I think the tittle means good = logicaly coherent, not good = moraly/rethoricaly good for us. I think you know this and/or could have understood this from the context.
In other words, it's safe to assume that every major Taiwanese defense plan, every diplomatic initiative, every presidential movement, and every strategic assessment has been an open book to Beijing for the better part of a decade.
It also results in destroying the trust of Taiwan’s partners: seeing this as an American, you can only conclude that you must operate under the assumption that any exchange of classified materials, operational details, or strategic assessments with the government in Taiwan will be on Xi Jinping's desk before the meeting ends. It effectively neutralizes any meaningful defense cooperation.
Sure believe that, assume its true then what is the logical conclusion then? That when Pelosi decided to almost start a war, that in fact the Chinese had all this great amazing Intelligence^tm^ on Taiwan's defenses and yet still not only were they caught unprepared for such escalation but deemed not worth to use it which they later decided to appease themselves with dick waving their fleet manacingly around the island saying "one day! just you wait one day!"
So much for winning? If you're not actualy going to stand up to fight anything what is this use for? Yes you see I have amazing greatly detailed classified intel on Taiwan's defenses and military cooperation with the US, it just so happens this shit will sit on a desk drawer somewhere never to be used for anything because US/China relations need to improve at all costs.
All this does is to add more confirmation that Chinese military superiority over Taiwan is even more assured than we thought yet reunification doesn't happen because of political and economic reasons. I do not know who would be happy hearing this other than western loving Chinese libs, yes more wins without fighting for sure lol.
Good promise as always but I'll wait and see if they're actualy going to do anything to meaningfully change the PC and mobile market, try to move that in a good and different direction instead of just making AI slop chips, shoving it down their own throats and claiming that as a victory.
A sign of the times, if anything since the time this meme was born the green area just got bigger... sigh. All it takes is real stakes at the table.
Still missing the 400 Chinese military bases in Canada/Mexico/LA/SA, you know, for self defense and ensuring Freedom and Democracy^tm^ of the great Chinese people obviously, you know just in case.
I liked BSG reboot for being good sci-fi slop back in the day and Ron D Moore's pedigree showed etc its still a very good show at least for the first few seasons, specialy the pilot.
But that quote is peak liberalism though, the show is speaking to liberals that believe this myth of police as a social service and not exactly as he describes, a force to fight the enemies of the capitalist state. The only difference is merely external vs internal forces. Never mind the police budget worth more than most of the world's military to begin with etc.
We saw the whole defund the police cycle and how that turned out among libs, they don't realy believe this shit in the real world anymore, heck the show is already 20 years out of date on that alone.
As much as there is a whole theory of the function and form of the police under a socialist state, I'm not giving that benefit of doubt they are not talking about this.
Telesur Aleida Guevara expresó preocupación por reciente actitud de Lula hacia Venezuela
On Trump and Brazil vs Venezuela
What about the change of government in the United States, with the Democrats leaving and the Republicans returning to power? Will anything change for Cubans?
We say it's the same dog with a different leash. The thing is, this man [Donald Trump] is crazy. We don't know what he can do. Maybe he'll come out saying that, since he's a businessman, he wants to do business with Cuba, but who knows? Because that's how this man is – he's unpredictable. But in any case, it's a danger, a serious danger, not only for Cuba, but for humanity, since that country [the United States] has destructive power and now that power will be in the hands of a man who doesn't think, which can be very dangerous.
Brazil's position after the presidential elections in Venezuela has been questioned by popular movements here in Brazil and in Latin America, because it questions the security of the electoral process. How do you assess this position?
It only benefits the enemy. It makes me very sad. I'm really ashamed that Lula has fallen into this situation. Firstly, because he has just acknowledged that he doesn't even have the right to express an opinion on another country's problems, because he wouldn't want us, or any other country in the world, to express an opinion on Brazil. So, if you don't like a behavior, how can you do that to someone else? It's a basic principle of coexistence – pure and simple. They may have their own criteria and way of seeing the world, which must be respected. I don't have anything to say about that. However, you have to respect them. You have to learn to respect your neighbors, even if you don't like them. For example, we [Cubans] want to have relations with the United States, even though we have nothing to do with their government. We can make an effort and show solidarity. Respect other countries, as long as they respect us, because that's a mutual principle. If you want respect, you have to learn to respect. It's as simple as that.
That's why it hurts so much. Brazil's position regarding BRICS also hurts, because the country refuses to allow Venezuela to join the group. This is unprecedented. Brazil is simply playing into the hands of the United States of America, the enemy of all our peoples. Lula isn’t an ordinary president; he is a president who comes from grassroots movements, someone who comes from trade union struggles. So, Lula has to know what he's doing. This is very painful for us, I mean it. It hurts us deeply and Lula's attitude towards Venezuela disappointed us.
Hey Ukraine how is the war going?
Very well apparently so we got time for a little vacation, as a treat of course.
Still not as embarrassing as admitting the Minsk agreements were all just to buy time for Ukraine.
The original narratives about Ukraine no longer matter, the only thing left in the collective consciousness is Ukraine is a democracy therefore the war is about "western values". The good thing is since then even a good part liberals don't care about that anymore, its impossible to manufacture a narrative that Ukraine is winning right now, at best they "resisting" evil Putler and Zelensky does nothing but beg for more aid.
That sub used to be part of the "reddit left" with a decent overlap with latestagecapitalism etc. Bernie era used to be a good time to "educate" people there about socialism, even if just pointing out that collapse is capitalism's fault.
But given the massive overlapping userbase a lot of those old users moved on, as you know the reddit "left" is a shadow now(thats being generous), so this is just another example of the overall trend of the site. Every criticism of capitalism/US is "political" therefore confined within blue vs red MAGA now.
You joke but China has been happily playing both sides for years. You can be sure the Saudis used this to destroy these Iranian drones if the reports are true.
