Ukraine's Zelensky stays in power despite term expiring (www.bbc.com)

spoiler“He’s doomed to not be loved!” Never was there a more clear-cut case of “commentator’s curse” than when Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky was inaugurated on a sunny Kyiv day exactly five years ago. The TV narrator’s inference was that, after a landslide election victory with 73% of the vote, it could...

I recall somebody saying how Ukraine is increasingly becoming more like the west, while the west is becoming more like Ukraine, and not in a good way.

Ukraine war: what we know about the secret deal that could have ended the conflict in April 2022 (www.leparisien.fr)

Yeah, I remember that came out recently. Russia basically pulled back as a good will gesture and the west spun it as a big win. And completely agree that Russia has been incredibly naive, they just kept falling for western bullshit time and again all the way since Gorbachev days. Seems like the lesson is finally starting to sink in though. China’s been far more competent politically in my opinion.

That’s also a really good point, dems can get away with more because they do the hand wringing publicly acting as if they’re doing heinous shit against their will. What they’re doing in Gaza is a perfect example of this dynamic. They just keep saying how they’re working to stop the genocide, which is what people want to hear, while actively doing everything to facilitate it. And another related factor is that while most people do find republicans appalling, there is enough of a base that doesn’t. So, republicans can always come out and say the most heinous shit that’s going to scare the majority precisely because there’s a significant minority that wants it. So, the threat of the greater evil is always going to be there.

China Sells Record Sum of US Debt Amid Signs of Diversification (www.bloomberg.com)

China sold a record $53.3 billion of US Treasury and agency bonds in the first quarter of 2024, likely due to escalating trade tensions and a desire to diversify its assets.

Absolutely, and the whole world can see it. Anybody who’s not a US vassal will be actively working to exit western economy now.
