the longer they wait the more likely that is, if they get real missiles they might do more than just repel

Literally all China has to do is send an aircraft carrier and a few submarines and the USA will back off. Not a single bullet needs to be fired.

But China won't dont that because they're a bunch of grifters who passively benefit from the current world order while pretending to oppose it for brownie points from the Global South.

Don't even bother replying to me, CPC shills, I'm not gonna read your BS.

China doesn't have enough strength. venezuela's the American backyard. you're asking for pure adventurism.

So according to what's convenient for the narrative, China is simultaneously far stronger than the USA or still just a smol bean who can't do anything .

>Things are going to continue to happen in the stupidest ways possible that no one really takes seriously, where every single person compulsively reacts with either cynical grifting or useless panic and appealing to a political system of liberal democracy that is entirely dead and irrelevant. things will continue to get gradually worse, more people will lose their jobs and homes, the most destitute and marginalized will be oppressed by state-backed domestic terrorism, but the decay will simply continue and everyone who isn't actively being imprisoned and forced into slavery or outright exterminated will simply ignore it and maintain a cognitive dissonance of believing a civil war is happening while living their lives in a mostly normal fashion. The death of the United States will be slow, painful, and insufferably annoying and stupid.

UFAWUZ pickets Nestlé Zimbabwe demanding the company pay workers a living wage
According to UFAWUZ Secretary General Ady Mutero, the union was compelled to organize the picket after Nestlé, despite being chair of the Employers Association in the Food and Processing Industry, refused to grant any wage increase following a deadlock at the National Employment Council (NEC).

South Africa deploys 3,500 extra police officers and braces for protests around the G20 summit
South African police said they have designated specific areas for protesters to gather near the summit venue, an exhibition center next to the country’s biggest soccer stadium. The head of Airports Company South Africa, which runs the main international airports, said it had set up “speakers’ corners” in airports where protesters would be “kindly” taken by security if they stage demonstrations when world leaders arrive.

Syria condemns Israeli PM Netanyahu’s ‘illegal visit’ to seized territory
Israel has previously said the 1974 agreement has been void since al-Assad fled, and it has breached Syrian sovereignty with air strikes, ground infiltration operations, reconnaissance overflights, the establishment of checkpoints, and the arrest and disappearance of Syrian citizens.

Mamdani pleads directly with NYC-DSA to not back Chi Osse’s run against Hakeem Jeffries
Tascha van Auken, the field director of Mamdani’s campaign who’s influential in the DSA, also argued against endorsing Osse during the Wednesday night confab. She focused her remarks on questioning whether Osse is loyal to the principles of the socialist group, which he only became a dues-paying member of this past summer after Mamdani’s mayoral primary victory. Other DSA members at the meeting argued for backing Osse’s run, including Brooklyn Assemblywoman Emily Gallagher and Gustavo Gordillo, the DSA New York City chapter’s co-chair, according to the sources.

Trump signs bill to compel release of more Epstein documents
The justice department has 30 days to release all files related to Epstein, including the investigation into his death by suicide in a federal prison cell. The legislation permits redacting identifying information of victims, but specifically bars officials from declining to disclose information over concerns about “embarrassment, reputational harm or political sensitivity”.

JIM JUMP chair of the International Brigade Memorial Trust: The struggle against Franco’s legacy continues
“SPANIARDS, Franco has died,” came the announcement 50 years ago on Spanish TV. If there was any truth to the widely held story that Barcelona immediately ran out of cava, the corks would have been popping behind closed doors. Most Spaniards held their breath on November 20 1975, fearful of what might happen next. After nearly four decades of brutal dictatorship, reactionary forces dominated the country’s institutions and the generalisimo himself had boasted that everything was being left “well tied up.” Confounding expectations, however, King Juan Carlos appointed a government that steered Spain towards free elections in 1977, the first since the Spanish Republic. In 1981 he helped face down a botched coup attempt by die-hard army and civil guard units, who briefly seized the Cortes, the Spanish parliament. In the following year the PSOE (Workers Socialist Party of Spain) — the dominant party in the Republic’s Popular Front government — won the general election. Today Juan Carlos, who abdicated in favour of son Filipe in 2014, is again at the centre of controversy. His autobiography praises Franco’s “intelligence and political sense.” But it says nothing in 500 pages about the victims of Franco, nor the scars that the Spanish civil war have left on Spanish society.

Bugonia: The latest film from Yorgos Lanthimos—“All that’s been done to us … We’re setting that right again”
Elon Musk was recently awarded a one-trillion-dollar pay package over ten years. “If Musk works a 40-hour work week with two weeks’ vacation, or about 20,000 hours for 10 years, that’s $50 million an hour.” Tesla “production associates” make $23 an hour. And 23 goes into 50 million approximately 2,173,913 times. In Bugonia, Greek filmmaker Yorgos Lanthimos’ latest film, two cousins, beekeeper-warehouse worker Teddy (Jesse Plemons) and Don (Aidan Delbis), kidnap a successful, powerful corporate executive, Michelle Fuller (Emma Stone), in an act of revenge and hold her captive in their basement. They are not looking for ransom but for her to admit that she is part of an alien conspiracy (launched from Post too long. Click here to view the full text.

>The Self-Defense Forces, in response, strengthened their defensive posture, and the two armies clashed on the outskirts of Kushiro.

Let's put aside the elephant in the room (India's obsession with Israel), and even their anti-muslim pro-hindu-obsession. Just look at their diplomatic and trade situation with Russia, China, and the USA.

India, by the laws of history, should have become communist-led by 2010, the latest. Socialism was (and still is) the class interest of 98% of their population. It's fucking insane, if you think about how cucked their comprador bourgeoisie situation is + the underdeveloped state of their infrastructure, their semi-feudal small manufacturing, their idiotic e-scam economy, the absolute destitution of their villages/peasants, and so on. Obviously, it was the USA that """"helped"""" India to get rid of the Naxalite """"threat"""".

But then you look at this fucking country's geopolitics/diplomacy/trade and it DOESN'T MAKE FUCKING SENSE, DUDE.

https://swentr.site/india/627932-new-great-game-in-south-asia/ (Please ignore the title and keep reading, it's a very good summary.)

Like, what the actual FUCK is India's foreign policy?!

They hate Pakistan, they try to bribe Sri Lanka, they suck both US and multipolar dick at the same time, and they have constant border disputes.

It's fuckin insane, to the point that future historians will be writing books about the ridiculous failures of India's foreign policy.
