Additionally, I have more and more average Americans online telling me they want to move to Europe, so things are pretty bad over there as well. They just don’t know Europe is worse off.

Europe shot itself in the legs by decoupling from Russian gas, then shot itself in the head by placing tariffs on green technology because it basically has to come from China.

It’s so over for Europe it’s not funny. I am afraid things can only get worse…

US/Europe are immensely benefitting…

Proxy war in Ukraine is an absolute disaster for European economies and the US are not doing so well either.

Kinda hard to be reasonable when fighting for survival

Correction, western-backed Ukronazi regime is fighting for survival. Regular Ukrainians are fighting for survival by evading forced conscription by Ukronazis.

Oh, and a giant PR failure

So, AFU is fighting for PR, while Russian forces are fighting a war of attrition. Guess who will prevail.

And women are at fault of getting raped?

Those responsible for proxy war in Ukraine are sitting in Washington, not Kremlin.

Ukronazi MoD regularly posting Nazis in AFU should be enough for anyone with more than 2 braincells. Top ranking Ukronazi official said all civilians in Crimea are considered valid targets, when they recently attacked a beach full of civilians with ATACMS missile.

Why would you support OUN Ukronazi regime is the question here? That’s what most Europeans are asking themselves these days, while their economies slowly crumble and they suffer under neoliberal austerity measures.

This so called “Pax Americana” we occasionally hear about, only applies to Western countries, but the author is trying to expand it to entire world, which is obviously ridiculous, given, you know…the reality.

If I remember correctly, they had their communist party split in two, so both the party in power and main opposition are communist.

However, the country is not doing that great, people are leaving for work etc, so what seems to me like liberals are gaining some traction now, at least locally, as my Nepalese colleague tells me.

I didn’t even add any special commentary. I literally just posted the list and the fact Germany is out of top 5 and Russia is in, and they were all in meltdown mode. It’s astounding to me, because I used to live in allegedly “authoritarian” socialist country and we were used to criticising and pointing out failures of our government all the time.

I posted this in gaming, mostly lib, forum and they had a meltdown yelling how Russia is about to collapse.

Where do you donate to help the people of Gaza? UN relief or somewhere else?

Me too, I just hope to see the USD dethroned during my lifetime. If Michael Hudson is right, the entire US military machine that runs on the fact USD is the global reserve currency, would crumble with it.

This is an old article. I asked the Marxist economist Michael Roberts for the next recession blog about it, but he said IMF numbers do not confirm what is being said here, so cautious with the optimism.

It seems to me US wants to “transfer knowledge” from TSMC, and they know it, so they are intentionally talking Chinese and bullying them with no intention of giving up their trade secrets to Americans.

What the hell? This article is so wild and TSMC is so “satanic” I actually felt sorry for the American workers.

Singaporean ex-diplomat said in one video…paraphrase: “The US is famous for 2 things, hating the Chinese and the Muslims. Now you expect us to believe they care so much about Chinese Muslims???” (laugh)

Frankly, that sounds terrifying.

I believe that’s perfectly normal.

I’ve read a scientific piece which claimed that actually everyone has dreams regularly. It’s just that you normally don’t remember them. Sometimes, if you are waken up at a particular moment, you might remember them, but otherwise you would not. So it’s nothing to worry about at least…

On the other hand, I had a date once, who claimed she actually lives an actual 2nd life in her dream world, every single night, and remembers absolutely everything about it. Now that is something unusual…but she was also…let’s just say “unusual” in her 1st life, so who knows what was going on there…

Media Bias Fact check has no methodology whatsoever and was proven to be unreliable and biased themselves.

Bandera is a national hero and a holiday. The commander of the UAF keeps making selfies with his picture and is the “Nordic runes enjoyer” himself. It’s hard to take a photo of any UAF soldier without swastikas or similar Nazi memorabilia. They literally have entire military formations openly devoted to Nazism.

Yes, every country has Nazis, but since WW2 no government ran that far and that open with it, not to mention intentionally arming and organizing them.

This is IMF forecast data. Check how it looks like for the G7. Spoiler: it’s far worse than this forecast for China. How does the forecast of 1% US growth in 2024 fit into your “stable growth of the US”?

China is still growing far faster than the G7 so you missed the point entirely.

ICJ judges rejected Kiev’s argument that Russia used false claims of a genocide in Donbas to justify its invasion

I did and I still don’t get it where “ICJ judges rejected Kiev’s argument that Russia used false claims of a genocide in Donbas to justify its invasion”. Could you please elaborate? I genuinely want to rub this into someones face…

They are very likely not going to do that. Proving a genocide is an extremely tricky business. The Srebrenica genocide committed by the Bosnian Serbs was very hard to prove IIRC.

This is why the Uyghur “genocide” nonsense was so infuriating to me. Only the Zionists are unhinged enough to openly and proudly admit, they are, in fact, doing a genocide, so the court almost has no choice but to proceed with that case in particular.

This is literally the GDP growth rate. I don’t think you know what you are talking about, but please point us to a definition of the indicator you are talking about as well as to the comparison by country.
