Only people that think buying food is cheaper than cooking :
- those who don’t have light to power their fridge/freezers so they are jealous
- team “I only eat fresh meals”
- people who hate cooking
- lazy people
- terrible cooks
Meanwhile the historic Argentina side plays with 5 midfielders and no wingers.
There is no single formula to football. You can do whatever you want if you have good players and collective synergy.
Mbappe and France got battered for 80 minutes then Nico Otamendi’s brain imploded to let them back in the game when, fair, Mbappe went supernova for 15 minutes.
Argentina were far, far superior. had Lautaro Martinez not been on a Higuain vibe, it wouldn’t have been close.
Mbappe is a better World Cup goalscorer than Messi cause he scored 18 goals in lesser games but Messi is not a better goalscorer than Ronaldo with same logic
The irony in this story is overwhelming.
The guy fled China in 2014 because he faced prison for fraud and corruption. No-one believed China, despite them issuing an Interpol Red Notice for his arrest. Western media and US officials universally presented him as a brave dissident unfairly harassed by the "CCP" in a "politically motivated" way (https://t.co/z0vpZvYDrT) because he was fighting corruption (see this VOA story for instance: https://t.co/0rC47K7QDM), a complete inversion of reality.
Steve Bannon even started a nonprofit with him called the "Rule of Law Society." The irony writes itself.
Long story short and true to form, Miles Guo used his "dissident" credibility in the US to - guess what - defraud Americans of $1 billion.
And here we are, 12 years afterwards, with US courts essentially concluding "yeah no, he is actually a crook, our bad."
Which makes it probably the most expensive fact-check in history: $1 billion of damage to verify what an Interpol Red Notice said a decade ago.
I know I'll sound like a broken record but this is yet another fantastic illustration that the kneejerk anti-China bias in Western media is actively harmful. When China says "careful, that guy is a dangerous crook" maybe, just maybe, it's worth checking before branding him with a heroic "dissident" narrative that he can then use to rob your people's life savings... Just a thought 🤷
The US ended Germany access to cheap energy by destroying Nord Stream and then provided economic incentives for the struggling German industries to relocate to the US. However, our "journalists" can inform us the problem is a "full-blown assault" by China.
Anyone who views dialogue as a means to address or engage with terrorists who have destroyed communities, kidnapped innocent Nigerians for ransom, and tortured and murdered countless people should be equally yoked with the terrorists.
We need to recondition our public psyche. It should become politically and socially acceptable to make appeals for empathy towards terrorists, especially on National TV.
