Me too, I just hope to see the USD dethroned during my lifetime. If Michael Hudson is right, the entire US military machine that runs on the fact USD is the global reserve currency, would crumble with it.

This is an old article. I asked the Marxist economist Michael Roberts for the next recession blog about it, but he said IMF numbers do not confirm what is being said here, so cautious with the optimism.

Wait...hold on... "In short, the Pentagon has a system, and the public should trust it, the argument goes"

That the same Pentagon which can't track trillions of "lost" dollars?

I was watching Mearsheimer at Piers Morgan (I know) the other day and he was criticizing and blaming the US for massive war crimes of intentionally targeting and killing Japanese civilians in WW2.

Piers asks for an example of an army that didn’t target civilians when faced with existential threat and Mearsheimer responds with, and I kid you not, Red Army and the Soviet Union.

I guess it’s “comrade Mearsheimer” now?

It seems to me US wants to “transfer knowledge” from TSMC, and they know it, so they are intentionally talking Chinese and bullying them with no intention of giving up their trade secrets to Americans.

What the hell? This article is so wild and TSMC is so “satanic” I actually felt sorry for the American workers.

Singaporean ex-diplomat said in one video…paraphrase: “The US is famous for 2 things, hating the Chinese and the Muslims. Now you expect us to believe they care so much about Chinese Muslims???” (laugh)

Ah, so the US says "free market" competition is bad now. It's like the "free market" thing, thrown around by the Collective West for all these decades, and even enforced by brutal methods, was a total scam all along. I am totally shocked...

Also it's totally fine for a white American to fly way over there, to lecture the Chyneese how they are doing "the economy" wrong, while China is outperforming the entire G7...totally acceptable. I swear to god, how the Chinese can go through this, without just returning her head in a box to White House, Shogun style, is amazing in itself.

Frankly, that sounds terrifying.

I believe that's perfectly normal.

I've read a scientific piece which claimed that actually everyone has dreams regularly. It's just that you normally don't remember them. Sometimes, if you are waken up at a particular moment, you might remember them, but otherwise you would not. So it's nothing to worry about at least...

On the other hand, I had a date once, who claimed she actually lives an actual 2nd life in her dream world, every single night, and remembers absolutely everything about it. Now that is something unusual...but she was also...let's just say "unusual" in her 1st life, so who knows what was going on there...

It seems like the Germans are claiming Americans forgot to turn on the IFF (If Friend or Foe) system and failed to inform anyone else about the drone...

My family lives nearby and I was also there 30+ years ago in socialism. The run down look is a result of capitalism. Thanks to capitalism, people just don't have enough money to maintain their buildings properly. This hasn't been maintained since the end of socialism. The urban planning of these blocks is still much better than present day for-profit construction.
