I've been thinking about it in view of the US doing that whole dance of threat around Taiwan, and I've asked myself, is the US capable of building tanks, subs, planes and missiles without China providing be it raw material or basic manufacturing somewhere along the chain? I'm genuinely curious about that so if someone knows about it or can point me on the right direction I'd be very thankful

Just created the ☭Juche Gang☭, guild for comrades for the fans of PoE. Any interested just hit me up.

I was wondering if there is more people here that play PoE and if so if they have or would be interested industry forming and guild of tankies over there

I came across the data from the book mentioned on the post, even borrowed it on the internet archive to give a quick look at it, and couldn't find the sources used for the data, so I what I'm asking is basically anything related to this data or book or both, like how accurate the data is, how they reached it, or where else I can find sources of similar kind of data. Any and every help is highly appreciated fellow comrades.

Not sure if the song adheres to the rule, I don't think it is political per se, and as far as the band goes there are not to many overtly political songs, but I felt that this lyrics resonated a bunch with the revolutionary spirit you know, and the song is uplifting and I quite enjoyed, so if it is not quite with the rules no problems take it down but I thought about sharing it. Lyrics: We reach the stars we touch the sky

The colors of the rainbow high above

We try to catch and take it with us

So many miles away from home

Who cares, ′cause we are not alone

The world is ours, tonight we will be winners

We are fighting for a world without oppression

We are fighting for a world where we can live in without fear

We're indestructible (′cause we are one)

We're indestructible, though we're riding on a storm

Indestructible, we reign the world

We′re indestructible, yes, we′re fighting dusk to dawn

We're indestructible

We play to win, we pay the price

We run the game, we roll the dice

Gambling through the Devil′s eyes like sinners

The world we're holding in our hands

We break the rules, we live intense

Glory, hope and pride we keep within us

It′s a fight against the constant persecution

We are fighting for a world where we can rock on loud and free

We're indestructible (′cause we are one)

We're indestructible, though we're riding on a storm

Indestructible, we reign the world

We′re indestructible, yes, we′re fighting dusk to dawn

We're indestructible (indestructible)

Strong and free, we wanna be

Restless and inviolable

Living like there′s nothing left to lose

Strong and free, we're gonna be

Living independently

No one′s gonna tell us what to do

We're indestructible (′cause we are one)

We're indestructible, though we're riding on a storm

Indestructible, we reign the world

We′re indestructible, yes, we′re fighting dusk to dawn

We're indestructible, indestructible, indestructible

So I saw on this post the upsetting information that fedora is blocked on cuba, and I Wanted to check if the same was true of the downstream distributions, in particular open SUSE tumbleweed, as well.

Edit: By what it seems they put it there more as a way to reduce liability(once the us trade embargoes seem to include most anything with US developed technology, although I do not understand that very well or if it does apply to open source stuff), in case the US comes a looking, because it does not describe any tools or measures to prevent it, in fact it even states that it is not geoblocked anywhere.

I recently stumbled on take on the Khrushchev Lied https://mltoday.com/khrushchev-lied-but-what-is-the-truth/
