The US is constantly repeating propaganda domestically and abroad all day every day. The least the UN can do is remain consistent in countering the narrative.

It always was

While it's possible for both to be true, it's both A) completely unnecessary if the primary opposition is from astroturfed Western regime change operations and B) completely irrelevant because the first responsibility of the government should be to get those foreign agents out of the country so that they don't end up with a vocal and violent ultra minority trying to overthrow the government and install a Western puppet.

Meanwhile on the other side of Russia Korea is testing it's mobile solid fuel ICBM capabilities.

What the hell would the USA even do? Sanction Korea?

Holy shit, talk about obvious propaganda. You think a full half of the country is completely all about supporting a country that our entire military industrial complex is built to fight and that our military decided to declare as a near-peer rival? And you think it's the tankies that have been taken in by propaganda?

Jesus.

Wait. Why is this obvious propaganda?

Liberal downvoting has seriously spiked today. What's going on?

Food insecurity in the USA exists without anyone sanctioning it. Stores have literally started locking deodorant and baby formula behind glass to prevent more theft.

But you think a Newsweek story about a single person stealing a pack of butter is evidence that the sanctions are working?

Worse, you are totally cool with sanctions harming average citizens with food insecurity and not aware that collective punishment is a literal crime against humanity?

What a delusional take on the conflict in Ukraine. Even the US media is describing the situation as a slow motion collapse for Ukraine. Ukraine has lost multiple entire armies needing quite literally every piece of armor replaced by the West. Ukrainian soldiers report being absolutely pummeled by glide bombs and artillery while they have nearly zero ability to respond and near complete inability to move around due to Russian air dominance and constant drone recon.

Ukraine has managed to through a few small explosives strapped to drones and hit civilian targets in Russia, and that's about it.

Ukraine has literally developed nothing - everything they are using on the battlefield is old Soviet stock or supplied by their Western colonial allies.

What are you even talking about?

What an incredible piece of world building! It's stunning how little reality there is in this whole piece

Why are you surprised when China literally says over and over and over again that they have no intention of violently invading the island and forcing it at gunpoint to reintegrate? They have said over and over for years and years that they will reintegrates their sovereign territory through diplomacy and establishing one country two systems, as they have demonstrated works multiple times over.

The nigh universal communist consensus is that enforced atheism is a mistake and not a single communist country today embraces it

This dogmatic anti-religion stance has demonstrably blinded you to actual material reality. This anti religion stance was also one of the biggest mistakes the USSR made when it was starting it.

I thought the USA broke from the UK because of freedom? How could they be so closely aligned?

95% approval rating of the government over 15 years (studied and reported by Harvard)

Multiple autonomous zones wherein a non-Han culture controls major aspects of society including religion, language, social norms, etc. Children are educated in their native tongues and official business is conducted in those languages. Compare this to language and religious erasure in the USA and Canada.

The protests in Hong Kong were violent... That is to say the protestors were throwing fire bombs at the police, but the police allowed the protests to rage for weeks and did not violently repress them. Compare this with the decades of police riots in the USA most recently the protests against racially-motivated extrajudicial killings by the police.

Greater home ownership rates in China than the USA or Canada. Lower homelessness rates in China than USA or Canada. Lower death rates from COVID in China.

The human rights to food, shelter, health, a government that responds to the needs of the people - all of these are better in China.

Child separation of immigrant families and use of solitary confinement on immigrants, including infants which causes permanent brain damage.

Apartheid and ghettoization domestically and support for apartheid and ghettoization globally.

That doesn't even get into the military. China lacks all of these, but they feature heavily in the USA:

• CIA black sites in foreign countries used to torture and experiment on humans in violation of domestic and international law. They are in foreign countries to create legal ambiguities
• material support for multiple genocides including domestic genocides
• training death squads that murder entire families of indigenous and left-wing citizens throughout an entire continent
• unilaterally pulling out of nuclear treaties
• refusing to sign treaties against use of land mines
• nuking 2 civilian populations
• invading multiple sovereign nations and destroying all of their civilian infrastructure including power, water, and medical
• embargoing and sanctioning dozens of countries with the explicit purpose of causing pain to civilians in hopes that they will rise up and overthrow their government (collective punishment)
• use of chemical warfare on millions
• spending enough money on weapons of war that the money could easily solve multiple systemic human problems including hunger, disease, homelessness, mental health epidemics, etc.

The USA has an absolutely abysmal human rights record compared to China.

What's with the strategic ambiguity here? They're attacking the capital city of a sovereign nation. The entity is at war with Lebanon. Why mince words?

China takes write downs all the time. It has written down over $3Bn in debt and it's restructured 5x that for countries who couldn't afford to repay on the original terms.

It's gonna be great TV

Typical liberal brain rot fantasy. You are literally making shit up from fantasy stories and then playing them in your head and enjoying it.

The reality is that there is no Chinese debt trap and Dessalines gave you a great list of articles to read. Read them.

This is Western liberal cope. China makes 5-year plans and publishes them. Building factories around the world is a massive planning effort. They are not reacting to tarrifs that were levied in the last 18 months. The tarrifs are a reaction.

China has been building international infrastructure, including factories, for years now. By the time a factory comes online to "avoid tarrifs" the tarrifs would have already had their maximal effect. Further, tarrif regimes can be changed in hours while factories take years to plan and execute. There is simply no way China is thinking they're going to outmaneuver recent tarrifs with factories.

It's nonsense
