Disagree.
Tributary states make the US empire extensions look more free than they are.
Serf states are a better description of what they are like.
Or perhaps sycophant states considering how eager they are serving the US.

What’s up with the high standard requirement?
Does the Chinese government need to be absolute perfection in order to be miles better than the US government?

Iran condemns US attempts to exploit financing, orchestrating and managing the protests for political gain

Fixed

No. You need lots of energy/electricity to economically grow and the US has fossil fuels in abundance,
especially coal, but it’s very high in the other two sectors as well.
Despite that, the Soviet Union managed to grow much faster with much less, same with China.
But the Soviet Union doesn’t have much coal and natural gas didn’t become big and cheap
until the turn of the millennium.
And coal has been very important in the 20th century as that provides cheap electricity, while oil mainly provides cheap transportation. The problem with oil is that it’s also easy to transport itself, so as a country like Saudi Arabia which has no coal and only oil, there’s a large chance that it will get stolen from any countries with massive coal deposits and even a larger chance for the oil to be sold by a tiny group of elites of that country to countries with massive coal deposits.

The US, despite its absolutely massive fossil fuel deposits compared to the rest of the world,
started to falter in the early 1970s as they had an internal oil peak, crashing their economy.
The Soviet Union was thriving, but still had a long way to catch up as it had been a monarchy up until the early 20th century,
plus setbacks from invasions by Germany who put all their weight on the Soviet Union and still lost.
The US then blackmailed Saudi Arabia just in time and was able to prop up their system and even thrive
by forcing Saudi Arabia to invest into the US or be invaded. It allowed the US to go into massive debts without worry.
The same happened to other oil producing nations.

It’s the US whose underlying institutional failures are showing right now.
China has risen in the 20th century because it’s expensive coal became cheap enough over time, as all the cheaper coal had been used up. Russia managed to regain some of its power with natural gas.

But since the early 2020s solar power has become the energy/electricity rising star and solar power is far more evenly distributed than fossil fuels.
There’s no blackmail scheme stopping this and we’re already seeing China haven taken a giant lead in solar power, wind power and battery storage, while the US is trying to instigate a civil war while trying to ban wind power and attempting to go from blackmail to direct oil theft.

I guess Trump watched the infographics show, which is about as nuanced as Falun Gong’s China Uncensored.

No, they were written with flash graphics

No, it showed how important fossil fuels, especially oil, were in the 20th century.
That’s gone now.

The Chinese protesters hanged and burned unarmed military police who were ordered to sing them out of the of the square like pied pipers, which worked as they did so even during the insurrection.
They had no intention to kidnapping or murdering anyone and came in unarmed, until over a hundred military men had been burned to death on “the tank man street”.
The Chinese military police shot and killed all the terrorists and evacuated the peaceful protesters.

What the Chinese government can be faulted for was that they did the same Biden Jan 6th order to send in the military with the same instructions:
Show up on “Capitol Hill and surroundings / Tianenmen Square” in time or be tried for treason.
Use force on people blocking your way.

For Jan 6th 2020 insurrection this resulted into 0 protesters dead as everyone fled the moment they heard of the US military coming.
For the June 4th 1989 insurrection it turned to over a 100 protesters dead as they were protesting far from the “tank man street” or even the square and did not believe that there even was an insurrection going on. Most of these deaths were caused by a single incident where the military and protesters were quarreling on who had the priority on taking public transportation.

Yeah, they are THAT cowardly.

Okay, so I guess Iran should listen to what Israel is saying,
and kidnap Netanyahu as soon as possible.

I mean why else should Iran pay close attention to what is happening in Venezuela.

Hey brother

I’m not sure who you are responding to.
Me or @corsicanguppy.

Corsicanguppy was asked to something.
Corsicanguppy was being defeatist.
I told him to be like the ant against the grassphopper.
You’re saying that like ants, they should cooperate.
To that I say, right on! That’s the spirit!

Voting doesn’t work when the candidate needs campaign money to get voted for.
If the candidate needs campaign money to get voted in, then the candidate will automatically be corrupt,
as no one is going to freely give someone lots of money unless they expect something back from it,
and if candidates need to be on tv and pay good money for being on tv,
then the candidates choices are to be corrupt or to be unknown
and you will need to organize a different system of electing leaders.

No, it’s asking an ant to stand up against a bunch of grasshoppers.

Aliens from outer space that resemble birds and bees have recently infiltrated earth and are slowly but surely taking over earth’s restrooms.
You are neither their species, so it’s best to turn around and go home.

Is there any reason you ask this question of RT, but not of the Wall Street Journal, Washington Post, New York Times, AP news or Reuters?

I’m beginning to admire Greta Thunberg’s actions more and more by the day.

Does it involve a very large razor blade?
I’m trying to keep my head on this.

“The only way to stop a school shooter is with another school shooter.” - Anglo-American proverb

Hey, that’s not nice to falsely name someone’s country!
Be a gentleman, apologize and use the correct name for it:
KKKlanada.

Us Europeans are being lorded over by the US and yet we don’t have ban to electricity to follow the Amish way of life, just because that’s the most backward part of the US.

We’re now living in a time where the US is telling us to tank our economy time after time ‘just to spite the enemy’, while China’s economy is growing 5+% per year.
That’s not sustainable.
At some point the people of Europe will be looking up at China and Russia for having an industry and commerce instead of letting everything be bought out by the US.

Moreover, our human rights are extremely selective and are based on the protection of the two ruling classes of capitalism, the lawyer class and the merchant (aka as donor) class, having replaced the clergy and nobility that came before. Human rights is just one way for the laywer class to justify their actions, which primarily serves the merchant class On top of that, none of those in power are even in Europe anymore. The donors class is all (Anglo-)American and we’re obligated to follow “international law” or “agreements with NATO” no matter what you supposedly voted for.
The moment competition shows up from China, in the US, not even the EU, then those rights the rest of us are supposed to have are immediately thrown out of the window, or for us Europeans, six months later.

Freedom of trade?

2000: “That’s what has made the US the most powerful nation in the world!”
2025: “National security threat!” “IP theft!”
“No ZTE routers, Huawei phones, or inexpensive BYD cars, for you. Sorry.”

Freedom of the press?

2000: “Freedom of speech what the US has and other countries don’t.” 2025: “Fake news!” “Ruzzian Chinese propaganda!”
“No more RT for you. Sorry. And soon we’ll be curtailing TikTok (US), Xiaohongshu (Taiwan) and any Asian cinema as well. (US)”

Human rights?

2000: “You’re allowed to protest about anything.” 2025: “Protesting genocide of Palestine by Israel is anti-semitic and thus illegal. (UK)”
