Also, why the hell would you need to detect the magnetic field of the heartbeat when he had already activated a locator beacon?

Found on an Iranian Telegram:

"As for people betting "Trump" won't use nuclear weapons - they still don't get "Trump" isn't in charge of anything.

This is an all-or-nothing bid by the US to maintain primacy over the planet before losing it permanently.

The unelected US corporate-financier establishment - pushing for wars since the inception of America as a nation - have ALREADY USED NUCLEAR WEAPONS - TWICE!!!

They considered using them on Korea, Vietnam, and even as recently as Afghanistan.

DO NOT let the US pin this solely on a single politician, or an administration or a US proxy. Make sure EVERYONE involved is blamed and held accountable.

This is called compartmentalization - dividing up your political fronts when dirty work is required so you can flush the consequences down with one or more of these fronts while keeping the political whole more or less intact.

The US literally does this every 4-8 years with presidents and scores of wars of aggression and other horrible foreign and domestic policies - and they will do it with this time as well.

It wasn't "Clinton," "Bush," or "Obama's" wars (although they are accomplices and equally guilty) - they are Wall Street and Washington wars - every single one of them - no matter who is picked to sell them and take the fall for them.

If you never expose and hold Wall Street and Washington as a whole accountable, they will continue their compartmentalization game forever without end."

Even a dirty bomb would be enough

The bourgeoisie is never opposed to war, because they believe foundationally in their ability to profit from it. That's likely why Trump has been doing market manipulation, to keep those people feeling like they are winning. These people don't read sitreps, they only read balance sheets. Which means right now they believe that the Ukraine situation is great and the Iran situation is great. And that reinforces their belief that the USA will always be able to win any conflict it chooses and it will only lose conflicts for profit.

I do think that there might be calculus that showed the inner circle that they would never be able to hold West Asia against China and Russia and Africa combined. This may be their way of evacuating - leaving as much of a mess behind as possible so that no one can benefit from the resources. Essentially, "if we can't have it, no one can"

How funny would it be if this was actually his account getting hacked by the Iranians and they posted it to make the entire administration shit their fucking pants that they've been hacked or have a mole or something and that every device the president touches is potentially compromised?

Show the place in the law that says that. My reading of the law is the Mandarin is now both required and required to be the primary language, but Tibetan is still taught and still protected and required for government functions. The reason for this is that Mandarin is the primary language for business and commerce. For young Tibetans and those in rural areas, the inability to speak, read, and write in Mandarin acts as a significant barrier to employment, particularly for higher-paying or administrative jobs. Requiring that all schools thoroughly educate children in Mandarin is NOT equivalent to outlawing instruction in their native tongue.

"Unprecedented" prints newspaper in the country of King Richard the Lionhearted.

Sweden is does not come close, no.

Try harder means do more work. What is communism?

Engels wrote:

Communism is the doctrine of the conditions of the liberation of the proletariat.

In this way, Communism is the theory and the practice of bringing about conditions of the liberation of the proletariat. In this way, all communism is successful in so far as it improves the conditions of proletariat against their oppressors and fails in so far as they stop doing that.

The USSR, therefore, was wildly successful and large scale. It ended serfdom entirely. It defeated the Nazis. It ended the centuries-long 4-7 year cycle of famine. It created the second-best-fed society in the world. And then it failed. It fell to revisionism, elevating a liberal class of would be property owners. It created the conditions for the oligarchs, and then it dismantled itself in favor of liberal capitalism and private enrichment.

China, therefore, is wildly successful and large scale. It has so far lifted 800 million people out of abject poverty. Grandmothers alive today in China saw their lives go from rice farming at a dollar a month to driving electric cars that respond to hand signals. They ended the centuries-long 2-4 year famine cycle. The ended the serf system. They have developed industrial capacity to such a degree that their massive country has a domestic purchasing power for its citizens equivalent to the greatest empire in the world, with far less inequality

Vietnam, therefore, is wildly successful. It fought against its colonizers (the French) and then successfully fought off the greatest military in the history of the world. Then it rebuilt its destroyed country and fed its people.

North Korea, therefore, is wildly successful. After the world's most powerful military destroyed everything in their country, every single structure, poisoned their land, and made them all to live in caves to avoid the constant napalm strafing, they worked together and rebuilt everything by hand without any ability to trade with the rest of the world except an impoverished China and revisionist USSR. They not only developed a modern agricultural base, electrical grid, technology sector, urban density, education system, and healthcare system, they also developed a strong enough military to deter further attacks on their people by Western oppressors.

Cuba, therefore, is wildly successful. Despite 60 years of embargo, Cuba still has higher literacy, higher life expectancy, greater democratic participation, and stronger community support than the richest empire on the planet. Cuba developed healthcare for its citizens to such a degree that they have a surplus of doctors who can help other nations. They developed a COVID vaccine on the same timeline as the US did without having to spend $4B as an incentive. They invented a vaccine for lung cancer and they give of their life saving openly and freely to liberate their people and others from the oppression of the wealthy who demand profit for health. Americans can't even get access to the lung cancer vaccine because of the embargo. Cuba ended the racial apartheid of the capitalist regime, liberating all people to participate in their own governance.

Perhaps you've got another definition for communism?

Try harder

What real communism would you point to? Castro? Ho? Kim?

If the only communism you believe in is imaginary, perhaps you have a problem with reality.

And you clearly have no concept of what actually happens in Chinese politics. There are absolutely factions in the CPC with different opinions on what should be done and why. There were, for a long time, Han Chauvinists and it was a major driving force of CPC domestic and foreign policy. There were debates within the party, factions espousing different positions, and they resolve them through intra-party elections. Those candidates debate publicly and privately. They write their positions down. They share them. The people understand them. There are 100M members of the party, which is more people than turn out for US elections. There is absolutely a culture of debate and discourse that you can tap into.

As for xenophobia in the population, of course there is. But when the CPC applied the one-child policy, do you know who their target was? Han Chinese. That's right, the dominant culture was the most heavily restricted. Not the other way around. Go read about it.

Yes, the new law states clearly that Mandarin will be implemented everywhere. That's specifically to establish literacy for the purposes of unity across ethnic lines. The law does NOT have any requirements that schools STOP educating in their ethnic language. There are other laws on the books that establish those programs as protected. This particular law reinforces those other laws by establishing that discrimination against existing ethnic practices is illegal for all levels of government and will be overseen and addressed by the CPC to ensure local governments aren't discriminating against ethnic practices.

I love how you tell on the West, though. I never said there's no xenophobia or racism. I said that the government policies and decision making process don't have these as elements that we can clearly observe. Then you say of course not because China isn't a democracy, which means you think that Democracy must include some form of xenophobic populism. Then you say that the people of China are also xenophobic and racist.

Connect the dots? 100M party members, mostly Han Chinese, with various factions (and 8 other parties mind you), and a population that has xenophobia and racism throughout BUT.... Laws written to constrain the dominant ethnicity, laws written to protect ethnic minorities, multiple centuries of autonomous and peaceful coexistence with large ethnic groups, integration and respect for multiple languages, religions, and cultural practices that vary based on the population...

it's almost like China has absolutely more people participating in elections, absolutely more political engagement, and has managed to not let the lowest and ugliest forms of popular opinion drive their foreign and domestic policy.

But you're right. The US is way more democratic. That's why we protect the right to free speech and free assembly of neo-nazis and the KKK. Because we're a Democracy goddamnit.
