Talk about whatever, respecting the rules established by Lemmygrad. Failing to comply with the rules will grant you a few warnings, insisting on breaking them will grant you a beautiful shiny banwall.

A community for comrades to chat and talk about whatever doesn't fit other communities

Media is reporting on this all of a sudden and I'm a bit out of the loop. What's happening?

BRI refers to the Belt and Road Initiative, not BRICS. Pakistan is important to the BRI due to ports such as Gwadar being means of accessing the Indian Ocean and the Strait of Hormuz for China without passing through the Strait of Malacca.

Oh, you're right. My bad. I thought they were referring to BRICS, isn't the first time that happened to me. I feel like Belt and Road should be called BR or B&R or something, I always get confused.

Pakistan being an important member of Belt and Road while India is a founding member of BRICS and all of this happening right now as Trump is trying to fuck with China while having hands in Pakistan just really makes me even more a believer in this being some false flag. If we don't die in nuclear hellfire then we'll find out in 50 years, I guess.
