And obviously it's a regime change operation, it's called Operation Rising Lion. Anyone familiar with Persian history will immediately get the reference to the sun and lion, part of Iran's flag until the Islamic Revolution.
Interesting, not sure many people noticed that even here, I certainly didn't.
People just refuse to understand Israel isn't Ukraine and this isn't Graham's "we're killing Iranians ~~Russians~~ for cheap" kind of war.
I don't think the US is going to magically build industries and factories, even for a war effort since that in of itself is taboo. The whole idea that Trump was going to re-industrialize the US was always anti-Marxist. How is the US going to industrialize when ~30% of the Russel index corporations are zombies(unprofitable and only survive through debt) and Trump wanted to deport all the cheap labor etc...
Even stuff libs were saying about how Trump could invoke the defense whatever act to nationalize SpaceX is bonkers. This idea has always been MAGA communist adjacent too as if the US president is ever going to take some US factory by decree. Biden`s BBB was a massive failure already. Everything they do needs to be some congress spending bill for 5 years into the future, the list of issues is endless.
The real problem is the US currently existing arsenal. The US didn't participate in Ukraine, they went out of their way to send the most obsolete Abrams tanks as possible, they scoured eastern EU to find Soviet era fighters, the F-16s are F-16A or whatever literal cold war museum shit.
Meanwhile Israel is getting backed up by real F-35s and B-2 bombers. Its a completely different situation and yeah this is the real danger the F-35 is a meme but you only need some of them to work.
I think the major problem here is you take the mainstream econ theory as truth and validation that you're correct. Just because everyone and their mother repeats the consumption narrative you think that it is correct even though its not.
China has been retreating on the Biden negotiation since late 2023. I mentioned many times, Yellen and Blinken went to China to force the issue that China needed to solve their trade imbalance. The CPC folded and started doing consumption stimulus shit because it is what their mainstream neolib advisors taught them. All of what we the supposed "Marxists" say about building industry suddenly becomes moot because western educated "economists" say otherwise.
I'll give you a very specific example, here this page compiled some of these Western economists saying the exact stuff you repeat here. These are some of the economists pushing exactly for this.
Dr. Feng Lu - Ph.D. in Economics, University of Leeds, UK, 1994
Here is what one of them admit to
Some European think tanks have expressed concerns about China. They worry that, under the pressure of U.S. tariffs leading to a reshaped global trade structure and the gradual closure of the U.S. market, China’s surplus capacity products may flood into other countries and regions, putting pressure on Europe, Asia, and South America, making it harder for them to survive. This concern is somewhat reasonable, and it can even be inferred that if China continues to follow an export-oriented manufacturing model dominated by the supply side, countries across Eurasia may follow the U.S.’s lead and introduce trade protectionist policies, ultimately resulting in a fragmented global trade environment similar to the pre-World War II period. This would significantly increase China’s difficulty in expanding its geopolitical space. In contrast, implementing the “Two 30” major strategy would be a more feasible path.
Achieving the target of increasing domestic consumption by 30% by 2030 is both achievable and idealistic, making it a grand strategy. Drawing on the experience of European and American countries in the thirty years after World War II, these nations accelerated their transition to domestic demand-driven, service-based economies by strengthening social security, improving labor education levels, enhancing public services, and reinforcing innovation. When facing U.S. tariff bullying, many believe that the U.S., as the largest global consumer market, is in a dominant position, and other countries, as suppliers, must accept changes to the rules or risk losing out. However, this view is outdated. Historically, the evolution of economic entities and strategic decisions shows that the positions of parties A and B are not fixed. With China’s increasing income levels, changes in development concepts, demographic shifts, and technological advancements, if the decision-makers can implement reforms to strengthen social security, improve workers’ education, build public welfare, and perfect social security for migrant workers, farmers, and flexible workers, China could accelerate its transition to a domestic demand-driven economy, rather than merely positioning itself as a supplier.
Can you spot the mistake here? This quote doesn't understand the only reason Europe grew post WW2 was exactly due to its destruction. European capital had a brief moment of very high profitability because Europe had been temporarily de-industrialized.
Likewise there is absolutely zero acknowledgement that the only reason the EU can become a "domestic driven, service-based economy" is literaly because of Western imperialism. Without this benefit this is not possible.
Yet they literaly admit to idealistic plans to turning China into Europe 2.0 based "on the same experience".
This is despicable garbage.
You keep repeating this here on the megas for months as "this is what China needs to do" etc. I tried arguing against it a few times but it is a pointless endeavour to keep repeating stuff. Let the people who go to a "Marxist-socialist" site embrace the comments supporting neoliberal-keynesian off brand that come directly from the mouth of western educated economists if they want was my conclusion.
