it's a fluff piece about the leader of a major foreign market for s.korea and a nation that has thousands of troops in its borders.

whats weird about that?

even if we are to assume for the sake of argument that reporting about joe bidens love of ice cream is an extremely normal thing to do that is not as we speak being widely seen as evidence of grotesque sychophantry in domestic american media

the article does not identify an original source to the contrary it watermarks all the photos and implies that the reporting in question is original and in a glorious move to accentuate this absurdity the name of the publication is literally THE FACT written in english signifying the belief that people who speak english must by definition be smart and trustworthy

the article itself bothers me less than the comments which both fetishize biden as an adorably grandfatherly character and also assume that if this is the kind of dumb bullshit THE FACT sees fits to report about in american news there must not be anything else going on at the moment what a great country america must be to live in

Part of his plan was to make a deal with China in which the United States would normalize relations with China and accept Taiwan as a province of the People’s Republic of China. In exchange, China would pressure North Vietnam and the Provisional Revolutionary Government in South Vietnam to agree to U.S. terms for peace. This is what Nixon meant when he wrote “Taiwan = Vietnam = tradeoff” on his yellow pad before meeting with Chinese Premier Zhou Enlai in 1972.

Gamers Nexus is very good at what they do. The channel isn't actually about China or politics really but he's interested in computers enough to go right to the source and even learn some of the language so he can talk to contacts and sources.

n'thing that Gamers Nexus is pretty cool and they actually get into the details of how stuff is manufactured and such which is fairly dry stuff most youtube context doesn't get into but is actually really awesome. Even if you're not into computers et al his looks at manufacturing and computer markets in the mainland and Taiwan are cool.

Detroit still has some auto manufacture, health systems and food products like Faygo and Verner's. Detroit's GDP was 237 billion in 2019, about 60% the GDP of shenzhen with 4% the population. not to say Detroit didn't go through some apocalyptic poo poo but people are making stuff, just less than before

GDP isn't the same as making stuff. having a high GPD just means rich people are selling office towers to each other. i do enjoy the wide variety of faygo sodas but its not as cool as a mega warehouse full of wholesale electronics

Iirc the idea for digital camo is that it kinda sucks but it's decently effective at multiple ranges and in multiple situations. So your beige digital camo would go on everyone operating in an arid environment even if it only sort of works.

Digital camo is fine, what made the ACUs universally hated wasnt that it was digital, it was that the color scheme worked exactly in just one place, iraqs urban areas. Stained easier than BDUs and looked horrible after a single year of use getting completely faded.
