WARNING: LONG THREAD 🧵
Dear Americans,
Your political and media class has sold you a very convenient fairy tale for decades - the tale of how your tax dollars pay to defend freeloading Europe.

While it's an emotionally satisfying narrative, it's also wrong.

THE U.S. DOES NOT SUBSIDIZE EUROPEAN DEFENCE.

You are not running a charity, you are running an empire. And empires are costly.

Your forward deployments, your bases, your carrier groups, etc. - they are the pillars of a global security architecture that mainly serves you: to protect your trade routes, your currency, your corporate supply chains, your ability to project force anywhere on the planet in hours and days, not months.

Let’s walk through this like adults, and not emotional toddlers, shall we? 1. Power projection, not philanthropy

Your prosperity rests on your ability to project power -military, financial, informational.

Your ports are not overflowing with cheap goods and energy because the world thinks you’re cute or because U.S. Treasuries are sacred. You sit at the center of the system because you guarantee that system with force: sea lanes, chokepoints, sanctions, no-fly zones when it suits you.

No one forced the U.S. into that role. Washington chose it because the benefits - geopolitical leverage, economic primacy, dollar hegemony - are enormous. Stop pretending it’s some unreciprocated act of kindness toward Europe.

Unfortunately, the Europeans are retarded enough to bury our beloved contient by selling out to China.

China is an absolute cancer to our free way of life. Many Chinese see themselves as superior to Europeans - in race, intellect, culture, everything. And that’s how they’ll treat us (some in positions of power in the private sector - already are).

Also, China has invested decades and billions of yuans in dismantling European industry and unity 👇

🏭 Weaponized Overcapacity

State-backed subsidies fuel artificial surpluses (solar, steel, and now EVs). These are dumped on the EU market at unmatchable prices, driving solvent European firms into bankruptcy. While we operate on the premise of free-market economies, the Chinese state capitalism actively directs capital to strategic industries, creating an uneven playing field.

🧵 THREAD SUPPLY CHAINS > MISSILES: China flipping the global tech & military balance

1/ 🚨 Big escalation. China’s Ministry of Commerce (MOFCOM) is rolling out sweeping export controls on rare earths, processing tech, magnets, recycling, and associated know-how - with military & AI implications baked in. 👇 2/ Starting December 1, any export (or re-export) of technology, equipment, or data relating to rare earth mining, smelting, magnet manufacturing, or recycling must get a Chinese government license. No exceptions.

Forget the world order of yesterday. Zoom out. Think long-term.

Because the real war of the 21st century isn’t about borders per se, it's about civilizations: The West vs China.

Russia? Not a civilization - never was, never will be. Just a piece on the Go board. Its role is to take territory and bleed itself dry, while weakening and dividing the West. The Dragon (🇨🇳) watches the Bear ( 🇷🇺) bleed and will collect the spoils when the time is right. Let’s break this down. To understand the clash, we have to know who’s fighting. 🧵👇 1/ What is Western civilization?

Athenian logic: categories, clarity, contradiction.
Roman law: institutions over men.
Christian values: the soul comes before the state.
The individual is sovereign; truth is arbitrated in court.
Clausewitz doctrine.

The result? A rules-based world order. Not static, not chined to immovable hierarchies, but agile and adaptable.

Do you guys know the meaning of the term "ketman"?
It's a Persian word for the practice of maintaining an outward appearance of Islamic orthodoxy while inwardly dissenting. 2/ In the former Soviet Union, ketman was the strategy everyone who wasn’t a true believer in communism adopted to stay out of trouble from the state authorities. You lived by lies to survive because you thought you had no other choice.
