Like once a year we get an article about how the us military is too reliant on Chinese parts in their supply chain lol

Isn't the USA supplying cluster bombs to Ukraine?

[–] Zeroxxx@lemmy.my.id 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah but it is not suitable for rage inducing title, so they choose China instead.

The double standards and american exceptionalism of the people that post CNN/WaPo/NYT news articles on foreign events...

Why did you expect China to follow Western sanctions?

[–] Blursty@lemmygrad.ml 6 points 1 year ago (21 children)

"China is helping Russia evade Western sanctions"

Uh, even if this is true, so what? China isn't beholden to the west? The notions of supremacy are unreal with American media.

And in other news millions of US arms to Ukraine keep ending up in Africa. But let's talk about China helping Russia even though we already new this was going to happen from the start.

Was this not a given? I remember something about weird Chinese military Supply train routes in the early months of the war

[–] BrikoX@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Sure was, but now there is US document publically stating that. The weight someone wants to give it is up to them.

Yeah I have to stay off of here. Maoist lemmygrad tankies give me diarrhea.

[–] OurToothbrush@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I know the implication here is that "maoist lemmygrad tankies" are so gross they give you diarrhea but it really comes off as "I get stress diarrhia reading left wing content online" which isn't very flattering.

That's not my hill to die on, but what exactly about authoritarian ethno states scratching each other's back makes it "left wing"?

Except I am anarcho-syndicalist and aggressively socially left-wing. But I will never understand anyone that holds China or Russia in anything approaching high regard.
Edit: And, no. My comment didn't come across as that. You obviously just wanted to read it as such.
