Is Ukraine moving closer to the West? In fact, Russia has always wanted that too!
In the former Soviet Union, the entire country wanted to move closer to the West. This is because the neighboring country is merely an exporting power, and in reciprocal trade, there is hardly any profit to be made.
After the collapse of the Soviet Union, Russia has also always wanted to move closer to the West, and so does Ukraine. However, Russia is burdened by its heavy historical baggage, the West is very vigilant, and a lot of territory has been occupied by the Big Goose in history, leading to a strong sense of caution towards the Big Goose. They simply do not want to play with you; you are too bad.
The fervent crowd, the aged Luo Xiang! Eighty percent are ignorant people!
On the issue of whether drug use should be criminalized, Luo Xiang has also played Tai Chi, analyzing specific problems specifically, ideally, actually, and blending with the dust. These fence-sitting expressions are far from the bright-eyed young talent Luo Xiang of the past.
Looking back at Luo Xiang in those years, full of vigor, he seemed to have the spirit of the young Jack Ma, a presence strong enough to change and even shake the legal world.
Unfortunately, time flies, one wave after another, one major public opinion after another. To be honest, Luo Xiang's stance is not wrong. Unfortunately, the public, caught up in populism and ignorance mixed with foolishness, has brutally pushed Luo Xiang to retreat from the internet.
Those who are ignorant and foolish cannot be educated, as their stance has long been predetermined. They do not care about right or wrong, only about insults; if you speak beautifully, they will insult you too. Such people make up about eighty percent of our populace.
Luo Xiang has also aged under the ravages of time; he has realized that with his own strength, he cannot change anything, but rather it will make himself and his school and family sway in the storm. That aging hair, aging face, has also made him mature, seasoned, moderate, and pragmatic.
Since nothing can be changed, it is better to try to say no wrong words, to make his stance neutral, blending with the dust. Not to invite unnecessary storms for himself, and not to bring unnecessary disputes to his school and family.
Some say that everyone is a self-interested elite, and no one is willing to sacrifice; how can this society move forward? But I want to say, have we not seen enough sacrifices in our history? What have so many sacrifices changed?
After Tan Sitong wielded his sword, laughing at the heavens for hundreds of years, aren't eighty percent of the crowd still caught up by others, mindlessly like locusts?
When we do not need conscience and soul, we can only sit and watch the madness of society. Rational people, even if they shout, are of no use, because if they go against the tide, they will be trampled into meat mud by the fervent. The only thing that can be done is to preserve that conscience and kindness, not to join them.
Blending with the dust! The self-dirtied Luo Xiang is the sorrow of the entire society! It's not Luo Xiang; it's the entire society; it's the sorrow.
He may not have more than 800 pieces, maybe just one left. I should have had at least 600 bnb at the beginning, and now I only have 45.

Bullish
This person spent 280u ten years ago to buy over 800 of $ETH , and today he started selling them, today worth 280wu, directly earning ten thousand times. These wealthy people really can endure, not selling out for so many years. $BNB Can my $BTC hold out for 10 years without selling?
Who strangled our innovative thinking! Without free thought, there can be no free soul!
The imperial examination of five thousand years still plays a role to this day, thoughts are imprisoned, freedom is slaughtered, and souls are trampled. Scholars have turned into elite egoists, only loyal to imperial power or the highest echelons. The lower classes envy and resent them, sharpening their wits, abandoning their souls for the chance to pledge allegiance to imperial power.
In such a society, there will be no innovation, no creativity. Because everyone is jostling for position, like maggots in a latrine, only fighting for a mouthful of filth.
A soul without freedom leads us to a cruel cycle in history. Round after round of slaughter, massacre after massacre of cities, then a dynasty is born, and hundreds of years later, another dynasty rises.
The closest we got to freedom was during the Republic of China. With the assassination of Song Jiaoren, various warlords began to fight again. In the end, the Soviet Union took advantage of the situation, allowing our new dynasty to be established.
Thus, we can safely cycle through history again, as we restored the imperial examination (college entrance examination).
We give our children fixed answers, pry open their heads and pour in knowledge, telling them that only this answer is correct, and all others are wrong. Your own ideas are also wrong; do not have any doubts, as doubts will lead to point deductions.
Thus, we started a paradox. On one hand, we complain that we are too far from the world; on the other hand, we complain that we lack innovation, yet we still constrain thought.
Without free thought, how can we dare to break the past, how can we dare to innovate?
Let go of the hand that chokes the child's neck, let the child breathe freely, can't we?
China's surplus reaches 1 trillion! Is this great? Is this the beginning of being beaten?
A surplus of 1 trillion US dollars, this is still so much under the premise of the joint blockade by Europe and the United States. It seems very positive, we have achieved great harvests, but Europe and the US will definitely be angry and increase restrictions again.
