The author is pro-Russian, yes.
Well it depends whose globe i look at doesn't it? One side says one thing the other says another.
The point i was making is that most of the lines on the map that we call borders are really arbitrary and the arguments why they should be one way and not the other depend on your point of view. And the border between India and China is especially dubious in legitimacy because it was drawn by the British, and at a time when one of these two countries didn't even exist/was a colony and the other was too weak to defend its sovereign interests and territory.
And i don't understand the point you're making about rivers.
What's good for the goose is good for the gander.
Now it's undeniable for liberals
You underestimate liberals' capacity for denial. Nothing is "undeniable" for them.
Is it possible we're just being outcompeted
The answer appears to be a resounding yes, even according to western reporters:
"I Went To China And Drove A Dozen Electric Cars. Western Automakers Are Cooked"
Except that Hamas is still functioning. Don't fall for the defeatist propaganda. If they weren't still a threat the Zionist genociders wouldn't need to constantly pull out and reconstitute their units. Their bombs can kill a lot of civilians and destroy a lot of homes and hospitals, but they cannot break the resistance.
Without the ruthlessness of Biden, Trump could never get it off the ground in a million years.
This. If Republicans tried to do it the opposition from the population would be too much. It takes a Democrat administration to get the masses to consent to fascism. Democrats are experts at demobilizing popular resistance movements.
It's a disappointing result and the KPRF needs to do some serious thinking about how to stand out more as a real alternative to United Russia, because it is clear they have underperformed compared to previous elections. However i also think that this is an exceptional election what with the war situation and once things calm down a little and there is no longer a feeling of needing to unite against an external threat some of their voter base which temporarily went over to UR will come back. Still, they have a lot of work ahead of them if they are serious about building up a mass working class organization again.
Utterly disgusting and completely absurd that they expect us to believe this crock of shit. Imagine helping cover up the murder of a child by claiming they committed suicide, you really can't sink any lower... Only one cure for this depravity: 🧱.
Anyone who votes for any member of either party in the US (or of any party in Europe that has not unequivocally sided with Palestine and denounced the criminal Zionist regime) is not just racist and chauvinist but pro-genocide. And yes this includes even those few Democrats who have nominally spoken out against the genocide, because despite their statements they still choose to be associated with and support a party that is pro-genocide, thus they are complicit in aiding and abetting in war crimes and crimes against humanity.
It's only free if you don't consider the fact that the rest of the world pays for it. The US can create money out of thin air without negative consequences to themselves, but only because they offload those consequences onto everyone who uses the dollar as reserve currency and settlement of international trade.
This will no longer be possible to do once that global financial hegemony is eroded. Then the US will finally have to pay for its own lunch.
They also started teaching war tactics from NATO training manuals to children in Ukrainian schools. They are indoctrinating an entire generation to become cannon fodder for NATO.
