In contra to you I am simply analyzing a war situation. Independent of wrong and right since it is needless to state that Putin started this war. What you and the "comedian" in Kiev are doing - stating, is pure Goebbels rhetoric. The normal Ukrainian or Russian farmer or clerk has no say in...

Many Chinese and foreigners including myself, only wear a mask indoors. Just doesn't make sense wearing them outside unless there is a larger congregation. Which in the first photo is obviously happening ..hm.. :rolleyes:

Let's hope so - just a day ago again a new imported variant has been detected - and usually Beijing starts to act in the known manner in such a case. And again it starts off in bars and airports - this time it seems to be an illegally operated "enjoyment" place.

I might be very wrong since I have not been to that part of the world. (North-Africa) - aside as a tourist to Tunisia. 1st. Morocco is AFAIK the only USA friendly nation in the entire African continent - not so sure about Kenya though. 2nd. Algeria's government isn't viewed favorably by the USA...

Russia clearly has an advantage on that part No issue in Southern Ukraine or Western Russia Presently both suck and are facing a stalemate ? I don't see that on either side Russian combat forces all along the front line - just as the Ukrainians, and both vast parts of their Armed Forces...

Not really - the times are over (since about 2010) that government run companies are "over-employing" in order to make general stats look favorable. If they are young people (up to 30) - they basically stay with their families and try to work mostly part-time in the service industry. Between the...

Algeria versus Morocco? Ahh... clearly Morocco, since the USA will back them, no matter what.

What makes you so sure? I think that NATO is forwarding/highlighting this as a "saber rattling" issue, because they clearly wouldn't be able to react in whatever way. NATO failed miserably in regards to preventing Putin from attacking again in 2022. Now they are talking about 300,000 men rapid...

The last thing I would worry about is Xi's health and personal security issues. But he must be again under tremendous pressure within the CCP and it's factions. I really wouldn't want to take on his job.

The trade war isn't really killing jobs - not to any significant extend. - see trade balance of China, which is very good. The issue is that the Chinese government has IMO not taken recognizable steps towards encouraging the local domestic spending. Aside from property being bought by the...

Okay, my bad, I was already getting used to your hundreds of thousands and millions starving in China :) I have no idea about SMIC's portfolio - as for Samsung, I wouldn't know off any of my Chinese or Foreigner associates/friends having an e.g. Samsung i-phone. Also in regards to Chinese...

You mean: Multiple Round Simultaneous Impact? I am not sure - but in the case of using the Krasnopol-M projectile - there wouldn't be a need for it since every projectile guides itself independently. Maybe, but it seems more likely that a "reunification" might take place - as such giving Putin...

Hundreds of thousands??? were do you get your figures from? A friend of mine (Singaporean) is running a company in Suzhou that used to be a prime supplier to Samsung Suzhou and Samsung Huizhou till 2019. Samsung Huizhou in 1999 had at it's highest peak around 5000 workers and in 2015 less then...

There are no Samsung owned manufacturing plants in China - but a Chinese company manufacturing parts for Samsung solely for the Chinese market. I would agree with @xizhimen, that chances for the Biden administration to chancel most if not all add on taxes is rather high. Have you been to the...

I don't think that the UK is indebted to China - so take their view into account The China-backed Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB), viewed as a rival to the World Bank and Asian Development Bank, was formally established on Friday, has recently been formally established and is...

You don't seem to get the meaning of "strategic" weapons.

Since Samsung isn't producing in China anymore - but e.g. from Vietnam, then it would be Vietnam's economy that suffers from higher interest rates in the USA. ;) Basically higher interest rates in the USA means, that they become even more reliant on cheap or affordable goods - e.g. from China...

Well as people say, anything is better then nothing. Krab or even a PzH2000 aren't game changers - The Russians have the same system capability and far higher numbers e.g. the 2S19M1 self-propelled howitzer that can also fire Krasnopol-M guided projectiles. The USA has raised the stakes towards...

Deutscher Bund - and Austria, nothing to do with Prussian domination - since that was already a given issue since 1762. The 7 weeks war of 1866 had already ex-pulsed Austria from a foreseeable Deutsches Reich.Bismarck did not want Austria due to the foreseeable complication of it's Eastern...

That is a good question, but before getting a possible answer onto this, one needs to understand as to where the term German derives from. Since it is a Latin term incorporated into the English language causing as such a lot of confusion. In order to have a simple differentiation for the Romans...
