Chinese exporters have to dump their goods into the EU as they lose access to the American market

I've seen you say this a couple times, and it makes me wonder: why can't the EU do the same tariffs/protectionism (which the US is doing right now) to prevent their green industries from being crushed? The Europeans seem to have expressed their willingness to suffer economically (Nordstream) to deal with a perceived military threat in Russia, so I'd think that their elites would be able to force the population to suffer the price increases that would come from placing higher tariffs on China (especially for the green energy industries you mentioned). The phrase "have to dump" makes it seem like Europeans have no choice in the matter even though they are the buyers here. They also seemed ideologically primed to accept any cost that would come from aggressive economic action against China, due to the anti-China hysteria that has been cultivated in the west for years.

Maybe it's a similar situation as in the US, where tariffs were ostensibly to protect and promote local industry, but the country is too deindustrialized and overpaid for it to actually work.

Putting my money on color revolution....the chorus of western media suddenly turning anti-Zelensky sells it for me

if you have a Windows installer, maybe you can just dual boot on another partition

This feels like a subtle suggestion to make some red cabbage sauerkraut! Blessed be the bacteria. May the kraut open 🙌

I'm pretty sure it's a thing around "seed oils" and potential negative health effects. I have no idea how credible that is or isn't, I've seen arguments in favor and against but I haven't cared enough to evaluate them (and i still use canola & peanut oil for high heat cooking)

Is there a link to this perhaps?

Sounds like complete capitulation to me...what does Syria get in exchange for this deal? Israel pinky-promising not to continue bombing Syria, unless they feel like it?

Do you use a news aggregator / RSS reader for all of that?

Border and Rule is a good book I've been reading that addresses a lot of these topics

Searched up "nazi collaborators by country" and the list was way longer than the ones I learned in school. It seems like so many countries / governments were actively complicit. Looks like I have some reading to do!
