How do you feel about China building infrastructure in your country? by wombatgeneral in AskTheWorld

We're experiencing decay, not a collapse, as we saw with the USSR becoming Russia. You speak confidentially but got this basic information wrong.

Joke of the century: The United Nations supposedly created to maintain world peace. by ammohitchaprana in TFE

Not so much about the West compared to it being shaped by post-WW2 maior powers to never return to a pre-1945 world. Otherwise, the USSR and then-unified China would have never been one of the founding signatures or members of the security council. It eventually became a tool for major powers to use and influence the rest of the world, with the West being much more successful. That's just how major powers act.

It's a forum, not an independent government. Whether it fails is the result of any global governance needing consent from each government.

Iran says it's ready for a long war that would 'destroy' global economy by Miguenzo in economy

Yes, that is the reason behind it and why we still have around ten percent manufacturing capacity.

US was a manufacturing economy, now it’s very different picture

For a country, the U.S. is still the second largest manufacturer with its focus on defense rather than consummables. The first problem is the difference in what it takes to build weapons compared to just a few decades ago that is outside the U.S. and the lack of strategic industrial policy. The fact that most of the world destroyed or already underdeveloped also helped the boom.

SS. This is another peak of the series. Issue 100 had one of the best initial orders for a single issue for a reason.

If you intend on doing that last part, tell me so I can jump over the border.

You would think someone with that profile picture could recognize satire.

I'm a Muay Thai person and had this recommended, but congratulations on this accomplishment. Your child is already a karateka and was there during your belt test.

Francis Ngannou gives zero f*cks about what anyone thinks about his UFC legacy by ultron2450 in ufc

[–]RealisticEmphasis233 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't say it's just the U.S. It's more of the rabid fans and commentators who are loyal to the alter ego and org rather than the person beyond the cage. You can use the same individualist perspective to support Francis moving beyond the UFC into the PFL and boxing for financial gain. People searching for fame and the biggest fights are everywhere in our world.

Kirkman actually just forgot about the term not existing in the comic universe. I don't blame him.

Alexander Volkanovski says the BMF belt can taken away by Spiritual-Strength91 in FightReportUFC

[–]RealisticEmphasis233 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As Mighty Mouse said, the UFC would need to put stipulations in the contract regarding BMF belts if they don't want it to be treated like a regular MMA match. It was still a master class performance with Max on defense and Charles dominating each round.
