It’s a real concern, but Ukraine war is proceeding to its just conclusion. EU will accept it better than they let on. It’s expected that world will allow US war on Venezuela without any compassion, just weapons profits. Because resisting US through proxy war is more profitable than sinking its air carrier battle group, through nuclear strike/torpedo, there is less risk of doomsday than 1-2 years ago. Europe will try to get nuked though.
from Russian perspective it would be far preferable for the US to get embroiled in their own version of SMO in Latin America for years to come.
exactly my point. This is not good for world./humans.
Yes. Yet another blatant war of aggression by US. More nakedly obvious than usual. Dependence on Russian military aid for months or years to fight it off as a proxy defense against the US is a less optimal/just outcome than ending the war immediately with an explosion in the ocean. World continues to normalize US behaviour instead of assisting its collapse.
It’s just making arms trade profits the solution instead of ending the aggression as the solution.
how Venezuela defeating the Burger Reich would create dependence on Russia
Viet Cong “won” with 10:1 casualty ratio, but more specifically, got a stalemate that lasted longer than US patience. Failure to capture or hold Venezuela by the US is a Venezuela victory, but it will come at costs. Dependence on Russia is needed to prolong a stalemate, where stalemate = eventual loss of patience by US.
if Russia sank a US carrier group that would be the start of WW3
No. Ends war on Venezuela, and ends illusions of US power projection. Whether nuclear weapons are used or not, there’s a right to sink boats making baseless attacks. There’s no reason to start a war on Russia after that, and no one would want to.
The torpedo has huge range. The goal could be to end war instead of humiliation/stalemate, but with dependence on Russia.
I don’t like this. Not because Venezuela doesn’t deserve help defending itself, but that Russia could “live test” it’s new nuclear powered torpedo by sinking the Gerald Ford air carrier group. Ending war before it begins, and there still remains the possibility of ending it quickly after it begins. is a more human strategy than maximizing Venezuela dependence on Russia.
It’s a war crime to execute suspected drug smugglers, or even to execute instead of trial someone found in possession of a large amount of drugs. There is no possible identification of anyone on board or even boat owner from high altitude.
Furthermore, many of the strikes are on speedboats that are going fast enough to plane over the water. It is impossible for any boat to go that fast with enough fuel to get to Florida, and the open cockpit boats themselves look obviously empty. This is simply, provably, pure terrorist evil.
Everything is corrupt about this comittee. It needs to be disbanded. All 3 of their nominees were shit.
Tesla stock price has always been valued on “Next Big Thing”. Its robotaxi/fsd is falling flat so far. But robotics is new NBT. With 85% of robots sold in China, and massive manufacturing market share that is still growing, future robot sales will still take place there, and Chinese companies are already well ahead in humanoid and other robotics.
Also their gimmick, robot soccer and robot olympics events, even if not incredibly impressive, is a mass student training program in robotics future that just doesn’t exist in the west. China’s future robot dominance is completely assured because they care about making it happen. Tesla has 0 chance of success, and for a market, requires giving Tesla US monopoly on overpriced robots.
This is Sweden/Nobel committee giving Trump more than he wants. Not only do they give the prize to a Venezuelan traitor, not only legitimizing CIA destabilization, election rigging/baseless complaining about resuts, and future war, the only media focus is going to be on what traitorous/TDS scum Sweden/Nobel committee are vs how much dopamine hit should you enjoy that Trump is throwing a tantrum. Justifying war on Venezuela is just a massive demonic gift to Trump, and not calling out Sweden/Nobel committee for fascit evil is just perfect for fascism.
Dangerous beliefs part of the propaganda that West/Ukraine has been winning all along. Wages are very high in Russia, due to high military pay bonuses, and is massively increasing military production. Russia has enough troops and equipment to be gaining territory every week. Russia moved ahead of Germany and Japan to be 4th largest economy. All of this comes from western reporting.
Just because there is always propaganda about how unconditional surrender of enemy is just mere weeks away, it is suicidal to believe any of it.
Just saw a “leak video” that 9070 is outselling 5070, and so 5070 and 5080 supers are being released very soon.
Has this threat actually been said out loud?
What I really mean is that for Canada it doesn’t make sense to join BRICS unless it manages to pull a Brazil and somehow switch the camp from “imperial” to “fringe kingdoms”.
Canada needs more direct investment from anyone willing to make it. The US is not on the list anymore, and the political unanimity that still pretends that US is ally are simply all traitors.
Not sure that is specific Project 2025 item, though it is a consequence of Trump trade policy. US$ value is a function of total trade with US. A $ is not destroyed when it is sent abroad, and there is general appeal to use it to buy US assets to ensure the wealth to purchase more imports. Unjustifiable extortion is resulting in less capital inflows to US treasuries even as the colonies rulerships seemingly submit to the extortion.
As OP’s charts show, China saved the US in GFC aftermath legitimizing their extreme QE and bailouts.
voidfucker
Iran is happy with permanent ceasefire. Israel had far greater initial demonic fantasies, and so we can say they lost. Trump’s glorious victory strike no one should question its success is essentially helpful intervention on behalf of Iran. Israel better off not receiving missiles, too.
Emperor rutte has spoken. Well deputy emperor to trump, rutte, has spoken. NATO members all agree to destroy their societies in order to boost military spending by 150%. Traitors in member parliaments will need to be executed if they object to the empire.
At least Europes war on Russia will be worth it. Every 100 years, no one left alive to remember last failure.
Putin made significant reforms from CIA stooge, and therefore loved “democratic leader” Yeltsin’s corruption was reformed. Western propaganda still portrays the oligarchy Yeltsin helped create (to enrichment of western financing) as in control of Russia. Reality to Russians, is that CIA puppetted nazi Ukraine instigated this war for diminishment of Russia goals, and defense of Russia is needed, and Putin has done a competent job in growing a war economy with good pay for everyone who wants a job in Russia. Western propaganda carries no weight because west hates an independent/cohesive Russia.
