Eliminating elections would not harm dictators. Elections, like all democratic institutions need to be maintained and supported to maintain a democracy.

I commented before that I didn't think that Canadian and have it in them to fight an insurgency, but I have been impressed since then with the Canadian civil and political response since them (Carney more than Ford.) Now I realize that the US has never had to face an insurgency at there border, of ppl who they couldn't possible recognize. When you hear stories of Ukrainians who speak Russian being very successful as insurgents gives a lot of suggestion of how Canadians could make it really annoying for the U.S. government. Then think of how the border couldn't all be guarded.

There are some things that I will only buy through Chinese retailers, to cut out middlemen. There are somethings that I would never buy from a Chinese retailer.

Russia is still ramping up military production on a wartime economy, to be used after the Ukrainians stop fighting back. Also their production focuses on their modern options for land and air. I don't know what their naval production is doing.

They want the Baltics, Ukraine, Poland, Romania, Bulgaria, all to be like Hungary, or preferably like Belarus - slave/puppet authoritarian regimes. Finland too, really, but I think that the Finns scare them.

Sinophobia and russophobia are terms that refer to ethnic racism, heavy leveraged by tankies to position political disagreement as racist. In these cases I don't think that the fear was a ethnic based, but rather capitalist or nationalist.

The fear is still unjustified. It's like thinking that you can trust Amazon more than Ali, or Google more than Xiaomi.

There is plenty of racism against Chinese/Asian people, which is a different level of vile.
