Fitch downgrades US credit rating
https://www.bbc.com/news/business-66379366

$31Bn in debt, with interest on the debt slated to overtake annual military spend, and continue to balloon and you still have hacks like Yellen or Summers trying to pretend all is well. These scumbags are the reason why the average American is poorer today with their trash monetary policies. Scumbags eroded our purchasing power, in a fair world they would be flayed and their kids stripped of all their wealth.

Yup, Canada is well on its way as well.

I think the damage they have done is irreparable at this point, no punishment severe enough for the people responsible and the sad thing is they will probably never face any real consequences. If America collapsed tomorrow they would probably all still be set for life and distanced from anything the unwashed masses have to endure.

That is true, I mean you have 1.3 Billion people to feed. The same will happen to India in future when their PPP starts to grow above the United States. They will lay their stake in world affairs with force.
The Chinese, historically speaking always try to control their surroundings whether via diplomacy or by force. Force being the last step that they will take.

What they are doing now, is their own version of the Monroe Doctrine.

So the key is , how are we smaller neighbors, Well as a Singaporean , how are we going to thread around these two elephants and avoid being stepped on and crushed when they start to fight.

China still tries to this day and get their asses handed every single time. All that kung fu doesn't seem to be effective at all. Important notice, on that border, no firing or stabbing weapons are allowed, only fists or blunt weapons.

Look....it is better that they fight with Sticks and stones instead of a situation like Ukraine / Russia ya ?

Chinese Kung Fu is like a dance mate ...lol it is not that effective...but there are some that are quite effective I must say.

I mean honestly I rather such border conflicts happen than them shooting at one another.

Time for a new Japanese PM!

The Shinzo Abe thing was so sketchy, so little coverage of it, I bet most people still don't even know it happened.

The financial stuff completely melts my brain, the concept of buying debt and all of that nonsense is so arcane to me lol

I try to understand it because it is obviously important and impactful but my brain is not wired that way at all, my eyes glaze over when I start reading about it :drool:

Kung Fu isn't a dance. Kung Fu and Karate were deadly martial arts meant to impair or kill the opponent in few strikes when not in possession of a weapon. Of course, you can't have civilians killing each other during peaceful times, therefore modern world got the heavily watered down version. Any skilled weapon user > martial arts. In army, most of the moves are aimed at knocking down the opponent then stabbing or hitting them. It was the same in ancient times. You never want to grapple or to be on the ground. They fight with sticks on that border. Longer arms and being taller => more range.
