Bob Marley & the Wailers – Real Situation
Wanted to post this for some time. @brainwavelost@nerdpol.ch's quest for #reality got me doing it at last. Now that I'm posting this I'm realising that I still have #hope that someone can stop this war in #Ukraine before it becomes a #worldwar.
Also @ghyslain who liked the former version of this post before I deleted it.

well, if these two are managed opposition shills buying trust, they're succesfully making a fairly large purchase here with me and those #healthy #rants.

Gail Tverberg is a good read. I think in the end she will be right.
Picking times is always impossible as governments and central banks will pull every trick they can think of to extend and pretend but I do feel the bag of tricks are running empty.
Living in new zealand one thing I can think of is Antarctica. I suspect there is a lot of oil and gas there and what ever people think about global warming when economies start to collapse because of energy shortages they will go looking.
When you have plenty you want quality when you have little you want quantity.
All the ideologically pure will be out the door when politicians are threatened with eviction.
South Koreans are going to become "younger" as their traditional #age system is scrapped. There's something sad about a #tradition being abolished in the name of global #standardisation. I remember a Korean student explaining to me that he was 30 in Korean years, when the records said he was 29. In South Korea, you are traditionally 1 when you are born.

The people verses the banks, now that is a war I'm prepared to fight for.
I have this feeling no one really knows how economies work and they just pick from the tree of hope the catch phrases they pray will keep them in power.
In the book replenishing the esrth James belich made the comment that economic booms needs a resource. This sound pretty common sense and so it is. Think of the great cod fisheries or the endless forests of the new world and outside that a resource could be cheap or skilled labour or even the time saved by just in time manufacturing but and there is always a but.
What happens when the resource runs out or competition catches up? the the boom ends. This is the reality of the west.. They have utilised the resources they had and when they could no longer extract compound growth they moved somewhere else. The booms that provided the initial wealth have faded all they have left is debt leverage and then nothing. But they still live in hope that a boom bringing dreams to reality is just around the corner. And all the time the debt grows.
There are people who advocate a steady state economy and this may be what we are approaching but with no way to pay the debt so just a steady decline in wealth.
Vom Ende der Meinungsfreiheit in Europa / On the End of Freedom of Expression in Europe
Mit dem Digital Services Act und dem „Verhaltenskodex zur Bekämpfung von Desinformation“ schafft die EU eine ausgeklügelte Infrastruktur zur umfassenden Zensur von Informationen und Meinungen – ausgelagert an private Konzerne. Was Gastautor Johannes Mosmann durch Analyse dieser Dokumente kühl und sachlich an totalitärer Kontrollambition der Regierenden herausarbeitet, erinnert an dunkle, vordemokratische Zeiten.
With the Digital Services Act and the “Code of Practice on Disinformation”, the EU is creating a sophisticated infrastructure for the comprehensive censorship of information and opinions – outsourced to private corporations. The totalitarian control ambitions behind these plans that guest author Johannes Mosmann brings out in the analysis of these documents is reminiscent of dark, pre-democratic times.

