SemiAnalysis: America Is Missing the New Labor Economy

This occurred to me. April 2001, US Navy plane crashes into Chinese J8 jet, kills pilot, lands on Hainan Island without authorization. Maybe Bush was looking for a way to boost war profiteer budget. Got the chance when 5 Saudi Arabians who didn't want US bases in their country flew into the Pentagon. US gets embroiled in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Starts up again, US going to the other side of the Pacific and being aggressive. 2014 Victoria Nuland's Euromaidan happens, and problems in the Ukraine in 2014. Then more problems in 2022.

Calms down again, then the US starts arming Israel's Gaza genocide in 2023 more heavily. US soldiers killed off the coast of Yemen, which is doing a humanitarian intervention to help the Gazans.

The US world imperial stretching keeps having eruptions in tge colonized client states. Meanwhile the Standing Committe of the Politburo of the Communist Party of China keeps growing their country more and more.

The US has certainly wasted much of their wealth since the end of ww2 trying to keep their imperialism 2.0 going.

Isn't this what Trump is trying to rectify now?

Trump is discussing annexation of my country. Maybe you're thinking of Imperialism 1.0?

I was thinking of talk of pulling out of NATO.

What I talked about was not NATO actions though.

An interesting interpretation of events. Let's continue.

"Then the air crew donates their airframe & technology to the Chinese Communist Party. And when they return they come up with a lie that they had been buzzed several times by the J8 pilot until the crash. Also they faked distress calls recording it. All to prove that the United States is a paper tiger intent on disrupting the Chinese people's rightful claim to all East Asian territory."

Maybe you don't remember that only 2 years earlier the US CIA "mistakenly" bombed the Chinese embassy in Belgrade, killing three Chinese government workers and nearly sparking war, with Bill Clinton personally calling to apologize.

It really is interesting to see this point of view. Are apologies admissions of guilt in your family/hometown? Do you think it was in the United States' interest to destroy the embassy of a non-belligerent in that war?

I really do wonder how people develop a worldview as warped as yours.

The account was created 3 months ago. Might be actual person. But also might be troll or bot.

I do know real people that hold views like this, but they also apply similar lens to other large countries with global footprint. So at least a consistent approach.

I agree. With how much time we collectively spend online, money spent on online propaganda would be extremely high value for money for belligerent governments.

Firing rockets indiscriminately at ships is not even in the same planet as humanitarian intervention.

Also, the Houthis are a paramilitary party, not the Yemeni state.
