  2.  @eonglee44  Define well. There are people from all over the world dying to get into the US. Looking at the state of the economy and COVID-19 outbreak, China is not doing well. There's not even enough females to keep the population growing.

  3.  @eonglee44  Believe it or not, I have a lot of respect for China, its people, and its history. It's the oldest and probably most-influential country in the world. During the early 20th century, it went through a period of weakness, colonialism, and instability. It should be strong and rich since it has the largest population, but it's hard to recognize the country and appreciate its history and culture under communism. It's not my country, but watching films such as The Last Emperor, which was approved by the CCP and permitted to film in the Forbidden City, it becomes obvious how drastically China has changed. It's not just the government, but the culture, heritage, and open practice of religion. Every country deserves to be rich, but most economist already know communism and centrally planned economies doesn't work in the long run. If they did, the West would have adopted the model. That's why the CCP has allowed private businesses to operate. The problem will come when the inevitable recession and market correction happens in China. The economies of the US, Japan, South Korea, EU, and UK are free-market economies and work on business cycles. The government only controls regulations, taxes, and fiscal spending. A central bank controls interest rates, money supply, and how to respond to inflation and recession with monetary policy. Recessions and unemployment are painful, but they're required to make the economies more stable, productive, innovative, and robust. In the US, people will be homeless, suffer from unemployment, and exposed to violent crime, but they have access to the strongest and most stable economy and currency in the world. They also have the right to petition the government (and sometimes their employers) for change, and exercise free speech. When the recession happens in China and people are angry and in the streets, what will happen?

  4. If it weren't highly illegal and unethical, I'd ship you the vaccines, testing, and therapeutics available in the US. There may be scholarly disputes on protection against re-infection and the impact of herd immunity, but there are no doubts about the lowered risk of hospitalizations, pneumonia, and deaths now that more treatment options are readily available.

  6.  @fishlivesmatter  It's the most important part that matters in confronting Russia and China.

  7.  @iggy5347  That's because unlike the CCP, Russia, North Korea, and Iran, the US global hegemony consists of allies that welcome and support America and Britain's historical leadership role. The US foreign policy and hard power is made unilaterally. There wouldn't be American regional dominance in Europe, the Middle East, and the Pacific without the countries that have allied with the US and allow the US to have bases to counter China and other hostile adversaries.

  8.  @iggy5347  The US and EU are stable economies. Why are you comparing that with the CCP. It's already slowing down and is near recession? The US and EU have been growing at the same rate for over a century. Even China uses US debt for security and the US dollar. Are you sure you understand how economics work?

  9.  @rameshg2717  That's not dangerous. That's called economics. Russia is going to China and India because they've been kicked out of the second-largest economic market in the world: The European Union. The country already had a dying population. Now they've lost hundreds of thousands from war and dodging the draft. The petroleum and natural gas market of India and China combined won't replace the revenue lost and assets frozen from the financial sanctions and economic warfare that have ruined the economic prospect for Russia's future GDP growth. China is struggling to reopen in the midst of the world's largest Covid-19 pandemic. it's going to kill more people than that died in Europe, India, and the US combined. China and Russia are moving closer together because is because the West is more united and targeting them.

  10.  @iggy5347  Australia is obviously not afraid of the CCP since they've critical of Xi and is preparing to send nuclear-powered subs to patrol the South China Sea. Japan, South Korea, the Philippines, Taiwan, Australia, North Korea, and even India are uniting against China's regional dominance. Those countries are the reason the US has so much military power in the area.

  11.  @iggy5347  What is China debt-to-GDP ratio? They have a debt bubble and empty cities. India is not China's largest trading partner. The US is China's most important market. The US isn't dying because it's population is growling from mass immigration. China and Russia are the ones closest to collapse. China and India were on the brink of an inevitable war due to border conflict. You must not be from the region if you don't know about China and border conflicts with every country in the region.

  12. ​ @iggy5347  China’s GDP blackout isn’t fooling anyone There is diminishing faith in the few economic indicators that, after years of obfuscation, still see the light of day If you had paid a visit to China’s National Bureau of Statistics in the days following Xi Jinping’s election as general secretary of the Chinese Communist party in 2012, you would have found a cornucopia of economic data. The number of people employed in the outdoor playground amusement equipment sector, natural gas exports from Guangdong to other provinces, the electricity balance of Inner Mongolia. You name it, they published it, along with more than 80,000 other time series. But just one year later, those three series and thousands more were no longer updated. Skip to 2016, and more than half of all indicators published by the national and municipal statistics bureaus had been quietly discontinued. The disappearances have been truly remarkable.

  25.  @Alex-pj8nz  What is with the rules comments? Are you reading my comment as encouraging fast track membership to the EU? It's more related to the military and sanctions. There's a war right now, and Europe is fighting it using his economic power. The rules and membership requirements are definitely European Union law but not relevant to my post. My office respond is "😶."

