Is there any chance for this to pass given the neoliberal nature of current Russia?
The LCS with a single gun and then ammo costing 1 billion USD (with a „b“) will always be a hilarious example of MIC grift.
He says a lot of decent things. He was banned from Germany for being against genocide in Gaza after all, but occasionally he just absolutely has to ruin it, by e.g. cheerleading for ex Al Qaeda taking over Syria and throwing out completely unnecessary and typical western „leftist“ anti-Soviet tropes…
Oh well…you take the useful stuff and discard the rest…
As I can see here, the official PMI is worse and PMI under 50 means contraction, hence why „0.5 percent“ has more impact than the small number would suggest.
Ofc, this is all laughably insignificant compared to current industrial collapse in the Collective West which is, on the other hand, being trivialized by the mainstream media.
As far as I remember, the first anti fascist partisan detachment in Yugoslavia, was created in Croatia. Croatia contributed, relative to their population, the most partisans out of all Yu nationalities and with other nations of Yugoslavia is considered a victor of WW2, since they liberated their country themselves and were on the side of Allies.
So instead of saying. “Yes, whatever, murdering is ofc wrong, here’s my vote” you keep coming up with convoluted statements about “black and white” and bending over backwards to explain why you don’t actually condemn murder?
Haven’t it ever occurred to you, that they could have voted “yes” and THEN issued a statement that “it does not absolve Russia…” etc.? Try to think why they haven’t done that will you?
Turns out Platner literally guarded the Abu Ghraib where he got his first combat experience. This keeps getting worse and worse lol
Watching Mearsheimer and Sachs on Glenn Diesen about “Spheres of Security”…Sachs saying he agrees with what Stalin wanted to do with Germany after WW2 and Mearsheimer saying Germany should have been broken up to pieces after WW1 made me chuckle. It’s like reading takes from Lemmygrad and Hexbear. 😄
I think they didn’t. That’s more of a recent development. I’ve read beginning 2000‘s China was almost on par in semi conductors with Taiwan and US. Thanks to Chinese libs who (in opposition to Marxists) convinced the leadership, the US would never hurt their own economy so much, just to stop China from developing, China dropped the ball on semiconductors, which turned out to be a very costly mistake for China.
My readout is, Ursula started her arrogant lecturing about Russia, but the annoyed Chinese, who expected trade negotiations not lectures, would have none of it, and just walked away. Ursula concluded how this was "excellent"...
Nothing "cheap" about this mileage.
They were using two(!) RTX 5090s, literally having one of them just for AI rendering.
Furthermore, these AI (let's call them) "improvements" come at a cost of destroying the consumer PC market with skyrocketing prices. The very market that is supposed to be using this.
