Yes it is, because the map says “country” not “nationality”.

Tesla quote: “ I am equally proud of my Serbian origin and Croatian homeland. Long live all Yugoslavs”.

Of course, Reddit put the only person NOT from the Imperial core in the US. It’s insulting, but we here (ex Yu) are unfortunately used to that from the Westoids.

Pretty old news. This pier has already unceremoniously fallen apart, while doing absolutely nothing to help Gaza relief efforts, for the brief period it was active.

This so called “Pax Americana” we occasionally hear about, only applies to Western countries, but the author is trying to expand it to entire world, which is obviously ridiculous, given, you know…the reality.

If I remember correctly, they had their communist party split in two, so both the party in power and main opposition are communist.

However, the country is not doing that great, people are leaving for work etc, so what seems to me like liberals are gaining some traction now, at least locally, as my Nepalese colleague tells me.

I didn’t even add any special commentary. I literally just posted the list and the fact Germany is out of top 5 and Russia is in, and they were all in meltdown mode. It’s astounding to me, because I used to live in allegedly “authoritarian” socialist country and we were used to criticising and pointing out failures of our government all the time.

I posted this in gaming, mostly lib, forum and they had a meltdown yelling how Russia is about to collapse.

Me too, I just hope to see the USD dethroned during my lifetime. If Michael Hudson is right, the entire US military machine that runs on the fact USD is the global reserve currency, would crumble with it.

This is an old article. I asked the Marxist economist Michael Roberts for the next recession blog about it, but he said IMF numbers do not confirm what is being said here, so cautious with the optimism.

It seems to me US wants to “transfer knowledge” from TSMC, and they know it, so they are intentionally talking Chinese and bullying them with no intention of giving up their trade secrets to Americans.

What the hell? This article is so wild and TSMC is so “satanic” I actually felt sorry for the American workers.

Singaporean ex-diplomat said in one video…paraphrase: “The US is famous for 2 things, hating the Chinese and the Muslims. Now you expect us to believe they care so much about Chinese Muslims???” (laugh)

Media Bias Fact check has no methodology whatsoever and was proven to be unreliable and biased themselves.

This is IMF forecast data. Check how it looks like for the G7. Spoiler: it’s far worse than this forecast for China. How does the forecast of 1% US growth in 2024 fit into your “stable growth of the US”?

China is still growing far faster than the G7 so you missed the point entirely.

ICJ judges rejected Kiev’s argument that Russia used false claims of a genocide in Donbas to justify its invasion

I did and I still don’t get it where “ICJ judges rejected Kiev’s argument that Russia used false claims of a genocide in Donbas to justify its invasion”. Could you please elaborate? I genuinely want to rub this into someones face…

They are very likely not going to do that. Proving a genocide is an extremely tricky business. The Srebrenica genocide committed by the Bosnian Serbs was very hard to prove IIRC.

This is why the Uyghur “genocide” nonsense was so infuriating to me. Only the Zionists are unhinged enough to openly and proudly admit, they are, in fact, doing a genocide, so the court almost has no choice but to proceed with that case in particular.

This is literally the GDP growth rate. I don’t think you know what you are talking about, but please point us to a definition of the indicator you are talking about as well as to the comparison by country.

Is that really an argument here? I see here Ukraine accusing Russia of genocide, not what you wrote in the headline.

Eh, sorry to burst your bubble, but not really true about Tito. Plenty of Nazis and their collaborators lived their lives through the socialist period and were rehabilitated with honors after the anti-communist nationalists took over in the 1990’s.

The one single example where they did execute a lot of them was, when they were trying to run away to the West killing and burning their way through in the process, even after the Nazi Germany capitulated. They reached the British forces, who returned them to Tito’s partisans…many of whom, with their families, suffered greatly from these Nazis.

To this day Croatian Nazis are holding a memorial on that location (in Austria) backed by the Croatian parliament funds. Memorial was infamous for open displays of Nazi ideology until even Austrians got fed up with it…

The reprisals against Italian fascists and their collaborators were so small in scale, they are rarely even mentioned.

Here’s an article fromAljazeera I googled from 5 years ago and is still relevant. https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2018/5/11/bleiburg-far-right-croats-to-mourn-wwii-dead-in-austria

It’s a site which has no methodology whatsoever. Even Wikipedia mentions as much. It has been proven to be a complete joke on several examples. The site list CNN as some very leftist media outlet for crying out loud.
