we will have a long memory

Could there be a single more empty threat from a burger-munching American? The whole world will laugh at you for thousands of years until you recede into myths about a people so callous and stupid it beggars belief.

Somebody stop them! They've already got an international high speed rail network! It can't be done! Too much rail!

God willing! I just don't know if it can happen with the neoliberal system straining due to third world development.

You mean when a Canadian company recommended that Sri Lanka should sell hambatotan as part of debt renegotiations, that was more significant than the IMF impoverishing the entire country? Did you think they took the port back to China? While China is responsible for 10% of the debt and 63% of the debt forgiveness in the country?

Do you do anything other than repeat Wall Street news? Vulture funds made huge risky investments to Sri Lanka they knew could not be repaid and used the international law system - the US run mafia - to threaten them into paying off debts that should have been forgiven.

Taking more control over assets in countries being stripped by the Western vulture capitalists is a good thing. That's why China has lots of under the table agreements to recoup losses on or take control of assets if the IMF does this shit or if there's a regime change now. Risk is a real thing, debts are not sacred, I understand that's out of your depth as your understanding of finance is limited to what your masters tell you.

The alternative is simply threatening people to pay up, the Wall Street way.

Oh yeah I was bringing it up again since some nerds are hovering over everything I post and I consider that an opportunity for remedial lessons.

A chatroom I have made many times is "Old News" and I think it might be a nice community addition. I wouldn't moderate it though, too many arguments!

"Oh no what if the Russians don't build it!"

Yeah extremely valid and not hysterical concern there man.

You're going to have to deal with the Russians building more nuclear infrastructure than you get in your neoliberal shithole, in peripheral countries alone, because ROSATOM is just getting bigger.

Chatham House is literally the go-to place for ways to cope with Russia constantly getting stronger instead of collapsing.

Listen "friend", your reality is based purely on sources from the Western financial class. So much so that you're not even aware of the neocolonialist financial pressure they placed on Sri Lanka to begin with. It's just China China China, because you only look at what you're told to look at. Because you're a well-trained little pig dog, aren't you? Who's a good boy??

Yeah I totally agree, I just find these reformist alt-media types to be useful because we can harness their ridiculous energy for law and finance and other difficult to navigate semi-bullshit fields

I will post a lot of stuff even from corny Liz Warren supporter-level breakdowns of corruption just because they are so obsessed. Even if they ultimately have no plan to deal with it.
