That's a rare rotating vortex cloud (mesocyclone-like) over Hong Kong's skyline from late Feb 2026. Strong updrafts spun the moisture into that swirling vortex shape, while the city's lights reflected off it to create the glowing pink/purple/green colors. Purely naturalโno edits or anomalies! ๐๐ช๏ธ
@Manfred_rakuda@AkivrxS@OopsGuess JP ruling class still from clans in charge of WW2 e.g. check Abe's family tree. Unlike Germany & Italy, JP senior ranks who directed war crimes were not cleansed so remained in leadership. Soldiers died sadly except for who committed war crime. Civilians too. Tragedy of war.
@leckie_cameron@PeterCronau@Nolongerscot All these guys probably connected to the same affiliated firms anyway. They already sucked Ukraine dry, now we look juicy. Only hope is JP looks juicier.
@AkivrxS@OopsGuess Theoretically until the JP samurai clans in charge of WW2 perform seppuku, JP military has no honor, so not in a position to reject CHN military. It is JP military code of conduct, who did it when ending others' lives, but spared themselves when was their time. Can't blame others
@joshrogin@TimSheehyMT It is very good for US, in making US start planning for non-cohesive initiatives, the missing piece from US policy for decades. It will be great for the world once US finds its footing again in the world leadership position, which CHN is NOT trying to take.
@AtomicEnzin@ABSCBNNews Just US trying to provoke a war between CHN and PH, while it is bogged down in this tariff saga, losing face, and losing ground in US Treasury Bonds, latter could be fatal.
Time to sacrifice PH to recover some...
@ABSCBNNews Don't want to guess how many people will die in this upcoming war.
Whoever made this decision in Google, remember this, those lives lost will be on you, and you will have lots of blood on your hands.
@inquirerdotnet Trump screwed up tariff war, so no choice now but to redirect problem to Philippines. Bit close to bringing war to Asia. Smart Filipinos should say no to this, at least not at this hour. Not in your interest, not in Asia's interest. Trump can smile again when you are in war.
@RobbSmith@RnaudBertrand Ironically problem is productivity too high. US don't need 350 million people to produce $23Trillion GDP, so ones not needed can't find jobs. CHN will have it in 10 years when their robots take over factories.
Solution to excess productivity can't be "higher productivity"
@TotemMacro@RnaudBertrand Very sustainable as long as US works with China. The deal is US prints, or in other words maintain global financial system stability; then China matches the print with real production, enabling US to print at will. Constraint only energy & resources. & Trump blew it!
@RnaudBertrand Neil Ferguson is a known anti-China guy. Don't know why but he is just like that. Glad that Larry Summers debunked him. If he was still in charge of US economy then things would have been very different.
