inspiring

I love having theories

What do we get out of them anyway?

What a convenient event!
