  • making or buying nuclear reactors

    The country that export most of nuclear build capacity, is by far Russia, with over 20 reactors in construction abroad. So while EU countries does have know-how to build them too, i bet it’s nowhere near the required scale (also China builds like 30 reactors, but in China)
















  • It’s obvious bullshit:

    have been characterized by some as a base for the People’s Liberation Army Navy

    “by some” who? .Citation needed, while there are 4 citations for Cambodia govt saying it’s under Cambodian control. I would expect something like posession and usage of naval base would be easy to prove, especially in the age of satellites and cellphones, but alas.

    The Chinese and Tajik governments deny the existence of one base, while the other was under construction as of 2024. China funds but does not directly own the bases. According to reports they are intended to support joint operations in response to the security situation in Afghanistan.[17][18][19]

    If we say that “joint operations” are the same as direct ownership then by the same logic applied to USA would skyrocket their number of bases to something like every single military base in every NATO country.



  • This graph would be even more damning if it included the fact that socialist countries economies were mostly real and material ones, based on production of goods, while the capitalist ones are propped up by stonks gambling and layers upon layers of financial instruments. If we deducted this kind of virtual economy the graph would most likely still be way below the 1991 line.
