I mean China is also getting financial benefits from this. Nothing is free. But their way of financial gain doesn’t involve dropping bombs on families and insulting the native residents
it's not just that, Russia's recent actions have caused a surge in worldwide popularity. Turns out most of the world can immediately clock Ukraine as a fascist western proxy and think it deserves to get invaded.
Iran's popularity also recently surged after it launched its missile attacks on Israel. The masses of the world can see through the imperialist horseshit that western leftists fall prey to.
it's crazy to me there's an overlap of like 10-20% of the population that approves of both Russia/China AND the USA. Just naive friendly folks who have no idea what is happening I guess and are inherently trusting
Polling almost always self-selects for those with resources to waste answering questions. Even paying for responses is still going to systematically exclude employed working-class people who don't type emails for a living. Are the poor unemployed people gonna trek across an entire city just to get to the university campus...for $15?
Unrelated, but I wonder why all these random samples of 700 landline voters never indicate broad support for public housing?
Who’d a thunk that a country full of neo-Nazis that see everyone that lives on your continent as vermin would eventually see their trade relations be impacted.
In the book, Noem explains in excruciating detail how she gunned down a 14-month-old wirehair pointer named "Cricket." What crimes earned this dog the death penalty? Noem reported that the puppy was disobedient and out “having the time of her life” during a pheasant hunting trip and that the animal later attacked and killed a neighbor's chickens.
The ill-fated Cricket proved not to be a bad hunter, after all, but was guilty of killing the wrong kind of bird. According to Noem, since a shock collar didn't instill the desired discipline, the only reasonable thing to do was to kill the excitable and “untrainable” pup.
Noem, who became governor in 2019, likened murdering her canine to having the ability and willingness in politics to do anything “difficult, messy, and ugly.” It’s not the only animal she chose to sacrifice that day, she wrote: "I realized another unpleasant job needed to be done.”
