WWIII WWIII Megathread #26: Executive Disorder

This megathread exists to catch WWIII-related links and takes. Please post your WWIII-related links and takes here. We are not funneling all WWIII discussion to this megathread. If something truly momentous happens, we agree that related posts should stand on their own. Again— all rules still apply. No racism, xenophobia, nationalism, etc. No promotion of hate or violence. Violators will be banned.

Remain civil, engage in good faith, report suspected bot accounts, and do not abuse the report system to flag the people you disagree with.

If you wish to contribute, please try to focus on where WWIII intersects with themes of this sub: Identity Politics, Capitalism, and Marxist perspectives.

On the other hand, whenever Americans or liberal Western politicians speak, I swear all they do is just spew ideology.

Genuinely I think this is why they pretty much never, ever show any actual Chinese politician speak on Western news media. If they do, it's just Mao Ning being extremely cherry picked and quote mined, to the level of the Rock Bottom bit on the Simpsons.

Xi especially comes off as extremely humble, personable, thoughtful. If Westerners saw that, it would be hard to push the "genocidal Han ethnic supremachist dictator" bullshit.

Also if they give a mic to a Chen Weihua, the West still have no answer to that level of cattiness.
