This whole thing is not even about Ukraine at all but more about new world currency zones (and new world order) and which countries will be taking their stance where.

Ukraine is just a pretty and distracting picture on the screens for Western viewers and the manipulative purpose because of the current world economic crisis.

The US is really trying too hard on prolonging the life of the already falling economic system by trying to destroy China/Russia, but... they need to realize that things won't go back to them how they were previously.

All red lines were crossed by NATO and the US at this point, now it is all about who will survive and how.
This conflict was literally started by Russian making up pretexts for invading Serbia, Belarus, Georgia, and then annexing Crimea, and now mainland Ukraine, and now they have their sights on Moldova by funneling arms to the separatist-backed regions of Transnistria using the same tactic. It's about Russia trying to reestablish the USSR. It's not a "new world order", and the Western economic system far exceeds Russian output.

I don't know who's paying you to be a wingnut on the internet, but you're going to need to do more research because you're not going to convince anyone with this vague conspiratorial nonsense.

No one's trying to destroy Russia and China.

I know there are a lot of factors I'm not even sure what every motivator at play is by each country and group. It's a real mess.


Well, for many years (if not for centuries) it was only two working ideologies so far.

Western Colonized Capitalism and Socialism which truly never implemented fully anywhere.

Judging by today's Liss Truss speech in England, the West (picked their poison) and will continue with Colonized Capitalism ideology, with a plan to fight everyone who opposes them.

I'm still waiting for the other 2 big world players to come out already... and finally state their true future ideology.

Of course, there are other ideologies, such as radical Religions but they will not work in the majority of today's world countries (and it's too outdated), and the last is Ultra-Nationalism, which has certainly been used before and lately seems that its roots are still in the living phase and also active in certain places.

The French speakers should read this book:



It helps understanding why some people believe that Russia will save Europe by conquering it to free the "Continent" (if we do not include Russia in Europe...) from its corruption. However, the current Russia is as or perhaps even more corrupt than Europe, and as such, has absolutely no credibility to play a role of saviour (of Europe).

Also I'm not "pro-Russia". If I have to choose between pro-Russia or anti-USA, I'd choose the latter without a doubt. If there's any countries that I'm "pro", then it would be China, Laos, Cuba, DPRK, Vietnam, and Venezuela.

And I actually also want a regime change for Russia, but after the USA collapses. I want the Soviet Union back.

The irony to see you using the verb "dehumanise" is priceless. As someone who would have a party if billions died, you should not be using the word "human" and its derivatives too lightly.

And no, nobody is paying me shit. I just want to witness a new order under China as the global world leader, and the revival of the USSR.

Russia's gas and oil exports are the main reason why we Europeans don't freeze to death during winter. That and along with Ukraine they used to feed us. A significant portion of our lives depend on Russia.

Europe is stuck between a rock and a hard place, at least us smaller countries on the eastern side and we have to follow the lead of Western Europe / Bruxelless. Even then the EU has/will/is planning to accept Russia's demand for us to pay them in roubles for their fuels which is a big thing when the world is trying to cripple their economy with sanctions. So are we really accepting this provocation unilaterally, one-sidedly? If you ask me we're fence-sitting and playing both sides in a very insidious and duplicitous way.

Just because I know someone will jump to conclusions; no I'm not praising Russia or supporting war even if Russia has understandable (read: not justifiable) reasons for why they launched the offensive and Ukraine isn't an innocent bystander in all of this (read: it still doesn't deserve this).

This whole crisis is a result of a decades-long cause and effect of poor choices, unfortunate circumstance and international strong-arming/meddling.

Because Russia's goal is simply just demilitarization and denazification, not bombing everything into oblivion. That's why they avoid attacking civilians areas. And guess what? Zelenshit took advantage of this by using his man as meat shield. Shit dude should've just capitulate.

And no, Russia never intended to take Kiev. The goal is just to prevent foreign supplies while securing to liberate Mariupol. Just look at exactly when did they withdraw from Kiev.

Putin is literally a billionaire bourgeoisie who has a palace to rival that of a Czar along with all his billionaire bourgeoisie friends. They stole their wealth from the people of Russia and are now sending underprivileged members of their own proletariat to die for their own financial benefit. Some commie you are.
I'd never deny that. But what is the reach of these so-called Russian "billionaire bourgeoisie" has compared to the American ones, that has and still plaguing the whole world with its child slavery practice? But of course, you'd call the American ones "enterpreneur". What a hypocrite.

But keep responding to this post. I know it's helping you make money. See? Look at how much humanity I have! Enjoy the internet and Anime western style capitalism gave you in the meantime.

No, I don't get any cent in posting any of this. You capitalists can only think that money is the only thing that incentivizes people to do something.

OP, if you're still alive, you'll know that the European NATO countries are currently reaping what they have sown.

I hope Europe realizes the grave mistakes they've made and leave NATO and join the Sino-Russia alliance as quickly as possible. The end of capitalism is near.
Yeah, NATO are reaping what they sowed for not putting more missiles on the border, and spending more to counteract Russian bot trolls disseminating laughable propaganda on the internet. Perhaps we have Donald Trump and our senators to thank for the inaction from 2015 onward though.

It's funny you think Europe is losing when Russia is struggling to take out Ukraine. Thanks to Putin's actions, now more countries are on an accelerated timeline to join NATO. Most of the younger Russians themselves dislike Putin.

But nothing will convince someone who's been fed lies from Channel One "programming" from those cheap blue LED lights every night and now makes it their mission to make Russia a laughingstock on MAL of all places.

Again, look at this dehumanizing reply calling a human being as "bots".

Also no, Putin's approval rating skyrocketed to 81% in Russia after the war.

The American empire is faltering, and the new Eastern Bloc will prevail. Deal with it.

Maybe because America always insert themselves into other countries issues, instead of letting these countries deal with their own problems. Don't get me wrong American has caused their share of conflicts, but like somebody else said on this thread there's other issues to worry about in this world like people starving and not getting the proper medical treatment that they need.

