Mostly stemming from the time period where China was completely revisionist in the 90s/Early 2000s and siding with the US on sanctions and UN resolutions and the like. China also doesn’t like that DPRK has nuclear weapons and has joined its voice with America calling for denuclearization, insisting that it could protect its “little brother” with its nuclear umbrella. This patronizing and unprincipled attitude did not sit well with the DPRK.

‘But we had it first! The Nazis were actually copying us, they were jealous of how cool our aircraft looked while fighting on their side against the Soviets’ isn’t the winning argument they think it is.

They won’t invade, just do airstrikes and domestic color revolution shit like they do in Lebanon.

The UK “going it’s own way” will always result in it becoming dependent on America again, see the EU’s efforts for the past 3 decades. China isn’t imperialist, it wouldn’t be “replacing one imperialist system for another” it would be replacing one imperialist system for a non-imperialist one

Jeez work these days, did this really have to be a meeting? Couldn’t they have sent an email?

Make everyone pledge allegiance to it too while you are at it.

Well they built them at some point originally, because they had to compete with the USSR on an economic level and had Marshall Plan investments, which meant high levels of cheap energy were required.

Now that’s no longer needed and Europe has been harvested by capital. Deindustrialized, copper stripped from the walls, financialized, etc.

I think everyone here can agree that the fossil fuel right is an evil demonic force, but many here may hold more charitable positions on the anti-nuclear crunchy hippy left. They have done their part here

Has there been some recent escalation beyond the ship movements?

Why were no new nuclear plants being built or commissioned in all those decades? The alliance of the anti-nuclear left and the fossile fuel right. The radlib Greens were the one to do the final blow so you can’t deny their involvement, traitorous NATOite idealists jumped off the cliff to their own end because they trusted in fossil fuels

In reality, he would need to pivot the economy away from America and to China, which is difficult due to geography (although arctic trade routes will alleviate this over time). The United imperialist bourgeoisie of UK are very strong and in firm control, they would need to be replaced by a non-imperialist National Bourgeoisie in some kind of bourgeois revolution first I think.

Remember, UK is even more backwards than the US in some ways. Their aristocratic revanchism was never defeated and set in deep, they still have a monarchy.

Closing down all their nuclear power generation to appease the Green party radlibs, only to pivot to Russian natural gas and have that blow up in their face. The Germans are really taking L after L after L

Well also the fact they no longer have access to unlimited cheap russian energy so their entire country has been de-industrializing for the last 3 years. They really cut off their nose to spite their face.

what you are describing is the songbun system in Korea, where the Japanese/American collaborators and counter-revolutionaries form a “lower class” because they are punished and kept outside of government positions and important roles. They have to earn their way out of it by displaying loyalty and self-criticism.

I would have just turned the PSI way up on my regulator and used some frozen paintballs when playing them

1.7 million Ukrainian soldiers dead for NATO ambitions that will never come true. Why has the anti-human leadership of Ukraine destroyed their own nation for Western powers?

you’re on a communist website bruh

He’s a public figure and journalist, he’s not exactly a spy. I don’t see the point of them bringing up this unrelated discussion to attack Medhurst and derail the conversation about the terror laws and destruction of free speech in the UK. Priorities? Message discipline? Never heard of them apparently.

ok? I’m not familiar with what any of that is

It’s a conscious decision to have a large meeting there instead of in a normal meeting room with a large table.

He wanted a one-sided affair where it was obvious they were all supplicating to him

Richard Medhurst has been consistently hounded and abused by these “anti-terror” laws, merely for reporting on the Axis of Resistance actions and Israel’s genocide. His property has been confiscated, his means of work repeatedly destroyed or taken, dragged through months of spurious legal proceedings, gag ordered, etc.
