Outside the US and a few countries in Europe, Apple is not the number 1 selling phone brand.

Samsung has a larger market share by far. And most of Apple and Samsung parts are sourced or manufactured in China.

Majority of the world's population are poor and can't afford an iPhone or Samsung.

This is why China would always be the number one trading partner of the whole world. They make affordable products for people of different class.

With special thanks to their population which means cheap skilled labour compared to other EU or North America countries like US, Canada

When they tell you the US economy is $25 trillion this, $30 trillion that.


It's all valuation which is artificial and doesn't exist in reality.



I see all these valuation as group of finance guys choosing what has high value and what doesn't especially when it comes to companies and net worth of individuals

Ukraine
Georgia
Chenchen
Plus other former soviets states.
I knew it, you are seeing history in reverse.
Former soviet states didn't exist as independent countries untill 1991. These are former regions of Russia which broke away from Russia. You confuse it with colonisation and independence like in Africa.

No, it is a country breaking up and giving birth to other countries. Also Chechnya is a region of Russia (currently), people like you always seem to think Chechnya is an independent country. Ukraine was a region of Russia which broke away in 1991, Georgia was a region of Russia, even Stallin (the horrible Russian dictator) was actually a Georgian.

1. Give me one neighbour to whom Russia "did all this".


2. So you also mean that Russia mistakenly helped Ethiopia to beat its would be coloniser (Italy) because Russia didn't "got the chance" ?

3. I guess Russia helped Lumumba because "it never got the chance" ? While your beloved USA and Belgium killed Lumumba and did many coups in Africa.

4. You need to stop talking about things which you do not master, repeating propaganda only makes it annoying to exchange with you because it is like talking to a robot. The things you are saying, we've heard them several times already, but unlike you, we tend to use our own brains rather than just repeat what we heard from your favourite source.

I think they are resigning because zelensky is refusing to share power. Zelensky who seems to be president for life, is above any rule and any law and any tradition and is making governance a one man show and going from one stupid decision to an other. That is what I think.

To the public in the west, zelensky is the representative of Ukraine and Ukrainians, to Ukrainians zelensky is the representative of the west, so to them, getting rid of zelensky is like getting rid of the west. I don't think the Ukrainian military wants to get rid of the west. The only guy who could have easily objected to zelensky cancelling elections and remaining in power beyond his mandate was zelujni, and because of that, zelensky fired him before the planned cancellation of election and prolongation of mandate.

Bro, I owe you two bottles of Baba-Apaari

In 1938 when the Soviets proposed a collective security architecture against the Germans, the French and the English were definitely scared to confront the Germans. There was no greater army in the world at that time, the Soviet and the Japanese were almost on par with each other.

America is the safest country geographically, they are protected by the Pacific Ocean to the west, the Atlantic Ocean to the east, a close ally Canada ( and docile) to the north and a subservient Mexico to the South. I often wonder the need for the foreign military bases when it's nearly impossible for her to be invaded.

If America as a country was in Europe, they would think twice before joining the war against the fearsome Germans like the English and French.
You know this is not true. Like I pointed out, America seemed weak as at that time that even Japan had to take a shot at them. War time proved otherwise. A country as large as the US in landmass to start with, would not be an easy prey.

lol how did you think Russia conquered all those territories.....you think they fell from heaven?? From Siberia to yakutia, Manchuria to Chechnya down to the baltic states...every single one of them was conquered and colonized
Re: Russia-Ukraine War: World News, Weapons & Battlefield Discussions - Live by Ghostagain: 1:05pm On Sep 04
There was a non agression pact between the USSR and Germany. If you want to make russian federation responsible of its soviet past, then at least make Germany responsible of its nazi past and stop saying "the Nazis" (as if it were a country from outer space), just say "Germany".

Germany and the USSR (of which Ukraine and many other states which you love today were subregions) had an agreement in which Germany was entitled to western Poland and the USSR was entitled to eastern Poland. They both expanded their territories and took over the lands as per their agreement. A part of that land which the USSR took over from Poland is what we now know as "western Ukraine".

Let me tell you the countries which actually were allies with Germany in WW2: the Baltic states, Sweden (support with mercenaries), Finland, Ukraine (yeah when the ussr's troops retreated and the Germans entered, Ukraine showed a lot of zeal in joining the SS), Italy, Switzerland (a lot of non military support, fake neutrality as usual)...all those nazi loving or Nazi ruled countries are now part of NATO (except Switzerland) which you love.

It seems you don't understand the expression "colonisation". Every country which exists (except colonial constructs), came to existence through expansion. So you are basically blaming Russia for being a country.

To me, Russia was created by the successors of Genghis Khan. That was the first expansion which would be defeated hundreds of years later and give place to an other expansion which gave us the shape of Russia today.

So we can agree that at one point that they tried colonizing poland. Please what made them entitled to polish territory. Care to explain?

Re: Russia-Ukraine War: World News, Weapons & Battlefield Discussions - Live by Ghostagain: 1:24pm On Sep 04
You don't understand what the word "colonize" means. The USSR expanded. Citizens of eastern Poland weren't meant to be 3rd class citizens of the USSR. It was just a country getting bigger, and Mr man that part of Poland is still not part of Poland today, its called western Ukraine as we speak, why don't you take your hanger out on Ukraine and demand Ukraine return that land to Poland?

Also the dictator who took that land from Poland was a man from Georgia! But russian federation of today (not Georgia) gets the blame! History is not easy and you svck at it.

expansion...thats such a subtle word to use, isn't it.
The Russian conquest of Siberia took place during 1580–1778, when the Khanate of Sibir became a loose political structure of vassalages that were being undermined by the activities of Russian explorers. Although outnumbered, the Russians pressured the various family-based tribes into changing their loyalties and establishing distant forts from which they conducted raids. It is traditionally considered that Yermak Timofeyevich's campaign against the Siberian Khanate began in 1580. The annexation of Siberia and the Far East to Russia was resisted by local residents and took place against the backdrop of fierce battles between the Indigenous peoples of Siberia and the Russian Cossacks, who often committed atrocities against Indigenous Siberians. A second ideological pillar justifying Russian colonialism was the spread of Eastern Orthodox Christianity, although this pretext originated largely from explorers and settlers themselves as an ad hoc justification rather than being put forward by the Russian Orthodox Church itself.