Easy, easy, conspi-red-boy. USSR collapsed by itself without foreign intervention, it was not "destroyed" (sic). It would be time for you to stop being a negationist who believes that the gulags were vacation facilities amongst other shocking things.

Hell yea, copium pills hitting hard I see. Russian state media parroting is strong on this one.

Explain to us sir how a feint costs hundreds of equipment so that they could ''liberate'' the most distant city from Ukrainian supply lines, or the Russians simply had enough losses which led their command to reconsider their objectives?

The answer is pretty obvious.

On top of that, the UA is more militarized than ever, and ''denazification'' can only be achieved if they topple the government.
As it stands, Putin is in no position to force a demilitarization on his terms, and it looks like this will be a long drawn-out fight.

Not that I imagine you care, because you'll dismiss anything that goes against your worldview as being western capitalist propaganda, but the suicide rate in Lithuania at present is 20.2 per 100,000. The suicide rate in Belarus is 26.2 suicides per 100,000. So even by your own metric, you messed up. Reporters without borders also gives Belarus a much lower score than Latvia on press freedom.
Belarus is the most dangerous country in Europe for media personnel. Critical journalists and bloggers are subjected to threats and violence and are arrested in large numbers. There are Internet cuts. Leading news websites are blocked. The print media are censored and access to information is restricted. Since the disputed presidential election in August 2020, the few independent media outlets have been hounded by police trying to prevent coverage of the huge street protests. They were already harassed by the authorities, fined and forced into exile, but they had not previously been persecuted on this scale. Raids and prosecutions are much more frequent, and the jail sentences are getting longer. Despite the risks and the increase in propaganda in the state media, courageous journalists continue to cover developments.

Even without these points, btw, my point was obviously that it would behoove Ukraine to join NATO and the EU like those countries have, not to adopt everything those countries do.

Also yes, I support market systems, as they are the best vehicle by which to lift people out of poverty. Particularly countries that have exported out to other countries well.

So okay now after years Germany is sending in tanks that will wind up in hands of Neo Nazis as if history cant possibly repeat itself and everyone sending in weapons in general basically for child sodgiers (seeing that Zelensky removed age limits on the military)


So every brigade of the UA is full of nazis? Why would these German tanks fall into nazi hands? The Russian narrative in order to use 'denazification' as a propaganda tool to dehumanize a population of 40 million people, invade their country, bomb their cities, and loot their property does not hold up period.

For all people know Putin couldn't care less about some Neo-Nazi crack heads considering Russia has a huge problem with neo-nazism too, the DPR was caught praising a soldier (flashing Nazi patches) for killing nazis.

They have their own child soldier programs as well, if not to a bigger extent in Russia.
It's observable that the Russian soldiers are on average younger, especially because of conscription and relatively antiquated short training period. If anything the UA has more experienced soldiers on the front, the youngest soldiers normally stay on guard duty as far as UA still has its military brigades intact.




Quite honestly many countries have some child soldiers then... Canada has a very assimilated program for kids twelve to nineteen years of age. I myself was an air-cadet, Are we making neo-nazi killer Canadians ready for war now?

Edit: Putin's whole platform is all about conservative values which in Russia goes hand in hand with these cadet summer camps.

From my understanding Germany is shipping tanks over not offering to run them unless news I've seen is misleadingly worded. Groups like Azov Batallion are officially Ukraine's military basically even though their roots are Ultra Nationalist Neo Nazis. You can easily tell since you even see some with Nazi symbols tattooed on them and stuff like that. This has literally nothing to do with what Putin is saying their motive is. It likely is true but also a pretext for other motives. Literally EVERY major western news source prior to 2022 was reporting on Azov being full of Neo Nazis. This is straight facts.

I never mentioned Putin. Russia has Nazis but they at least aren't officially the government's military. I am just explaining how one sided everything is being portrayed in the media and acting like the US and NATO had nothing to do with the escalation by Russia and totally forgetting about the internal conflict within Ukraine prior.

You couldn't possibly compare dumb patriotic propoganda programs for kids as exactly same as actually having them in the military in real combat. It was never really a huge focus anyway since I understand child sodgiers are often used in countries where they are not left with much other options. My problem is it's completely conveniently ignored by the same groups that normally would criticize that.

This isn't about sides. I'm against Zelensky AND Putin AND Biden AND Trump. I don't care if Ukraine or Russia gets whatever land I just want the citizens to get whatever they want.

You're misunderstanding me, nobody denies that Azov has nazi roots. I'm in no way denying their neo-nazi fantasies, but the fact they are part of the UA is not a determining factor to tag the current Ukrainian government as Nazi, let alone an entire country and army. The Azov battalion is just a product of the chaos that unfolded in 2014, at the time it's true that the UA had a weak military in every way and whoever was down to hold a gun was more than welcome to do so.

The Azov Batallion is a single brigade, the way you describe it sounds like the entire Ukrainian Armed Forces are composed by the Azov batallion alone, but the Ukrainian Army has 18 brigades of regulars and NG, 3 naval infantry brigades, 10 TDF brigades plus 8 reserve brigades. And for the comfort of any Antifa the Azov ''batallion'' is probably trapped in Mariupol so they are not even combat effective anymore.

There is no way that any western supply is directed to one single battalion trapped deep behind enemy lines.

You couldn't possibly compare dumb patriotic propoganda programs for kids as exactly same as actually having them in the military in real combat.


Where are these kids in real combat? Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.

Children make for shit soldiers, modern gear is really heavy. So far I've seen footage of the same summer camps but no actual combat.

Russia has Nazis but they at least aren't officially the government's military.
What about the DPR and LPR, they are Russian, and Russia has other expandable units such as the Chechens so as of now there is no need for their Nazis.

