This is a masterclass. Watch every minute.
and we are supposed to believe the Chinese are stealing our technologies...
A Chinese glass firm turned the riots in France into free ads!
Hengxinfeng filmed nothing at all!
It shared a clip of its unbreakable windows online, and the video blew up!
Epic trolling!
This is what happens when your country invests in technologies instead of funding wars!

Okay, I will admit that Norway does have one or two good things going for them.... But they fail in the only thing that matters. What a shithouse country.

This Australian's reply to Trump's rant about “NATO not being there for America” is perfect.
"Mate. You run a country with 600,000 homeless people sleeping on the street tonight. A country where 40% of adults can't cover a $400 emergency without borrowing money. A country where insulin costs more than a car payment and people are rationing it to survive. A country where medical debt is the number 1 cause of bankruptcy. A country where women are dying in hospital car parks because doctors are too scared of abortion laws to treat a miscarriage.
You lock up more of your own citizens than any nation on earth. More than China. More than Russia. More than North Korea. The land of the free has 2 million people in cages, and a quarter of them haven't even been convicted of anything. They're just too poor to make bail.
Your life expectancy is going backwards. You're the only developed nation where that's happening. Your infant mortality rate is worse than Cuba's. Your kids do active shooter drills between maths and English while you sell the gunmaker's stock to your mates.
Your minimum wage hasn't moved in 15 years. You've got teachers working 2 jobs and veterans sleeping under bridges and you just spent a trillion dollars flattening a country that didn't attack you.
And you’ve got a convicted felon, adjudicating raping, paedophile protecting, porn star shagging insurrectionist running the biggest dumpster fire war campaign since the Taliban in Afghanistan thanked you very much for losing again.
And you're calling Greenland poorly run?
Greenland has universal healthcare. Free education. One of the lowest incarceration rates in the world. Nobody goes bankrupt there because they got sick. Nobody dies in a waiting room because their insurance said no.
'NATO wasn't there when we needed them." When exactly was that, champ? September 11? Because NATO invoked Article 5 for the first and only time in history FOR YOU. Soldiers from dozens of countries deployed, fought, bled, and died in Afghanistan FOR YOU. Australia wasn't even in NATO and we still showed up. For 20 years.
And you pulled out at 2am without telling anyone and left them to deal with the mess.
So maybe before you start calling other countries poorly run, have a look at your own backyard, you spray-tanned aluminium siding salesman. The only thing poorly run in this picture is your f----- mouth."

Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov🇷🇺:
‘Over the past 500 years, all tragedies in the world originated in Europe or occurred owing to European policies: colonisation, the Crusades, the Crimean War, Napoleon, WW1, Hitler…’
After 300 years of slaughtering the peoples of the world and plundering the wealth of the global south to build the cities of Europe…
Their empires crumbled in 1945. Since then, all they have had to offer the world is neocolonialism, uncritical vassalage to the United States, and now face being an afterthought and an irrelevance.
Instead of recognising a new world exists where neocolonialism will not be tolerated, and prioritising economic rejuvenation via engagement with the rising powers of the 21st Century…
Europe instead decides to invest its remaining and dwindling fortunes into the military-industrial complex to fight a war against Russia which none of their populations are remotely interested in…while the rest of the civilised world invests in trade and development.
Europe had a last chance to look to the future, and instead violently jerked their heads 180 degrees back to the past.
Prof. Richard Wolff: ‘The only solution for Europe’s decline to re-orient themselves to the rest of the world. The only European country to have done that is RUSSIA🇷🇺.’
‘World Wars One and Two were the culmination of European colonialism, in which the leading colonial powers slaughtered each other on a spectacular level that the world had never seen before or since, luckily speaking. But that was the end of all of those empires.
Only one survived: the United States, protected by the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans and by the limits of air power at that time, they came through. You know, Russia lost 27 million people in World War II. The United States death count: 400,000. No comparison between these two.
The last 70 years have been the uni-empire. The United States inherited, benefited from, and consolidated, and became the global empire. With all the wealth that had been siphoned out of the so-called Global South to Europe, now going instead, here to the United States.
The United States gave a portion of that back to Europe, a kind of debt, if you like, of having inherited all that empire, all that wealth, but they never gave the empire back to the Europeans, so they lost it, and now they’re losing what little bit they held on to, and it’s over.
And the question is, can military Keynesianism replace the fantastic transfer of wealth in the 17th, 18th, and 19th century into the 20th? And my answer is no. There is no way that that domestic program can do for England or for Europe, all the colonial powers, what they lost.
The only way to do that, ironically, would be for European countries to understand the need to reorient themselves to the rest of the world, and there’s only one country in Europe that has done that, and that’s Russia.’

