>India experienced a socialist system for its first five decades which made people poor.

Yep, that's what made India poor. Definitely didn't have anything to do with centuries of British colonialism.

🧟

>A rising tide lifts all boats

It also drowns the people who can't afford boats...

But the only party that can stop the war is Russia, and they are unwilling to negotiate.

Is a NATO pilot allowed to fly/train with other countries even after decommissioning without NATO authorization?

Alliance player spotted…

Or a rule 34...

Yes, we just got fucked by those nazis wich committed 2 genocides that we know of, fucked brazilian economy (half of the population don't know if they're getting to eat anything the next day), we suffered a coup (which the US was part of), we had one of the most conturbed elections in our history; Even though Bolsonaro lost fascism grew a lot in senate and in congress; the fascists invaded the the congress, Supreme Court and the president's office (that one happened this month). The new president took office this month in the middle of an economic, humanitarian and political crisis. Demanding us to finance a war we don't have anything to do with is just cruel.

> So do you oppose the current conflict in Ukraine?

Yes, I oppose it. All involved parties need to stop the war and talk it out.

> I’m not sure if you answered my previous question, would you continue doing trade with Nazi Germany?

I already told you that you don't have a good reason to bring up Nazi Germany.

100% this! People who have never been to the region will never understand the complexity of the situation. And it absolutely kills me that our educational system is allowing BDS to be an actual thing. Those who support BDS can’t grasp the concept that Hamas’s (the ruling party) convent literally states that "our struggle against the Jews is very great and very serious" and calls for the eventual creation of an Islamic state in Palestine, in place of Israel and the Palestinian Territories,[3] and the obliteration or dissolution of Israel.[4][5] It emphasizes the importance of jihad, stating in article 13, "There is no solution for the Palestinian question except through Jihad.”

And sadly they aren’t even the most extreme group in the Palestinian Territories

China, the ex boyfriend that doesn’t understand the relationship is over and tries to scare the new boyfriend.

fly agaric mushroom ain't your typical magic mushroom

Heat pumps should be cheaper to run at this point. But installation costs are the highest

Strange there's no boycott of Chinese intellectuals despite their government putting Uyghur Muslims in concentration camps, or seizing islands belonging to Philippines or Vietnam

Russia as a whole needs to support the genocide campaign against Ukraine for it to happen. It wasn't Putin Khan shooting tied up people on the streets of Bucha. Russia is doing a thing and that thing is the crime of genocide.

Yes let's punish Russia. Remove any sense of pride their athletes might bring to bandage over their war criminal image.

COVID 19 is a leading cause of death for children and young people in the USA so I'm going to disagree. https://www.eurekalert.org/news-releases/978052

Edit: I said "the" not "a", sue me. Still a boat load of morons trying to underplay the seriousness of the pandemic. It's a big deal and it's not only old people who die and even if it was, it would still be a big deal.

So do you oppose the current conflict in Ukraine?

I’m not sure if you answered my previous question, would you continue doing trade with Nazi Germany?

I think so. And gymnasiums/arenas/stadiums are planned to be back to full attendance soon.

They lie their asses of already about destroying material...this is just gonna continue the cycle, lol.

European countries have been adding more more intermittent renewable energy generation year after year.

Showing building grids around intermittent renewable energy backed by gas is a cost effective way in reducing carbon emissions.

Yet detractors keep saying that the intermittent nature of wind and solar make them unsuitable for mass adoption.

Promising for what? Hu is regarded as a soft negotiator/messenger in global diplomacy - a strategy which Xi strongly rejected with unfriendly countries but which really backfired or failed to achieve full wconomic effect. Hu was very popular among non-political people because he was quiet.

He however was even more economically conservative than Deng and also orchestrated the violent repression of Tibet and legislated the threat to attack an independent Taiwan.

What is there to suggest to you that either of these people were nice or good people?

A 'reform' in China is not a progressive policy and everything is done in the framework of having a viable and more importantly, stable and secure socialist dictatorship.

Their 'reforms' are things like "perfect goal, poor execution. We'll torture people differently this time to achieve a better result".

China has been winning the global propaganda war that puts China in a very fair, free and positive light especially among developing countries and in Africa.

I really can't recall any instance of Hu being seen as a particularly strong leader and certainly nothing as an economic/social reformist that hoped to radically change his society. He reformed things in order to reduce corruption and party fighting. I'm not really sure what kind of reforms you are hinting at that are not anything outside of the norm of all Chinese leaders. Hu was an administrative reformist but socially repressive and economically concervative and was just in general a very cautious leader. If he has a reputation as an economic and social progressive reformist now - which I don't believe he does - then that is nothing but a new propaganda. I suppose it helps when a leader is long-gone from the role that the party paints them in a more positive light so people don't become bitter, but learn to remember that every leader was actually good for them in the end.

China doesn't want to "open up" economically. They want to get rich quick and capitalism is the way to do it. Many industries overproduced so why shouldn't they be exporting their surplus product? It's also useful for promoting new technologies which allows creative people access to reverse engineer them and think about domestic innovation.

Many industries have timeframes to become independent of reliance on other countries. The long, long-term goal is Autarky because trade is one area where the U.S has them by the balls if they go starting a conflict with Taiwan or India.

The USSR was more or less closed to trade and look at the quality of their industry and domestic products as a result - the quality is even lower than what it was in the 1970s. If it wasn't for all the technology and people stolen from the DDR, modern Russia would be even worse off. Of course China doesn't want to remain that isolated. It wasn't working for them. They promote trade and international education and suddenly their technology and quality of life greatly leaps forward at a rapid pace. Xi is trying to reign that in so that these advanced products don't need to be imported, otherwise they lose all of their educated talent and just back to square 1 because importing is the path of least resistance but it can also be an economic opium.

thanks, didn't know that sub

That’s just a lie to control negative press. Anyone with a brain has known China was a national security threat to western countries for well over a decade. Only now is it becoming impossible to look the other way.