Lol. One second, they are banned from surrendering even though 'thousands' of Ukrainians have surrendered... and possibly executed. Then they are low on morale but are comparable to an elite SS unit and have built-in morale boosters. Then they are militants that exemplify the purest form of Naziism ever seen on the planet. Also, Noah was a Ukranian. The Ark landed in the Carpathians after the flood.


Also, how the fuck did they even get that?

That has got to be frustrating.
Not to be a buzzkill or anything but the financial estimates for taking Mariupol let alone rendering it relivable are not good. It's like getting Chernobyl lite with prominent Gazprom execs committing suicide with their families.

The armies separated; and, it is said, Pyrrhus replied to one that gave him joy of his victory that one other such victory would utterly undo him. For he had lost a great part of the forces he brought with him, and almost all his particular friends and principal commanders; there were no others there to make recruits, and he found the confederates in Italy backward. On the other hand, as from a fountain continually flowing out of the city, the Roman camp was quickly and plentifully filled up with fresh men, not at all abating in courage for the loss they sustained, but even from their very anger gaining new force and resolution to go on with the war.

And no, Russia never intended to take Kiev. The goal is just to prevent foreign supplies while securing to liberate Mariupol. Just look at exactly when did they withdraw from Kiev.

I'd never deny that. But what is the reach of these so-called Russian "billionaire bourgeoisie" has compared to the American ones, that has and still plaguing the whole world with its child slavery practice? But of course, you'd call the American ones "enterpreneur". What a hypocrite.

The American empire is faltering, and the new Eastern Bloc will prevail. Deal with it.

>Reestablish the USSR

I FUCKING wish.

But no, if anything, Russia is trying to re-establish the Russian Empire, and that's why I wish for a regime change in Russia, but only after the fall of the USA and its bloc.

Also funny that you called Transnistria a "separatist-backed regions" instead of a country. You know what else I can call a "separatist-backed regions" that needs to be liberated from its occupation? Yes, the Taiwan province.

Good job on masking off yourself btw.
And why do you think that happened, if not because of an even more corrupt entity destroyed the USSR in the Cold War? That's why this even more corrupt entity is something that needs to be put to an end first among all others.

Easy, easy, conspi-red-boy. USSR collapsed by itself without foreign intervention, it was not "destroyed" (sic). It would be time for you to stop being a negationist who believes that the gulags were vacation facilities amongst other shocking things.

As someone who only knows Dostoevsky by name, you should remain silent on such questions.

I have mentioned a lot of times that "whataboutism" is not a fallacy, but rather, a liberal method of dismissing any criticisms pointing out their hypocrisy.

By the "fall of the US bloc" of course I never meant of massive scale of genocide of Americans, Europeans, Anglos, etc, but rather, now all of them have to work the same amount of effort to gain the same amount of results as the people of Haiti, Mali, Congo, etcetc. It of course, negatively affects the average European social democratic countries, which workers are benefitted from imperialism because their bourgeoisie is bribing their working class hard through exporting exploitations.

Also yes, the USSR collapsed due to the CIA intervention and Khrushchev revisionism that allow lukewarm socdems like Pizza boi Gorbachev come to power. Most of the common people back then were against the dissolution of the USSR (which means that the decision is totally undemocratic), and that until today, a lot of Russians wanted the USSR back.

Not that I imagine you care, because you'll dismiss anything that goes against your worldview as being western capitalist propaganda, but the suicide rate in Lithuania at present is 20.2 per 100,000. The suicide rate in Belarus is 26.2 suicides per 100,000. So even by your own metric, you messed up. Reporters without borders also gives Belarus a much lower score than Latvia on press freedom.
Belarus is the most dangerous country in Europe for media personnel. Critical journalists and bloggers are subjected to threats and violence and are arrested in large numbers. There are Internet cuts. Leading news websites are blocked. The print media are censored and access to information is restricted. Since the disputed presidential election in August 2020, the few independent media outlets have been hounded by police trying to prevent coverage of the huge street protests. They were already harassed by the authorities, fined and forced into exile, but they had not previously been persecuted on this scale. Raids and prosecutions are much more frequent, and the jail sentences are getting longer. Despite the risks and the increase in propaganda in the state media, courageous journalists continue to cover developments.

Don't tell me you actually think that the cost of all the raw materials needed to make 1 iPhone is not that different with the cost of iPhone itself.

And guess who exported the finished goods? Yep, it's always NA-Europe countries companies. And where the raw materials came from? Yep, Africa mostly.

And what would happen if African countries started making means of production of their own? The Global North billionaires gonna either buy that companies or use any means possible to destroy them, to make them unable to achieve national self-determination.

The game is rigged from the start, and that's why planned economy is far more preferrable than market.

Hell yea, copium pills hitting hard I see. Russian state media parroting is strong on this one.

Explain to us sir how a feint costs hundreds of equipment so that they could ''liberate'' the most distant city from Ukrainian supply lines, or the Russians simply had enough losses which led their command to reconsider their objectives?

The answer is pretty obvious.

On top of that, the UA is more militarized than ever, and ''denazification'' can only be achieved if they topple the government.
As it stands, Putin is in no position to force a demilitarization on his terms, and it looks like this will be a long drawn-out fight.

More like, your country is the one under copium overdose now.

Like how the Russian Empire become the USSR pretty easy.

It is still not enough to point out the crimes of the West to justify the crimes of the East.

By the "fall of the US bloc" of course I never meant of massive scale of genocide of Americans, Europeans, Anglos, etc, but rather, now all of them have to work the same amount of effort to gain the same amount of results as the people of Haiti, Mali, Congo, etcetc.

I would not be so sure about that after witnessing you sending death threats to several people here. What are you even talking about? The "results" of Haiti, Mali and Congo are nil, and you would not want to live in any of those countries...

