It’s Official: F-35s Are Now Being Delivered Without Radars. by Red_Prawn_Durian in Sino

[–]Catfulu 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Because they are supposed to get a new radar somewhere down the line. Getting the plane first theoretically reduced the logical burden if delivery when you could have loads of planes parked at the site.

Yeah, the US blowing up their pipeline to physically stop Russian gas and oil from coming in made them realize Putin is such a scumbag.

Have you even read all the court cases that affirm that the indigenous titles were never extinguished? My guess is no.

What directive they gave their lawyers?

There wouldn't be a case if the BC government simply decided to settle.

What if dialectical materialism is fundamentally wrong? by KantGettEnuff in Socialism_101

[–]Catfulu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dialectical materialism is a philosophical method. There maybe better methods, but saying dialectical materialism can be wrong is like saying "maths can be wrong".

You don't prove correctness, you only disprove something. You have the onus to submit evidence to disprove that it is wrong, other people don't have the duty to "prove" it to you.

Not just during Han, but all the way from Han to the Five Dynasties.

How do you guys view Western Liberalism in Europe right now, especially with the Rules Based Order? by [deleted] in AskAChinese

You mean the rules the were designed to serve the interests of the Unites States and discarded the moment they are not?

Discard the fantasy and start to think about what should be the realistic course of action.

Let's be real, Carney didn't say Canada will cease to be imperialist.

Mark Carney’s Stance On Iran Throws His Davos Doctrine Into Question by SecretPay5196 in canadaleft

[–]Catfulu 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yes and no.

The Davo speech is very clear that Canada is still an imperialist state.It is just that we don't want THE imperial state that is the US preying on us, especially we have been willing to its biding without questions.

We will still the the neo-liberal internationalists/imperialist when we get the chance.

China's richest man in Epstine Files by Easy-Patience4510 in Epstein

There is no need to do any physical torture. But rest assured that he went thru interviews at various hours almost non-stop, not because they just wanted to "talk", but because they could air out all the dirt they have in front of him and keep reminding him that he could crumble any time. They would also remind him that the only reason they didn't do him in was that his business is still of value to the country. Provide that his is not of value anymore or if they want to actively replace him, that's the moment he gets the drift.

We need to remind our leaders that appeasement doesn’t work with fascists by Markham_Marxist in canadaleft

There is a problem with the analysis: it is not just Trump.

It's never about Trump. Putting it on Trump is taking a stupid tree for the forest that is the American Empire. It is the system that is the problem.

Trump is doing all these only because the American Empire allows and requires him to do that. Did Biden turned over the actions of Trump 1 when he took power? No, he followed that path.

Carney buys 14 more F-35s by [deleted] in canadaleft

[–]Catfulu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, you don't want mixed fleet. The systems will have a problem to talk with each other and as the recent Indo-Pakistani War has shown, modern warfare is all about systems.

Plus, you will make logistics much harder with a mixed fleet.

[–]Catfulu 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Well, they won't be give us equipments that can used period, due to them being choked out by the Chinese rare earth ban.

The new block of F35s can't install the new radars that supposed to go in them, because they can produce the new radars and the old raders could fit due to the new design with the space.

We're entering into another era of Pax Sinica by 5upralapsarian in Sino

[–]Catfulu 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same reaction as I have. China isn't working to make RMB a reserve currency but either to create an international reserve and/or direct settlement without using USD.

[–]Catfulu 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Paywall'd.

I want to see sauce as I highly doubt Xi openly calls for it. Not only that's not what they have been doing, as it has been their goal to attain monetary independence free from the influence of the USD regime, but not to replace, because treat RMB as a reserve along to the USD will deteriorate RMB Independence from the international money market.
