I wish it was that. No, this is actual evil, not incompetence. Trump has turned the US economy into the largest pump and dump scheme ever. Worse, he's bragging about how his friends made billions. I can't even believe this is happening. I'm in utter shock. I knew Trump would be bad, but straight up flaunting corruption like it's a joke and even bringing the SCOTUS on board with this. I'm just gob smacked.

That's not entirely correct. Because man made diamonds have a perfect cuboid structure that rarely occurs in nature, a diamond at the sizes man made diamonds are can be detected. Essentially they're too perfect at a molecular level. So there are labs that can determine the difference. Though, saying the difference is because man made is better isn't a great selling point.

If that happens good? Why do we think having countries and borders that creates strife a good thing? If we eliminate all borders and are just humanity I see that as an absolute win.

It's because they were never that effective before. But with the advent of drones, they have suddenly become a wildly important protection. This is cause the drones can get stuck in those slat gaps. No other weapon before had this kind of weakness. They were all basically just ballistics before drones.

Actually, both China and the Philippines have an agreement to allow both sides to fish there. And China has even stated regret that at one point their blockade impeded Philippine fishing boats. Additionally, there was no evidence of the Philippine claim that there was cyanide being used, though there is evidence that historically the Philippines themselves have done that.

It's a lot more complicated than most people understand.

Well Orban seems 100% on Putin's side regardless. I guess I don't know enough about Germany to know if that's something their far right wants, but wouldn't surprise me. And I suppose that all makes more sense since the far right in USA is clearly on his side already.

Here's citibank telling their investors about it.

It's been going on for a while, the article is from 2020.

My personal opinion is this move is highly risky, but could produce massive rewards. We're in the third year of this and China still suffers from deflation from lack of internal demand matching former exports.

But China seems dead set on this regardless of risks. This is why there are so many China collapsing articles. The actions to do this aren't great for the economy on a global term, but in the long run may make China more durable. Who knows, this is so different than what everyone is doing it's kind of uncharted.

Psst, here's a secret, it wasn't important. The western media made it seem way more important than it was. If it was so important and war could have actually happened, then it would have already.

They're already doing that. That's why the spending bill is being rolled up into one. That way they can say they're voting for it to stop the Russian genocide and so what if it does a little genocide in the Middle East.

Sadly, your joke is just reality

Right, I knew 2 died, I got them mixed up a tiny bit. Below I have provided sources.

Ten Chinese air force aircraft entered Taiwan’s air defence zone . . . Of those aircraft, the ministry said 10 had either crossed the median line of the Taiwan Strait, which previously served as an unofficial barrier between the two sides, or entered the southwestern part of Taiwan’s air defence identification zone, or ADIZ.

This is what the original post quoted. Flying over international air space is NOT news worthy. Unless China does it, suddenly it's news. And yes, in case you don't understand, the median line IS international air space. In fact, that's USA's whole point of freedom of navigation is that anyone can fly or sail over that median line.

So if your argument that countries shouldn't freely fly or sail over the Taiwan Strait, you agree with China, NOT Taiwan.

Ah yes, the country with the 3rd largest stock exchange is clearly much smaller than other countries.
