  • Oh dear, I thought you were at least smart enough to gather the economy isn't personal finances.

    Have you tried mailing your thought provoking posts to Putin? Maybe it will change the reality I described. Maybe he never considered it's not very nice and he should simply leave, and actually you can win anytime.

    Have a nice Sunday night seething at the internet in your mansion, be sure to get your butler to telegram Putin before bed

  • Yeah and public spending is just like personal finances, don't you agree?

  • Eager to see what coping everyone switches to when it becomes obvious to Ukraine that the deal Russia offered in 2022 before the Kiev withdrawal was the best possible reality they would ever see again. Little Weimar on the Dnieper. No NATO, no EU, no Donbass, no Crimea.

    Then again the epic bacon sirs will probably be given a new shiny thing in Asia or Africa to focus on.

    China helping to arm Russia with helicopters, drones and metals
  • Although there is quite a gap between saying metals are dual use, and playing coy about specific chemicals that are most useful as precursors for advanced chemical weapons being dual use

  • But, this is about as international as sanctions get.

    Not true, North Korea is sanctioned by everyone via the UNSC with more specific sanctions from other countries and bodies like the EU.

    And the word “international” doesn’t imply global, planetary or a majority.

    Right, when they say the international sanctions by the international community they're definitely not trying to imply anything. I wonder in that case what they mean when they mention the rules based international order.

  • A large majority of the world engaging in sanctions and not the usual suspects regularly framed in the press as the "international community." It's framed that way to imply that the entire world is doing it besides a few "rogue states" like China, North Korea or Venezuela, as if they were handed down by the UN or the world is united in agreement with the western sanctions regime. What would be far more accurate than "international sanctions" would be "western sanctions."

    For a more immediate example of how framing effects perception, look at all the people in this thread upset about China giving Russia weapons. No weapons are listed, just drones, helicopters, and metals. Upon opening the article you'll see the drones arrived before the war and are presumably consumer electronics, and there are six undefined types of helicopters. Some posters even mentioned attack helicopters, as if the Telegraph would not be screaming about attack helicopters and not helicopters if that was the case.

    It's a complete nothingburger and like all nothingburgers it plays with language to let you fill in the gaps using the context they have provided. Russia is being "armed" with some consumer drones, six personal helicopters, and metal, and the whole world is in uproar about it.

  • Dual-use goods

    Such goods are classified as dual-use, meaning they also have civilian purposes, allowing China to skirt international sanctions and claim that it conducts only legal trade with Russia

    The "international sanctions" btw:

    You can't just unilaterally decree someone can't be traded dual use goods

  • So basically they're using their monopoly to force through changes in internet standards? Sounds like the EU will be paying a visit soon.

  • It's all about ads/ad money/data, it's heavily bleeding into a single issue. It's not like some giant manufacturing company doing shady things with their cars and air conditioners, all the subsidiaries are interlinked. You could say WEI is just a Chrome thing, Google is just their search engine, AdWords is just an ad service etc, but they're all part of the data to ads to sales pipeline.

  • There's no overarching anti-trust conversation to be had because there's currently no anti-trust cases, if there ever will be. The comments under each individual instance of it being required is the "big conversation". As a content aggregation site (mainly news) the only place it could realistically occur is under some wishful thinking self-post nobody would care about.

    I also saw people pine for trust busting just the other day under some Amazon article, there's simply nowhere else to post about it at the moment.
