Declare war on Germany Poland, you know you want to.
i think Germany should negotiate with Poland and print 1.3T Euros. There is no point sacrificing for Ukraine without settled issues with Poland.
Western EU already paid too big price after 1990 for integrating Eastern EU.
bailouts, climate damages, dependency on China, lack of life expectancy improvement showing up in Germanic world.

I hear other Asians say all Chinese in the US should be kicked out and supporting white hate towards Chinese. Before it wasn't consider a hate crime because it was Asians saying it about Asians. Now it can be considered a hate crime. Watch out Hong Kongers and Taiwanese.
That won't happen because Chinese are the "enemy" and Indians are not.

A price ceiling is very command economy isn't it? Bit communist if you ask me.
Not at all. The US did price controls before. They don't call it 'communism' when they were the ones doing it. Here are some examples:

), imposing a 90-day freeze on wages and prices in order to counter inflation. This was the first time the U.S. government had enacted wage and price controls since World War II.

All democracies do price controls at some point in their history. The Indian government is quite famous for instituting price controls. Associating price controls to 'communism' is a capitalist Red Scare nonsense. The rich capitalists hate price controls for obvious reasons. It limits profiteering, and limits price speculation, so that only the wealthy can afford scarce commodities.

What the West is trying to do, is to impose imperialism on Russia. What they want is to dictate to Russia, the price that it can sell its energy. Their aim is to make Russia suffer a revenue hit, so that its economy can no longer sustain the Ukraine war like before. They hope that this might make Russia lose the Ukraine war. They even mentioned this whole agenda out loud. But the West has no actual leverage over Russian energy exports. So why the hell is Russia gonna agree to Western price cap diktat if their intention is to destroy the Russian nation in the long term?

Japan will most likely take part if Taiwan Strait conflict breaks out​

Vice president of Japan's ruling party says Japanese islands could see combat in cross-strait conflict​

If Taiwan is dragged into a cross-strait conflict, Japan is likely to join, Aso Taro, vice president of Japan's ruling Liberal Democratic Party, said on Wednesday (Aug. 31).
Speaking at a Liberal Democratic Party seminar in Yokohama, Aso said that if Taiwan responds to a Chinese attack, it is likely that Yonaguni Island in Okinawa Prefecture and Yoronjima Island in Kagoshima Prefecture will become combat zones and there is a high possibility of war in these areas, according to The Nikkei.
During a fundraising party in July, Aso said, "If a major problem took place in Taiwan, it would not be too much to say that it could relate to a survival-threatening situation (for Japan)," according to
