For whatever reason it has been more successful attracting Arabic speakers than the fediverse.
“If there were an Oscar for best theatrical performance by a country, Israel would win every year. It’s a country based on theater. It’s a lunatic state - completely insane”.

There’s no bottom to Zionists settlers. Cruel invaders that the Palestinians have been cursed with.
I forgot this thing exists.
Really looking forward to mass produced 16nm chips. Flooding the market is just what’s needed to make them more affordable
Those days are long past and were a historical anomaly. We live in a world where Afghanistan defeated the US-led coalition forces.
I really can’t speak for China, a Chinese would be better informed here. But if I were to draw parallels to the discourse here [Arab and Muslim world], history plays a huge role, not just as a model to follow. As socialism is clearly a break from the past for China. But lessons to learn from and shape your world view.
For the Arab world Islam was the midpoint of our history and a new beginning. But we still carry on things that even predate our ethnogenesis as a distinct Semitic people, as past lessons.
it’s far from being the main thing that explains why China is China and why it shouldn’t aspire to be the US.
China is China because of its economic model. I do believe socialism is a better model than capitalism. But even some capitalist countries are closer to China than the US because the culture emphasizes things like harmony and shared prosperity, and places a greater burden on the government’s responsibility towards the people and their welfare. Things like this are motivated and informed by our own history and culture, at least for Arabs.

I stand with Sudan. UAE is being a trouble maker in the region, they even illegally occupy Yemeni islands.
Fun exercise: 🇸🇩🇦🇪🇾🇪 are the flags of UAE, Yemen and Sudan. Can you tell which is which?
US news is World News for the rest of the world
Everything we were told Trump will do, Biden is doing. Including cutting financial support to the UNRWA.
Those are relevant arguments to people with ancient civilizations with a long history of political and social development and philosophies. They are certainly relevant to me and many like me in the Arab world.
A nation of 330 million cannot control a nation that has 1 billion more people. Nations should also be free to choose their own destiny. A logical fallacy many in the West fall for is assuming the rest of the world wants to be like them and should be like them. If I have a 3000 or 4000 year-old civilization why should I take marching orders from a baby state that’s not even 300 years old like the US?
The US FAFO. Now it is on us to deliver it another defeat. The Afghans aren’t better than us, we too can be victorious.
You missed the step where the US was bankrolling a genocide
I’m so glad my government was wise enough to make peace with Iran despite the US’s objection.
Every accusation is a confession. Now I’m starting to suspect the US may also be an autocracy.
Funny how that works.
They are making solar panels in Afghanistan now with technology imported from China.
If Afghanistan is left alone it can develop and progress. When the modern Saudi state started out a 100 years ago it was basically like Afghanistan. And this is it now https://youtu.be/FC0bl2PObW4
If you considered Vichy Afghanistan to be stable. It clearly crumbled immediately.
Freedom of the press and protection of journalists in the West. If he went to talk to Netanyahu no one would have minded.
