Guys you don’t get it, DPRK lies about its stats and mainland China rates are low because of the suicide nets /s

This is the second deranged piece they put out on this topic, after this one (probably the same thing though, given the dates).
The United States needs strategic clarity toward Taiwan, including an explicit pledge to defend Taiwan from an unprovoked Chinese invasion
Ok cool, so that means they won’t lift a finger, right, because it says “unprovoked”? 🤡
prevent a conventional war that could escalate
consider extending its [US] nuclear umbrella over Taiwan
So they recommend avoiding conventional war and threatening to fire nukes first - sounds like them admitting (again) that they can’t beat China in a conventional war. Yet they’re so unhinged and trigger-happy about nukes.
plan for possible US nuclear use, and help prepare Taiwan to operate effectively after a nuclear detonation
Fucking ghouls. Basically “Make sure we can still use the island for military operations after we get it glassed”. They’re ready to irreparably damage Taiwan even more than they’ve enabled in Ukraine.
Just how much influence does the Atlantic Council have over NATO decisions? From what I heard, it’s fair to say “a lot” but I couldn’t find much info. Do these people end up taking important positions in NATO?
Whoever wrote that vile piece of digital toilet paper must’ve initially added two lightning bolt emojis next to each other before it got redacted
Nah, thanks for taking the time to write all of this. It’s a lot to unpack and a lot of it is relatable to where I have lived, even though not always to the same extreme
You can add the Eastern/Balkan EU countries to the list unfortunately. Plenty of people here looked up to the US as some shining city on a hill even before the fall of the Eastern Bloc
That’s not too bad, almost sounds like Buenos Aires
At first I was sure someone messed up Trump’s name
the average American is raised by our system to be debilitatingly cowardly and weak of mind and body
I’m not USian so I’m curious what you’re referring to, do you have some specific examples for why you say this?
I’ve noticed this as well and it’s infuriating. Literally had one Chinese liberal in a group doing everything in their power to segue group conversations to some “China bad” topic. Always twisting the truth and selectively leaving stuff out, short of telling outright lies. Like one example: they grew up in China, so they know social credit score isn’t a thing, but still mentioned banning people from travelling first class om trains or something similar, with the underlying assumption that this is just one example of the “social credit score” because that’s what someone had mentioned previously. Or one time they said how they never got to vote in any election, conveniently leaving out the fact that they weren’t of voting age when living there (that came out later). Or another time they repeated all the tinyman square massacre crap. Also turns out their family is filthy rich but lost some due to some unspecified misfortunes with their businesses. Smells like classic gusano.
This too, the westerners in that group love getting all their racist views confirmed by that Chinese person (who also made tons of racist blanket statements about Chinese people being this or that bad thing). They don’t even question it. They swallow the Yeonmi Park-level of bullshit immediately. And that Chinese person loves the attention they’re getting.
I thought this person was an outlier but sounds like they’re the norm.
