I have great faith that any decade now Europe will actually do something on China

The author who wrote the book with the bogus water data that was the New York Times Best seller now lives in Hong Kong. Just saying

@DataRepublican @captive_dreamer you embarrassed yourself by behaving like a moron.

[L3v1athanState @L3v1athanS]

Your solution is permanent military occupation as a NATO "Mandate of Palestine"?

“A binational state comprised of ethnicities who viscerally hate each other could never happen!”

@The_Davos_Man The "Far Right" IS the only faction with a "solution to that issue." The so-called "Far Right" only exists in as robust a form as it currently is because it is the only faction willing to not quietly accept the slaughter of normal people by Islamists.

@L0m3z @ChHouseBooks I think the 2025 Mendelsohn translation would be better, imo.

My normie twitter is filled with leftists doomspiraling and infighting.

My right wing twitter is filled with right wingers doomspiraling and infighting.

It really is fascinating to see both side acting like they've lost their mind.

@arthur_wright_ I had to take an anthro course during my grad program (museum studies). I was shocked by how self hating of the very discipline it was. I'm used to dealing with very ideological profs and material as a historian, but was shocked by how much more sever it was in anthropology.

@NaturalHierarch I mean, Islamic fundamentalists supported by the government are trying to either exterminate them or force them to convert. It's one of those "not my circus not my monkeys" scenarios were I get why one side has been driven insane, but still want nothing to do with them.

Russia under Witte and Stolypin was the fastest-modernizing great power before WW1, with annual GDP growth of around 10%—until the Bolshevik lunatics derailed this trajectory and plunged it back into the famine-ridden feudal ages with their insane economic policies

[L3v1athanState @L3v1athanS]

@alexriesart The most outspoken people against an American moonbase are leftists. Why lie about that?

[L3v1athanState @L3v1athanS]

It's kind of insane seeing the regime and brain dead troglodytes like this try and link the IR to the Achaemenid Empire, given that a huge amount of IR propaganda was rooted in arguing against this and condemning the Shah for trying to drawing links to the modern Iranian state

Kavad I became Shah with the support of the Spet Xyon
Khosrow II Became Shah with the support of the Romans
Mohammad Shah Qajar became Shah with the support of the Russians and the Russians and the British.

Three off the top of my head, but I'm sure their are more.
Why lie?

@AzadehMoaveni in @NewYorker profile: "No monarch in two and a half millennia of Persian history has invited a foreign power to attack the land of Iran, and nowhere in the long literary tradition of royal counsel—known as andarznameh, or “mirror for princes”—has an exception been made for the cause of ending domestic tyranny. This is the current predicament of Pahlavi." 👇

@Italian347 They used to be an empire and went toe to toe with the Portuguese... now they just sit around and pretend not to exist.

[L3v1athanState @L3v1athanS]

@seld_on There's literally footage of the morons hitting hotels and the Burj Khalifa of all things in Dubai, which unlike Abu Dhabi, doesn't even host an American military base you cow. You're hysterical temper tantrum is absurd.

[L3v1athanState @L3v1athanS]

@seld_on serious question, are you brain dead?

[L3v1athanState @L3v1athanS]

@BasqueOli I was complaining about this last month. It amazes me that the Eurotrash right, don't even know their own history.

Hong Kong

The 99 year lease did not apply to the island itself, only the New Territory. Britain was under no obligation to surrender the Island, but was forced to because supplying it was totally untenable if the PRC cut off supplies which they said they would do.

@kubexpol @iamspritz @kunley_drukpa According to Napoleon III, yes.