DRC has the third largest population of poor globally. Poverty in DRC is high, remains widespread and pervasive, and is increasing due to impacts from COVID-19. In 2018, it was estimated that 73% of the Congolese population, equaling 60 million people, lived on less than $1.90 a day (the international poverty rate). As such, almost 14% — or one out of six people living in extreme poverty in SSA — live in DRC.

https://www.worldbank.org/en/country/drc/overview#1

The extreme poverty rate in 2019 was 42.3%, as a result of outstanding agricultural output since 2014. The 2020 health, security, social, and political crises led to a 5% increase in poverty. Some 90% of the country’s poverty is concentrated in the densely populated rural areas of the south.

https://www.worldbank.org/en/country/mali/overview#1

It of course, negatively affects the average European social democratic countries, which workers are benefitted from imperialism because their bourgeoisie is bribing their
working class hard through exporting exploitations

Indeed, for the people would starve to death.

Otherwise, you are making some good points on the raw materials (that were deemed a "curse" by some economists), and the market rules should change to benefit more the producers, but this is nigh-on impossible to achieve by countries that suffer from a rampant corruption at all levels of society. But I do not believe that there is a fatality about this issue.

Also yes, the USSR collapsed due to the CIA intervention and Khrushchev revisionism that allow lukewarm socdems like Pizza boi Gorbachev come to power. Most of the common people back then were against the dissolution of the USSR (which means that the decision is totally undemocratic), and that until today, a lot of Russians wanted the USSR back.

Ah yes, the famous CIA conspiracy theory that is behind any political change in the world... Prove that Khrushchev was a CIA agent to start with. You are a democrat now?

Such as? When has the East plundered a country resources as much as how the west has done to Asia and Africa since 1800s? You sir, are acting in a bad faith here. Or do you want to say that equal results for equal efforts a crime now? Then you're no different than the imperialists.

I would not be so sure about that after witnessing you sending death threats to several people here. What are you even talking about? The "results" of Haiti, Mali and Congo are nil, and you would not want to live in any of those countries...
I did not. Detainment is not a death threat. And the users I actually have said thing as such are a person who want to spread a terrible ideology that makes humanity more lawless and feral than the jungle ecosystem in the name of "freedom", and the other one is someone who believes that belitting someone with less results in life a necessity. You do know that such feral creatures of Fenrir in Nordic Mythology was put on leash with Gleipnir right? Similarly, people like them and their horrible ideologies needs to be put on leash.

Also those countries resources have been plundered hard. Look at the massive deforestation that happened in Haiti. And exactly. Nobody wants to live in a country that has become a victim of capitalism and imperialism. Because an average Haitian would need a lot of extra work to gain the same amount of materials gained by an average Dutch. And what I want is to make the work of each people needed to gain the same amount of worth equal, whether it be the people of the Global North, or the Global South. Of course in this case, the Haitians would've do less work than what they're currently doing to gain a certain amount and the Dutch would've need to work more. Read what I said before that people in the social democratic country of Europe will be most likely negatively affected. Funnily enough, the average American would've still be better off with that (this map is rather outdateed I guess but probably will still looking not that far from this).


Indeed, for the people would starve to death.

Some people in Africa or Haiti etc can survive said conditions, what makes you think that every Dutch or Brits would've starve to death. Under even distribution none of the people of the Global North would've need to work as hard as what the people of the Global South currently do to gain the same amount of result (though of course, a bit harder is to be expected, but no more than twice even at countries currently with the wealthiest working class).

Ah yes, the famous CIA conspiracy theory that is behind any political change in the world... Prove that Khrushchev was a CIA agent to start with. You are a democrat now? You must be really desperate to try making points by vague appeals to democratic values... But it should not come as a surprise from someone who thinks that China is a democracy
There is a reason I made those two separate points. No, Corn boi was not a CIA agent, nor is Pizza boi. Yeltsin was the one who probably was, as he made an appearance in TIME magazine which shows that he asked the help of the USA to rig his losing vote, and also of course, a lot of people in the Yeltsin's cabinets.

Desperate? No. That's just facts thst most people did not want the USSR to dissolve back then, and wants the USSR back now in Russia.

Speaking about China, 95% of the people are in approval of their government. Also, read this. China is a democracy that works.

Still, there is something we agree on. Yes, when I said a country "exports well" as a way out of poverty, I had in mind finished products. Being able to export finished products that the world wants to buy shows you're developing strong domestic industries.
I'm not some neoliberal or a free market purist. There's room for industrial policy. But fundamentally it has to tie back to international market signals, otherwise your country is supporting industries that aren't any good for it. Eventually you should have domestic industries that can compete internationally without any support. Countries that have gone through this track successfully have used markets, not just planning.

Also those countries resources have been plundered hard. Look at the massive deforestation that happened in Haiti. And exactly. Nobody wants to live in a country that has become a victim of capitalism and imperialism. Because an average Haitian would need a lot of extra work to gain the same amount of materials gained by an average Dutch. And what I want is to make the work of each people needed to gain the same amount of worth equal, whether it be the people of the Global North, or the Global South. Of course in this case, the Haitians would've do less work than what they're currently doing to gain a certain amount and the Dutch would've need to work more. Read what I said before that people in the social democratic country of Europe will be most likely negatively affected. Funnily enough, the average American would've still be better off with that (this map is rather outdateed I guess but probably will still looking not that far from this).

As expected, you have no idea of economy if you think that you can distribute global wealth and expect that no famines occur. Try to think that a salary that makes you rich in a given country can make you extremely poor in another one.

Some people in Africa or Haiti etc can survive said conditions, what makes you think that every Dutch or Brits would've starve to death. Under even distribution none of the people of the Global North would've need to work as hard as what the people of the Global South currently do to gain the same amount of result (though of course, a bit harder is to be expected, but no more than twice even at countries currently with the wealthiest working class).

See the above. Live is more complicated than that, Desolated.

There is a reason I made those two separate points. No, Corn boi was not a CIA agent, nor is Pizza boi. Yeltsin was the one who probably was, as he made an appearance in TIME magazine which shows that he asked the help of the USA to rig his losing vote, and also of course, a lot of people in the Yeltsin's cabinets.

