Looks like Russians pinned a bunch of Ukrainian forces around Chasov Yar after the Avdeevka breakthrough. This is a critical problem for Ukraine because there aren't any fortification in depth, so losing these strongholds means Russia would be easily able to advance all the way to Dnepr. As a result, Ukraine threw their best brigades to try and slow down Russian advance at all costs. Now it looks like Russia is opening up a second front from the north, and we'll see if Ukraine has the resources to fight on both fronts or whether they'll be forced to sacrifice one to try and hold the other. Of course, if Russia makes a major breakthrough in either area then it's likely that the whole front is going to start collapsing anyways. The next few weeks might be a pivotal moment in the war.

lol totally can see this happening

The good news about Cold War II is that now the positions are reversed with the west being the smaller economic bloc.

Yeah exactly, if China was stupid enough to fall for this they'd totally frame it as "help".

👏

The Economist: Why automation is bad for the economy

exactly

it's particularly funny after US telling us for years how China can't innovate and that Chinese economy is about to collapse

And the offending nation has US bent over a barrel economically at this point.

The difference being that China isn't a vassal of the empire, but clearly they forgot that crucial detail.

The best part about the whole thing is how US presumes it has the right to dictate to China on how to develop its economy.

yeah, all of a sudden all the concern about impending climate doom evaporates

weird right

lol I loved that bit, like wtf does that even mean, Chinese are not using organically grown free markets to produce their goods 😂

I think it's desperation, US is realizing China is pulling ahead and they're basically trying to convince China to sabotage their economy the way they did with Japan in the 80s.

yeah it's bad https://www.brightfuturesny.com/post/us-literacy-statistics

The fact that Cuba is able to ensure its people have access to necessities of life even under a brutal siege is an incredible illustration of the power of communism.

lol yeah

If you don't think that people owning the results of their labor is morally correct, then what else is there to say about you.

Uh yeah, and we're completely and utterly unapologetic about it because it's the morally correct position.