Now the Trump tariffs was the first time since then that China could have hit back decisively and force concessions out of the US. Instead they're the ones who conceded to the tariff hike.
In an alternative world the CPC wasn't clueless and didn't just follow western educated financial advisors, they would not have folded on the overcapacity issue and Trump would not have any way to force his tariff shit because China would have already told Biden/Yellen/Blinken to eat shit.
If Tucker fucking Carlson is the person who ended up saving the lives of countless Iranians, that’s an all time “extremely critical support” moment.
This is not the first time. Trump's indecisiveness is partly because with Tucker gone now both sides of the media want the war.
Who cares what China will win in 100 years, big beautiful Chinese socialism they'll inherit a destroyed world with billions of nationalist eco fascists on their borders.
This has been going around climate science circles since Jan 2025
(Planetary Solvency — finding our balance with nature. Global risk management for human prosperity. Jan. 25th, 2025 Institute and Faculty of Actuaries University of Exeter, pg 32.)
China doesn't want to fight now based on some delusion they have 50 years when we have not even 10 or 20 lol. But sure believe whatever you want though it would be faster to drop the mask and admit they don't care.
Like I seriously hope to god you're not actualy thinking cheap Chinese solar panels will solve climate change, specialy when they are about to destroy their whole industry because the west complained about overcapacity. Its such a beautiful contradiction to witness.
This thread is about Hasan and this is usualy the cheap ass shit people will say to discredit him. "lol streamer, rich streamer even what a lib, don't practice what he says" etc. All of that despite the fact its not 2021-22 anymore and he has been on multiple protests and supported Gaza from day one(one huge donation stream in the first week) and he literaly almost took an ICE bullet the other day. Yes he is not perfect, he supports Ukraine etc.
Now if you want to argue about random Twitch streamers sure I guess it applies, death to Asmongold or whatever but who cares though, I just think dunking on Hasan with 2021 rhetoric is pathetic that is all.
In this case, the news is telling him not to go to war with Iran, but everyone around him is telling him to do it, except probably for the beautiful generals who are giving him 'the options', hence his waffling.
Just to correct this bit it seems Fox news is hawkish and that is his main source(ex 1, ex 2). This is the major difference from the Bolton era when Tucker at Fox was IMO one of the most important voices that convinced Trump against it.
You were making conspiracy theories that Biden/Ukraine were desperate so they would nuke/false flag the Paris Olympics.
Biden already destroyed Gaza, there is nothing left, we knew this by October, frankly after 6 months even. The only "pro-Trump" argument was he could be a wildcard while Biden is a known quantity. He pretty much began the genocide, calls himself proudly the biggest Zionist etc. How on earth would Kamala be better?
Like jesus did you miss when she literaly shunned away the pro-palestinian protesters? Arguing for tactical Kamala voting is stupid when she already crossed the Zionist line. Did you think Kamala got the nomination because she was different? Holy shit the rich Dems only got embarrassed because Joe was about to either shit his pants or have a heart attack on live TV.
For us with little hope left a wildcard choice on 100% Hitler is still better hope than the known quantity continuation of the genocide from 99% Hitler. There ought to be no prizes for saying 100% Hitler can do some things worse, so what? As far as Gaza is concerned their fate was sealed if the status quo remained.
It seems you just didn't read the room. This mega culture constantly struggles against doomerism that is why we don't say the obvious shit. Do you need to be constantly reminded Gaza's genocide was far more likely to succeed than not? That there is no hope beyond some savior complex from China or Russia?
If you noticed that absence of such comments during the election as a confirmation that perhaps Biden could be a better choice you completely missed... everything.
And just for argument sake if China weren't cowardly shits we could be having a real economic fight right now over the Trump tariffs, Trump gave us the opportunity to make the US weaker and "we" didn't take it. Now we shall pay the price for that choice? Nah Biden was better trust lol.
lol let them meme, for some people its perpetualy 2021, its cool to meme about people being "streamers" as if nothing happened since then while posting 
China winning doing nothing.
About as rich as China calling themselves communists at this point. Probably done more for Gaza than these larpers too. He almost immediately organized that charity stream while these dipshits were meeting Hitler in San Fransisco.
They could do that or you know, just point out you try to cut the already meager social welfare for literally poor and disabled people in the most unequal country in the world. Maybe point out you dance and squirm like a worm trying to justify your neoliberal appointed ghoul keeps raising the interest rate which literally now sits at 15% which is the historical high. Maybe point out there have been severe scandals in your government including the latest social security pension scandal that is making your shit government incredibly unpopular. How you literaly promised to reverse the privatization of Eletrobras but after 3 years you cowardly piece of shit refused to even take the issue to congress.
I'm sorry this is worse than slop, who cares about what this ghoul is saying?