Okay, you still have to prove that the CIA is behind the collapse of USSR. No, appearing on the Time magazine does not prove anything!... "Probably." You should not use probability theory here, only hard evidence. Once more, you show that you are an average conspiracy theorist, who prefers faith over facts.

Desperate? No. That's just facts thst most people did not want the USSR to dissolve back then, and wants the USSR back now in Russia.

Of course, the Russian citizens regret the grandeur of their fallen empire, but you should also know that most ex-USSR countries do not want to become slaves of Russia once more.

Speaking about China, 95% of the people are in approval of their government. Also, read this. China is a democracy that works.
http://www.news.cn/english/2021-12/04/c_1310351231.htm

People cannot express freely criticism of China, of course they support their government... China is not a democracy, it does not matter how many times you say it.

You think a liberal democracy like your country France where people voted for Macron mostly because "Le Pen is worse" instead of "He is a good leader" is a better and healthy system? Lol.

Once more, you show that you cannot live without whataboutism and binary thinking. I do not like much the current state of French politics, but that does not mean that I would prefer living in China... Democracy has never been about electing good leaders by the way. Most candidates are mediocre, and one has to choose the least worse alternative. For example, Macron is not a conspiracy theorist or has a huge monetary conflict of interest with Russia, so he was obviously a better choice. Not to mention that he is much less xenophobic, although he does not differ much from Le Pen when it comes to islamophobia...

People cannot express freely criticism of China, of course they support their government... China is not a democracy, it does not matter how many times you say it.

Wrong. Stop spreading lies. People criticize and do protests all the time in China.

two Harvard University research papers in two different years contradict this claim. One was made in 2012 while the other was made in 2017 both produced by Gary King, Jennifer Pan, Margaret E. Roberts who specializes in using quantitative data to analyze public policy.

The 2012 Research Paper Abstract is:

We offer the first large scale multiple source analysis of the outcome of what may be the most extensive effort to selectively censor human expression ever implemented. To do this we have devised a system to locate, download, and analyse the content of millions of social media posts originated from nearly 1,400 different social media services all over China before the Chinese government is able to find, evaluate, and censor (i.e., remove from the Internet) the large subset they deem objectionable. Using modern computer-assisted text analytic methods that we adapt to and validate in the Chinese language, we compare the substantive content of posts censored to those not censored over time in each of 85 issue areas. Contrary to previous understandings, posts with negative, even vitriolic, criticism of the state, its leaders, and its policies are not more likely to be censored. Instead, we show that the censorship program is aimed at curtailing collective action by silencing comments that represent, reinforce, or spur social mobilization, regardless of the content. Censorship is oriented towards attempting to forestall collective activities that are occurring now or may occur in the future – and, as such, seem to clearly expose government intent, such as examples we offer where sharp increases in censorships presage government action outside the Internet.
https://www.scribd.com/document/97167564/Paper-on-censorship-in-China

This 2012 research paper demonstrates definitively that the Chinese government’s operation of The Golden Shield Project perfectly fits in line with Section 5 of the Computer Information Network and Internet Security, Protection, and Management Regulations. The Chinese government does not censor negative comments of the CCP or government in general but censors’ content that the government sees as spurring collective action against #1, #2, #3 or #4 of Section 5. Now I would like to specifically point out that the Chinese government doesn’t censor all collective action. Only the ones that violate Section 5. In 2010 there were approximately 180,000 different incidences of protests in China that happened in the year. These protests are for things like governmental corruption, corporate corruption, unpaid wages, health & safety violations, education & health care, NIMBY, environmental degradation, among other types.

Countries that export finished goods are getting richer, because finished goods costs far more than the costs of the materials needed to create said products. Don't tell me you actually think that the cost of all the raw materials needed to make 1 iPhone is not that different with the cost of iPhone itself.

More impoverished? The world continues to get less impoverished pretty much everywhere. Some countries are definitely getting much richer than others though.
Still, there is something we agree on. Yes, when I said a country "exports well" as a way out of poverty, I had in mind finished products. Being able to export finished products that the world wants to buy shows you're developing strong domestic industries.
I'm not some neoliberal or a free market purist. There's room for industrial policy. But fundamentally it has to tie back to international market signals, otherwise your country is supporting industries that aren't any good for it. Eventually you should have domestic industries that can compete internationally without any support. Countries that have gone through this track successfully have used markets, not just planning.

Disagree with the world gets less impoverished part:

You should not be surprised to be called a Russian bot after making such outlandish claims. If the situation is slightly more complicated than "Russia bad," there are no good justifications for this invasion...

So what? That does not make the invasion right, and if you were truly an anti-colonialist and an anti-imperialist, you would not support it.

It is not free speech to parrot a country's propaganda. You are only free to say things that align with the views of the CCP.

Wrong. Stop spreading lies. People criticize and do protests all the time in China.

'Tis very ironic to hear that from you. Protests about trivial things is allowed, what a surprise... Read your own sources next time:

To comply with the government, each individual site privately employs up to 1,000 censors. Additionally, approximately 20,000–50,000 Internet police (wang jing) and Internet monitors (wang guanban) as well as an estimated 250,000–300,000 “50 cent party members” (wumao dang) at all levels of government—central, provincial, and local—participate in this huge effort (Chen and Ang 2011, and our interviews with informants, granted anonymity). China overall is tied with Burma at 187th of 197 countries on a scale of press freedom (Freedom House 2012), but the Chinese censorship effort is by far the largest.

It is pointless to censor all messages when you can just flood everything with wumao posts!

Our stratified sampling design includes the following 85 topic areas chosen from three levels of hypothesized political sensitivity described in the section on data above. Although we allow overlap across topic areas, empirically we find almost none.

