China is starting to innovate on their own now though which should be concerning to the west
they were going to at some point, now they just have to come up with their own ideas and not stealing someone else's

We don't need them strengthening ties with China.


this is going to sound dramatic, but any country that voluntarily decides to side with China knowing they will be at a full trade imbalance from the start, have their businesses and corporations at a disadvantage due to the impossible barriers to entry being extremely one-sided, and having their intellectual property be at risk due due to the joint ventures that China requires them to enter into in order to do business in the country.

well, if you know that and you're willing to do it, then you deserve have all that.
so one thing he did do is explain why americans harbor these feelings, though and why they support looking inward and supporting inward

Such a great movie but pisses me off to no end knowing years later Joe Biden and his admin let the Taliban gain control back of Afghanistan.
sorry but disagree 100000% here, we wanted out of there and rightfully so. i honestly don't care who's in charge now bc that place will always be what it is.

the previous admin obviously mishandled and completely botched the withdrawal, but make no mistake, it's a good thing for us not to be there
pretty goddamn sure my dad would buy that just to buy it
The picture was extremely dark at times
Chefs be like let me think of ways of doing the same shite but calling it new and refined instead
the funny part is that he prob came to america and became a liberal

After it was over I told her that I was embarrassed to tell her how it ended.
i was shocked like what the frick is going on
thought it was really good for 95% of the movie

i just found it implausible they would just vote for Benitez after barely knowing him and not even knowing he even existed, because of a speech that he gave in rebuttal to Tedesco's rant.
