Shocking! This is an actual freight train moving over a twisted, "bendy" railway track linking Ohio and Indiana in the USA!!

It's like a 4th world country.

America should fix its sh*thole infrastructure rather than waging endless wars.

#Russia #Ukraine #China
Apparently, derailments are very common in the US. On the average, 1700 trains go off the tracks every year!

We only hear about it when really toxic/hazardous materials spill and cause a huge damage.

This is stupidity beyond belief.

Compare this to the awesome railway infrastructure that links China and Europe — built by the Chinese government, of course.

Every month, 1000+ freight trains carry goods from China to dozens of European cities — from Hamburg to London and Madrid.

#BRI #BeltandRoad #Ohio
Not just infrastructure, but entire cities are crumbling all over the USA.
Maybe the US should get the railway track technology from China?

What democracy? Vast majority of Europeans say that their country should NOT get militarily involved in the Ukraine-Russia war.

But their own politicians, EU and NATO are doing the exact opposite.

#IPSOS #poll
Link to IPSOS poll on the Ukraine war. Survey done across 28 countries from around the world

Remember that this is after enormous propaganda and censorship.

If Europeans know the truth about NATO expansion, provocations over decades, coups, Nazis in Ukraine, biowarfare labs etc., the poll result would be even more stunning.

The Rulers of USA are obsessed with the theory of a 19th century geopolitical expert - Halford Mackinder.

His theory was:

🔹If you want to rule the world, you must rule Eurasia (“World Island”)

🔹If you want to rule Eurasia, you must rule Russia (“Heartland”)
🔹If you want to rule the Heartland, you must rule East Europe.

Thus, all the tactics like NATO expansion, proxy war and hybrid wars on Russia etc. are all driven by this geopolitical theory.
Of course, 120 years ago, there were no nuclear weapons and no concept as “mutually assured destruction.”

US media gleefully talks about “ghost cities” in China, while skipping over the incredibly shrinking cities all over America.

Like Detroit 👇🏽, whose population has shrunk by 65% since the 1960s!
Except for the coastal cities, much of interior USA presents a bleak portrait.

Small towns with no industries or real economy.

No hope, no change.
Middle America is stuck in the 1950s, when America was “great.”

In 1990, negotiators from US, Germany etc. assured Gorbachev that NATO would not expand “one inch east forward” after the collapse of the USSR.

Naively, the Russian side believed it.
By 1996, Bill Clinton was openly talking about NATO expansion.

At that time, many prominent US strategists opposed this idea and correctly predicted that this would lead to another Cold War.

“Experts” predicted that Russia’s oil production would be cut by half after the Ukraine war. Well, here is the reality:

🔹Russian oil companies drilled record number of wells/rigs last year!

🔹Russia’s oil production is back to 11 million barrels a day (same as pre-war)
New Russian oil rigs
Another delusional talking point was that without Western companies, Russia’s oil industry would collapse.

Shell, BP, Exxon etc. got out of Russia.

But Russian know-how and technology are now advanced. Life goes on without the West.

America lives in its own bubble & thus underestimates Russia and China, which are actually very popular in developing nations -- with 62% positive views.

Law of diminishing returns. After a while, the insane propaganda of Western MSM has no effect.

Cambridge University study
And you know, there are way more people in developing than developed nations!

Population pie chart by continents: Asia, Africa, Europe, North and South America.

Asia alone is 60% of the world.
