Incredible Western journalism here quoting Boers crying about reverse racism without even mocking commentary.

Between European sanctions against Russia, the inefficiency of Western military procurement, and the peninsula-wide move to significantly increase spending on the unproductive military sector, this subcontinent's real economy is never growing again under capitalist rule.

It wouldn't have even mattered! Article 9 was slapped onto Japan, but the actual regulation of a defeated genocidal state's military is whatever the occupying force determines. And so it was immediately de facto repealed when the Americans remembered to be anti-communist, and the American-approved Japanese government continues to come up with justifications to weaken remaining limits. Genocidal states can only be rectified by applying the doctrine of state suicide put forth by Radical Republicans following the American Civil War to international socialist historically-contingent conditions (and since WW2 was an alliance between the socialist bloc and one imperialist bloc, these conditions were not met). In other words, Germany and Japan ought to have been nationally dissolved and incorporated into the international proletarian culture of the Soviet Union over the course of a few decades. Alas!

Why would someone who emigrated to the U.S. from a poor country champion ideas that keep poor countries poor?

...

Mr. Mamdani’s ideas on economics and international relations mirror the failed policies of socialist-era [sic] India

So true bestie. I suggest Democrats champion ideas that turn poor countries rich, such as socialist revolution, decades of communist-party rule, five-year plans, a dominant state industry sector, and becoming the largest producer of steel and concrete in order to build hundreds of millions of homes.

What an excellent piece of rhetoric from the high school republicans club! Why did WSJ publish it though?

Or alternatively, maybe this vindicates the pasta/noodle distinction. Spaghetti is a noodle. Tortellini and ravioli are dumplings. But all of them are pasta...

If natural disasters are going to occur and intensify from human activity you're (American state) responsible for and you're not going to do anything to mitigate them, it's better to just not acknowledge it whatsoever I guess?

The military almost put its foot down when the executive branch told them to kick out all the trans soldiers. I wonder if they will actually do it this time?

Military bans permanent shaving waivers, which are predominantly used by people with pseudofolliculitis barbae, which predominantly affects black men, and the article discusses the possibility of laser hair removal, which also infamously is not as effective on dark skin! Wow!

So why even place it in the media? Why not just do what they do in Lebanon and strike without warning and announce the results later?

If the goal is to destroy cultural heritage sites then it makes sense to prime Americans to expect it and be okay with it before you do it.

If you don't want high wages then you need low cost of living. There is no one who understands the economy less than a small-business owner.
