Against all odds, the socdems beat the liberals and reduced a surging far-right to an embarrassing third place. French fascists are stomping on their berets and cartoonishly snapping baguettes in half.

    Gov. DeSantis signs bill requiring teaching of history of communism in Florida schools
  • Even in a very liberal university, whenever (outside of very niche courses) mentioned communism it was always the most insane propaganda. I can only imagine what madness they’ll teach in Florida. Hopefully it’ll backfire like D.A.R.E. but let’s see.

    Vietnam aims to start work on high-speed rail lines to China by 2030
  • China has one enormous weakness it can not yet be bold in the ways Russia is. Oil/Petrol.

    The PRC is not oil-rich in the same way Russia and the US are, so they import most of their oil via tankers from West Asia/North Africa (commonly known as the Middle East) and there are two potential chokepoints, the Straight of Hormuz in Djibouti (probably RIGHT NOW the biggest weak point, so much that both China and the US have military bases there that are practically in front of each other) and the South China Sea, which contains a bunch of faithful bootlicking nations such as Singapore and Australia.

    China is working on several pipeline projects, but I am certain that the US is doing everything possible to stop it.

    Vietnam aims to start work on high-speed rail lines to China by 2030
  • I have bros who are reds in Venezuela, and they keep complaining that the government won't take the step from non-Imperial Core "Marea Rosada" socdem into actual socialism because they're terrified of being invaded and wrecked, Cuba is great but the material reality is that they simply do not have the funds to truly protect anyone but themselves. Vietnam is geographically blessed that they can have the space to get back onto the road of socialism after their stumbling in 1994 and 2001 having to "restructure their economy" (give in to liberalism) due to taking out loans with the IMF. Their future seems bright if they can forge a particularly strong relationship with the PRC. I'm sure they can crush the Yankee war machine a second time, but I understand 1000% why they're traumatized.

    [NOT A JOKE] Israeli war cabinet minister Benny Gantz said that Hamas fighters "are eliminated or in hiding" declares Hamas defeated, but sees years of fighting ahead
  • The US had the same cope in Afghanistan, every other week it would seem they killed a high-profile leader, and it never fucking mattered. Because a "terrorist" is just someone pissed off enough to use violence, you can't squash them like that.

    [NOT A JOKE] Israeli war cabinet minister Benny Gantz said that Hamas fighters "are eliminated or in hiding" declares Hamas defeated, but sees years of fighting ahead
  • The US has tried and failed for decades, you can’t defeat a tactic by just fighting them like a traditional army. The US sunk 20 years, $10 trillion USD, and oceans of blood into Afghanistan and achieved nothing. You also can’t force a people to β€œturn in the baddies for peace” by just flattening them like the US did in Korea and Vietnam… all it does is make the population hate you more and side with the side that fights them.

    It’s like Israel are Klingons or something that cannot visualize any solutions but violence and war.

  • www.cnbc.com Yellen says U.S. plans to β€˜underscore’ need for China to shift policy

    U.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen wrapped up the fourth and final full day of her trip to China on Monday.

    The US and the West’s in general’s economy has been reliant on low cost manufacturing in the PRC for over 50 years and now Janet Yellen is conveniently instructing them not to β€œdump cheap products into the market, driving down prices.” Of course the Middle Kingdom have no reason nor incentive and the West’s vague threats fall on deaf ears.

    But it’s obvious whatever β€œtruce framework” the US pretended to agree to last month was a load of steaming shit.
