China would be able to sell those US bonds to Japan and others who want to buy them at a discount. Sure China would lose some money but in the long run, China actually gains because its yuan currency will appreciate. It is actually better in the long run because as China's population ages, there will be less workers so they need to increase the value of the assets and if the yuan appreciates, their value of their assets will increase, giving the aging population some needed equity and will boost up domestic consumption.
After the Russian episode you still believe the west play by its own set rules😂😂
China will be sitting with bonds that no one will buy and will have to take that hit. If they are wise dumping these bonds is need of time for real assets like gold etc.
This Ukraine conflict is the ground for something wider and more dangerous. You are dealing with powers who are unable to digest that in near future they will be challenged on world matter.
So it is a last ditch attempt to fight back and keep their hegemony intact. For that China and India who are not client state are viewed as hostile powers that have to be chucked. Make no mistake India is a target for them.

Video report on the attack on the railway station. HORRENDOUS that someone had written on one of the rockets "This is for the children" (Video mark 0:43). I dont know if anything can be so cruel.


However, a counter narrative in the same video is that the missile was Ukrainian.... Welcome to the Fucking Fog of War

As wheat is going to costly next year, good opportunity to boost quality and quantity of this commodity.

Something we can do if we manage fertilizer shortage and prepare correctly in coming year.

What did Russia stand to gain from launching an attack on an overwhelmingly ethnic Russian town with a strong pro Kremlin sentiment as judged by the popular uprising that took place there in 2014 following the Maidan coup? It's one of the main urban centres on the Eastern front that Russia hopes to take in the opening stages of its fresh offensive in Donbass so alienating the local population through such an indiscriminate attack would hardly have served Russian interests at this point.

On the other hand, the incident was perfectly timed for the Kievien junta as it coincided with the first visit by high ranking EU leaders including Von Der Liar to the country since the outbreak of hostilities. It has destroyed the main mode of evacuation for the civilian population from Kramatorsk, mostly expendable ethnic Russians, who are already being brainwashed through accelerated psyops blaming the attack on Russians, with the intention of being deployed as human shields in a rerun of Mariopol once the Russian forces arrive.

So the only side which had a real motive to commit this atrocity and stood to benefit from it are the Ukronazis.

Besides the choice of missile (used in a similar attack on Donetsk by Ukrops killing a few dozen only a couple of weeks ago), it's trajectory and other technical details which have been discussed to death by various sources serve as further confirmation of this being a Ukronazi false flag..

Yes, I did not want to seem like an insensitive asshole, but it would be really stupid of the Russians to blow up a train station right when EU reps are visiting, plus, did you notice the comment in my post... one guy says the missile is operated by Ukraine. That said, the Russians are no above human rights abuses.. it could be a case where they suspected Ukrainian commanders of escaping and decided to blow up the station.

I would like to see if someone can validate that the missile fired on the train station is exclusively Ukrainian.. until then, the Russians continue to be suspect.

It is on Ukrainian side to provide proof that they didn't fired it but Russian.

We have seen, Ukraine using schools hospitals and civilians as shield to combat Russian troops.

"This is for the children " message seems to be straight out of Ukrainians play book.


Russia on the other hand has suffered enormous damage to keep Ukrainian civilian's casuality to a minimum.

Sorry, economically Trumpism was a complete failure.

Trump’s tariffs are the major reasons that the stuff Americans buy (especially stuff made of steel or wood) is more expensive now than in 2018.

Trump pretended that it’s “China,” not the average American, paying those tariffs.

But more than 90% of the tariffs on “China” are actually absorbed by US importers of Chinese goods in the form of higher prices. And guess who those importers are passing the price increases onto?

The average American, that's who.

Every extra penny an American shells out for every good he buys in which tariffs are involved is essentially a campaign contribution to whichever politician keeps (or promises to keep) those tariffs in place. That includes domestically produced goods whose makers can jack up their prices because tariffs raised their foreign competitors’ costs.

Tariffs are the domestic equivalent of foreign economic sanctions, which in turn are the economic equivalent of war. Not war on “China.” War on the people.
This is how import from a certain nation is reduced and provide or enable domestic suppliers a fair chance to compete with chinese low priced products.

One of the reason in India we saw assembling plant of major electronic giant coming up instead of direct import. Which has now shifted to manufacturing of many parts .



War on people like crap to promote Chinese industry hegemony is ewww.

once they realize what they maintenance costs will be they may not be so happy??
Maintenance cost isn't that high for F-16s and have a global supply chain. Also the capability it brings is aided by the fact that Poland already operates them and getting F-35 A now .

This will be a very sweet deal for them if they can get it.

🇷🇺🇺🇦⚡ Evening briefing of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation. The main thing:

- A large warehouse of rocket and artillery weapons was hit in the area of the settlement. Nimirovskoye;
- Destroyed aviation equipment at the Kanatovo military airfield;
- Ukrainian Su-27 shot down;
- Intercepted radio communications, which prove that a significant number of foreign mercenaries are blocked in Mariupol.
