Goldbugs have a lot of nostalgia for the Gilded Age, so they put the face value it where it would have been in 1896.

During the 2022 election the French left was saying “A vote for Macron in 2022 is a vote for Le Pen in 2027”.
They appear to be right on schedule.
Both CEOs are horrible but the new one is a former McKinsey consultant with a background in finance and the silicon-valley C-suite. According to statements she put out her strategy is: layoffs and AI.
It’s just a suggestion.
Quebec is also where I learned the phrase “No cop, no stop.”
But I think they were arrested for not saying arrêt.
The article is rank propaganda. Coming from a supposed middle eastern journal it’s pretty shameful that it didn’t even mention what China is doing to Muslims in Xinjiang. Besides that, China is in taking aggressive actions against many of its neighbors, not just Taiwan but also the Philippines, Malaysia, Japan, etc. Plus the wolf warrior stuff against Australia, South Korea and the like. Not to mention the illegal armed fishing fleet operations in the territorial waters of smaller nations around the world.
In comparison, the USA illegally invaded Iraq and Afghanistan, has meddled in the internal affairs of many Latin American countries, and supports Israel.
One could certainly argue that America’s crimes are worse on the margin, but the idea that one supports a rules-based order and the other does not is laughable. Both violate international rules and laws continuously whenever it suits them and they can get away with it.
Some of them are flying the Confederate flag in Alberta!
Historically Europe (and the British Empire) sided with the confederacy because they saw a united USA as a potential industrial rival, whereas the south was more of a resource colony. Interestingly there was a major class divide in Europe where the working classes were anti-slavery and therefore anti-confederate wheras the upper classes saw the confederate cause being in their interest. There’s a book about this called A Cause for All Nations by Don Doyle.
My understanding is that nowadays the confederate flag is used by people outside the USA who are on the fascist end of the spectrum for whom Nazi or fascist symbols are too extreme (or just illegal) in their countries.
If they said they didn’t find any, then everyone would know it was a whitewash. So they decided to “find” a small amount and then pat themselves on the back.
Reality is about to get all melty and people are gonna have six fingers.
More like you want to read your opinion echoed back to you and you really don’t care if it’s in the words of a CIA/Cheney ghoul or Charles Koch shill.
George Beebe is a former chief of CIA’s Russia analysis who served on Vice President Cheney’s staff from 2002-2004.
Why do these supposedly left hexbear/ml guys keep posting articles written by wingers?
There’s nothing up there but lakes, mud, and mosquitos
That’s a rude way to describe Saint Petersburg.
Worse, the article was written by a Koch shill: https://www.macalester.edu/news/2022/04/professor-andrew-latham-receives-grant-koch-foundation-chinas-grand-strategy-a-history/
Russia is so terrified of Nato encroachment that they stripped their defenses along the Finnish boarder shortly after Finland joined Nato, and they’ve moved all the defenses at this point (first weapons, now troops) out of Kaliningrad.
He ain’t the sharpest tool in the shed. That’s for sure. I think the world is gonna roll him. The ice is getting pretty thin, the water’s warm. Do you think he can swim?
I think I’m beginning to understand how Trudeau keeps winning.
The official statement of the Biden administration is “we expect our partners in Israel to conduct a full and thorough investigation and will not comment on the matter further until Israel has told us what to think.”
Probably had CTE TBH.
I’m normally pretty critical of China but this I can get behind.
