The biggest issue I have isn't that they're evil. Though obviously that's a huge issue, but that they are woefully incompetent. We've seen this type of evil before in the USA. Richard Nixon is obviously well known to be a greedy goon. But he did it in a way people didn't really see it until after he was impeached. Trump is way too obvious for his own good. Though, maybe that's a good thing... Burn it down asap

Going to make money off it. Once he flip flops on the tariffs, he's going to make a shit ton of money in the market. But good news, all his corrupt billionaire friends will too, at the expense of the common man who voted for him. But don't worry, he'll spin it as a victory and the foaming at the mouth followers will eat it up like candy. /s About it being good, not the actual events.

He's been doing it for decades now. Hell here's an article from 2023.

I knew he was a Chinese agent. America has already lost. I just wonder what China will do with the keys to the world now that America has literally just gave it to them without a fight.

Oh god, what an allegory to the current state of USA. You have the symbol of America performing to an empty theater having upset everyone in the audience except for 2 people/countries. It's coming collapse wasn't a big deal because everyone had already left the theaters. It does seem to be somewhat predictive of the future.

Yup, that's what the Chinese are saying when they say it's dry. You gotta have seasoning. That 5 spice I was talking about, that's actually different from place to place. Each one representing the flavors that the chef wanted. It's actually the same in India. Curry powder is not a real thing. Each area and household has their own spice mix.

For me personally, while I agree with you that you should make your own, I tend to just use Cajun seasoning. Dunno, it's cheap and readily available. But you keep doing you. Personal spice blends is absolutely the way to go.

Well we can only speculate, which is why I said IF I WERE TO SPECULATE. However, Algeria also vetoed, a primarily Muslim nation and Washington is calling them out as representing Arab nations.

So there is evidence towards but I'm not seeing anything definitive. But again, that's the definition of speculation.

I agree. I just get really angry when people hide uncomfortable facts because they're "our team". Uncritically supporting anyone is what leads to things like the current Gaza genocide. Yes, Jewish people massively suffered historically and in the recent attack, no that does not justify non-discriminatory bombing of civilians.

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.

I said they wanted status quo. Which we do. You people keep telling us it's about independence. It's not.

The funny thing is that people think China would disagree with that map, yet that map is exactly what China claims. In fact, Taiwan claims far more than that map, so the only source of disagreement technically would be on the naming. However, China, or Sino wouldn't actually care. You think China is the name they gave themselves or even use or say that term? That was a Western nomenclature put upon them in the first place.

China's largest gas company is called sinopec, not chinapec. So that weird name change is meaningless to them. If that made the west happy so they could take over Taiwan, they'd do it in a heartbeat.

Pfft the democrats are in on it. Just look at Pelosi getting away with insider trading. They're all in on it together, there aren't republicans and democrats there's the corrupt government taking our money.

Don't forget Clinton and Trump both liked visiting Epstein's island.

That's not what I said at all. I'm not even sure what you're on about.
