Obviously, there is nothing to celebrate about a far-right leader vowing to make the lives of everyday Germans worse, and to treat Arab refugees like Undesirables. But Germany being such a core component of the EU, them leaving would be a blow to US consolidation and use of them and the greater EU as vassals, no?

I find it particularly amazing that I have seen absolutely zero of this anywhere else. 400k and not a peep. "Won't be televised" indeed. I feel like the censorship has really gotten more grotesque the last 5 years.

I guess a better question would be "how many civilians has China killed in warfare compared to the US since the 1940s"

We would be talking tens of thousands versus tens of millions

When the US, shall we say "encourages" other countries to "cooperate" on an "international project," it is uses threats, sanctions, coups, corruption, and outright deadly force. Even its wicked henchmen in the EU didn't have the stomach for the war in Ukraine, several countries dragged their feet chipping in arms knowing full well it was they who would suffer the most for the US's choices. US has to twist their arms and pull a "We're done, when I say we're done" to get their "allies" to back yet another project of death, destruction, and looting.

What has China done in the South China Sea? Menacingly sailed their own ships in their own front yard? Why is this so "menacing"? Oh yeah, because the US has completely encircled them with military bases, and is trying to paint a picture that makes aggressive military action against China somehow look defensive. If you knew anything about China that wasn't from the mouth of the biggest liar in world history, you would know China has wanted nothing but to resume diplomatic and peaceful integration of Taiwan, something that was popular and ongoing before most of us were in diapers. US, playing from their usual playbook, pours money and weapons into divide-and-conquer using disinformation and fascist empowerment.

Learn more about geopolitics outside of the US's distorted bubble, you will find that US starts and fuels fires, and China out of all others is the one that puts them out, hence they have earned seething hatred from the biggest snake, bully, and bandit in human history.

Accessing copper is far from a primary goal of the BRI. Even if it was a goal--which sure China has their own interests in the BRI, who wouldn't--the selling point of the BRI that should be of interest to you is that vulnerable, undeveloped countries that have had no choice but being victims to Western imperialism for centuries are now getting an affordable way to develop without political stipulations or debt traps.

What China spends on their military, bottom line, is significantly less than what the US spends, not to mention all of the US's vassals combined. When we look at the numbers per capita, China spends a tiny fraction of what the US spends.

Hello hexbear. Thanks for all the info.

I hate that center-left anti-war rhetoric here always conveniently forgets the MILLIONS of civilians we have killed, instead focusing on the relatively measly tens of thousands of brave, brave American soldiers dying.

He was a very potent and necessary part of the radicalization pipeline. I know he kickstarted my radicalization in 2016. But we will have to drag the libs kicking and screaming past him.

All the West does is project...here we see the "human wave tactics" they accused the Soviets of nearly a century ago...
