  1. If China wants to lie to the world, then the World needs to stop trading with China. That simple. Sorry Apple. You made a huge mistake building all your plants in China.

  2. I feel like the ammount of foreign aid provided to the Ukraine by the US is equivalent to the cost of WW1 at least in materials…. we might as well be just fighting there

  3. Notorious NATO can support Ukraine, China cannot support Russia? Then why were some NATO countries bombing Yugoslavia and Iraq? Afghanistan anyone?

  4. Strangely enough, Turkey a NATO country also supplies dual-use equipment to Russia. India buys Russia oil and makes good money on petro-refineries while selling the refined oil back to EU countries. The USA, who sanctions Russia the most, is still buying uranium from Russia. Why then NATO did not call out these countries for supporting Russian war in Ukraine??

  5. Yea, saw this coming for a couple years now. Gaza and Ukraine are too small to offer the west a major event that can reverse our decline, so are we going for the big one-maybe WW3? Remember what they said about waking the sleeping giant America in WW2? What if china is the new sleeping giant?

  6. NATO and the US caused the war of Russia and Ukraine, and the US kept on exporting weapons to fan the flame of war despite multiple peace proposals from Russia and China. You lie! Just look at the history, who is perpetually at war with other countries? China builds and trades, the US (and now NATO) bombs and bullies.

  7. Biden has dementia, but the pro-Democratic media in the U.S. can pretend not to notice it for four years straight.
    Recently, it became too obvious because of that debate, so they pretended to question Biden's dementia again, as if he had no symptoms before. On stage, he made a move to sit down (standing on stage but not realizing he was standing, thinking he was sitting in the audience). At parties, he had a stiff smile on his face, standing still with his fists clenched for several seconds, and such scenes kept appearing. These are all typical symptoms of dementia. The older one gets, the more likely they are to develop dementia, but there's a difference between not having dementia and having dementia. Many elderly people, even at 90, do not have dementia, while some get it at 60. Elderly people with dementia are no longer fit for any position or even any job. In the first 1-3 years, it might still be manageable, but by around the fourth year, it becomes unsuitable as symptoms progress to the second stage. Biden's abnormal behavior is becoming more frequent, almost 100% certain that he will only get worse in the future. Therefore, he should not continue to serve as President of the United States. However, the pro-Democratic media in the U.S. are trying their best to cover this up. Recently, they diverted attention by saying Biden does not have Parkinson's disease. People are questioning dementia, yet they intentionally divert focus to Parkinson's.

  8. The fact that the US is a warmongering country. While russia who is protecting their border is being labelled terrorist. Look how many millions are been killed by the US. On foreign lands thousand of km far away. Iraq no mass destruction its citizen who resisted the invasion has been called terrorist. Afghanistan more casualties. Now after all the destruction they made. They left out in the hand of taliban. And many many more. US is fox masking itself as a sheep

  9. Now NATO targeted CHINA,
    a soft squeezie,
    a scapegoat
    to NATO's own failure in stopping the Russo-Ukraine War.
