Ever since PRC stopped sharing data with Top500 we don’t know where they stand but they are definitely not standing still.

Both parties are evil. If those 7 weren’t in the party, another 7 will do the same.

It is a capitalist democracy where both parties are controlled by the same monied class

Would the Federal Reserve raise the interest rate? Can they since Trump has been vocally against it.

I’m a local and I didn’t realize how much fertilizers were produced by the GCC countries until recently.

Today, the Gulf accounts for about 29% of globally traded ammonia and 36% of urea –making it one of the most critical nodes in the global food system and, by extension, one of its most exposed.

Even prominent democratic politicians and liberal talking-heads were supportive of the war on Iran, because both sides are “Israel First”. It is like everyone forgot how dependent their economy is on fossil fuels.

Israel cut off electricity, and the Internet to Gaza, murdered journalists and prevented foreign journalists from going and we still managed to get footage. Israel is much better at monitoring and media and narrative control, and still couldn’t hide what it was doing. Of course it didn’t help that their politicians and soldiers were boasting about it. “You can’t hide the sun”, if Iran killed tens of thousands then something would have surfaced.

Tens of thousands? Surely there will be some footage you can share of it. Something, anything, that would have reached the rest of the world. But you just parrot propaganda without evidence.

You can get a good Chinese car for the price, if Biden/Trump didn’t ban them.

not enough

Their fake outrage only increase the genocide, they are also responsible for what is happening.

Trump was president in 2024?

Truly impressive. Either I have been alive for a long time or the rate of progress is accelerating. I thought we were decades away from this.

Wrong country

She openly talked about China being next after Russia then complains that China is not helping them fight Russia.

If your definition of democracy and freedom is aiding and abetting genocide, war crimes, military interventions, and resource theft.

I am in a generous mood, let’s assume non-Europeans aren’t equal people and so the crimes committed against them don’t count. How does [European-style]* democracy and freedom guarantee better outcomes? Europe has been experimenting with democracy for over 2000 years -not continuously obviously-, how are the outcomes today better than when they had Socrates poisoned?

* I would argue that the PRC is a better democratic model than Europe with better outcomes.

Europe has nice weather and nice sceneries but that’s not an achievement or something worth admiring them or their leadership for.

After what she did to Libya, why wouldn’t I?

She is also a war criminal
