, the US is actually ahead of Europe in terms of 5G IP.
US 17.75% vs Europe 15.59%, if this is what you mean by "ahead".

All this kind of statistics must be read very carefully and may not reflect the truth because there may be different "truths". One thing is "IP being more applicable to a specific region or country" such as mmWave which is a US thing with little adoption outside US. US companies have very high portion of their IPs in this area does not make them leaders in 5G global. Just look at the 3G and 4G, US eventually abandoned their 4G standard adopting European 4G. Same happened to Japan's 2G attempt. Those American and Japanese IPs never had any impact outside home.

The IP must be measured against their adoption ratio in the world market. Now if you break down this 17.75% into world IP and US-exclusive IP, the ranking may turn around.

Jokes on whoever believed the Indian and FLG crap

Some clowns have no idea that it's usually FLG that initiates such disinformation, including the "yearly collapse" of the Three Gorges Dam.

Depth charge or mine? How is the explosive attached?
I guess you can use explosive attached to ROV (remotely operated underwater vehicle). However, quite a bit of explosive has to be used because the pipeline is rather sturdy.

I'm not sure if this is true.

Solomon Islands is not impressed by Australia.

Russia has an economy the size of UK and furthermore, Russia's role was never to be a gdp tank anyways. Russia is a resource bank for the East, and it remains just as functional in that role now as ever.
UK does not have economy of Russia. Russia generated $300b to $500b trade surplus that is reinvested in high end R&D that it does not need to sell. which whole EU cannot manage. Mortgage debt is only 10% of GDP.
UK is completely buried in debt.
Sacrificing EU for Russia is a terrible trade. It would be a victory if you're not looking at the fact that US isn't challenging Russia. Its challenging China, who goes unscathed out of this.
EU is not sacrificed it is better managed to serve US interests. EU goes down. most of its R&D potential will move towards US.
who is more depended on Airbus? US or China.
but even bigger favor that US has done is make Europe more depended on Middleast. whether its Aviation/ Suez canal/ Africa or just energy. historically Middleast is biggest buyer after Pentagon. and with new found wealth there lobbying power will exponentially increase.
do you think Japan can talk too much about renewables when 97% of its crude imports are from Arabic countries now.

Due to the Chinese concept of face, mianzi, we are likely to see a puppet Xi that is given a third term and keep all his titles, for the sake of appearances. His policies will appear to be implemented, and he may give speeches or travel to meet world leaders, but as a PLA puppet. When nothing happens on the news you'll see I'm right.
I assume this clandestine combined arms operation was undertaken by the Ghost of Taipei and Pelosi?

Looking across the Chinese netizens comments I came across this incident. Apparently, CIA blew up Soviet gas pipeline to Western Europe in 1982.

The sheer hypocrisy of US claiming that China puts backdoors on its products. If this is not a warning for any future buyers of US technology for mission-critical uses, I don't know what is. Nord Stream may not be destroyed by Mk 48s afterall.

Japan bids farewell to former prime minister Paramount Leader, Eternal God Emperor Shinzo Abe at controversial state funeral


View attachment 98340

"Saraba, Abe-sama! Banzai! Banzai! Banzai!"


... I had to debate with myself not to mock the person's own funeral, but they're not making it easy.
If Germany had a Abe-esque Prime Minister, there would be immense outrage, for obvious reasons. Meanwhile, western media shows their hypocrisy by glorifying Abe like he was a saint. As long as you're a US asset/buffer state against their enemies, they'll let anything slide.
