I've been covering the Belt and Road for a LOOOONNGGG time now. Glad to see it finally dying. Thank you so much for making this coverage possible!

$100B? Pfft. That's like 2 Ukraine donations. Get over it.

I'm confused about BYD. One reads how well they are doing selling EV's overseas from China. Yet, there are so many reports on their battery fires within China. QC improved? Or?

Thus is why communist central planning is evil.

Yes, roughly, except: 1. The US has used donations to renew their ageing stocks of things like 155mm artillery shells, so they gave away the 20 year old stuff to Ukraine and replaced that with new shells. A smart move, 2. The US "charged" the budget the as-new price on old gear that they had retired and planned to never use again, so they gave away things that otherwise they would need to pay to have scrapped, and 3. The US is using surveillance of the Ukraine battle as training for their own personnel, but again, charging this to the budget for Ukraine, whilst also learning a lot about how Russians fight and improving the effectiveness of their equipment. So, the US has been generous, but much less generous than the headline figures suggest.

I saw that I was unsubsidized when you said to do so. Passed me off. That was my motivation to join Patreon and donate to you. Keep on keeping on

Some should turn that into an airsoft or paintball park