  26.  @Alex-pj8nz  I'm talking bout taking the lead in confronting Russia with financial sanctions and providing Ukraine with weaponry. It might be a bit off-topic since I didn't watch the video but after the 2014 Crimean Annexation, the Malaysian Airlines attack, and Kremlin-backed positioning in Europe, the US had taken the lead in confronting Russia. Ukraine is not a potential "51st" US state either, but they are helped primarily by the United States. The German-led European Union is the superpower that should be helping them since it can do much more economic damage to Russia by cutting dependence. As far as the European Union entry procedures for new members, I really don't have a remark since it's not relevant.

  29.  @jasonkingshott2971  It's not a competition. I'm from America, so compare the UK's aid with the billions America has already sent. You'd quickly get dwarfed. You're on the same time as Germany and the EU. Get out of the Brexit phase and save the trolling and ballsy statements for the Russians. It's easy to attack another liberal democracy, so use that energy for Russia, India, and the CCP.

  30.  @xRepoUKx  They're doing a lot better than they were in 2014. They've committed to investing $100 Billion into their armed forces and reducing dependence on Russian gas and energy products. I can understand they're not in a similar position as the United States, which can easily ban and embargo all goods and services from Russia. They'll begin outspending Russia and increase the size of their military. If they do have de facto control of the European Union, at the conclusion of the conflict, Germany will be a superpower comparable to the US, China, and Russia.

  33.  @jeromesolomon9093  China is not Iraq. It would take all the resources and allied support of the US to defeat them militarily or contain them economically. Trump was an isolationist afraid of military confrontation. What did he accomplish?
    1
  34.  @jeromesolomon9093  China's economic potential was artificially constrained by the US for decades. It was Nixon who opened China, not Obama. You can't attack them for being a US competitors. The US private sector does that. Their GDP growth, which is questionable, will level off before for the mid century and be surpassed by the US again. It's a communist system, and no where near as powerful as the US or Soviet Union. Taiwan is as close to Mainland China as Cuba is to the US. It's even part of the same country, but they can't retake it because of the US. The Obama Admin is the one that initiated the freedom of navigation in the South China Sea. The reason I'm saying you're wrong had nothing to do with politics. US foreign policy with China and Russia isn't made by the president, and won't change just because of a new administration. That's why Russia-US relations never improved even though Trump was friendlier to Russia than Obama.

  35. I could be wrong, but I think the problem with the male foreign-exchange students leaving Ukraine is because all able-bodied men were expected to remain in Ukraine and defend against the Russian Armed Forces.

  36.  @BornInMetroBF3onPS3  They've already mentioned that the African exchange students, who are male, were given weapons and told to remain in Ukraine to fight. I can give you the link to the video when the students give their reactions after being told to remain in Ukraine. The legal process in most countries is that able-bodied men register with the military and be cleared before leaving the country. A "state of war" is an emergency. The government controls the border and decides who can leave. In the US, foreign nationals (male) still have to register for the Selective Service System. It's not just US citizens. Were you thinking that Ukraine has suddenly become hostile to foreigners? There's no other reason they would have issues with foreign men leaving the country.

  37.  @Pointi69  You don't think Germany is capable of countering the influence of Moscow, Washington, DC, and Beijing? If that's the case, why have the EU or an increase in military expenditures? Are you still using guilt as part of foreign policy?

  38. If they dropped grenades on civilians inside of Russia, and without declaring war, you could possibly have a point. It sounds like you're very confused and just want to be part of the discussion.

  39. If you can't back up threats, you shouldn't issue them. The Kremlin has enough on its plate, and it's in no condition to confront another nuclear power with a much larger military.

  41.  @timphillips9954  If you're not familiar with the US' role and its level of contributions to the war effort since 2014, then why post criticism? The US has given Ukraine nearly every weapons system requested and provided intel; it's funding the Kyiv government and humanitarian efforts; it's leading the economic warfare and financial sanctions regime against Russia; and along with Poland, it's managing the logistics of delivering the weapons inside Ukraine. The US, UK, Russia, and Ukraine were all part of the Budapest Memorandum that de-nuclearized Ukraine in exchange for security assistance. Despite the American contribution, it's not directly at war with Russia and still has to seek some approvals from the European host nations and NATO. There are still European nations opposed to the US giving offensive weapon systems they believe could expand the war.

  46. I have a lot of respect for the wartime politicians and diplomats from Ukraine. Most of the world underestimated their chances of victory and their will to fight and defend against a military superpower that doesn't recognize their independence, legitimacy, and international border. They've made good use of the economic and military aid from the West, including the weapons systems and intelligence that has been provided primarily by the United States and United Kingdom. The Zelenskyy-led government and armed forces have proven they're capable of successfully defending their country without NATO troops on the ground fighting along with them. If Ukraine requests additional air-defense systems to protect its civilians, I personally believe we should provide it. At this point, failure, military defeat, ethic cleansing/genocide, and occupation isn't an option for our Ukrainians allies.

  48.  Majed Talib  That's all politics from the Kremlin perspective. Hardly impartial at all. Some of it might be true, but most of that is Russian disinformation.

  49.  Majed Talib  If you were there, you'd know the legal justification why the US intervened, and why neither Russia or Syria has officially asked them to leave the country. Doesn't that seem strange?

  50.  Majed Talib  why haven't they made a request? All they have to do is say you're unwelcome, so please leave.
