With the coming change I hope more countries will join the Belt & Road initiative.

What’s rich is that it mentions specifically China and Russia, but no word about US interference.

They probably have enough Mossad agents in the upper management or upper management blackmailed by the Mossad.

You’re acting like getting oil from Iran is somehow less moral than getting it from the US.

Well there’s his racist and anti-semetic remarks in the past, as well as having followed far right mouthpieces on twitter. The worst though was an apology video for anti-semitic remarks where he chose to wear a hoody featuring prominent iron crosses.

Huh this and the thing with GrapheneOS. Has he actually redeemed himself?

Debt is sustainable as long as it doesn’t outpace GDP growth. Debt is how the world has run since global markets and capitalism. Only since the rise of neoliberalism have debts been cursed and politicians would rather let their countries stagnate with a lack of investments.

If you really want more income, you can always squeeze the super rich and multi-national corporations. And prevent them from leaving the country with draconic punishments. One thing that China does well in that regard is that any billionaire who does not follow, will be disappeared. That is the only way to treat those thieves.

Why is that insane?

No one says you can’t also raise the state budget in general. No one says you can’t make new debts to pay for it.

Neoliberals have simply manufactured too much consent to normalize austerity and demonize deficit spending.

Sad. But didn’t expect anything else when they haven’t banned the Bild for years.

Merkel really needed another Mossad paycheck?

Absolutely going in the wrong direction.

I wish more countries would riot like France over increasing retirement ages.

They’re not trying to shoot themselves in the foot. They just have been able to get away with this same stuff for decades, so why not continue?

With that logic why still bar Russia from it? Just don’t watch it…

Because she’s still in politics. Her party barely didn’t make it into parliament but still received historically more votes than any other party in their first election.

Palestine doesn’t have a regular army because they’re not allowed to be a regular state.

Why should that matter? At the end of the day an army is an army, whether it is commanded by an official state, the leadership of a political organisation, a terrorist organisation or by itself. And in the case of Israel-Palestine both commit planned out terrorist acts and atrocities.

This still seems like a one sided approach to moderating the issue.

While law demands the censorship of certain criticisms of Israel and Zionism, there are none in regards to Palestinians.

That doesn’t mean equal rules shouldn’t be applied to the other side.

If you cannot argue for the end of Israel, you should neither be allowed to argue for the end of Palestine. If you cannot defend the actions or existence of Hamas or Hezbollah, neither should you be allowed to defend the actions or existence of the IDF. If you call for a one state solution it should include equal rights not only for Israelis but also Palestinians.

Immigration is an issue too.

Immigration drives up rents in cities while at the same time giving the economy cheap labour and keeping wages down.

As long as immigrants are not guaranteed the same wages as citizens and are not distributed across the country, including the country-side, immigration is a net negative. The only ones profiting are employers and retirees.

Prove it then.

Your statement is false until proven. It’s coming straight from American three letter agencies.

Show us that evidence then.

This is only a US propaganda talking point. Uyghurs aren’t repressedy neither is there a genocide against them. They can live their culture and language. What China is doing is using draconic measure to combat terrorism and separatism in Xinjiang. Fighting seperatism and terrorism isn’t slave labour or genocide.

Labour is a dead party walking. It had its last chance with Corbyn but squandered it and allowed the media to slander him.

Now you can see openly which MPs are owned by the US with this move. The argument of slave labour in China is one manufactured in Washington. There are bad working conditions in various places and there’s corrective labour, but no slavery.