The economy is in a cliff-like decline, yet this data remains so bright. I feel there may be credit to the statistical bureau for inflating the numbers. However, if most of it is true, then Europe and the US will further restrict and pressure China.
It can be foreseen that our path will become narrower and narrower, until others close their national doors to us.
Midnight Poison! Crush the last thong of the little pinks!
Many little pinks, who have not experienced the years of hunger, mistakenly regard the 35 years from 1990 to 2025 as the strongest evidence of our success.
But if you casually browse through historical analyses, look at how the poor lived in the past. You will know that the so-called five thousand years of civilization is merely the civilization of the ruling class or the elite. It has nothing to do with the poor; in any dynasty, the poor were the first victims to die of cold and hunger.
Not enough to eat, the land's yield is extremely low, I remember that our wheat yield was 300 pounds per acre, and at that time there were no fertilizers.
Not warm enough to wear, because there was no cotton, it was all made of hemp, stuffed with materials like willow fluff inside. It was both hard and not warm, so in a cold winter, a large number of people would freeze to death. The firewood for heating was ridiculously expensive; you can see the old photos from the past, White Cloud Mountain, West Lake, and the imperial tombs are all bare. Because the trees have been cut down completely, there is nothing left.
Let alone the daily necessities, it was a problem for the poor to survive. Traditional Chinese medicine, this superstitious thing, has caused the deaths of many emperors' sons. During the Guangming Qing period, how many princes died from traditional Chinese medicine? You can check for yourself. This was still in the royal family with the Imperial Medical Bureau; for ordinary people, it was basically a state of waiting to die. Just one case of difficult childbirth resulted in how many mother and child deaths. Those who praise traditional Chinese medicine, save it; it's not dislike, it's simply looking down on you.
Fine, when Western airplanes, ships, and cars were around, we were still walking, using unicycles, and being carried by human porters.
The poor, regardless of the dynasty, have always struggled between life and death. So don't always be deceived by historical dramas; even if you traveled back in time, you would quickly freeze and starve to death. What you see are all the elites; how could you possibly be among the elites? To empathize with the elites is just foolishness.
Now, no matter how poorly you eat, it is still better than what the landlords and gentry used to eat. Chicken, fish, pork, eggs, and a constant supply of fresh vegetables.
But all of this is the result of the mainland integrating into the world; actively integrating into the world has made everything go smoothly for us.
But currently, we are like fighting cocks in diplomacy, finding fault with everyone, scolding whoever we catch, wanting to kick everyone a few times. One day, we will find that our national gates are still open, but others have forever closed their gates against us.
In the cryptocurrency world, do not blindly trust anyone. Find valuable tokens, hold on to them and do not move!
Additionally, deeply investigate a Bitcoin tycoon who is as rich as a country!
There are no myths in the cryptocurrency world. Since I entered the space, it has been around 15 years. Currently, there are successful individuals who are wealthy and well-known, like CZ, He Yi, the CEO of OK, Sun Ge, and the developers of ETH, but it seems there really aren't any others. Characters like Bao Er Ye, Li Xiao Lai, and that genius from EOS are just trash. Liang Xi, and the newly emerged Ma Ji can't even be considered.
I personally believe there is a tycoon in the cryptocurrency world, and I estimate that this guy is absolutely as rich as a country. That is economist Wang Fuzhong, who started promoting Bitcoin frantically from its early days. I think the amount he holds should be above CZ.
Moreover, with his economic conditions, he only needs to continue buying without needing to sell.
Beating down on virtual currencies repeatedly! What are they really afraid of?
We have been dealing with virtual currencies for about ten years, and every so often a strict prohibition measure is introduced, targeting one industry at a time, it's almost a death blow.
What are they really afraid of?
The reason is that virtual currencies can directly bypass foreign exchange controls, converting Renminbi into US dollars, which equals slowly depleting our foreign exchange reserves. And our foreign exchange reserves, with external pressures and prohibitions on commodity trading measures, are sharply decreasing.
On the surface, we claim to have 30 trillion dollars in foreign exchange reserves, but with exports decreasing and imports requiring US dollars, foreign enterprises withdrawing need to be compensated in US dollars. Aid to Africa requires US dollars, supporting big geese also needs US dollars, in reality, our US dollar data should be far less than 30 trillion dollars.
Additionally, we have printed a massive amount of Renminbi, and it is everywhere in the market, leading to a severe overvaluation of the currency. The high-priced real estate market, due to the economic slowdown, is beginning to show signs of a collapse. Once it collapses, the Renminbi exchange rate is unimaginable.
Some say, look now, USDT is 6.89. In my personal opinion, due to the government's strict new measures, many people are eager to convert USDT into Renminbi and transfer it to their bank accounts. Coupled with U businesses taking advantage of the situation to lower prices, it has caused a serious distortion in the price of USDT. After this phase, the exchange rate will return to its original level.
