stephenthinkpad posted:Why should the US continue push east ward in Eastern Europe, and cut into Russia's ever shrinking pie though? This position is so stupid in 2020. Russia isn't just russia, its the former USSR, and its got the missiles to prove it. Most of the geopolitical stuff the US has been involved in since the wall came down has either been resource looting, or destabilizing regions that are not yet available to be looted. They "won" the cold war and they have what to show for it? Shock doctrine Russia and multiple failed* military projects to maintain the petrodollar? American adventurism was in the process of more or less winding down under Obama, they were securing what they already had. Trump let a lot of that global power poo poo slide cos he'd rather try and murder people at home. Where does that leave the biden admin? Well, I wouldn't put it past them to try a new military adventure, this would be unlikely to get broad support at home. I'd imagine it'll be sabre rattling at worst for the next couple of years. America is broken and its falling to the democrats to do triage but I don't think they realise that yet. *Not completely, they've kept the oil supply controlled, they have served to maintain combat readiness in the armed forces and moved a lot of public money into the right pockets. They also keep Israel and the gulf states happy.

stephenthinkpad posted:I have followed the Russia discussion in the last few pages. My 2 cents, I don't think Russia's political and economic policies will change that much post Putin, regardless how high can Navalny climb in his career. The fundamental problem with this is that you are assuming rational action on behalf of the actors involved. If the russian authorities can shut navalny up over the next year the dems will forget about him while his sits in a jail cell. He's a patsy and everyone knows it. There will be a new attempted coup/military intervention by america sometime in the next 2 years at the latest and thats where the news cycle will go. Ofc this depends upon the next year with coronavirus and whether or not a truly worse again variant starts ripping through the civilian population. Navalny gets out when bidens out of office and he will be a shell of a man. I would be massively surprised if he somehow avoids coronavirus in a russian prison.

stephenthinkpad posted:edit: taking a quick look at the Pfizer country list, I think almost all of them have US military bases. Also HK is getting some Pfizer but it's through a greater Chinese market licensing deal and the vaccine is not branded as "Pfizer". gradenko_2000 posted:This doesn't really make much sense when you consider that the US hasn't been exporting Pfizer doses to ANYONE, but propaganda is strong, and this particular incident is chalked up as the ONE SINGULAR REASON to as to why our vaccina procurement is so bad. This is not to say that our Health secretary probably did gently caress up the paperwork, but it's very difficult to believe that we'd have millions of Pfizer doses by now even if he did everything right. Huh, its outside the scope of the thread but interesting to me as I'm a local, but Ireland is not on that list. Pfizer (appears to be) extraordinarily hard to get, but Ireland has 150K doses coming in from the US every week as of last month. Its pretty suspicious. Pfizer have a big manufacturing plant here (they don't seem willing to manufacture it outside the US) and they are also being allowed to privately innoculate employees and their families. (Private inoculation was stated as not happening and everyone would receive their shots from the govt, on a list of least to most vulnerable.) I guess its just a sop to Ireland from US big business and the Biden white house - Since you know the brits didn't send the AZ they promised (Surprise surprise.) Edit: I wonder how much more money laundering we will be doing for them. Southpaugh has issued a correction as of 18:35 on May 4, 2021 |

America doesn't want the status quo on the korean peninsula to change. Unified korea is another germany to deal with and NK is a convenient target for sabre rattling and hard looks when you want to change a narrative.

Well no it wouldn't be the same, because China, unlike the USSR would probably still exist in the world where Korea unifies.

mila kunis posted:chinese bourgeoisie getting increasingly pissed, as the mournful messages from my loaded fuerdai friend can attest to. i wonder if there's a way for them to team up with international capital to take a crack at the CPC, or do a capital strike as happened with the keynesians. maybe the commanding heights being under state control renders them resilient to it The answer is "Continue to eat poo poo".
