You on whats app?
Or you can just pause the video and do a screengrab.

Salute The Pig, by Chris Bulow @salutethepig.berlin · 4d

Fascinating video by Anna:

“The "Polar Silk Road" is a game-changer for trade, delivering essential goods like solar panels and EVs to Europe while challenging the dynamics of the US-China trade war.”

Made up to give them a casus belli, soothe their bruised egos, & divert from the hellscape here. What on earth does the rising superpower want with us? Lol

In This Time Between Times - poetry by Anna Chen

Written in 2011 under austerity in the UK, the poem is a dramatic, dreamlike warning of what's headed our way.

As with the MIC, aggrobiz gains from the Ukraine war: chiefly Monsanto, Cargill & DuPont.
GM crops blocked by the EU were introduced into Ukraine since the 2014 coup. If it joins the EU it’s lights out for Europe's agriculture. Ukraine is aggrobiz backdoor. www.oaklandinstitute.org/sites/defaul...

Interview with Thomas Karat at Salt Cube Analytics.
I had an enjoyable chat on a range of issues not usually discussed in the mainstream or social media: politics & culture intertwined.

A few years ago I wrote that we were trapped in a science fiction writer's coma dream.
And here's proof.

The carpetbagging tendency on the Nationwide board won the last vote. So now we find out what that means.
Thanks for the repost.

Will accidental leader Jeremy Corbyn fire up Your Party?
Corbyn was always the accidental leader, transformed by the 2001 anti-Iraq War campaign into the left’s figurehead.
Can he avoid his previous missteps?

Will accidental leader Jeremy Corbyn fire up Your Party?

The 2001 anti-Iraq War campaign had transformed Corbyn into the Left’s figurehead and pole of attraction. Following some self-sabotaging missteps, can he now get it right with the new party?

High anxiety from Hollywood’s first Chinese superstar to China

Anna May Wong Must Die! but the dynamic lives on on in the western response to the rise of China. Yellow Peril tropes return as China overtakes a declining US, sending the superpower into a frenzy.

They said they were overthrowing elected president Yanukovitch, eff the EU, in another US greed-fuelled war.The world is sick of it.
Iraq, Libya, etc, Iran & China next. You're about to invade Venezuela. Just take your MIC & sling off.

You still haven't addressed actual points.
There's the chance to end the war and save lives on both sides but you'd rather snarl.
