The process of being demoted from US vassal to periphery is causing positive change in the class interests of the UK, internationally. Starmer obviously still represents the UK’s bourgeoisie, but there’s fighting between the domestic bourgeoisie and the US Empire’s. Imperialist infighting.
I’ve long had this thought that real changes almost exclusively come about when the bourgeois class has a split and starts infighting. What I saw during the five-year debacle that was the lead up to Brexit was bourgeoisie having power struggles with other bourgeoisie. The media messages were mixed, the money was in confusing places, there was no clear understanding where anyone stood.
It’s those weak moments that entities (ideally already well put-together socialist orgs) often have a real chance to exploit and consequently make a big difference. Divide and conquer I suppose.
In this case, it’s actually China getting involved and offering an actually good deal in order to bring about the downfall of US hegemony, which is kind of potentially huge.
I agree, big changes may be coming!
Damn, I’m actually jealous of the brits for something sir kid starver accomplished- hell is a hockey rink rn
In Florida, can confirm; Gonna be in the 20’s this weekend.
HAHA… England turning the whole of the USA into a “flyover state” on their way to China.
Haha there’s no way that’s the route. UK and China are in Eurasia why would they fly over the US
Yeah Chinese airlines go over Russia, Euro airlines can’t so they go south over India, but neither route goes anywhere near Amerika.
Usual route, yes, but thanks to some diplomacy pioneered by Eric Adams, the route is now London Heathrow > Istanbul > NYC JFK > LAX > Shanghai
you know first stop is always Istanbul
@grok@hexbear.net can you explain
Is joke, has nothing to do with the actual air line routes.
@grok@hexbear.net explain the joke
@groKKK@hexbear.net is who you’re looking for
you’re not able to see @grok@hexbear.net’s replies because you don’t have Hexbear Premium!
make a funny joke
Friendship ended with USA
Now China is my best friend
Now watch as he pulls a Brandon and calls Xi a dictator the moment he returns to the Pedoph-Isles lmao
You know he’s going to bumble this shit somehow, he’s fundamentally incapable of doing anything right
Brandonism with British characteristics: he compliments Xi by calling him a monarch.
The hyperbrandonization of all things between heaven and earth will continue until morale improves
Pedoph-Isles
Fuck, that one is good
the moment he returns to the Pedoph-Isles lmao
How have I never heard this one before??
I move in the shadows and keep an ear to the ground
Nah, this is at least partly if not mostly for British engineering and services companies who already work in China. It cuts down red tape and cost for them, plus it’s the most basic precursor to potentially agreeing on services legislation.
It’ll likely also be used as another avenue of infiltration for US removed / JSOC.
Starmer is a completely owned and proud bagman for US intelligence services.
A more concrete agreement than anything that’s happened in the decades of crowing about Britain’s “special relationship” with the United States.
dangerously close to making me wish I was br*tish, but I will never yield
Fuck yeah
I was called overly optimistic yesterday when I said UK was trying to abandon the special relationship with the US and replacing it with China, this is well beyond what I expected in 24 hours.
Having paid almost £200 for my visa (that lasts 2 years) nary a year ago, I’m both pleased and ENRAGED
Starmer embraces Mark Carney thought
Someone punch me am I dreaming?
US pissing off one of its oldest ‘allies’
lmao
The ONE downside to this thawing of relations, is that I truly think a major step in the reconstruction of the British psyche would have been to see the entire Royal Navy turn into artifical reefs at the bottom of the South China Sea… but I’ll put my faith in the CPC to have worked out some more peaceful route to civilizing the pirate slavers of the north Atlantic.
having Chinese food tomorrow to celebrate o7
