A good benchmark would be how long the west remains mad at Russia for invading Ukraine.


This time or last time?

(For those confused: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2014_Russian_annexation_of_Cri...)


Who is "the west" in your eyes? I personally know plenty of people in the USA who are openly cheering for Russia in the conflict. So I don't think we could say that "the west" is mad at Russia. Certain people in western countries are, but plenty are quite happy with Russia and wish them well in their endeavors.


Cheering for the "West" means if West wins then please expect 1 million Iraqis (replace Iraq by any other country) dead just because.


People don't discuss how people walk in daily conversation, so it's a word primarily encountered in literature, and more common in specific types of literature (like romance novels to describe how a man paces about with swagger).


It's interesting how this sounds like projection to me as well, from the perspective that China does export their ideology. Your post itself seems to be a form of that, whether you're Chinese or not.


Seems about as important as knowing FRG = West Germany, and GDR/DDR = East Germany in the 20th century.


You believe the US on the path to killing tens of millions of its own citizens for the sake of some ideology like Mao, Stalin, and Hitler because a non-violent white collar criminal was given a shortened sentence? Interesting.


You can kill someone without weapons.

And just like the Great Leap Forward, America is well on its way to letting many thousands die from lack of healthcare.


By that criteria, Obama would be one of the greatest mass murderers in history.


Do you not believe the GOP eliminating SNAP, medicare, and social security will lead to the deaths of millions of Americans?

Do you not believe that Trump, who threatened extrajudicial killings of drug smugglers today [1], isn't going to abuse that power to murder any citizen he doesn't like?

Do you not believe Trump is a fascist, white supremacist, rapist, 34 time convicted felon, rapist, and pedophile?


>Do you not believe the GOP eliminating SNAP, medicare, and social security will lead to the deaths of millions of Americans?

I would suggest not equating libertarian policies with systemic genocide. How about we calm down?

>Do you not believe that Trump, who threatened extrajudicial killings of drug smugglers today [1], isn't going to abuse that power to murder any citizen he doesn't like?

I don't see any evidence of that yet

>Do you not believe Trump is a fascist, white supremacist, rapist, 34 time convicted felon, rapist, and pedophile?

I think he's a 34 time convicted felon, but I haven't confirmed the number.


What is that threshold in China?


If we're going to downvote this comment then we must also downvote its parent.


Will Nvidia continue to exist beyond the current administration? If yes, then would it be prudent to consider the future beyond the current administration?


>Nobody is incentivized to share bad news about the economy.

Isn't the media incentivized to keep you watching or reading? The common criticism of media is they like to exaggerate a minor issue to get you to click on a headline.


except when it affects the economy thus their investment (be it 401k or something else)


They might be short sellers, or they might be foreign and view the US as an economic rival. There may be more incentives than just more clicks for the media.


Yet, for the last few years the media has been poopooing and economy that's by pretty much all measures was very strong.


A more likely explanation is that outside of a few specialized publications, most members of the media are just as financially and economically illiterate as the average person. I mean how many finance and economics courses do you have to pass to get a degree in journalism or communications? There's no deep media conspiracy here.


I would just never vote if that's the case.


Did you forget the Russia collusion thing from 2016?
