When it's adjusted to GDP PPP Russia is the 6th largest economy. As for Communism it seems to be doing ok in China. China has caught up with the big capitalist nations after 75 years of CCP rule, in the next 75 they will accelerate away. Aye if you ignore the horrific human rights records, the genocide, imposing non democratic rule on the people of hong kong, lack of free speech and locking up political opposition then China’s doing just swell. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There isn't a genocide. Even the daft Uighur CIA World Congress in London a few months ago only managed to claim there was a genocide by counting a falling birth rate as lives lost. The media here gave that a wide swerve for obvious reasons. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Uighur population has doubled since the PRC came into existence. There is no credible evidence of a genocide. There is plenty of CIA funded claims of one. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Detournement Posted February 21, 2022 Share Posted February 21, 2022 The CIA have been claiming this genocide has been going longer than WW2 now. Despite this there is no video footage of repression like you get from Palestine continually and we see from USA, Bahrain, Chile etc. There is no wave of refugees crossing the border as there was in Afghanistan, Syria, Iraq. There is no claim that there are less Uighurs now than when it started. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fife Saint Posted February 21, 2022 Share Posted February 21, 2022 Putin's Council meeting was televised (although debate about when it took place) and his ministers all agreed they should recognise the DPR and LPR. Left at a 'Decision will be made today'. Zelensky requested an urgent meeting of UN Security Council. All sorts of fucked. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LongTimeLurker Posted February 21, 2022 Share Posted February 21, 2022 An important thing to remember in all of this is that the Russian Army has been in the DNR and LNR since 2014 even though they officially pretend otherwise. Ukraine would have won outright if they had not intervened at that point. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 21, 2022 Share Posted February 21, 2022 Does anyone know where I can pick up the latest edition of "The Russian Playbook", it's all I've heard Liz, Ben and Boris talk about for the past week and then Anthony and Joe keep mentioning it also. Yes, we've all been to those HR seminars where a new corporate word appears and within a day or two everyone at Senior Management level starts using it before being passed down the line to the Drones. I mean come on guys, it's not like we're throwing the baby out with the bath water....... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No meaning of the word "axis" makes sense of that title. Clearly trying to invoke spitfires and blitz spirit with the WWII lingo. Unfortunately it's Mussolini's lingo and now more associated with Dubya and Blairs made up "intelligence" to bring Iraq into the frame for 9/11. I think the MOD is trying to sneak out a coded warning that this is false intelligence by fascists. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
