Fun fact: Cuba developed 5 vaccines while the US was still doing covid denialism! https://www.npr.org/sections/goatsandsoda/2022/02/01/1056952488/a-small-island-nation-has-cooked-up-not-1-not-2-but-5-covid-vaccines-its-cuba
Liberalism truly is a cancer, something that Cuba also has a vaccine used to treat https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CimaVax-EGF

Out of luck, Lemmy is not your hasbara echo chamber, go back to https://old.reddit.com/r/worldnews/ if you want that.
You mean when China and other countries have been fudging the numbers on their supposed GDP
The closer China gets to America's nominal GDP the more I see this delusion spread around. No, unlike what YouTube clickbait tells you, the IMF, World Bank and United Nations are not all conspiring together to artificially inflate China's GDP https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_GDP_(nominal)#Table
It’s biggest industry’s is house building
Bullshit, it's 52.8% services, 39.9% industry and 7.3% agriculture: https://www.statista.com/statistics/270325/distribution-of-gross-domestic-product-gdp-across-economic-sectors-in-china/
it’s just been building fake cities
Another bullshit talking point: 2018 Forbes - Ghost Towns Or Boomtowns? What New Cities Really Become
Today, China’s so-called ghost cities that were so prevalently showcased in 2013 and 2014 are no longer global intrigues. They have filled up to the point of being functioning, normal cities -- ex-ghost cities are rarely news.
just a dismissal
Sorry, that would be an Appeal to the stone fallacy: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Appeal_to_the_stone
The point of that comment is that Liberals support whatever war the U.S. currently wages while at the same time pretending to be anti-war by condemning the “past wars” (the US still occupies a lot of the places they went to war with) because this time it’ll be different!
I fail to see how arming neo-Nazis and putting in Ukraine will play out any differently than arming religious fundamentalists did in the Middle East, every time I ask this I either get called a Russian troll or genocide apologist.
It means they peddle far-left conspiracy theories like Palestinian children needing water and food to survive which is something that Israeli scientists have debunked
Nobody here is denying what U.S. did in the past
Which is the issue with Liberals really, you come around to willing to condem what the U.S. does after it’s decades in the past and there’s no possible way to revert any of the damage, while it’s contemporary you’ll justify everything in the name of spreading/protecting democracy, fighting terrorism, standing up to autocrats, etc.
Some people still justify bombing Yugoslavia and invading Iraq to this day too so i don’t even know if that first part is really true.
This is such old news
It’s from August 16

oh…
So the CIA interviewed a single anonymous person who probably doesn't even exist. Cool journalism!

Well if by producing you mean raiding their own museums for equipment then yea.
No, I meant Russia literally outproducing the United States and the EU 10 to 1 while also having vastly superior inventories when compared to the dwindling supply America is running through. Libs like to pound their chest and boast that Russia's nominal GDP is lower than places like Germany but they forget that industrial capital is what wins you wars, no matter how many rumors about the Russian army having to gut washing machines for parts you post online it won't change the fact that they are winning a war of attrition against Ukraine and the other 50 or so countries sending them aid.
