Reporter: Will China join nuclear disarmament talks? China: Of course. Once the U.S. reduces to our level. For fairness, we can even do it per capita. 😌

So tell me again how it was “Hitler vs. the world.” Because when you look closer… half of Europe wore his uniform. Italy. Slovakia. Hungary. Romania. Finland. All officially declared war on the USSR. Norway, Denmark, the Netherlands, Belgium, Spain, France, Switzerland, Albania, even the Czech lands – all sent “volunteers” into SS divisions: Viking, Nordland, Nederland, Wallonie, Blue Division, Charlemagne, Skanderbeg, Bohemia and Moravia… It was a shameful European crusade against Russia.

Freudian slip …
It's a stupid argument. Taiwanese are of course different from Mainlanders, that doesn't mean they are not Chinese. Mainland Chinese are equally different from other Mainland Chinese: Chinese in the Northeast are different from the Chinese in Shanghai or Guandong or Hebei or Sichuan. They all different from each other. They look different, are of different average height, speak different language dialects, eat different kinds of food, and even have slightly different cultures. They are all Chinese. Taiwanese are more similar to Fujianese, than are Chinese in Beijing to Chinese in Guangdong.

Pogledajte kartu plana brzih železnica koju planira EU. Na njoj nema prolaska kroz Beograd, ni kroz Niš, kroz koje je pre 100 godina tutnjao Orient Express. Nema prolaska ni kroz Novi Sad - jasno je da nije bezbedno. Ovaj plan je posledica Vučićeve politike, koji dosledno sprovodi radikalsku viziju Srbije kao rupe na evropskom zlatnom tepihu. Verujem da plan može da se promeni i verujem da na to možemo da utičemo. Za početak je potrebno da sa vlasti uklonimo štetočine koje jedino znaju da prave rupe. #BorbaTraje

I say this with a lot more respect and love for Japan than most Chinese have. Since I am not Chinese. I know it's complicated and there is a lot of baggage. I am just saying mind your own business.

For those without context: this is Tiananmen Square. The flag that gets raised here is the current, official flag of China. The photoshopped flag is the flag of Japan's imperial's army. Really unhelpful in 2025. Japs should really watch it. We aren't in 1930s. It's 2025. 100 years later. Japan is weak and if China wanted to overrun Japan, the Chinese flag would be raised over China's East Capital (东京 aka Tokyo) in no time. Americans would have to trade New York and San Francisco to prevent it and you know they'd never do that because they don't give a shit about you. So watch it and behave.

"Surprising". Surprising as in sanity? French are building Belgrade's subway. It will be done in, like, 2045. It would be done in 2029 if the Chinese got the contract. But the Chinese got the HSR contract so Vucic thought he needs to load balance, a little to the Chinese, a little to the Russians, a little to the EU.
Ho Chi Minh City’s metro line 2 (11.7 km-long) will begin construction soon. The surprising news is that the chosen contractor is China’s Guangzhou Subway Design & Research Institute. It was previously almost certain that it would be a European contractor. tuoitre.vn/tp-hcm-phat-dong-…

Sure I make 1/4 of what I used to make now in a Chinese company in Serbia, lowest I made since I was 23, I also work the least hours and... get this... they pay me for every overtime hour, per 0.5 hour. The local Chinese here in Serbia tell me they work more hours than any Serbian, and that may as well be true. Zero of them have ever worked more hours than I have worked in Silicon Valley in the 1990s. Lots of bullshit going on all around. Zero tolerance. Chinese, American, Serbian, I don't give a fuck, you are all the same to me.

"Apparently, people in China find it hilarious that Silicon Valley has started doing 996 too." Huh? You people are too young for me. Silicon Valley has been doing 10107 for four decades. Do you need receipts? There was a book "Nudist on the Night Shift" published in 1999, and then there's this photo. What is wrong with you people? You think history starts with you? C'mon man. Maybe time for an unfollow. You gotta get the basics.

Весьма неожиданный скандал в Сербии: 21 ноября в Таиланде на конкурсе Мисс Вселенная Сербию представит жительница Якутии Елена Егорова. У неё есть сербский паспорт, который ей купил её папик Моше Ман, еврейский миллиардер родом из Сербии. Он же купил ей место на Мисс Вселенная.

In other Serbia (X) News: this is the woman representing Serbia at Miss Universe in Thailand these days. Her name is Elena Egorova. She was born in Russia's Yakutia and is an ethnic Uzbek or Mongolian (various theories). Mostly Serbian women are reposting asking "WTF?!" She has a Serbian passport.
So WTF is the purpose of EU/Commission burning billions--BILLIONS OF EUROS every year--in cash if not to solve that problem. That is their entire raison d'etre.

This argument hits very hard if you don't consider that Belgium and Germany are two different counties with two separately operated train networks. And now EU is trying to solve that but "iT dOeSnT gEt MoRe EuRopEan tHaN tHaT". EU do something=bad EU don't do something=bad

Why Russia should end Ukraine, since it cannot respond against Sweden and others. All of punishment for entire NATO should bear on Ukraine and that really simply means the end of Ukrainian state. This is the fate Ukrainians chose for themselves. Many, many off-ramps, but they choose to be NATO's spear in its goal to dismember and end Russia. You can't just now say, oh, well, I guess that's not happening so let's make a deal. Simply put, if anything of Ukraine remains after this, Russia has lost.
🇺🇦🇸🇪 Sweden financed 400 strikes on Russia. The Ukrainian Minister of Defense flew to Stockholm, where he thanked Sweden for allocating funds for 400 long-range UAVs. "Grateful for joining the PURL initiative. We appreciate participation in the 'Danish model,' thanks to which we were able to send the Armed Forces of Ukraine 400 deep-strike drones" , he said. The "Danish model" implies financing the Ukrainian military-industrial complex. Denmark itself provided Ukraine with 1.2 billion euros in 2025. "Great meeting with the Danish Minister of Defense Troels Lund Poulsen. We emphasized the effectiveness of the 'Danish model' of financing the Armed Forces of Ukraine: just this year Ukraine has already received 1.2 billion euros from Denmark under this model" , Shmyhal said during the visit.
