first thing would seem to be to decouple critical items like rare earths and medicine and critical electrical components and identify which countries we don't have to worry about decoupling from in the future as trading partners to use to source said items if it isn't onshored.
RUSSIA CLOSING THE NOOSE ON UKRAINIAN TROOPS 11 October 2023 by Larry Johnson The West is now caught in the trap of trying to sustain two proxy wars without the industrial clout to even fully supply one.
then why did they cut sales of drones and related materials to Ukraine and increase component supplies for multiple items to Russia? They have chosen a side because they thought that choosing Russia would make them more dependent on CHina (leverage) and if they did so discretely, the west wouldn't punish them for it. We need to reset theri expectations but it needs to be led by the EU.
Because then the US wouldn't have to. (....and they're just using Russia, playing Putin like a fiddle).
because china played nice until they got coupled with world economy and then Xi switched gears and the world hasn't had the stones to decouple..yet..jmo. why don't you share your opinion as to why the world hasn't confronted china? because we are addicted to cheap stuff?
get rubles or get dollars. same price, same product. no advantage to get rubles. doubt that russia is paying that much above market rate and if they are, china could just raise prices worldwide and not cut sales to Ukraine
I did. Go back and reread my posts (just today, this thread--not sending you on some wold goose chase...). You'll find it in there.
to prolong the war? you honestly think that the relative pennies that we spend on the war are going to cause us defense spending to plummet? bigger threat is tuberville holding appointments and crippling operational capacity. if China wants to pick a side, they should suffer the consequences
I thought you asked why the world doesn't confront China. This is a whole different Q n A. ...but prolonging the war is a small part of China's design to coax us into drowning ourselves in debt and ruining ourselves.
We've been kissing Chinese ass for decades. The one time one of our leaders takes something resembling a stand, and lo n behold, fruit of gain of function research is unleashed, puppet strings are pulled, the world sings I perfect harmony about a magic bat shiiting on a wet market being the culprit, that it just by unbelievable miraculous coonkydinky, happened to shit GOF covid in the backyard of where China was conducting GOF research (hand in hand with their puppet Fauci...), and with a few more pulls of a few more strings...were pissing away 7.x TRILLION DOLLARS to hold our dix in our hands, long enough for the said leader to get his walking papers ( after a few tugs on still a few more strings...).
All the way down the Q hole? Need verification to confirm translation: Trump takes on China DOH pays china to weaponize a biovirus and they intentionally leak the virus to negatively impact Trump. World leaders cower in fear of great Chinese weapons and say thank you sir? Did i interpret that properly?
Largely. But no Q shit involved, leaders didn't necessarily cower as much as they're bought n paid for, and it holds a helluva a lot more water than the magic bat bullshit yall so proudly echoed on command (Lol!)
Moscow warehouses on fire. We can only hope that it held key electrical components or intelligence center or ??? Those Russian deserters could be very helpful if they were provided with means and intel. Forget about those cross border raids, go do some real damage.

No. A big !@#!@#$ Chinese op. to make China top dog. Trump just posed a threat to that. Tell me Pit...be honest--did you believe in Santa clause? The tooth fairy? The #$@#@#$ magic bat shitting GOF covid on a wet market in Wuhan China = just this reeaallly whacky, ammmaaaaaaaaaazing coinkydinky? LOL! (I know you dun did...). But the real questions is...what flippn' invisible force permitted you to suspend your intellect, to swaller that whopper?
So let me ask this: let's say that your theory about an intentional release is true. Now take one critical thinking step beyond your desire for it to be true: why would you release it in the city in which your lab is located? In your own country? If you could literally release it anywhere in the world, why in the same city as your lab, which was placed there due to proximity to naturally occurring viruses? Why not spin the globe and release it in the city closest to wherever your finger lands?
lets not gum up this thread with origins of Covid which has had pages and pages of various theories and then how Dear Leader is the victim.
