Despite talk of a slowdown, China's progress remains steady. They're still surpassing 20 countries every 5 years, putting them on track to meet their 2049 goal of rivaling developed giants like the US, Japan, and the EU.

According to recent data from a report, China's Human Development Index is currently at 0.788, which suggests that they are on track to cross the threshold for Very High development (0.800) by the year 2025, more than doubling the population of humans living in Very Highly developed countries.

The UN report highlights a global slowdown, with much of the world falling behind. Notably, China has significantly outpaced India, its closest competitor in terms of population and size.

This sheds light on the debate about development models. Supporters of liberal-democratic capitalism might struggle to explain why this approach hasn't delivered similar success in India compared to China and Vietnam, two countries seen as more successful development models.

TLDR

  1. Western planners underestimated Russian strength and assumed their defense lines would collapse upon breach.
  2. Ukrainian brigade training was insufficient, too administrative, and short.
  3. Western equipment is considered less efficient than Soviet due to maintenance issues and degraded mode capabilities.
  4. The report emphasizes Russian superiority in defensive tactics with heavy machinery for fortification.
  5. The Russian army is recognized as the technical reference for defensive strategies.
  6. Western press reported Moscow's lack of interest in soldiers' lives, but confidential reports suggest otherwise.
  7. Russians practice "Maskirovka," appearing weak to hide their true strength.
  8. A stampede occurred during the loss of Avdiivka on February 17.
  9. Macron presented other reports to political opponents, challenging Western press's underestimation of Russian capabilities.
  10. Ukrainian general staff lacks a critical mass of ground forces capable of breaking through Russian defensive lines.
  11. The most serious error is seeking exclusively military solutions to end hostilities.
  12. A French officer concludes that Ukraine cannot win the war militarily due to insufficient forces.
  13. Ukrainian soldiers' fighting spirit is affected by ongoing conflict.
  14. Zelensky needs 35,000 men per month but isn't recruiting half of them while Putin draws from a pool of 30,000 volunteers each month.
  15. The Ukrainian failure at Avdiivka demonstrates that Kiev is not capable of re-establishing the collapsing front with an "elite" brigade's dispatch.

I really think we're entering an inflection point where there is sufficient critical mass that makes it possible for countries to band together and resist the empire. And the war in Ukraine has been the catalyst for this. The west ended up being sucked into a conflict on a scale it simply wasn't prepared for. A huge chunk of the existing western military assets ended up being committed to Ukraine which necessarily weakened western grip on the west of the world. Meanwhile, the economic war on Russia resulted in the creation of a whole new economy that's operating outside western control. BRICS is now a bigger economic bloc than the entire G7, and this trend will only accelerate now.

I recommend reading what people who actually have a clue have to say on the subject https://www.russiamatters.org/analysis/whats-ahead-war-ukraine

Ah yes, National Interest, a famous Russian propaganda outlet. Get yourself checked from brain worms ASAP.

I agree, I’d phrase it as if your labour is the primary means of paying your bills then you're working class.

The fact that the Chinese spy balloon couldn’t collect any data just shows the quality of manufacturing I guess. That or they need to work on their ability to steal technology to get it to work for them. Who knows. What it doesn’t make it is “a so called spy balloon”.

Or you know the obvious answer that it wasn't actually a spy balloon and you're easily convinced of nonsense because it fits with your racist views. It's easier for you to accept that China can't manufacture a spy device because of that. Also, this may shock you, but China has spy satellites and doesn't need to use balloons. The fact that you even think this story is plausible further highlights your view that Chinese are some primitive barbarians using balloons for spying.

The most hilarious part here is how you just keep doubling down on this acting all smug. Once again, there is zero evidence for your conspiracy theory, but you keep on digging there.

I'm very sorry that you aren't able to understand what the stories I post actually say in black and white. Just to emphasize the point once again, US has produced ZERO evidence to substantiate the conspiracy theory that this was a spy balloon. US military has now admitted that the balloon did not collect any data or send anything to China. Yet, we still have people like you running around trying to pretend that this was a spy balloon.

I understand it's hard to accept that you've guzzled propaganda and now it makes you feel stupid to admit that you've been had so easily.

A spy balloon that US military concluded didn't do any intelligence collection. You are very intelligent.

Yes, the boomers got theirs, young people today don't have the same prospects. What part of that are you struggling with?

Average American has around 100k of debt, and over half the population can't afford an unexpected 1,000 expense. What that says is that people are barely making enough money to make ends meet, the chances of them saving enough resources to stop working are nil. Only a tiny percentage of the population is going to be retiring at all.
