China can progress and make really really really deadlier bat-viruses. When I close my eyes and think of humanitarians, I see a Chinaman in my mind’s eye

The Japanese didn’t trust the Germans. Same thing here. The big elephant outside the room: Siberia.

China really appreciates Russia’s energy potential. Russia is simply being coddled by China right now.

Russia and China are actively working to bring down the United States and destroy the world order that has created the greatest period of prosperity and technological advancement in human history.

And yet we still have jackwagons on this site who defend Putin and his butchery.

Quite fascinating paragraph in the article.

"As the US-India relationship faces increasing headwinds, Modi is moving closer to Xi. Both countries are not only the most populous, but also have two of the biggest economies in the world."
"...increasing headwinds?" A weather report.

Noted in a comment yesterday,

"...our United States is 1) about four percent of the population of the globe, 2) based on various sources, about 30 percent of the global debt, and 3) about 25 percent of the global GDP or PPP, as one chooses to view things."
Against that one considers the BBC's "Both countries are not only the most populous, but also have two of the biggest economies in the world."

Now the UK, since this is a BBC thread. Size of population, economy, and all.

0.83% of the global population, and 1.9% of the global economy.
The BBC wrote of the UK (by reporting other UK media's work) --- 'Heading for IMF bailout' and 'Border farce!' | BBC, 24 August 2025.

LIVE: ‘Ukraine War is Over’, Jeffrey Sachs ROCKS European Parliament With BLISTERING Ukraine Speech

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rms0gLdDT24

“So, the war started. What was Putin’s intention in the war? I can tell you what his intention was. It was to force Zalinski to negotiate neutrality and that happened within 7 days of the start of the invasion. You should understand this, not the propaganda that’s written about this. Oh, that they failed and he was going to take over Ukraine. Come on, ladies and gentlemen, understand something basic. The idea was to keep NATO, and what is NATO? It’s the United States, off of Russia’s border. No more, no less. I should add one very important point. Why are they so interested? first because if China or Russia decided to have a military base on the Rio Grand or in uh the Canadian border, not only would the United States freak out, we’d have war within about 10 minutes,...”

The E3 sanctions against Iran and attempting to force India away from Russian oil is just pushing BRICS nations further together. Soon it will be all the bankrupt Western nations against the rest of the world. It’s the perfect recipe for WW3.

Don’t forget the DNC. It’s for the benefit of the DNC and their boneheads also.

Yeah the BRICs are such good buddies....lolz. As we just saw the Russians not lifting a finger to help out Iran in the recent bout of USA +Israel vs Iran. China did not help the Ayatollahs in their hours of desperation.

Iran spent billions on craptastic Russian air-defense systems. Israel took all of them out in a few days. Mostly by firing stand-off missiles at them from the air. No one will be buying these Russian drek weapons anymore.