High: Ai Weiwei, Chen Guangcheng, Fang Binxing, Google and China, Jon Hunstman, Labor strike and Honda, Li Chengpeng, Lichuan protests over the death of Rao Jianxin, Liu Xiaobo, Mass incidents, Mergen, Pornographic Web sites, Princelings faction, Qian Mingqi, Qian Yunhui, Syria, Taiwan weapons, Unrest in Inner Mongolia, Uyghur protest,Wu Bangguo, Zengcheng protests

How surprising, the most controversial topics like the Uyghur, Mongolia or Taiwan will be censored...

Yeah right, which is why China's system is better because that way you can know who's more competent at which thing and so on and therefore, you can get a more competent country leader than all the mudslinging campaign in liberal democracy.

People in the US government throughout the years such as Biden back in 1997, and former folks, have said this could happen someday due to NATO expansion. Yes I know, there's more to it, and no I'm not so anti-US-Imperialism, that I'm pro-Russian imperialism. Both sides are at fault in what led up to this conflict.

You're misunderstanding me, nobody denies that Azov has nazi roots. I'm in no way denying their neo-nazi fantasies, but the fact they are part of the UA is not a determining factor to tag the current Ukrainian government as Nazi, let alone an entire country and army. The Azov battalion is just a product of the chaos that unfolded in 2014, at the time it's true that the UA had a weak military in every way and whoever was down to hold a gun was more than welcome to do so.

The Azov Batallion is a single brigade, the way you describe it sounds like the entire Ukrainian Armed Forces are composed by the Azov batallion alone, but the Ukrainian Army has 18 brigades of regulars and NG, 3 naval infantry brigades, 10 TDF brigades plus 8 reserve brigades. And for the comfort of any Antifa the Azov ''batallion'' is probably trapped in Mariupol so they are not even combat effective anymore.

There is no way that any western supply is directed to one single battalion trapped deep behind enemy lines.

Who do you think officially made Azov part of the military? It was the government. Azov even said they wanted to overthrow the government yet got that status anyway. Shouldnt it be obviously questionable to give them such a rank when they openly want to overthrow the government? Even if desperate that's an extremely questionable decision which shows they if not for them sure as fuck arent against them. Besides I never said Ukraine's government is Nazi. Avoz is a key role so yeah even though there are others they are pretty central it seems. .


Where are these kids in real combat? Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.

Children make for shit soldiers, modern gear is really heavy. So far I've seen footage of the same summer camps but no actual combat.

So again you're ignoring the removal of age requirments for the military? Not just lowering or raising but entire removal. Do you seriously think it was all for no reason? Again point is the lack of the usual level Western criticism over actions like that not whether or not there is footage of such things as if they are just going to film themselves.

Mounted weapons dont really require strength particularly at least for just firing. Plus there are drone pilots a kid whos played videogames would be ideal in theory.

What about the DPR and LPR, they are Russian, and Russia has other expandable units such as the Chechens so as of now there is no need for their Nazis.

Whataboutism. Moot point. I never said Russia is the better government. I was explaining some of the missing narrative in media.

It's possible the war could have been prevented or possibly be ended if the Ukrainian government just put a vote out were citizens in different regions decide what country they want to belong to. But no it would rather just pass guns around to untrained people to kill themselves with while they block them from leaving the country .

Also I don't? I'm also among the one who protested the CPC when they published the gaming curfew on minors thing. Or have you suffered some dementia? Also by your logic a neoliberal don't have free speech because they parrot whatever the US government says.

How many times do I have to say that Media Bias Fact Check serves the Anglo regime propaganda?

-Radio Free news shits on lots of countries like Russia, China, North Korea, etcetc without reporting anything positive about them=Trustworthy and Factual, Least Biased, High Credibility. Xinhua has not failed any fact check and do shits on US quite a lot, but is labelled as Low Credibility and promoting state propaganda.

-Speaking about propaganda, they also rated WSJ and The Econmist, a literal mouthpiece of the ruling class, with high credibility. The Economist in this regard, has been criticized by Karl Marx himself as the organ of the aristocracy. So yeah, you ABSOLUTELY can't make me aligned with them. Never.

The US will not conquer those countries or ask them to do anything, so this is a lesser evil for them compared to the yoke of USSR. And you should know that almost no country has a true sovereignty today.
The US has been undemocratically depose a country leader and replace them with fascist junta that serves its interests, like what happened with my country Indonesia, and the whole Operation Condor, or recently, the ousting of Imran Khan in Pakistan. Lesser evil? I disagree. The USSR only put down fascist rebels who's been called as "freedom fighters" by the US regime. But of course, the US tried hard to rewrite history, and it mostly succeeded at that. But no, I will not forget.

How surprising, the most controversial topics like the Uyghur, Mongolia or Taiwan will be censored...

Uyghur problem is created by the US to destabilize China, like what they did with my country in Papua.

Taiwan is an occupied province that will be liberated from its occupier soon. Yes, I'm unironically saying that the Donetsk and Lugansk People's Republic has more legitimacy as a country de jure than the occupiers in Taiwan, because the former two has been officially recognized by 1 out of 5 permanent members of the UN, whereas the latter has 0 recognition.

Competent people would not have to change the rules to stay longer in power... Talk about living in a democracy...
What are you talking about?

The two terms rule is stupid. What if most of the people actually liked the leader and want them to have third term? Though yes, I'm also opposed to a lifetime term because someone who's old and senile are unable to properly lead a country anymore. Mao can't handle the rampant corruption of the Gang of Four during his late years, and this is a valuable lesson for us (yes I'm criticizing CPC's former policy of having Mao as a lifetime president, which proves further that I'm not agreeing with everything CPC has done).

I mean, they might be the second or third best unit in the national guard, but I have no idea how internal finances work throughout the Ukrainian armed forces so I won't go into that ''Central'' role argument, and I don't think there is enough evidence to tell they are central at least in order to receive mechanized equipment from Germany, the priority is the Mech Infantry and Tank Brigades. BTW they are encircled anyway.