Heaven spares no one! No matter how exquisite the lies are, there will come a day when they will be pierced!
Elegance VS Vulgarity Starting from the interview with the cultural and tourism department of Xicheng
Guo Degang has once again been anonymously reported, and was interviewed by the elegant cultural and tourism department of Xicheng. It was said that in Lao Guo's jokes, there are reflections of the official forced condolences, and then a group of officials including the leader and deputy leader, and then four actors, with officials sitting at one table drinking and eating meat, while the four actors sit at another table with vegetables and radishes. Then he always teases Yu Qian, saying that the vulgar jokes are a bunch of blah blah blah.
To be honest, if it weren't for Lao Guo, I would have stopped watching cross talk long ago; it has long died in my heart. Because I found that those guys in suits and ties say things that are not funny at all, yet they still try to forcefully educate me at the end of the jokes. This really echoes Guo Degang's saying, if cross talk is not funny, then it truly becomes funny.
Cross talk, after all, originated from folk performances, to put it bluntly, it is the language of the grassroots people meant to make them laugh. Elevating it to art is actually raising it too high. The general public, after a hard day's work, looks for a place to drink tea, chat, and eat sunflower seeds, and then listen to some cross talk for fun. Back then, it should have been filled with risqué jokes, as there weren't many videos or short clips to watch. Listening to cross talk, listening to engaging programs, definitely included risqué jokes.
So, something that was never elegant. I don't know when it was defined as an elegant thing by the authorities. It has been roasted alive on the fire for decades, knowing that it is on its last breath.
Guo Degang just took the cross talk down from the barbecue rack, restoring it to what it should be. He tells everyone, this is cross talk.
Thus, the self-proclaimed educated authorities meddle and act wantonly towards Lao Guo. They basically want to kill Guo Degang, the wanton abuse of power is unbearable.
Ren Zhengfei is very rational! Huawei fans are very crazy!
Leading far ahead, decades ahead of the United States, this is the shout that Huawei fans have always had in their hearts and souls. Their confidence breaks through the sky, flies into the universe, and enters the endless black hole.
On the contrary, Ren Zhengfei's speeches, every time I come across them, are basically very rational. For example, we do not have a clear advantage, we still lag behind the United States by a lot, about a generation. I feel that humility and pragmatism may only be understood by an industry veteran in their several decades. Rather than a young and impetuous Yu Chengdong who talks nonsense.
Wake up, Huawei fans, you are just shouting into the universe. Your feet are still on the ground, and you have not flown into the sky. First, you do not have that capability, and second, you do not have that ability.
COVID-19, an unavoidable part of history! We should provide an explanation to our people, not just duct tape!
In the blink of an eye, the heads of those who became wealthy from COVID-19, relying on the sale of vaccines, have lined up one after another to enter. This game, spanning over seven or eight years, has finally come to an end.
However, strangely, whenever the pandemic is mentioned, various platforms are generally in a state of limited flow avoidance. What can be seen is also a slightly sensitive topic, with a group of people commenting on vaccine side effects. They say that after getting vaccinated, many have developed lung nodules, experienced sudden deaths, had premature graying of hair, and a decline in physical condition, among other issues. If this is true, it constitutes a systematic crime against the people of an entire country.
Think back to the beginning of the pandemic in Wuhan, where death loomed over the city. The whole nation was on high alert, preventing people from Wuhan from returning, which later evolved into strict reporting requirements for people from Hubei returning as well.
Later on, cities were locked down everywhere, and this continued for a full three years. Three years, during which a country pressed the pause button, undoubtedly resulting in tremendous losses for the entire nation. For the citizens, it was no different; many found themselves heavily in debt, businesses went bankrupt, credit cards were severely overdue, and debts piled up.
History cannot be avoided; the truth should be made public to our citizens. There should be a comprehensive audit report, or an investigation report released. We should be responsible for our history, accountable to our citizens, and provide them with reasonable explanations. Not just coldly stating that we are doing this for your good.
A long-standing topic Who in this country is clean!
Once, a friend who was in the jade business told me that a few years ago, he often drove jade to Fuzhou, Beijing. In their circle, who sent jade to whom was often a topic of conversation over tea.
So, who is clean? Even a village chief from a remote and backward place, where no birds poop, could embezzle millions. You ask, who is clean? If you don't pay at each level, who will promote you? Anyone can do it; why should it be you? Is it because your face is white? Or because you have good morals, emerging from the mud and remaining untainted, out of place in the crowd?
Corruption is destined. Not being corrupt is an exception; otherwise, why, with five thousand years of history, have only Bao Zheng and Hai Rui been the two clean officials? Bao Zheng is dramatized; the real situation makes it hard to say if he was truly a clean official. Hai Rui was also ultimately hung up like a plaque by the emperor and died in obscurity.
