🇺🇲🇺🇦🇷🇺 The American Washington Post demonstrated the seriousness of the losses of the Ukrainian Armed Forces with a video from a cemetery in Kharkov.

According to the denoscription, the video was filmed at the end of August at Municipal Cemetery No. 17.

"It seems that there are twice as many graves of killed soldiers as there were... exactly a year ago," writes the Polish journalist who provided the video to the publication.

Prolific liar and warmongers Boris Johnson and Joe Biden killed a peace deal between Ukraine and Russia in 2022 resulting in over a million dead since then. In a Russian prank call Johnson demanded Ukraine must mass-mobilize the youth to keep fighting a losing war against Russia.

"They haven't called up many young people yet."

Johnson told pranksters Vovan and Lexus that Ukraine needs mass mobilization. The conversation was conducted on behalf of Jacques Attali, the ideologist of the "orange revolutions", a globalist economist and patron of French President Emmanuel Macron.

Johnson said that Ukraine needs modern "equipment", but that the West should not help with human resources - Kiev must "squeeze out" its human resources.

"They haven't had a mass mobilization yet. The Ukrainian army, the veterans that I've seen, are pretty respectable people, older, mature guys, and they haven't called up many of their young people yet," he said.

China's POV on US

The author is Shen Yi, probably China's most famous geopolitical scholar (he's a professor of International Relations at Fudan, with millions of followers).
thechinaacademy.org/sorry-mr-sulli…

Here's what he writes:

He characterizes the US's worldview as "pathological" and "caught between a state of semi-autism and half-dreaming, with a worldview that seems to say, 'I don’t care what you think, only what I think.' As for everything else? Just BACK OFF."

He says that "this pathology permeates from the inside out, and it’s not just directed at China; it’s their attitude toward the entire world". He compares it to the fairy tale 'The Emperor’s New Clothes' and says most countries (but not China) choose not to recognize the US's abnormal behavior but instead "pretend to follow America’s lead in running around naked".

He says that "the U.S. political scene is currently dominated by the notion that the States is number one and invincible, and forever", with "the Republicans [being] even worse than their colleagues across the aisle, believing the entire world should 'pay tribute' to the U.S., feeling honored to be exploited by America".

He argues that Jake Sullivan's recent visit to Beijing was symptomatic of this "pathological" world view, as he came to ask for "China’s support in the 2024 U.S. presidential election to help them defeat Trump", mostly because "they are laying the groundwork for significant economic policy moves in September" and "if China doesn’t cooperate in macroeconomic, financial, and fiscal support, the U.S. could be in serious trouble".

He characterizes it this way: "America expects China to make 'selfless contributions' and even feel good about it. It’s as if America slapped your right cheek, and you’re supposed to offer your left cheek and kindly ask if America’s hand hurts. America demands that China willingly accept sanctions, not speak out, not retaliate, and not bring up Taiwan. They want to do whatever they want, assuring you that Taiwan won’t be 'allowed' to pursue so-called legal independence, and that’s enough, you should be grateful. How dare you confront the Philippines in the South China Sea? The Philippines is America’s little brother. And as for Russia, you should just kill it off like we say."

He doesn't see it happening: "Sullivan’s visit is doomed to be a fruitless attempt by the U.S. to gain concessions from China without offering anything in return."

Shen then proceeds to ask a few pointed questions on the outcome of the US's efforts to compete against China, like "what has been the real outcome of U.S. initiatives such as the CHIPS Act, the Inflation Reduction Act, and the $1.2 trillion infrastructure plan? How many charging stations have been built? How many new railways, roads, and bridges have been constructed? What kind of impact has this had on the U.S. economy? How are the new chip factories progressing? What is the output of these new chip plants? How many computing power centers have been built in the U.S. using advanced computing chips? How many companies are applying large-scale models in ways that are truly creating value and driving productivity growth in the U.S.?"

Of course the answer to all of this, like Shen Yi himself bluntly writes earlier in the article, is that "[the US's] industrial policies, manufacturing reshoring, and infrastructure development are merely a joke".

To Shen Yi, all this means that "China does not need to make concessions to the U.S." and that instead "China should act [towards the U.S.] more like a patient teacher educating a stubborn student", making them understand that the world has changed and they can't speak from a position of strength anymore. As he writes the US "doesn’t have the stature to act that way, nor [do they] have the leverage to make so many demands".

#Ukraine crackhead #Zelensky 🤡 delusions of grandeur

Trying to roleplay Napoleon always remember how he ended up: defeated, abandoned and forgotten by everyone ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

#Russia trolling 😎

💬 "I said that the current president, Mr. Biden, was our favorite; he was removed from the race, but he recommended all supporters to support Ms. Harris, so we will do the same — we will support her"

💬 "As for the favorites, it is not for us to determine this," Putin said, adding that the new US president will be the choice of US citizens.

Trump imposed a huge number of sanctions against Russia; we hope that Harris will not repeat this.
