NPR just ran an article about the consequences of PEPFAR aid reduction in Zambia, and it’s heartbreaking.

All Republicans should be tried for crimes against humanity.

Broken clock.

“In the CCP's view, China is not a capitalist country because despite the co-existence of private capitalists and entrepreneurs with public and collective enterprise, the state holds a monopoly on all land ownership and a primary ownership stake in the economy's largest and strategic enterprises, while the party retains control over the state and the direction of the country.[1] However, many scholars consider the Chinese economic model as an example of authoritarian capitalism,[14][15] state capitalism[16] or party-state capitalism

The final statement about “God” putting someone in to help them has got to be the dumbest cope I’ve ever seen. Truly gives the word “hope” a bad name.

They have multiple options presented to them and are too stupid to try something else, despite seeing direct effects of nearly unilateral decisions Trump’s made that fuck them over.

These are the type of people that will reject a state certified doctor because “God” will provide a healer for them, completely missing the irony.

Trump abandoned a legitimate Kurdish military force to the dipshit Turks during his first term. I agree with you that anyone talking about the Kurds fighting in any meaningful capacity in this conflict is delusional.

China does get oil from Iran, but IIRC it looks like they’re shoring up their oil shipments. Countries downstream of China seem to be getting hit harder e.g. Australia. China / Russia doesn’t want a pro-US coup to take over, but the IRG seems to be surprisingly resilient and I think they’ll view small shipments of support as sufficient for now, while they gain the PR win.

I don’t think Europe cares to make another antiproliferation or oil treaty if Israeli hostilities continue for they have no forceful leverage to stop the US or the rabid dog that is Israel’s right wing government.

IMO, China has no interest in helping their geopolitical rivals out of this mess, and Russia likely benefits from the US being engaged in another prolonged, dipshit war.

The EU helped Obama negotiate the nuclear antiproliferation treaty that Trump trashed during his first term, and Iran would look for a stronger deal from them because of that.

Pakistan doesn’t want further conflict on its borders, and will likely push for peace talks, but have very little to give in negotiations.

All other powers benefit more from sitting and watching this play out, blaming the higher inflation and fuels costs, rightfully, on the US and Israel.

The US needs to concede or force regime change for this to end anytime soon.

Clearly, but the upfront cost of an EV is out of the question for me atm.
