Okay unproven.
Did Albert Einstein Say World War IV Will be Fought ‘With Sticks and Stones’?
A quote appears to paraphrase remarks made by the famed physicist —but he wasn’t the first to warn about the dangers of nuclear weapons.
That last is a for sure. I think it’s was one of those self-evident conclusions.
And like all great men, Einstein wasn’t above, e hem, borrowing from other fine minds, so we can call it a draw? 
Agreed.
A name like Albert Einstein has better sticking power than Lt. Dan on Bikini Island…
Chinese are buying a lot of US property, which they will colonize. Same thing is happening in Canada on a smaller scale.
Wow! That’s an old one. I haven’t heard that for a while.
… Chinese firms have expanded their presence in American agriculture over the last decade by snapping up farmland and purchasing major agribusinesses, like pork processing giant Smithfield Foods. By the start of 2020, Chinese owners controlled about 192,000 agricultural acres in the U.S., worth $1.9 billion, including land used for farming, ranching and forestry, according to the Agriculture Department.
Still, that’s less than farmland owned by people from other nations like Canada and European countries, which account for millions of acres each. It’s also a small percentage of the nearly 900 million acres of total American farmland. …
Come again, exactly what is happening?
China is establishing a presence in US infrastructure. Canada and the EU are no threat because they’re on our side.
Well done Pelosi…
-Totally predictable so therefore must be what she and Biden wanted.

BREAKING: China has announced the end to the following cooperation with the US
Do we need China? Does China need us?
Oh , so they are as insane as that Putin and his band of thugs,
Or, perhaps it says more about humanity than it does about China,
Everyone’s gotta be the big shot waving their dicks around and having the brains and sensitivity, and hurt feelings of a nasty spoiled two year old.
It’s not a simple Yes or No answer.
From a business/economy POV, I’d say both are dependent on each other.
For the other topics, the “need” is less, but it could also make the interdependence of economies more difficult to navigate.
Agreed. It took all that time to develop a global economy and now we want to blow it up. Great bring us back to the good ol days. Eh?
Were you ever a diplomate, master of the subtle inference? 
Oh and besides that, we got this little thing going on within the stage of our global economy, that most like to pretend doesn’t exit, namely that really and truly, our global heat and moisture distribution engine is beginning a major transition and weather will go being the friendly adversary that provides our life blood, to becoming a formidable enemy ready to batter our cities and infrastructure like we idiots can’t even imagine. Not to mention broil the increasing numbers of poor, and eventually getting all of us, since all we do is keep pouring more gasoline on the fire.
But most everyone is still so worried about protecting their own right to avarice, to notice.
The self-defeating stupidity of humans never ceases to amaze. Then I gotta listen to the brainiac talking heads with their egotistical obsessions to find “answers” to rather irrelevant questions, when considering the entire spectrum of reality and our human situation how we deal with it.
Exactly which nation is imposing its will on the other nation?
Same as Russia’s claim on Ukraine, China lays claim on Taiwan.
Does that mean we should accept that without question?
Seems to me all the super powers are plenty guilty of imposing “their will” upon others.
I think more in terms of the sociopathic leaders, and the corporate leaders who are more powerful than the puppet political leaders that they enthrone - trump for example, and the ego-power games they are addicted to.
In every day life, we all know that how one deals with an incendiary person, matters when it comes to outcomes. China seems like a total jerk, but then I’m not so sure Washington hasn’t been pretty jerky itself over the decades.
So, in the end, it’s always one thing leading to another,
vengeance and retribution,
retribution and vengeance,
and then we do si do.
While the profiteers of the global military industrial complex simply get more powerful and wealthy - and society and people suffer.
case in point:

And the U.S. should care, why?
Because the true matters can and must only be solved at a planetary level.
We will not solve the planet’s ecology if every country contributes.
I’m sure you meant to post : "We will not solve the planet’s ecology if not every country contributes.
The Russian approach seems better.
Russia keeps the channels of dialog more-or-less open, but simply focuses its energies to act decisively on the ground.
I cannot help feeling the US will regard China’s petulance as a weakness, and will obsessively try to force situations in various theaters requiring high-level military-to-military deconfliction - the precise channel China has closed. Russian doesn’t really give the US this opportunity, Russia just absorbs the humiliations and focuses its energies. Two extraordinary such occasions being the downing of the passenger jet over the Sinai, and the assassination of the Russian ambassador to Turkey: Russia was not side-tracked, and this is also very noticeable (though intensely sad) in Ukraine’s shelling of Donetsk - it will do no good.
We’ll see about that.
Ukraine says Russian troops are withdrawing from Kharkiv
Updated May 14, 20222:05 PM ET
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Ukrainian channels are discussing what might be a leaked data from AFU General Staff:
The Ukraine has acknowledged that its main reinforced defense line west of Donetsk city has been broken:
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy this week described the pressure his armed forces were under in the Donbas region in eastern Ukraine as “hell”. He spoke of fierce fighting around the town of Avdiivka and the fortified village of Pisky, where Kyiv has acknowledged its Russian foe’s “partial success” in recent days.
