Orange man upset that Russia didn’t fall for the snake oil this time and agree to yet another one sided truce.

China becoming more attractive for researchers to study and stay is vital and would put a definitive nail in the US’s coffin. For proof you only need to look at lists of developer names for AI models, whether the models be from China or the West.

Because socialist movements how a far greater chance of succeeding in a world where major powers are divided rather then the US/NATO having absolute dominance and control. If the US has no major rivals they are free to use their resources on playing world police and smother socialist country or movement before it has the chance to get off the ground. Obviously, worldwide socialism is the ultimate goal, but multipolarity is the most feasible next step towards that.

They would be better off with Big Beautiful Bullfrogs if they want to make great leaps into space.

Not surprising to me in the least, Spotify has been consistently showing their colors and all you need to do is look how big they were in being pro-ukraine in 2022. A complete no go for me.

Yep, it’s Lindsay Graham again, the guy pioneering the shitty depths of neoconservatism.

1. The DPRK is built around self-sufficiency as a founding principle, and as such can do whatever they want. Iran is more self-sufficient then most, but still can’t tank sanctions the same way.

2. The DPRK has a defensive alliance with China which of course makes the west more hesitant to bomb them while Iran for the most part is alone.

3. As a poster here from Iran has said, there might be a dangerously high number of liberals in Iran’s government who want to be accepted by the west rather then stand up against them.

Simply put I just don’t think Soviet era S-300s which make up the majority of Iran’s AD are sufficient against stealth aircraft like the F-35. They would need quantum radar systems like China has to reliably counter them and Iran just isn’t at that level.

Yes but I think most libs would superficially agree that the Vietnam war was a mistake. Praising the Vietnam war as something good is more of a hard right chud thing.

Appropriate- Condemning past wars

Inappropriate- Condemning present wars

I find DW to be insufferable even by Western media standards. It’s thinly veiled NATO state media.

Demanding the PLA to go marching to Iran’s aid of course would be silly but it’s clear Iran is suffering a severe deficit in their air defense and are very much in a vulnerable position if no one steps to help them in that area at least. It’s not going to stretch the US empire all that much if they decide to simply start wrecking havoc on Iran with B2 bombers. I don’t think anyone who doesn’t already hate China is going to be upset if they start sending Iran Pakistan level military aid.

Yeah, kick in the front door and it all come crumbling down. I remember there being someone else saying something along those lines.

Yes, because George Washington and his crew didn’t want to give the wrong message about monarchies back in 1776 and succeeded through their commitment to non-violence.

It’s the standard co-opting and channeling of left wing sentiment by the liberal establishment towards an inert and ineffective direction.

Iran giving the IDF some hypersonic jumpscares.

Pakistan needs to have a talk with China and tell them what Israel is doing unacceptable, and that Iran at the bare minimum needs the same level of Chinese military support that allowed Pakistan to send India packing not long ago. If we are going to talk about pragmatism, it is not pragmatic to allow Israel to destroy Iran’s oil and gas fields that it uses for trade with China.

Monarchy bad, oligarchy good.

I’d imagine that China’s foreign policy is severely constrained by it being one of the few socialist states in a world filled mostly by capitalist and reactionary regimes, and that they likely fear that breaking their non-interventionism could cause of chain reaction of countries they need economic partnerships with getting spooked.

People seeing businesses that are treating people like shit supporting socialist politics sounds exactly like the sort of thing that would generate fascists if anything.
