China has literally no motive for damaging Balticconnector.

If you look at everything through the lens of Palestinians being subhuman, Israeli actions make more sense.

Interesting how many "detained citizens under espionage charges" are working in fields that would line up with espionage. You don't see a software engineer get detained in China for espionage...

The last time you saw your friend, he had a gun pointed to his head. The next time you see your friend, he's dead and has a bullet hole right where the gun was.

What exactly do you think happened?

Being a world leader is expensive. Both the US and USSR have showed that. It's also contrary to Chinese doctrine stretching back centuries.

According to Israel, every Palestinian is subhuman and needs to be eradicated.

In that light, I guess this bombing is a success?

US: curbs semiconductor exports to China

Europe: curbs lithography machine exports to China

China: curbs drone exports to Europe

Europe is entering the "find out" phase of "fuck around and find out." This is what shoving a knife into the back of globalization in the name of national security gets you...

Not that China's semiconductor competence would have affected European security given that China has neither the means nor the desire to project power outside of their immediate vicinity.

Except worse, because Russia at least tries to come up with shoddy intel most of the time. Israel is just outright making shit up

Journalists are all working for Hamas.

Israel literally said that they would bomb the hospital, had bombed the hospital in the past, and bombed other targets near the hospital that night. I'm really not sure how people are still doubting that they did it even in the absence of a smoking gun.

Why did Roosevelt wait so long until launching a Western Front? By the time the US had troops in mainland Europe, the Soviets were tearing the Germans apart and outmaneuvering them on the battlefield.

The US' contributions to the Japanese war machine prior to Pearl Harbour are a big factor when evaluating American influence on WW2. American resources single-handedly sustained the Japanese invasion of China.

Common perception in France right after WW2 was that the Soviets made the single largest contribution against the Germans out of any country. That perspective has been progressively rewritten.
