It's funny that they believe that they have a "hometown", if none of the people in your hometown think you belong there, it's not your hometown.
Nepal liberated itself yet as always there are always some Sepoys who still unironically believe their masters are worth lifting a finger for. I someday they'll come to their senses and gut their masters like the Sikhs did.

Lolwut, Credit Suisse is openly robbing 16 billion swiss francs from their debtors. That's basically calling up people with their money deposited in the bank one morning saying "guess what? I don't own you any money!"

This along with “bail ins” are naturally going to result in bank runs.

Did you know the US tries to stop its own citizens from fleeing the country? How very 'north korean' of them!!

And you believe normal people in the US will use Tik Tok on a browser? They will quickly switch to Instagram Reels like India has. Instagram reels is super popular in India now thanks to Tik Tok Ban.

Instagram reels doesn't have the TikTok recommendation algorithm.

People spend far more time on TikTok than anything else.

Bravo for these sophisticated consumers for refusing to accept mediocrity.

Tik Tok also does a far better job marketing and organizing content creators. When they were just getting started in the US and were considered a joke / copy cat, they ran viral marketing campaigns that took the scene by storm. Like the content or not, they understood their market and got to the heart of what Generation Z wanted. This is generally a skill new generation Chinese media companies are super strong at. Sure, their technology is great too. But the marketing department is what set them on another level to American technology companies.

You can also see examples of this in Shein and Temu, though those companies are helped out more by China's cost advantage. Regardless, I'm pretty sure Chinese companies are just better than American companies at selling to the new generation and the Americans don't "get it" - that's why they turn to banning everything, because they can't compete.

Yeah. There are like 3 Yasen submarines. And the first one is not even that good being basically the first and only of its type. If they are that concerned about the cruise missiles, wait until the Kalibr-M for it comes out with 4,500km range. The current Kalibr has only 2,500km range.

Once the PLAN has sufficient numbers of 093 SSNs, they should consider doing the same off Guam and Honolulu. But use the older 093s and 093As for the mission - Leave the newer and better toys closer to home.

It seems North Korea have their own Poseidon nuclear torpedo now

Click to expand...

Did Russia provide the technology to North Korea in order to develop such nuclear torpedoes?!

If so, then China better get her own Poseidon variants. Preferably, one smaller, conventional variant for ultra-long range anti-ship and anti-sub strike missions, and one bigger, strategic variant for nuclear strike missions against enemy coastal cities.

Another issue would be the launch platforms - Especially for the strategic variant, does China need a special class of SSN to carry them like the Khabarovsk-class? Or use large UUVs to carry them? Or even launch them straight from the Chinese shorelines?

Is this perhaps due to China's whole-of-society adoption of technology? China's digital literacy or savviness isn't age stratified. For example, even lots of grandpa and grandmas avidly use and follow each other on Douyin. This results in a more comprehensive and advanced tech community and ecosystem. China's business people, used to that environment, might simply have a much better grasp of what the world's "digital generation" wants.

Hoo boy, Netanyahu you better pray those lobbying cheques cash out or you will be in trouble:
Although if he's couped, the next administration might be more willing to settle peace with Iran.

That white house stooge has no idea how ironic that statement is.

You do not survive acute heart disease by going down in weight. Imagine your heart does not have enough oxygen and is actively dying so you start losing weight like lmao how will that stop you from dying or getting irrecoverable heart damage within a few days?

Going on the treadmill when you have an infarction perfectly encapsulates the stupidity and futility of the attempts to fight from the US ruling class, which are uneducated and culturally incapable of both intelligent reasoning and creativity.

America is solely surviving off the fact that the Chinese government has not yet begun an all of society response against America's all of society response, which has been going on for several years without clear results. When China moves on them, America will need to accept that being the number 2 is basically everything that matters, they bit off more than they can chew challenging China's position.

Yup, once China does the "rug pull" its game over for USA... People have no idea how overleveraged and fragile USA really is, truly humanity's greatest house of cards ponzi pyramid scheme...

China probably was holding back and wanted to give US a more managed decline because a desperate injured animal in a corner could lash out, but with all the crap the US has done lately, nord, cough cough and other stuff, this is forcing China to start pulling the rug much much sooner

Netanyahu imo seems more friendly with China, his replacement PMs so far have been all US lackeys, Netanyahu having an independent foreign policy is a boon to China.
