Comments look exactly like before Ukraine invasion. Just saying.
You mean there is an army of trolls saying that no invasion is being planned but in any case, its NATO’s fault and denouncing
russophobiaTMsinophobiaTM cause, why not?I remember right after the invasion started /r/worldnews was full of comments defending Russia and they were all these weird accounts. 8 years old with no comments prior. To the credit of the mods there every time I reported one they were blocked.

China gonna fall any minute bro
China’s real-estate is broke
China’s gonna invade Taiwan tomorrow.
China’s youth unemployment is the weakest its its ever been
China’s rammping up its military.
yawn
This is a US propaganda piece
Council on Foreign Relations
Co-chairs: Susan M. Gordon (25 years CIA) and Michael G. Mullen (17th chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff)
No way could this be propaganda dawg!
No way people working in espionage and defence would have information about a foreign country and know about military matters and such
Wait
Biden, Feb 2022: “Russia will attack Ukraine”
Me, an enlightened intellectual: “Stop provoking war, you fearmongering CIA propagandist 😡”
an enlightened intellectual?
lol
Hahahahahaha
Holy. Fuck.
Buhahahaha
I’m not arguing against Ukraine, it’s fucking dumb and a terrible strawman. These two situations couldn’t be more different.
Russian invaded Ukraine in 2014 and nobody did shit, of course they were going to do it again.
Do you know what the One China policy is? That’s American policy. Do you think a country can invade itself? Do you think it’s worth it to go to war with China over Taiwan?
You have no clue what your talking about and your strawman has been repeated ad nauseum in this thread.
Some of those do seem accurate
Keep beating that war drum US “think tank”.
If China doesn’t invade Taiwan there will be no war to be had
Ukraine enters the conversation
Russia invades Ukraine
Tankies: How could NATO do this?
by provoking for years
“You made me do this” isn’t just for abusive husbands I guess
Great analogy, I’m stealing that.
like every geopolitical relation works like your family
Good one. The argument is still bullshit that disregards the agency of independent states to freely associate with whomever they choose.
Instead of this"provoking" I assume NATO should have simply attacked instead? You know, like Russia did over and over again?
no, NATO/US should have not provoked, simple as.
russia wanted to join NATO over and over for years.
Provoke how?
What about Russias multiple attacks?
When did Russia ever say they want to join NATO?
Clearly if Ukraine didn’t want to be invaded they shouldn’t have dressed like that
🤡
indeed.
Every economy in the world is slaved to perception. Doesn’t change the fact that in order for a war to happen in the South China Sea, the PRC will have to be the ones to start it.
Do you not see a problem with articles like this that justify their reasoning through bad faith?
The Chinese economy has been doing comparatively worse to how it had been doing previously. The article you sent indicates it’s been doing better than people thought it would be, but it still mentions China’s Albatross, the downturn in their real estate market. They could totally get through that downturn fine but investors are the most uselessly fickle people on the face of the earth
From what I have seen the downturn in the real estate market has been planned. The government over incentivized real estate growth so that private companies would over leverage and then the government could buy up these properties for pennies on the dollar to make them public. Of course western media is going to report on it like the sky is falling, it’s a communist country out maneuvering capitalism.
I have plenty of criticism for the CCP but the current real estate market really could be some 3d chess, and if so good for them. We will have to see how it plays out.
Making it public? Where? Never heard that. They stay empty, people own them, it is essentially the only way for them to save on money (investment), hence this massive housing market with the tons of building shells just rotting. Not to mention the extreme quality issues with their tofu dreg.
