Who owns the app that gets the location data of every illegal immigrant? Maye they do know the Streisand effect.
Unipolary didn’t have strict rules either.
Neither is convenient for me because there will be a very inconvenient war. It’s just that people only count when there is an election, and then they only count as a manipulatable resource. Otherwise nobody in power cares about what people want.
You are right about your expectations about future wars. It’s time to come up with something to make a better future.
12·4 days agoSure. Unfortunately that’s not what counts. Also history is more complicated and doesn’t start in 2014.
Wang was said to have given Kallas – the former Estonian prime minister who only late last year took up her role as the bloc’s de facto foreign affairs chief – several “history lessons and lectures”.
Ukraine seems to be more of a unipolar project than a multipolar project. The important part is the last part of the last sentence.
David C. Hendrickson, in his article in Foreign Affairs on November 1, 1997, saw the core of the book as the ambitious strategy of NATO to move eastward to Ukraine’s Russian border and vigorously support the newly independent republics of Central Asia and the Caucasus, which is an integral part of what Hendrickson said could be called a “tough love” strategy for the Russians. Hendrickson considers “this great project” to be problematic for two reasons: the “excessive expansion of Western institutions” could well introduce centrifugal forces into it; moreover, Brzezinski’s “test of what legitimate Russian interests are” seems to be so strict that even a democratic Russia would probably “fail”.

Of course there can also be wars in the multipolar world. But there are enough started by the US that peace seems to be secondary.
The US wants to stay the hegemon but China is advancing technology faster than the US. The conflict is about the multipolar world. Unfortunately the US, and the EU, haven’t explained why they don’t want to be part of a multipolar world.
we should create such a society
The problem is that nobody knows how.
Wang hasn’t said it. He almost said the opposite. Please check my other comment for details.
They don’t have those plans. That’s insinuated to distract from what the minister actually said and implied.
I have poined this out in the other post: https://feddit.org/post/15221478
This article is slightly misleading if compared with the SCMP article which has big implications on understanding the global power dynamics. Draw your own conclusions.
SCMP:
Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi told the European Union’s top diplomat on Wednesday that Beijing does not want to see a Russian loss in Ukraine because it fears the United States would then shift its whole focus to Beijing, according to several people familiar with the exchange.
vs
As the war in Ukraine drags on, Wang’s reported comments suggest that Russia’s war in Ukraine may serve China’s strategic needs as focus is deviated away from Beijing’s mounting preparation to launch its own possible invasion into Taiwan.
It’s subtle, but the attack on Taiwan is an interpretation. The minister means something else.
If the economic development continues, Taiwan will want to join China. Thus the focus of the US is interpreted differently by China, more like the focus Iraq or Afghanistan received.
SCMP:
During a marathon four-hour debate on a wide range of geopolitical and commercial grievances, Wang was said to have given Kallas – the former Estonian prime minister who only late last year took up her role as the bloc’s de facto foreign affairs chief – several “history lessons and lectures”.
Some EU officials felt he was giving her a lesson in realpolitik, part of which focused on Beijing’s belief that Washington will soon turn its full attention eastward, two officials said. One interpretation of Wang’s statement in Brussels is that while China did not ask for the war, its prolongation may suit Beijing’s strategic needs, so long as the US remains engaged in Ukraine.
vs
that they believed Wang was providing Kallas with a lesson in realpolitik during the four-hour encounter.
No mentioning of the “history lessons and lectures”, which is a friendlier way of saying that he has referenced past behavior that suggest that the EU is in the wrong.
There seems to be ignorance about what is going to happen even right at the top of the EU. The Chinese minister is calling bullshit. Yet Kallas must have already known better.
Yes, go on from there. Shit happened. What will be next?
and the only way toward freedom is a society were it is not so extreme.
That is not a way. Who should create the society?
OP argued that there are no resources left. Well, then that’s the way till the robots make humans unnecessary.
If people want to get out, they have to do something. Don’t work harder, consume smarter. Not the poorest have to start but those who make two vacations per year. Spend that money wisely and grow from there.
Thanks for the song.
Bullshit without linking the studies.
It’s also a muddy case whether the statements are about the existance of people or all people.
Some people run on facts, others on emotions. They have to be convinced differently.
An AI isn’t gonna judge you,
Guess what is happening with that chat history.
People don’t have the resources to make decisions based on whats best
People have still more than many others on the world. Illegal immigrants have less, and they have to pay off their traffickers.
This mindset is a prison. The people have the power, they are just sure that they don’t have it. A beautiful display of mind control.
So we wait until billionaires change?
What do the billionaires buy that pollutes nature that much?
The pollution comes from millions of cars, chemicals for products like clothing and intense agriculture so that everybody can eat some form of meat.
Billionaires allow us to feel helpless while we could agree with our neighbors to reduce the ecological footprint of society to a minimum.
You don’t send your best troops into a position they can’t get out of if you don’t expect results.
They sent like 3 helicopters of their best looking soldiers. Why wouldn’t they try, at least it binds Ukrainian attention? But it’s muddy. To me it doesn’t look like a serious attack. They were also retreating at the same time as there was the peace treaty and the claim is that the retreat was part of the deal. I will judge that when the cloak of war is gone.
The joined military exercises, the advisers, the defence lines and the time it took to take Grozny. That requires a level of ignorance by the Russians that is very unlikely.
But even if they expected an easy victory, does that change that Ukraine is used to undermine and ultimately conquer Russia?
Russia was always going to push something to the point where other nations wouldn’t let them anymore. It’s not like Ukraine is the first sovereign nation they’ve invaded.
No. They used conflicts to prevent Nato expansions at their borders. Which souvereign nation do you have in mind?
Iraq, Libya, Syria. How can the West throw stones? I can understand and accept why we fight those wars. But without discussing the true motives we have essentially given up on our democracy while spreading democracy.
They are still purchasing it,
They are not purchasing it directly. Germany is paying for a war that is against their strategic advantage while handing over profits to other countries.
which is dumb because it increases they amount the need to spend in Ukraine
Russia won’t go broke. If Russia loses, China is next. China will always send enough money.
Gas is a liquid commodity. Russia could export to Algeria and Libya and they export their own gas to the EU. The more complicated the more costs. Russia will always sell gas and the EU will always import gas.
I think 2027 capacity will be there and Russia will be out. How much money was that for Russia? I don’t think that changed the war but immensely helped the EU.
20% from Russia are 300 TWh. At 30 Euro per MWh that’s 9 billion Euro.
This only increases costs for the EU and moves industries to other countries.
That’s dumb, especially since Germany could still use North Stream. Cui bono again.
11·9 days agoFind another way to motivate people and you can create a company with those values and have it.
What do you want to be there?
Unfortunately that’s the what. How do you gain the power to implement such a society?
