Alpha Dogs are threatening.
It's not a coincidence no one feels threatened by France or Bolivia.

tbf the world has seen America as its butcher since at least as far back as the invasion of Afghanistan. Trump has just changed it so that the nakedly self-interested threat of Bush and Obama has been replaced by pure insanity.betiko wrote:It's a pretty good picture of what people think everywhere in the world guys.

Nice try. We've been #1 since the invasion of the Philippines. That's 122 years on top. WOOF!

Anyone who thinks the Cold War stopped in 1991 is pretty naive imo.

The Soviet Union was prostrate, its empire in ruins. It could have gone any direction. There were grassroots movements for real progressive change. Instead, the West chose to throw its considerable power behind ex-KGB apparatchiks and elevate them to billionaires, giving rise to a new class of kleptocrats to continue the work of keeping the people in chains. All this so that Western corporations could get lucrative contracts "rebuilding" the East. A few short-term profits for a net long-term loss to humanity.
A generation later, those contracts have all long expired or been revoked. Beyond cellphones, cartoons, and hamburgers, Western corporations don't have much impact in the East. But the kleptocrats they helped to elevate are firmly in power, and building a new empire.
So fucking sad.

Samsung sells much more phones than iphone worldwide, so i can't even imagine the market shares in the east.

I think the US was likeable during Obama. The guy was a sensitive, intelligent classy man, without entering into your internal politics which honestly I don't really care about; but in terms of international politics. He won a freaking peace nobel price ffs... that says a lot about how te world felt about him when he became president. Of course he did some stupid thngs in the middle east... but honestly... he got away with a smile, because everybody loves him.Endgame422 wrote:Your half right there betty.

Apple accounts for only 12% of Russia's smartphone market, compared to Huawei (30%), Samsung (22%) and Xiaomi (19%) which together account for just under three-quarters of all Russian smartphones. People are bored of Apple's shitty rip-off pointless phones when they can get cheaper and yet far superior phones from East Asian competitors.betiko wrote:Samsung sells much more phones than iphone worldwide, so i can't even imagine the market shares in the east.
