You’re delusional. The two sides abhor each other’s existence.
Don’t be stupid about it, don’t get greedy. Just give yourself a little discount to offset some of the recent bullshit price inflation and portion shrinkage.
Think of the shareholders! The economy! And the (already fucked) social contract?!
There’s surely appetite building around the world for this. Who will throw the first stone that starts the landslide?
Thieve from big corpos. Don’t feel bad about it. They don’t.
Great whataboutism, tankie scum. No shit the US does some truly fucked up shit. Nobody realistically thinks their government is a paragon of virtue. Just that the Chinese government does fucked up shit as well. Both can be true, bootlicker.
Honestly, discussing Russia’s economy as large in the same breath as the US and China is a bit disingenuous. US GDP is around 27 trillion USD, China around 18 trillion USD. Russia? 2 trillion USD.

Russian forces tried to blitz across the country in 2022 - I remember that failure, but all recent developments in this invasion are minimal. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-60506682 - this is a pretty decent overview I think we could both agree on.
I’m pro-Ukrainian, but “huge swathes” of regained territory is absurdly inflating UA’s achievements. They’re fighting off the imperialist invaders, but only just and only for now.

If someone wants to return fire, go for it, but getting NATO to be the new world police force after decades of the US playing that role and fucking it up should give us pause. NATO is there to be a defensive alliance if attacked militarily, not be a mercenary force for Maersk and BP or whoever is getting their cargo attacked.
Just no.
Agreed. See Scheidel’s The Great Leveler: Violence and the History of Inequality from the Stone Age to the Twenty-First Century.
Nothing will be accomplished without violence.
US centrism. Grow up, this is not a post about dysfunctional US politics.
Nobody in this thread has offered sources one way or another. You appeared to be having difficulty understanding OP’s point, hence my comment. As for your final question, two things:
Fuck your US-centric assumption, I luckily don’t have to care about Trump, I have my own country’s politics to worry about.
Trump clearly lives in your head rent free, that’s not good.
Hence “absurd”.
Single use bags can be sold, and are sold, for wrapping fruit and vegetables, and thin polyethylene carrier bags are atill sold, they just can’t be given away for free.
They can stay where they are