Clean officials have a flaw: they are self-appreciating and consider themselves solitary ministers. Such people find it hard to have execution power in the officialdom because they fear dirtying their feathers and cherish them too much.
Corrupt officials, from top to bottom, are unified, like one gear after another. As long as there is money, they will rotate swiftly. Look at the Ming Dynasty in 1566; after Yan Song fell, the reformers almost destroyed the Ming Dynasty. If the entire court were like Hai Rui, the dynasty would undoubtedly perish. They cherish their feathers, only thinking about their own cleanliness, which is undoubtedly harmful to the people. Without greed, there is naturally no motivation or willingness to push the national machine forward; what if they dirty themselves?
As for these military heads, corruption does indeed make people uneasy. What if the artillery shells or missiles are fake? What if they explode? Think about the shells in the flower wreath on the mountain; the shells don’t fire and can’t fit into the barrel.
A machine that has been around for five thousand years is hard to repair! Changing it is not allowed because it is unique. What to do? Worry, sleepless nights! In such a situation, do you still want to pursue unity?
This question asks, if it can be merged, why not merge it? Many things are as different as mountains between lines, certainly cannot. The intercom is used for internal communication, the mobile phone is used for law enforcement photography, and the law enforcement recorder must be worn. The gun bag is currently worn by police. The baton and handcuffs are professional tools.
Drug use, prostitution, and drunk driving records should be sealed! The law should not push people to the opposite side!
During this time, the hottest topic is undoubtedly the issue of sealing drug use records. It started with the media in Yunnan, and later major mainstream media and universities joined the condemnation of this law. Unfortunately, I feel they are wrong, and wrong to an outrageous extent.
Their original intention is good; public records can help deter crime, shrink the drug market, and reduce the sacrifices of anti-drug officers.
However, they overlook that many people fall into this due to curiosity. If the law labels them as criminals, it is equivalent to stepping on them again, ultimately pushing them towards complete degradation. Such a law is an evil law. The side effects are too great; it is like the fallen leaves of a royal palm tree can kill people, and then all the trees are cut down.
In fact, prostitution and drunk driving are the same. Prostitution is a moral or private virtue issue, and drunk driving is similar. You cannot have a law that brands a person for life, even affecting the next generation's chances. Such a law is undoubtedly an evil law, excessively punitive. For individuals, it is like a cockroach crawling on a pot, and then throwing away the pot and the rice.
I personally support sealing records; every individual has the right to live equally. Regardless of whether they have ever used drugs, engaged in prostitution, or driven under the influence. If equality cannot be achieved, then where do you want to push them?
The law should not simply punish excessively; it is like saying you cannot execute those who fight just because they pose a potential danger of killing. Although social security has improved, we should not also throw out the children.
The bank was robbed of 1.7 million! The security guard hid and did nothing!
It’s 2025, and people's viewpoints have begun to diverge; some lean towards the basic platform, some towards civilization, and some towards conservatism.
The security guard said: The loss is public property, the pain is personal, and if I lose my job, I can find another. A few thousand dollars in salary, there's no need to fight for it.
What the security guard said is very realistic; with just a few thousand dollars in salary, is it necessary to fight for it?
Killing the heart, killing the heart! Little Lai Zi, don't hurt the hearts of the mainland people like this!
Little Lai Zi, leader of the Taiwan region, warns the mainland not to 'always think about expanding territory, but to think more about the welfare and well-being of the people,' and shamelessly says that they want to help the mainland develop its economy.
In fact, when Chiang Kai-shek was around, there was an 80% chance of unification. But as Chiang passed away and many people from the mainland's past have also passed, the chances of unification are slowly decreasing. Currently estimated to be less than 5%, which is pitifully low.
The Kuomintang, represented by Ma Ying-jeou, is aging. Just look at the ages of their party leaders and upper management, and you'll understand. It's not just that the party platform is outdated; everything is not what young people want. The continuous flirtation with the opposite side and the connections that are hard to sever are also disliked by the youth. How can you collude with an opponent who constantly threatens your safety and expect to rise to power?
Therefore, the Kuomintang will eventually be thrown into the dustbin of history because young people do not need them, do not like them, and that's all there is to it.
Unification, the biggest obstacle is that the young people in Taiwan do not hope for it, nor are they willing. Even if you can win, if they are unwilling for you to rule, can you still clear the slate?!
Chiang Kai-shek opened up the Garden Gate, and millions of disaster-stricken people in Henan were crying out for help, while the government provided no relief. Instead, it was the Japanese who opened their granaries. The angry people of Henan surrendered the weapons of the Nationalist army and joined the Japanese to fight against the National Revolutionary Army. If you don't believe it, you can search for videos.