Also, they're determined idiots, which should be a bad combination but they're still determined idiots, and... They were the most effective unit in 2014 because they integrated most units that stood up, making them official part of the military facilitated communications. You don't waste talent when you really need it.

That being said, Azov probably manage to get private funding which grants them some cool surplus toys.

Azov even said they wanted to overthrow the government yet got that status anyway. Shouldnt it be obviously questionable to give them such a rank when they openly want to overthrow the government?


I agree they have the potential to be a serious problem if they do survive this war.
I don't mean they will definitely start an open rebellion though, they don't have the numbers.

So again you're ignoring the removal of age requirments for the military? Not just lowering or raising but entire removal. Do you seriously think it was all for no reason?

They increased the maximum age, the minimum age still the same 18 years old requirement.

Also, the media misinterpreted this tweet

https://twitter.com/DefenceU/status/1497130688981655552?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw

Translation:

Child soldiers are practically useless at anything except gunning down innocents or other child soldiers. Against a decently-trained force they're pretty much flesh-and-blood marksmanship dummies.

These drones need good communication between the controller and artillery batteries, they also carry ordnance to drop on Russians, no way children are trustworthy for such tasks, also the possibility of public outcry after you realize your drone mate is 14yo is way too big, it would be almost impossible to supress at some point, especially 2 months into the war.

Whataboutism. Moot point. I never said Russia is the better government. I was explaining some of the missing narrative in media.


I was just listing out the Russian expandable forces since they have way too many they don't need the nazis, also their Nazis probably have no combat experience.

Warning : Take this last link with a grain of salt.

Media have biased this is nothing new but we have independent media and open-source intelligence channels available everywhere.

But no it would rather just pass guns around to untrained people to kill themselves with while they block them from leaving the country .


They handed guns to untrained people in Kyiv who wanted to fight, this happens in countries fighting for their own survival especially when you have enemy forces 10 miles from your capital, the regular army did 99% of the job anyway, and they don't need these desperate measures anymore as Russia botched the Blyatzkrieg.

Also, what would've happened if Putin lose the vote? Probably War.

They were the most effective unit in 2014 because they integrated most units that stood up, making them official part of the military facilitated communications. You don't waste talent when you really need it.

That being said, Azov probably manage to get private funding which grants them some cool surplus toys.

I didnt mean finances. I just meant since they trained so much the military relies on them more than they should ever have.

Sadly Azov may have been backed by the US gov or at least indirectly in their meddling.



I agree they have the potential to be a serious problem if they do survive this war.
I don't mean they will definitely start an open rebellion though, they don't have the numbers.


They can overthrow a city at least. But bigger concern I have is terrorism on racial minorities and ethnic Russians in Ukraine.


They increased the maximum age, the minimum age still the same 18 years old requirement.

Also, the media misinterpreted this tweet

https://twitter.com/DefenceU/status/1497130688981655552?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw

Translation:


Hm I see. May have been some misreporting I had seen that failed to go into proper details.



I was just listing out the Russian expandable forces since they have way too many they don't need the nazis, also their Nazis probably have no combat experience.

Warning : Take this last link with a grain of salt.

Media have biased this is nothing new but we have independent media and open-source intelligence channels available everywhere.

Well yes they have one of the strongest militaries.

Yeah not new but never before had I seen such as extreme flip. Prior to 2022 there plenty of reports of the problem with Azov Batallion then total media blackout and blind support for the Ukrainian government and practical worship of Zelensky as a demi-god. It's surreal.



They handed guns to untrained people in Kyiv who wanted to fight, this happens in countries fighting for their own survival especially when you have enemy forces 10 miles from your capital, the regular army did 99% of the job anyway, and they don't need these desperate measures anymore as Russia botched the Blyatzkrieg.

Also, what would've happened if Putin lose the vote? Probably War.

Yes I know why it is happening that way.. just defending land in a country isnt always best choice I was implying not that Im giving any particular opinion there. Im basically saying I care more about people than governments at least when the governments suck.

It's questionable because Putin would have had less excuse to invade if there was a fair vote and if every part of Ukraine wanted to stay. Putin is an iron fisted leader but not stupid. Things also wouldn't as likely have gone this way if Zelensky didnt play along pretending like Ukraine ever had a chance of joining NATO (he's an actor remember that) and only later admitting there was no chance and he was told to make it seem like an open offer. Zelensky just isnt a good leader. He doesnt seem to have a clue on some things such as failing to disarm Azov even though he made some attempt being a Jew and all. Though he's better than had the far right been elected. Besides there is some clear indicators some parts of Ukraine gladly would have joined Russia not because of Putin or just because it's Russia but because Azov having them on edge and wanting proper protection from them the Ukrainian government couldnt provide and also because the whole thing where Russian was removed as an official language so some of these Russian speaking Ukrainians feel oppressed. I cant say for certain but it's reasonable enough some people of some regions would have wanted to either become part of Russia or independent from Ukraine otherwise. I mispoke when i said become part of Russia because I am not sure if that is what I heard or if it's about having a new state from the Eastern part of Ukraine. Regardless I feel it could have helped regardless of results. I dont get the impression Putin would risk getting too close to NATO states. Even if he wanted land he probably doesnt want everything there is because risks that come with it.

Ah right, Scott Ritter is good.

I also follow the news about this crisis on ASB Military and Mangopress Telegram channel. I see that Russian tend to have bigger OSINT in this platform (such as Readovka, etc) but I can't really understand Russian so I didn't join.

lmao this aged well.

Also obligatory reminder if you support Ukraine you're a tool and should seriously put in some time educating yourself.

Honestly fucking sick that most of the western population has been mobilized to give supplication to Ukraine despite most of said western population not even knowing what "Ukraine" was a few months before the war broke out.

To understand the situation you quite literally need a knowledge base of thousands of hours from everything from general philosophy, warfare, statecraft, history [all history] and of course a firm understanding of the geopolitical situation of the world from at least the last 200 years.

