It’s interesting, I tend to get a lot of bot followers whenever I post about China. This has been happening for a couple of years now. Bluesky can't seem to shake these ladies who stare into distant horizons.
On paper, that may be true. But that's not how money laundering from/by state and state-aligned actors works.
Is this a real piece from C-Span, or is it a skit from SNL? Can't tell anymore.

The last time people in Hungary tried something this major, the old USSR sent in tanks. But times are different now...🤞www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/guides/z3h9mnb/...
This about sums it up.
Record turnout expected. "Millions of Hungarians are voting today in a historic election marked throughout the day by high turnout seen as a moment of truth for the Hungarian leader and European politics." www.euractiv.com/news/hungary...
Trump's upcoming visit to China will be interesting if the US decides to board and commandeer a Chinese-flagged tanker in the Strait.
If China and Russia are going to challenge the US on opening the Strait of Hormuz, my bet is that they will do it jointly and bring the European on board.
The race is on between Russia and China to see who gets to humiliate Trump and the US first. Never thought the world would be brought to the brink of a nuclear war because of a sliver of water that was, until a month ago, open to the world.

President Trump’s Tuesday post casually threatening to level Iran, in a way that seemed to suggest the use of nuclear weapons, lit up classes around the country where young Americans are studying morality and war.

We need to normalize people deleting posts once they realize something is fake or inaccurate. Too often, people double down when challenged because no one wants to lose face. #grace
