Not dead yet: The future of China’s belt and road
China’s Belt and Road Initiative is as controversial now as it was a decade ago. Yet its legacy endures. Even as Beijing cuts funding to debt-saddled BRI states, the West is emulating Xi Jinping’s flagship development plan. The BRI is not dead but is quietly mutating into something much bigger and…

Trump is requesting the return of the evidence of his crimes. The missing call logs...the signing sheets and correspondence with the NARA...
They requested the return of personal and "Presidential Records". Presidential Records are government-owned records by statute. WTF?

this is how trump has done things all his life. he has the money to draw out any lawsuit past the point where the other party can't afford it anymore. deny, delay, etc. look over here, look over there.
at some point the RNC is gonna run somebody else. they know trump can't win again. and that is when the fireworks are gonna get awesome!!!!

Shifting focus, central Asia is important now, it means gas and oil pipelines and access to European and central Asian markets, Kazakhstan for instance is moving closer and has security assurances from Xi, they also have oil and gas that needs markets, so do other the stans along the way and all of them are more worried about Russia than China, where there is economic opportunity. Cash is also short with recent financial fiascos and their overreaction to covid hurting their economy. The plan is being modified and harbors and other infrastructure in distant places with no immediate benefit are being shelved. I think the silk road to Europe and taking advantage of a weakening and chaotic Russia in eastern Asia is on their agenda, they drool over the time zones of virgin forest and minerals, just to the north. The fuckers could build a new railway through Mongolia in a month to get to something they wanted, if they haven't built one there already.so, just a little bit pregnant?

I'm kind of expecting the same thing. Mitch the turtle isn't going to give trump one fucking penny if he can avoid it. I'm pretty sure he'll back desantis, or whatever fascist fucknut they decide to run instead of trump, and try to make sure his candidate gets the parties endorsement, perhaps going so far as to make it clear to all "his" senators that any support for trumps means no support for them.

Luckily there was a stream off to the side so I just hung out on a rock and stuck my hand in for an hour while the brakes cooled off and filled a little bucket to keep in my lap to dunk them on the drive home...the 70/i25 extravaganzas aren't exactly chill driving so I was soaked by the time I got back.

i'd love to think that he'll be indicted soon after the nov elections.
here's some things i'm not on board with:
1. the govt didn't know these highest top secret docs were missing within 1 week of his departure from the WH. these things are highly regulated and accounted for
2. i think they have evidence of him ( or more realistically somebody in his camp) giving some of this info to saudis, russians, probably not the "best" of his trove but just something to pay the bills

He won't outrun this one, they've got him by the balls for something anybody else would be immediately arrested for and be questioned in a basement under hot lights while remanded in custody without bail. Sentencing guidelines for this shit and obstruction of justice will finish him, they are very harsh. His behavior, crimes and large armed terrorist following plus the hundreds if not thousands of death threats witnesses, jurors and the judge receive will rate a maximum-security facility. The GOP will replace Trump but are in no hurry until he is safely locked away and muzzled. Though Kevin McCarthy might go to the big house on visiting day for regular pilgrimages to the orange oracle.

I think Joe should set the CIA on the task of procuring MBS's head, literally, he has many enemies in Saudi Arabia, is a psycho and loose cannon. Their usual solution over there is to chop the fucker's head off and help to do it should be arranged and a new more enlightened king elevated, forget "nation building". This is cold war 2 shit, only it not communism this time, it's autocracy, fascism, imperialism, strongmen and assholes in general!

Sometimes all you have to do is indicate you will look the other way and don't even need to facilitate. I'm talking more about people living there who have a plan or movement or conspiracy already, sometimes just a cash infusion is required. I'm not talking about a drone strike or a CIA sniper or even paying one to do in the target, such things are against the law!
In America, but not in other places...

Cold war 2 and Uncle Sam drone strikes American citizens abroad who are terrorists. Sammy wouldn't do the chopping, that's a Saudi tradition and we wouldn't want to interfere with their culture or religion!
Shit Iran might even stop selling drones to Russia and have a female president over it without that crazy bastard staring down their crazy bastard!

War is Hell but helping the Ukrainians snuff Vlad could save everybody from being nuked for instance. As I said, America drone strikes its own citizens abroad. Assassinating forgien leaders is illegal in America, but what about the Chechen leader, the guy who boils people alive in oil, Chechnya is part of Russia and if he were to show up in Ukraine? Most of the time when these assholes lose power they are done in, so overthrowing them is in effect killing them. For instance, it is becoming clear that Vlad has got to go, both inside and outside Russia, among his "friends" and among his many enemies, when he does, he will probably be done in pretty quickly if he doesn't find an open window. Tyrants ride the tiger, and they dare not fall off for the beast will consume them if they do. Donald tried to ride the tiger but couldn't stay on, he will die in a cage and be removed in a bag.
