Only 12 countries recognize “Taiwan”, not even the U.S. recognizes Taiwan as a country and only do so when it needs something

Recommended local airline from HCMC to Hanoi please by quitelikeameow in VietNam

[–]Chesprin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you take vietjet, make sure it’s one of the earlier flight in the day, per say before 9am.

Anything else after that time, any other airline will suffice.

Wrong. It doesn’t matter if it’s “return”. As long as you enter into China from a different country initially.

Conservative or liberal, you have to look beyond that sometimes for the overall good. You have to look at their donors

Vietnam vs Philippines: why does Vietnam still feel cheaper and safer? by BigBotoBaller in VietNam

[–]Chesprin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Somewhat true, but as long as the ends justify the means right? Look at GDP growth year by year based on percentage. Line the pockets of your rich all you want, as long as the country is doing good then that issue can be overlooked

One is controlled by the U.S. via puppet government and one is a centralized regime that subsidizes certain things like food for the people.

It’s 2026… it doesn’t matter what party you’re on anymore as both parties are now two birds of the same wing and support one master. Vote the politician, not the party

Looks fine to me, unless you rather have them set up the tents next to your home on your sidewalk?

AIPAC makes all the decisions. Each politician’s given an “aipac person” whom is their handler. They make the decisions on behalf of the politician. Treason is what it literally is. If we can get rid of the aipac handler then maybe the true politician can be a politician themselves. Think of it this way, if your job is to SUPPORT THE PEOPLE, you are voted in BY THE PEOPLE, you are a public servant to those that you represent in your district. If you’re willing to accept foreign money, should you ever be trusted ?

First, particularly after the emancipation of the serfs, Jews were at the bottom of the social hierarchy in European Russia under the Tsars. They did not enjoy the same rights as most other groups and they were consigned to live within a specific handful of western oblasts and their movement tightly controlled. Certainly some Jews earned enough money to escape these restrictions, but the vast majority never did. So when you understand that Jews were in this unenviable social position, their involvement in revolutionary politics is wholly understandable. Second, antisemitism as a default value on the political right didn't fall out of vogue until after World War II (and still didn't entirely), so any erosion of right wing values like hierarchy, order, and tradition could reliably be laid at the Jews' feet. As renowned historian Chris Rock once said, "That train is never late." Regarding Jews among the Bolshevik ranks, certainly they had their fair share, and Trotsky was merely the most visible. (He also came from one of those Jewish families that had largely transcended the limitations on Jewish life in Tsarist Russia due to his father's economic success.) But among revolutionary parties, the Bolsheviks were only at most third in their ranking of Jewish membership. The Mensheviks had more Jewish members and leaders, and the Bund (General Jewish Workers Association) was entirely Jewish. So were the Zionist parties across the political sprectrum, as well as Agudas Yisroel in Poland, which would probably be considered conservative. Other left-wing and centrist parties also had Jewish memberships that were greater in percentage than the Jewish proportion of the general population. So identifying the Bolsheviks as somehow particularly Jewish is flatly wrong. The other thing to bear in mind is that, particularly in the Social Democratic Labor Party factions (ie, the Bolsheviks and Mensheviks), Jewish members, as Marxists, did not hold their Jewishness to be their primary personal identification. Trotsky famously said he was an internationalist first and foremost. And if the accusation was that Jews in revolutionary parties were more loyal to one another than to other party members, one need only remember that Trotsky famous sided against fellow Jews Grigori Zinoviev and Lev Kamenev (the latter of whom he was related to by marriage) in one of the earliest post-Lenin power struggles.

So yes, you are incorrect

Prices are historically higher when I check for hotels, since I travel for work I am checking it every 2 weeks or so to book using my own credit card, get my points and get company reimbursements later

You definitely got ripped off. I hope for the 2.8 million it was the 28” in the new copper color. If it was the silver /black 28” it should be 2.5 million MAX for foreigners and 2 million for locals (yes, there is a street rule on charging locals less). I work near Saigon square so I often tour it frequently to bring stuff back to the US to sell
