My favorite genre of journalism: other countries’ journalists writing about the US the same way the US writes about their countries. I’m just sad they didn’t dredge up some “America expert” who’s never been to the US and doesn’t speak English to call for mass balkanization of the country followed by conspiracy theory screeds for the extra flavor.
I’m sure he’ll think real hard about what he’s done on the way home. Maybe even dry his tears with the truckloads of money and munitions Harris is complicit in handing him without reservation to commit genocide with.
A gaggle of particle physicists standing in a circle chanting “RING! WORLD! RING! WORLD!”
You won’t be able to drive them on the road unless the DoT has done safety testing on that specific model of car. You can own one, you’re just not going to be able to put plates on it or get it insured.
Their sluggish state-owned enterprises which merely build 10,000km of high speed rail in 5 years, compared to our innovate, profit-driven corporations which have laid 7km of high speed rail in 20 years.
Presumably there are enough sane Ukrainian officials left to not want to wake up to nuclear hellfire.
While I wouldn’t put it past Google/YouTube to do something as shitty as this, I think people are far too quick to assume foul play over the much more likely possibility that the world’s largest video platform occasionally shits itself.
The US once again going through a dozen Suez Canal crises all at once, each one somehow more cartoonishly stupid than the last.
At this point I feel like if you want to radicalize someone just point them to a picture of that barely-welded-together mess and tell them their tax money went towards that to the tune of $320 million.
China will be sending sleeper ships to Alpha Centauri to colonize new worlds before the US finishes demolishing the ruins of the Baltimore bridge.
Never would’ve happened. Western capital saw the vast natural wealth of the Soviet bloc the way a starving wolf sees a steak, and were never going to allow the new Russian bourgeoisie to join the West as equals. When it became clear that Russia wasn’t going to sell itself out to foreign capital, the West responded by violating every agreement they’d made with Yeltsin to bring about the end of the USSR and isolating them.
Not that I’d ever expect a Western journalist to actually research anything they print, but tanks have always been vulnerable to artillery. The supposed invulnerability of the Abrams/Challenger came from the fact that they never saw combat against a peer military until Ukraine, and now that they have eaten a precision barrage or three they turn out to be just another tank.
The goat pastures call to us all.
Just comical amounts of racism. I guess it’s only fitting that the US chase the braindrain it relies on to drive any productive sectors it hasn’t outsourced back to their home countries as it spirals into imperial decline.
The issue is that profit-driven hospitals will look at a model that can greatly assist in diagnosing certain things and go “Cool, we can fire those specialists and have some pre-med run the model and make an accurate diagnosis”.
Poyekhali!
So 6 years to project start. Then just a few more years for completion. All in we are looking to a decade out for project completion +/- a few years.
And to think, this is outright slow compared to internal Chinese infrastructure projects. Meanwhile in the US we’d kill someone to get some basic infrastructure built in under a decade.
Don’t forget waking up a month or two later and realizing that you no longer care about the subject you’ve been hyperfocusing on and now have no idea what to do with yourself until the next hyperfixation shows up.
I nearly had a heart attack until I read the word “ARM” at the end.
It seems like ARM Arch is doomed for whatever reason.
Continued use of the swastika in his military and a stubborn refusal to acknowledge how many Soviets the Finns starved to death in Leningrad while working with the Third Reich, presumably.
