Blogs百年未有之大变局....I do not suppose he means “one hundred years” exactly, for there is no historical evidence to show that world shattering events have been occurring on a hundred-year cycle. World War I ended in 1918, and World War II began in 1939 – in less than 20 years. China overthrew the Manchus in 1911, and it went through a tumultuous time until the People’s Republic of China was proclaimed in 1949. Great Depression devastated the Americans in the early 1930s. The first Oil Crisis occurred in 1973. I do not see any discernable pattern.

fire-breathing spokesperson for the donald....President Donald Trump’s improbable honeymoon with the media may have coincidentally ended on the same day that White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt gave her first briefing. Not because of anything Leavitt said or did, though she clearly walks out to the James S. Brady Press Briefing Room ready to do battle. “We know for a fact that there have been lies that have been pushed by many legacy media outlets about this president,” she told the assembled reporters, who may soon find themselves wishing for the halcyon days of Sean Spicer, Sarah Huckabee Sanders, and Kayleigh McEnany.

Lies, damned lies and catastrophic risks By Julian Cribb
olaf's good germans.....German Chancellor Olaf Scholz has called US billionaire's Elon Musk backing of a rival party in the country’s upcoming election “disgusting.” The SpaceX and Tesla founder has endorsed the right-wing Alternative for Germany (AfD) ahead of next month’s parliamentary vote.

over and done with, soon....The Ukraine conflict could end in two months of Kiev is deprived of the money and ammunition it depends on to continue fighting, Russian President Vladimir Putin has said. Speaking to reporter Pavel Zarubin on Tuesday, Putin was asked about the possibility of a negotiated end to the Russia-Ukraine conflict. “They can’t exist without their Western sponsors. They won’t last a month if the money and ammunition run out,”Putin told Zarubin. “Everything can be over in a month and a half to two months. Ukraine practically has no sovereignty, in that sense,” the Russian president added.

capitalism needs some improvements.....When dreaming up a name for a bold new research hub, the team at the University of Auckland Business School took on a semantic minefield. “We knew when we called our centre Dialogues on Inclusive Capitalism that the word ‘inclusive’ would upset half the world, and ‘capitalism’ would upset the other half,” says Professor Susan Watson, dean of the Business School and interim head of the centre. Can we do capitalism better? This new research hub is up for the challenge
how the chinese beat trump and OpenAI......![]() The hype around Artificial Intelligence, the now failed U.S. attempt to monopolize it, and the recent counter from China are a lesson in how to innovate. They also show that the U.S. is losing the capability to do so. In mid 2023, when the Artificial Intelligence hype gained headlines, I [MOON OF ALABAMA] wrote: 'Artificial Intelligence' Is (Mostly) Glorified Pattern Recognition
the bad will of europe is inspired by the american empire........The European Idea is anchored by the desire to banish war from the continent forever and foster collective development by creating a quasi-federated Europe. This idea is embodied in the step-by-step creation of the European Union (EU). That idea today looks exceptionally compromised, not least due to growing European divergence about how the EU’s best interests can be secured. Moreover, despite its fundamentally destabilising impact, American power ruthlessly shaping this outcome is compliantly welcomed by European elites. Any “Euro-tiger” image once projected by the EU in its prime has now vanished. How Europe is degrading in Europe By Richard Cullen