Radoslaw Sikorski on #Europe’s role amid American and Chinese tensions
As America focuses on China, Europe must protect its interests and America needs to accept its balancing act, says a European Parliamentarian
AS A YOUNG journalist in September 1986 reporting from Tora Bora on the delivery of Stinger missiles to the battlefield, I could foresee the defeat of the Soviet Union and its withdrawal from Afghanistan—but I could not fathom that America would get mired there for twice as long and that its withdrawal would be more humiliating. The chaotic departure of American troops from Afghanistan raises new questions about American influence in the world.
But step back from the news, and a bigger worry is present: how to handle the rise of China? Under both Presidents Donald Trump and Joe Biden, almost the only thing that Democrats and Republicans agree on is the need to prevent China from replacing America at the pinnacle of power. Can they do it—without war? And what should be the position of Europe amid these tense times?
We should begin by admitting that the modern international system has been shaped by Western wishful thinking and hubris. At the time of the Soviet Union’s collapse, America and Europe made a series of assumptions and bets—most of which we lost. We bet that if we help Russia integrate with the West, it would become an ally. We bet that the Arab Spring would do for the Muslim world what 1989-91 did for Eastern Europe. And we bet that if we prematurely granted China the status of a free-market economy and admitted it into the World Trade Organisation, it would eventually liberalise its economy and perhaps its political system too.
America also made one grand miscalculation, spending political capital and trillions of dollars to counter a threat—Islamic fundamentalist terrorism—which in strategic terms was a mere nuisance. Jihadists could kill a lot of innocent people and threaten America’s sense of invulnerability, but they could never hope to dominate the world.
However China has made a strategic error too. The country has put an end to the doctrine of its former leader Deng Xiaoping, to “Hide your strength, play for time” and have replaced it with the ideas of its current leader, Xi Jinping, and his method of threatening, haranguing, wolf-warrior diplomacy. By changing its tone, China has focused American minds, persuaded other countries to seek American protection, thus creating a balancing coalition in Asia.
If China and America were to fall into the “Thucydides trap”—a seemingly inevitable conflict between a rising power and a declining one—the flashpoint of course would be Taiwan. Both countries’ forces war-game the conflict and it looks like an armed confrontation is a real possibility. China’s traditional tactics, derived from the board game Go rather than chess, is to gain so many small advantages as to convince a potential adversary to give up without a fight. China’s credibility depends on regaining Taiwan, America’s on preventing it.
The Thucydides moment arrives precisely at the point when the status-quo power feels that its superiority might imminently be lost. Briefings we have received in the European Parliament suggest that China has already achieved regional military parity with America around Taiwan and that over the next five years it will become even more capable in the area. The trap springs when there is no higher authority to which both powers defer and neither country concedes.
What should Europe do? President Biden’s trip to NATO in June was all about stabilising the eastern flank of the alliance and wooing European allies to the challenges ahead. In fact, leaving Afghanistan was part of America’s reorientation towards new threats. If America is to devote all its attention to China, then Russia should be persuaded to stay on the sidelines and Europe, starting with Germany, brought on board. Perhaps that was America’s logic in lifting sanctions on the Nord Stream 2 pipeline, which is being built to carry natural gas from Russia to Germany. It ties Russia economically to Europe and removes an irritant in America’s relations with Germany. Yet removing sanctions is detrimental to the interest of Ukraine and central Europe.
Europe cannot maintain its standard of living without trading with China, its largest economic partner. Our nightmare would be if America forced us to choose, as the Trump administration did over Iran: trade with us, or trade with our enemy—and cut off European companies choosing the latter from the dollar-clearing mechanism in New York. The choice between America and Iran was easy. A choice between trading with America or trading with China would be terrible.
Europe’s military interests are different from America’s as well. The NATO treaty covers the mostly North Atlantic region and its mutual guarantees do not apply in Asia. Nor do we have any interests to protect so far from our shores. I predict that the European Union and its member states will want to collaborate with America on China on almost everything, except in the military sphere. The EU will maintain its arms embargo, it will co-ordinate investment, standard-setting and trade policies through the recently formed Trade and Technology Council, but European voters will not allow the region to get into anything “kinetic” (as military types call live conflict).
Continental Europe will gracefully yield that honour to the British, who happen to actually have some naval hardware to deploy. The trick for the EU will be to remain a good ally of America without getting into a war with China. Wise leadership in America will understand Europe’s predicament and not try to force its leaders to do the impossible.
In the next few years, Europe should also prepare for the possibility that rivalry with China preoccupies America, weakening its traditional security guarantees. Politics aside, America has abandoned its ambition of having a military capable of fighting two wars at the same time. The mess in Afghanistan marked an ignoble departure but America still has the world’s biggest armed forces—though it may be reluctant to use them other than to protect its vital national interests. Hence, Europe needs to build up the capacity to deter Russia on its own. My greatest fear is that it will take another terrible disaster before European leaders get serious about defence.
The Biden administration seems to understand that the EU’s strategic autonomy—that is, the ability to act militarily independent of America—far from being a threat, could free up American resources for its primary challenge. Europe is a regulatory superpower and can be a pillar in the alliance of democracies. Assuming that there is not a return to the nationalism of the past four years after the next American presidential elections, we will be a good ally on most issues.
Personally, having been brought up in Communist Poland during the cold war I am not keen for another one. Our relationship with China is much more complex than the West’s rivalry with the Soviet Union ever was. That is why I have advocated that Europe should adopt a “three Cs” approach: co-operate where possible, compete where needed and confront where necessary. It’s not inevitable that we will fall into the Thucydides trap but it will take a lot of statesmanship to prevent it.

Why US military expenses are so high compared to global rivals
... and the relationship that has with offshoring, outsourcing, globalised processing, and other aspects of trade, shipping, production, and commerce.
You've likely seen examples of goods which are produced in one location, processed in another, and sold in a third, often spanning the globe. Fish shipped from the US to China and back, salt sourced in Pakistan, packed in South Africa, and sold in Canada, and other examples come to mind.
Much of what drives this is 1) the high cost of US and European wages and 2) the low cost of shipping.
This is related to what drives up the cost of US military operations, though that's largely driven by constraints on who can do what and where.
There's a great Reddit thread which breaks down drivers of US military expenses as compared with global rivals China and Russia (or if you prefer, the Taliban), by /u/GTFErinyes:
The metric that the US spends more on their defense budget than other most other nations combined is an extremely superficial look at military spending and mostly pointless as a comparison of power.
Of course the US spends a lot more than China or Russia: there is a vastly different cost of living in the US versus those nations.
To actually understand where/how the US spends on its military, take a look at the DOD Budget Request for 2018 and Table 5.1 from the Government Publishing Office for historical spending.
You'll see the actual budget breakdown:
- Military Wages - $141.7B
- Operations and Maintenance - $223.3B
- Procurement - $114.9B
- Research and Development - $82.7B
- Management - $2.1B
- Military Construction - $8.4B
- Family Housing - $1.4B
- Overseas Contingency Operations (war funds) - $64.6B
That's right - 25% of the base (day to day non-war funds) budget of the DOD is spent on JUST wages (22% if we include funds spent for war operations). That's just military personnel wages - contractor wages fall under the other categories they get contracted for (e.g. maintenance contractors fall under Ops/Maintenance)
Why does this matter? Compare this to China, where their soldiers are paid a tenth of what the US pays its soldiers. Or South Korea, a first world nation with conscription, which pay its soldiers $100 a month.
If the US paid its personnel what the Chinese do, we'd save nearly $130 billion overnight! ...
https://old.reddit.com/r/changemyview/comments/71bq8h/cmv_the_military_budget_of_the_us_is/dn9mqdq/
The comment continues, with an additional Part 2.
Input costs matter, and where there's price-sensitivity, often-paradoxical behaviours can emerge as a result.
Oh, and: Offshoring is a form of wage suppression.