Yet what do we get? Governments guiding uneducated zealots to give supplication to Ukraine and it's guardian deity and heroic spirit ----XxDIVINExX---xXKNIGHTxX---xXZELESNKYxX---- HERO OF VIRTUE AND PARAGON OF JUSTICE and unironically trying to push the world into WW3 while they're at it by supporting government spending to arm Ukraine to high hell EVEN MORE and thus drag out the suffering, ensure Ukraine is a debt slave to the west by the wars end and to ensure 90% of Ukraine's infrastructure is completely gone [which is a lovely opportunity for more "emergency loa-*cough* I mean emergency aid" which said emergency aid is already accumulating interest as we speak.

I swear this technological singularity we've entered into in the last few decades is going to be fucked in 100 years time.

We've barely hit the two decade mark and the effect the internet and this explosion in information technology is having is clearly fucking distorting global perception and it only seems to be getting worse.

People need a serious wake up call and to actually dedicate time to educating themselves and grounding themselves in reality.

Care to explain how supporting Ukraine automatically turns you into a tool? Regardless of the Azov battalion, the unreliable info surrounding the Yanukovych coup, the supposedly brewing revanchism between US and Russia since the Cuban missile crisis, the ICBM and ABM shields that resulted in an arms race for a while, and so on, how do you ignore the fact that the sovereignty of a country is at stake when Russia has a very well-established history of trying to eventually annex regions surrounding them by breaking them away and treating them as autonomous zones with puppet establishments that pretty much support their agenda? Does sovereignty not mean a thing to you? Or do you just feel like ukraine is a pawn, so it has to accept its inevitable fate and this is all about the US and Russia? Either way, I feel like you're undercutting the aggressive actions of the Russian government despite hearing Putin voice his intentions openly on several occasions.

It's a bit late and don't have time to go into it again so here's a reply I made to someone else with a few more things added for context.

No concessions have been made to seek out a diplomatic resolution to this issue and instead the west has spent well over a decade constantly encroaching on Russia's doorstep and overthrowing the government of a nation right outside and installing a pro-west leader and also arming said country to high hell with extremely effective and expensive arms.

Which is quite ironic considering the US was doing that same exact thing during the Soviet Invasion of Afghanistan in which the lovely fine resistance fighters called the Mujahideen performed just as admirably as the good old Ukrainians are doing today [and of course giving the mujahideen and now the ukrainians massive stores of high-tech military armaments will never come back to bite the west in the ass, nope, never,].

Now, what does one do when a clearly more powerful entity [the US] that is basically the ring leader of an even larger coalitions of entities that verge on clearly hostile to passive aggressive at best begin basically going into defence treaties with ALL nations on your borders and arming them to high hell with weapons and also taking control of some of their governments with pro-western leaders and also establishing various bases in their territory that may or may not be used against your country?

Well, as any good leader would say, the first step is to take a diplomatic approach and clearly call them out for what they are doing and acknowledge the game they are playing and try to reach some sort of middle ground in which the west would stop entering into defence treaties that would easily result in a potential WW3 if anything if remotely minor took place and also stop from arming said entities with high tech weapons.

What does the west do? Much in the same fashion of asking the Japanese for unconditional surrender in WW2 [which forced them into an even deeper ditch and caused even more problems for the world at large] the west also decided not to compromise with Russia and completely ignored any and all attempts at a political resolution to a clear threat to Russia's national security.

Now, you may say "Well the west clearly has different definitions of what is and what isn't a threat to national security and in the west's case the actions of Russia are unjustified aggression and cannot be compromised with!"

The US as do ALL nations fundamentally follow the same ideas of national security and the EXACT same situation as we are seeing right now took place during the Cuban Missile crisis and the overall tension with the Soviets and the only difference is that the role of Russia in this Ukraine situation is the US in the Cuban crisis.

Cuba was a puppet of the Soviet Union positioned extremely close to the US mainland and being supplied by Soviet weapons, a threat to the US.

Ukraine is a puppet of the west positioned extremely close to the Russian mainland and being supplied by western weapons, a threat to Russia.

Both of these countries are justified in the use of military action in the event all diplomatic attempts fail and the fact so many people seem to be constantly parroting each other that this is some "unprovoked" and "aggressive conquest" by Russia are honestly in no position to be giving any type of informed opinion on the situation.

Diplomatic means were attempted, failed, attempted, failed time and time again and with the US and NATO's historic attitude of giving no type of middle-ground when it comes to settling disputes and instead loving to back other nations into a corner be it via debt bondage for those less well-off and or extremely underhanded and vindictive veiled passive aggression against powers like Russia which despite their failing are still trying their best to transform into a more "western" power [which cannot be said for China] the idea of this no compromise approach has almost always lead to more bloodshed and problems be it with Japan, Vietnam, the middle east and now Ukraine the west without a doubt caused this.

Russia is well aware of how much damage a group of untrained militants can do when provided with thousands of Javelins by the US and allies [cough soviet invasion of Afghanistan cough] and without a doubt wouldn't of invaded Ukraine if Ukraine vowed to STOP receiving said THOUSANDS of Javelins and every other high tech military armament in the book on top of housing foreign bases, cozying up to said passive aggressive/straight hostile foreign powers and instead pledging complete neutrality.

But nope, no compromise from the west and when the invasion finally does take place the absolute narcissistic ego maniac with a hero complex Zelensky decides to sacrifice his entire nation, people, infrastructure all of it into a unwinnable war.

When all diplomatic attempts fail military action in an attempt to secure a nations national security is 100% justified as seen in the US's case and any idea of "sovereignty" is irrelevant when Ukraine clearly allied with hostile foreign powers and did everything it could to make the situation worse [and is STILL doing everything it can do make the situation worse, as we speak].

Make sure to buy yourself a Zelenskyy (a guy whose existence you were totally aware of before the war started) Funko POP! He's the superhero fighting against the evil Poutine, who literally eats Ukrainian babies. The telly said so!
