The worst thing is that they took this long to do these sanctions. We should be sanctioning the shit out of Russia and not contribute to Putin's murder rampage.
The intrinsic arc of utter corruption culminates in economic turmoil and ultimately the art of scapegoating. As the English politician realises that all the foreign labourers have been chased off and that they can't just prop the economy up on ill gotten gains from foreign lands, that they must ultimately direct the ire of the masses inward.
Are you per chance a secret Chinese spy? Who knows?! Perhaps you are one, especially if you're a member of the opposition party! Seen any red flags lately, hmmmmmm?!? Perhaps you like to dabble in electronics, like a little bit of maths, do we??!?!? Even in our own party?!?!? Moderate?!? You mean... possible collaborator...
McCarthy should be proud. The world was changed forever, and even though it makes no sense, most likely it's the socialists, libertarians and anarchists who will be blamed, along with black and brown people, the gypsy, the jew, muslims, hindus and even possibly christians, whoever fits the bill, as hungry and angry masses are directed towards a new common enemy.
It's the release valve of the leading class, the dog the elites can blame for hot air, it's the scapegoat.
I don't understand, the CCP has stated multiple times that sanctions has had multiple beneficial effects on Chinese firms such as Huawei, causing them to become more independent and effective in the face of adversity. Why stop now?
Funny how economy was supposed to be a tool for humanity and civilization. Instead it has become the purpose. Humanity's well being and civilizations are now secondary to a healthy economy.
Define "healthy" economy? Would you say the USA & Europe are "healthy" economies? Would you agree that poverty, a constantly increasing wealth gap and access to affordable housing, medicine and education are some factors that define an economy's "health" ?
I found this part interesting: ""We were unprepared for that kind of response," Philippine navy spokesperson Roy Trinidad said in a phone interview on Thursday. "We stuck with the rules of engagement. They were not allowed to use guns except for self defence.""
So China created the conditions for this kind of confrontation by including non-use of guns in confrontations, similar to its border with India. And then proceeds to create this aggression with swords and spears. Philippines was too naive. China is escalating tensions there, taking things to the edge of sparking a hot war without having one.
