This is America during the 1930s. 👇The Great Depression.

How did the US get out of this misery? Answer: WW2

The Europeans killed each other and destroyed their own rich and powerful countries.

Those who forget history are doomed to repeat it.

#EU #Russia #Ukraine ImageImageImageImage
The US played the arms dealer during WW2. Unaffected by the war, American cities turned on the factories full throttle.

By late 1943, the US was manufacturing more weapons than all its allies and enemies combined! ImageImageImageImage
The US cleverly waited for Russia to destroy half of Hitler’s army. Then American troops landed in Europe to fight the Nazis.

The D-day on June 4, 1944, turned into a mythology by Hollywood.

Normandy, France. ImageImageImageImage
A month later — and 1 year before WW2 ended — the US gathered all allies in Bretton Woods, N.H. 👇🏽

And there, the agreement was made:

The US dollar will be the global currency after the war.

The European empires will be dismantled and will be replaced by the American Empire! Image
Another bonus for the US: Some of the greatest scientists from Europe escaped Europe and came to America.

And they built the atomic bomb!👇🏽

Scientists of Manhattan Project:👇🏽

After the war, Europe was in ruins. The world’s wealthiest cities—including Berlin, Prague, Dresden, and Tokyo—were reduced to rubble.

20 million Europeans had died.

And another 25 million Russians had died fighting the Nazis.

Colonial Europe had a new master of its own: USA ImageImageImageImage
Interestingly, two years into WW2, US elites saw the end game.

Thus, in 1941, they had Time magazine publish an article: “The American Century.”

The author was Henry Luce, the owner of magazines like Time, Fortune and Life. He was also born in China as a son of missionaries. ImageImageImage
Now, 80 years after that famous article, America is ready to renew the American Century. For that to happen, ideally:
- China and Russia must be defeated
- Europe must be economically crushed (yes, a little sacrifice is needed from friends), and
- Ukraine must be sacrificed
Go back to 1938, you wouldn't find any European who saw WW2 coming.

Everyone thinks they are going to win.

Now, Ukraine is foolishly thinking it could win against Russia.

And Europeans naively thought they could defeat Russia with sanctions.
People are so brainwashed with hatred that no leaders in Germany, Ukraine or most of EU can propose peace negotiation with Russia now.

The US will keep sending more and more powerful weapons to Ukraine, until Russia retaliates with something like a mini-nuclear weapon.
To pull Europe into the war, all that has to happen is an attack on a NATO country. The ideal candidate will be a virulently anti-Russian country like Poland or Sweden.

With enough provocation, anyone could start a war. Or there is always the option of a false flag attack!
We will see when and if Europeans will wake up and realize what's happening to them.

Europe is the proverbial frog that is being slowly boiled now.

Lying Media are recycling their Xinjiang propaganda, now aimed at Tibet, China.

Interestingly, last week, I went to a primary school in Lhasa, which had some boarding students!

Why? Because their parents literally live in remote mountains where there are no schools!

🧵 on my visit.

Here’s a description of the media below:

1. This was the welcome dance!😍
2. The primary school (quite big & fancy)
3. The rooms where the kids sleep
4. Classroom for learning Tibetan language

Me trying calligraphy for the first time and actually drawing the character of “heaven” without knowing it! 😆

The school principal was super nice, sincere, smart, and full of energy. So I took a photo with her at the end.

#Tibet #China

Second pic: A child writing Tibetan language.

The kids have a lot of extracurricular activities in this primary school.

Not sure if this is true for all schools in Lhasa or these are some gifted children.

I bought a 1965 Playboy magazine from an old bookstore.

Here are some fascinating things about the magazine:

🧵 (Redoing to avoid the X bots) Image
First, it wasn’t raunchy by today’s standards!

Shows how far we have gone (in the wrong direction?).

Even the Playboy of the Month photo in the centerfold wouldn’t be considered pornographic today. Image
There were way more photos for fashion and lifestyle than semi-naked women. Perhaps a ratio of 20 to 1. Image

My thread on the futility of Trump’s well-intentioned but misguided economic policies of trade wars and tariffs to revive American manufacturing:
Trump, Biden, Obama, Bush, Clinton, Reagan… it’s an American political tradition to impose tariffs, even though they have never helped create jobs or protect manufacturing! 😆
When the American Civil War ended in 1865, half of all Americans were farmers.

For them, working in factories was a big upgrade in wages and lifestyle.

🧵A new era for India-China relations?

Two ancient Asian civilizations – India & China – account for 34% of world’s population & 50% of world’s economic growth.

They also have a 2000-year-old shared history.

Let’s explore the past and the future. Modi and Xi in Mamallapuram in 2019
During his recent interview with Lex Friedman, Indian PM Modi pointed out that India and China had been friends for 2000 years.

He also played down the border tensions by saying that there's no real history of conflicts.

He focused on learning from and understanding one another.
Even 2000 years ago, scholars and monks from China and India were visited one another and shared culture, spirituality and science.

💠The most profound phenomenon was the spread of Buddhism from India to China. Now, half of all the Buddhists in the world are in China.

Yes, communist China has religious freedom, although the malicious US propaganda would say otherwise!

In 2024, US produced 82 million tons of steel… which was the same as it was in 1944!

But in the 1940s, America’s global market share of steel production was whopping 50%.

The deindustrialization cannot be reversed by Tariffs man Trump, who’s like Don Quixote. Image
Now, China is the world’s leader in steel and aluminium production, accounting for more than HALF of the global market share.

In steel:

China 🇨🇳 = 12x USA 🇺🇸

In aluminium:

China 🇨🇳 = 50x USAImage
The world’s top steel-producing nations Image

Two maps that reveal incredible racism in the US.

Look at the electoral maps of 1960 and 1968.

For decades, Deep South was very "blue" -- solid Democrat base due to progressive help for workers.

1960 -- JFK versus Nixon.

Arkansas, Texas, Alabama etc.... all blue states! Shocking, eh?Image
Then, in 1964, US passed the "Civil Rights Act," which gave blacks the right to vote.

And racist whites in the South could not handle it.

So, they gave up on economic interests & switched to far-right George Wallace, who famously said:

Segregation now, Segregation forever!Image
Since then, Republicans have always relied on the racist votes, although they were more subtle than today.

Here's Reagan campaigning in Mississippi, in the county where KKK members murdered black civil rights workers in 1964.

Reagan used "States' Rights" as a dog whistle.

The message was: "if you want to be racist and discriminate against non-whites in your state, the federal government will not interfere!"Image
