That’s a post body text written by OP you goofball

She didn’t pick a fight directly, she stood ground on independence and anti-colonialism/occupation by supporting Taiwan’s sovereignty.

You’re essentially saying Germany should not annoy Russia by supporting Ukraine.

See how wrong that sounds? Or should we first wait till conflict actually breaks out and people start dying?

This would be like Canada threatening the US.

No, this would be like US threatening to invade Greenland and Canada recognizing Greenland’s sovereignty. You’re making the victim look like bully. Nice try CCP

Ahh yes, the Russia’s approach. Instead of being a decent country and naturally attracting globally good opinions, talent, etc., they have to reduce themselves to brainwashing and strongarming.

OpenAI used east Europeans. Just sayin…

That’s the big part I mentioned. Do statistics look as good when you add “per person” in the equation? I’m still not seeing the effectiveness. China is just massive, but not immune to ineffective spending/economy.

a very effective centrally planned economy.

There’s so much BS going on that you don’t really know the full picture. The China fails a lot, their entire banking system has even been repeatedly called into question, the whole tofu drama, failures in planning and investments (like this one: https://flatbike.com/blogs/cyclist/chinas-huge-bicycle-graveyards-and-why-they-matter?srsltid=AfmBOooalRaFGimlCOQT1d8cBl2nPxpuXRQ587vta5lGYx8bIUL5OkKk), etc. Calling it effective is like calling US economy booming. They aren’t special, they’re just bigger and harder to catastrophically fail in a way that would affect the entire country.

Do you have a source for your claims? Because I do for mine. Also, look up land used by US in Japan. It has reduced by nearly 50% since they entered Japan.

How would this compare to one person with 5090 gaming for a week?

Oh, so that’s why my reddit post got no comments

You can just say “alright, the statistics really do look better, the issue is being fixed, officials are talking about it and I was wrong for saying that country should be defenceless because of few bad apples”

You don’t think an enormous population of foreign military resulting in high rates of unprosecuted sexual violence and organized crime demonstrates anything about the state of politics in the host country?

So you believe people in Korea, Japan, and the Philippines at the highest levels of power just… want this for their people? Or do you think they’re so beaten down they don’t believe in their own capacity for self-defense?

Please read the article you yourself sent me and give me source for your “high rates”. I’m not denying the issue exists, but officials have been fighting this issue with good results. If you think few bad apples are worse than risking entire country and millions of people then… I can’t even argue that, I’d just call you extremely dumb and move on.

Is the violent occupation of conquered territory only a problem for you when the occupying army is Slavic?

The irony here is that I’m Slavic. I also clearly signalized against Chinese aggression. I’m not anti-Russian, I’m anti-whoever-can’t-stay-in-their-borders-and/or-do-colonialism

EDIT: Random, but who do you think is responsible for more Slav deaths - Nazi Germany or Russia?

Again, very bizzare take. There are people in literally every country that wants foreign influence or bases out, that proves nothing and that number of people is very minimal compared to people who want them. The locals in Okinawa are one such example as the military presence is disturbing and soldiers are not known for ethics. I’m in one of your so claimed “occupied states”, and everyone’s thankful for the alliance (literally no one calls it occupation except Russian people living here who hate everyone who tries to defend themselves from the next invasion).

Random, but did you know an alternate name for Russians where I live is “occupiers”? If you say “occupiers”, literally everyone knows that means Russians.

This is such a bizarre outlook on reality. You watch Russian TV a lot?

They already do. US is currently the only country pushing for surrender (note, it’s not just Ukraine, peace plan forces stuff from US too, including industry help and money) while negotiating with terrorists. It will take a very long time for me to see US in the same light I used to. Imagine US surrendering to ISIS. Beyond humiliating.

I’m honestly surprised by the location

We just finished building a huge (automated, with robotic hand) candle manufacturing machine with over 3000 molds, 8500pcs/hour, the thing is massive, modern, with multiple computers, hundreds of sensors, motors, etc. The whole thing is bigger than my house. It was cheaper than buying this bath

That price does not make any sense whatsoever. It’s clearly having a 10000% markup for the rich people while there is no competition

China recently announced plans to take Taiwan by force after a call with Trump. I keep thinking what that conversation sounded like. Not too long after, Taiwan also announced a preparation for war by 2027.

I’d actually say it was 8.1, but the problem with 8.1 is that it died before people could discover how good it is combined with classical start menu. It was basically a fleshed out, faster, more stable Windows 7 with updated tech like newer directx and cached boot (aka. Fastboot). Almost non-existing market share, but I liked it far better than 7, 10 and 11 (only gave it 1 week). I installed a tweaked 8.1 version on all my friends/family’s PCs and never heard a single complaint, shit was awesome.

Wait till you learn about Baltic States. This from my country just recently: https://eng.lsm.lv/article/politics/saeima/30.10.2025-latvian-parliament-votes-to-exit-istanbul-convention.a620375/
