This was interesting to read:

“Many projects of the in USAID are aimed at cultivating so-called ‘civil forces’ or ‘opinion leaders,’ and through these aid recipients, they foster dissatisfaction and division in local societies, without making real improvements in local conditions,” said Lü Xiang, an expert at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences.

“Without making real improvements in local conditions” is the key defining characteristics of this rightoid groups funded by USAID to oppose anything that goes against Washington’s interest.

That is starting to change rapidly for both countries.

Why will NK need to lie about their numbers?

Very interesting analysis! Thanks for sharing Yogthos!

Sad that I can’t see their comments with my lemmygrad account

😔

I hate this “hit and run” comments from turbo libs/fascists like “Ibuthyr”. Beside being an embarrassing comment, it adds nothing to the discussion.

Yes, the USSR was illegally dissolved and this was done against the wishes of their citizens that voted years prior against it.

Wish you a speedy recovery!

Nice! I wish you success and hope you can find something stable that could relieve you from stress. Stress tends to be the strongest trigger for bad habits and also a good opportunity for good ones as well.

Not sure what you have tried so far but it certainly helps to have a group of friends that could help you get into any sports. Using sports as an excuse to stop you from mentally conceding to drinking works for a ton of people.

Example: I have friends who used to jog with a group or go cycling in the morning. If they ever go out, they will use sports as a reason to say no and leave early. Some others just go to boxing classes or the gym in the afternoons.

What really will work for you is to replace drinking with something else as an escape for stress. Having ways to relief stress is important.

Another banger from Macklemore!

Very bad. It is now a fascist hellhole where religious minorities and dissent are actively persecuted.

Also, there seems to be clashes between HTS(the “moderate” rebels according to the shit west) and Hezbollah in the border with Lebanon.

Lots of right wing news outlet in Latin America are begging for funds LMAO! Even the Miami gusano based Cubanet:

the reality of Chinese demographics is enough to show that there’s a certain decline looming around China

In the process of industrialization, the development of personal awareness, the pursuit of a high-quality life and women’s increased participation in the economy have always led to a decline in fertility rates. China isn’t immune to this. China’s demographic situation is a natural outcome driven by the nation’s economic and social development. This phenomenon is quite common. There is no need to exaggerate its influence.

From all of your comments, it seems to me that you think the US is “drawn into war” by your wording in " is fueled by" as if they are innocently responding to an aggressor. Have you ever wonder the possibility that the US is actively seeking war?

None of our answers will make sense to you if you don’t defy this fallacious idea of the US being the “reluctant warrior” or “the eternal victim”. To destroy this idea, I recommend you this episode from Citations needed -> https://citationsneeded.libsyn.com/website/ep-13-the-always-stumbling-us-empire

Thanks for being so thorough, cfgaussian! I was trying to come up with an answer as well but just couldn’t. It was a relief to see you answer!

Well, these three sources may give you a rough idea of what it was:

Also, this is a picture of it:

Looks like the Panama Canal is denying this 👀

The Panama Canal denied this February 5 that it has made adjustments to its tariffs, after the U.S. State Department reported hours earlier that its vessels would be exempted from payment for using the waterway.

“With absolute responsibility, the Panama Canal Authority, as it has indicated, is willing to establish a dialogue with the relevant officials of the United States regarding the transit of warships from that country,” it was reported through the bulletin disseminated on social networks.

What the hell is going on? 🔥

Reading that you found “conflicting” answers and hearing it was “bad”, it will be great if you first list what you have investigated so far. Otherwise, you leave us assuming too many things and make this very difficult to help you with an answer.

Wow this is AWESOME!