For 30 years, Western elites preached that transitioning to green energy was the single most urgent crisis of our time.
The second China actually scaled up manufacturing to make green tech affordable for the planet, they changed the rules and rebranded it "overcapacity."
The truth is simple: Western leadership would literally rather let the planet burn than allow a non-Western nation win the green energy race.
My latest deep-dive on the "Overcapacity" lie is live now:

The Americans spent 20 years and 3 trillion Dollars replacing the Taliban with the Taliban in Afghanistan.
The Chinese have just delivered their first freight worth 8 million yuan to Afghanistan.
Billions more to come. Where the US made war, They make business.

Here we have Chinese venture capitalist and political scientist Eric Li delivering a brutal indictment of the Western political model.
He argues that countries blindly copying the West are setting themselves up for failure.
Democracy promises power to the people but repeatedly fails to deliver real meaningful results.
Elections become little more than political theatre, and voting is sold as empowerment while leaving ordinary citizens trapped in a system that often serves the powerful, not the people.
China chose its own path, and it delivered results.....

The Worlds most powerful man, Vladimir Putin, has instructed 800,000 French people to take to the streets.
Kremlin operatives are also on the streets of Spain, Italy, Greece, Portugal, Belgium, Austria, and Albania
Its all Russias fault.

China implemented Hamiltonian economics with a free market, but without the problems of capitalism.
They didn’t waste trillions on endless wars, investing instead in innovation, manufacturing, and education.
Look at the infrastructure in the video. “Their man from the World Bank” told them to put all into infrastructure.
It worked.

The War Criminal Campbell has smeared me and @TuckerCarlson tonight on X. When I knew him he was the willing accomplice at the @DailyMirror of Ghislane Maxwell’s father Robert, usually just carrying his hat and coat. So besotted was he with the greatest thief of the century he broke the nose of a Guardian journalist in Parliament for celebrating the fat thief’s trip to Davy Jones Locker. Later he served the War Criminal Tony Blair with similar gusto. He lied and cheated his way through the Blair era, deceiving parliament and people and world opinion equally. None of this has seen him banished from Labour or the great British media and Establishment society, quite the contrary. That he has turned his grease-gun on Carlson and me says more about the Epstein class who still rule than it does about us.

The Secretary of Defense, Pete Hegset, when discussing vital U.S. interests in the Asia-Pacific region, seemed to have a limited understanding of the topic.
- I'm very glad you raised this issue. Can you name at least one country that is part of ASEAN, and what agreements do we have with it? Just one. And by the way, how many members are there in total in this organization?
- Listen, I can't give you the exact number, but...
- Exactly!
- But I do know our allies in South Korea, Japan, and Australia, with whom we have an agreement on submarines...
- Mr. Hegset, none of those countries are part of ASEAN. None of the three you mentioned. If you're going to discuss this topic, do your homework first.
ASEAN – The Association of Southeast Asian Nations: Brunei, Vietnam, Indonesia, Cambodia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, Singapore, Thailand, and the Philippines.

While I was learning Chinese, we used to love the Confucius Institute because they'd give us free text books so we didn't have to buy them from the university.
I remember in my city, the Confucius Institute had native Chinese speaking volunteers who could help with our study, and practice chatting and so on.
When it was time for Chinese exams, which are super difficult for native English speakers, they'd do their best to help us go over our class material etc.
Absolutely invaluable.
Sometimes we could also take classes making dumplings and traditional fans and other arts. It was fun because you could learn new Chinese words and phrases at the same time.
And I can tell you this: never once was politics brought up, let alone anything else apart from our study.
Seeing that the US has classified Confucius Institutes as a national security risk literally made me laugh out loud.
Honestly, what is up with the US and why are they adament on accelerating their own descent so freaking quickly?
We've always known that the West, especially the US-led West, was declining, but I could never have guessed it would happen this fast, and it would be completely and utterly at their own hand.
The US is scared of shadows, and it's freaking hilarious. 🤣
