They’re really, really bad at context. The main failure case isn’t making things up, it’s having text or image in part of the result not work right with text or image in another part because they can’t even manage context across their own replies.

The Chinese president’s visit to Europe yielded little breakthrough on issues like trade and Ukraine. But it did show that Beijing prefers to work one-on-one to avoid collective opposition to its interests....
I don’t know, does he realise how weak this visit made him look? It just looks like he’s scared to me.
Visiting a couple of 2nd or 3rd tier nations gives the appearance of someone not trying to get anything done, just bask in paid for glory from people too small to matter.
(Yes I’m from the UK and this entire comment is a dig at France. Come at me)
Visiting France only, then two client states, drags France down to the level of client state. Not the nation itself of course but it makes the visit look uninportant.
Why not Germany? Why visit the EU and only one of France and germany? Sure France is important but the way this has been done by China doesn’t give the appearance of a country seriously engaging with the global stage. It looks like they popped into France on the way to some friends. Or deliberately chose one of France and Germany to try and stir something.
Overall not a serious visit showing “disunity in Europe” but a poor attempt at stirring trouble and revealing how little china cares about anyone it can’t just buy and bully into obedience.
It doesn’t even need to be applied, saying it can happen and showing it once forces a massive logistical cost on Russia to protect itself by moving weak points further back, extending supply lines even more, or concentrating under any anti missile defences.
If they were a failed asylum seeker why weren’t they just deported back to their home country? Why pay them to leave us when they have no right to be here at all?

Europe’s phoney war with China is at an end. After years of building up an improved arsenal for a trade war, Europe is now showing it is willing to get tough on Beijing....
No wait, your problem is xi is flooding the market with cheap homework so there’s no point in anyone else doing it. It’s easier to just use his that he’s practically giving away leading to everyone being dumb.
You want to… er… do your own homework so you can grow up strong and clever.
Once the train operator contracts expire and revert to the government the rolling stock companies will find they’re negotiating prices with a single very informed, very long term customer who can essentially set the price.
They’ll be begging to sell up. Itll be after the next GE by the timeline labour have put though so I’d expect it in that manifesto
Move will see Britain spend 2.5 percent of GDP on defense by end of the decade as Downing Street urges ‘other major European NATO economies to follow.’...
So yeah you could assassinate someone like that, or you could break every cars brakes at once and have thousands of simultaneous car accidents timed during some other infrastructure attack
This specific idea seems to be a mix of climate change denialism (they want us to stop driving) mixed with COVID time authoritarian scares (forced internment, stay at home etc) and while we know Russia has helped push parts of these ideas before or pushed this after I think this one really did originally come direct from the right wing American billionaire owned think tanks.
This specific idea caught on for some reason but they’ve been chucking out variations on this crap for years
Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk has delivered a blunt warning that Europe has entered a “pre-war era” and if Ukraine is defeated by Russia, nobody in Europe will be able to feel safe....
You’re right about a Russia/NATO war being unwinnable for Russia. Even the current military of Europe alone would be enough to see off Russia.
So, what is he warning us about? I see two (not exclusive) things he could be doing.
Trump winning in America would cause such stress on NATO it would fragment, and even if they kick America out it still looks weak so they want all of Europe to beat the 2% requirement to try and keep trump’s USA in NATO.
Second, he’s warning of war with china. This is where my money is.
Enforcing a blockade around an island full of long range anti ship and air defences, aided by the US military, is extremely hard. Also and more importantly it’s a very long dragged out war that gives Taiwan time to build allies, and the west to organise, which will make it harder and harder to enforce.
Finally you’re replying to someone saying the war will take a long time, which you initially disagree with then go on to talk about an embargo which more than agrees with it. It’s going to take ages to resolve if they attack and it’ll almost certainly include Russia distracting NATO in Europe. I dearly hope china sees sense and gets rid of xi before his desperation for personal achievements in his lifetime causes the nation and world a lot of pointless suffering
