Those places entered into China while agreeing to those restrictions. That’s different than the US allowing foreign investment then rugpulling it and stealing the Chinese owned portion of a business after the fact.

In order to retaliate, China needs to seize or steal American capital.

don't forget abandoning covid guidelines and caving to the rightwing's policies and stiffing us on our promised stimulus checks and debt forgiveness.

Oh yeah, and betraying the BLM bloc you just coopted by saying "defund the police is a rightwing idea"

Good. China should also retaliate and start forcing American companies in China to hand over ownership

According to Yemeni sources, behind closed doors the US has offered Ansarallah everything they could possibly ask for if they drop the embargo and stop supporting Gaza/attacking Israel.

“The sources further reveal that the Americans pledged to immediately release withheld Yemeni public sector salaries from the National Saudi Bank, lift the country’s siege entirely, reopen Sanaa Airport, ease restrictions on the port of Hodeidah, and facilitate a comprehensive prisoner exchange agreement with all involved parties.” They also offered to recognize Ansarallah as the legitimate government of Yemen and to remove Ansarallah from the US terrorist list.

That’s how much the Biden government wants this genocide to happen, they’re willing to give up all of their imperialist ambitions and investments of the last decade against Yemen. They could have done all of the things above at any time, but they don’t, they hold it back as leverage. This is how US does its foreign policy, they sanction nations and hold their economies hostage and then make them bargain and haggle back to neutrality by giving up all of their sovereignty.

They do the same shit with Iran, sanctioning them into the ground so that Obama and the EU can do an “Iran deal” where Iran gives up a bunch of concessions in exchange for the US to end its sanctions. Basically, the US never has to give up anything they just hold everyone at gunpoint as their leverage

all the news articles articles aren't admitting that he was protesting the genocide in gaza.

One I read quickly mentioned him then pivoted to talking about environmentalist protesters who have self immolated in the past for over half the article. Others mention no motive at all and are just a couple sentences. One said "it's unclear if this is related to Israel's military action in Gaza".

Goddamn I hate "journalists". Lying hacks who take clear and easy to understand events and twist them into nothingness

80 tomahawk cruise missiles were used in the raid on Yemen yesterday. That’s an entire year of western production blown to kill 5 militants. America can not do this, they don’t have the juice

Recognize the role of the US empire in Palestinian oppression. Recognize that jews are in an ambivalent racial category and are an oppressed people. Be specific when criticizing Israeli colonialism. Name who you're criticizing, is it the settlements? The IDF? Likud? The US military Industrial Complex? Stop calling for ethnic cleansing of jews if you've been doing that. Don't equate jewishness with whiteness / the Nazis. White people are white people, the US is the Nazis.

Why isn't "Israel" on your list of OK to criticize groups? The colonialist state of Israel needs to be destroyed and wiped off the face of the earth, and this is not anti-semitic to say. I've not seen one person on this site blaming all jews for anything. Can you provide even a single example of this that wasn't quickly removed by mods? Stop vague posting and concern trolling if you don't have an explicit example, now is not the time to center the attention on yourself.

Anybody else notice how the western media and governments are working overdrive to frame the attack as purely terrorist against civilians and not even mentioning the military aspect whatsoever? They don’t talk about the IDF bases that were destroyed or the checkpoints. Apparently every death is just some random “innocent” woman
