i am doing my part by being smart-ass on the internet

I’m afraid you’re not even bothering to prepare for that.

Me? No, I am not. But considering there is an ocean between me and United states, I suspect I wouldn't be big help, prepared or not.

I mean really, where do these legends come from? I have tried to make chatgpt sort through single document and present clear organized data, present in the document, into sorted table. It can't reliably do that. How would it do any kind of complex task? That is just laughable.

They would just create a martyr.

Which would lead to some civil unrest and they would just start shooting at people using live ammo.

I am afraid they are perfectly ready for that.

So, no wars, got it.

finally. it took you some time, but better late than never. you are the only one talking about wars as if it means something.

angry ceo threatens to close his grocery chain... well, that will show them 😂

Competition is good for the consumer.

except what is happening now is not really any kind of fair competition. the european manufacturers exported they know-how to china, which was strategic failure, it was stolen, and now it is sold back to us with the advantage of cheap chinese production.

they will ruin our production and we will be in a similar situation where we were during covid, when the political leadership were saluting the china cargo airplanes on tarmac, otherwise it would not bring us masks, syringes, or any other stuff whose production we had given up and outsourced to china

unless we turn the ship around quite soon, we will be regretting it soon and for a long time.

You’ ve been explained this whole scenario years ago when Putin was pushing for Europe from Lisbon to Vladivostok.

That was EU chance to get dirt cheap energy and raw materials.

what?

China would love so much to rule the world, that’s why it hasn’t entered any war in the past 40+ years

the global south are happy to enter the comparably advantageous economic deals

are they happy? and are the deals advantageous? can you back up your claims? 😂

As for “dictator”, look at the approval rates of Xi in China

oh yes, the approval rating of a dictator in a dictatorship is very valid metric 😂. (hint hint: they are irrelevant even if they were not fixed. any kind of approval rating bears zero relevance to whether the country is a totalitarian state or not, or whether the country is a threat to its neighbours or not).

it’s not exclusively Russia to blame

of course. the poor russia was forced to attack the neigbouring country. fuck off, troll.

there is no such thing as "sphere of influence" you are entitled to. your country end at your borders.

thank you, good luck to you! 🛩️

thank you, good luck to you and everyone else! ✈️
