Wasn’t someone in the German state just saying they support US sanctions on Spain for not going along with the Iran war?
In regards to adaptability, I’m comparing it to the liberal democracy I live under. Every administration in my lifetime has had far far greater policy continuity than difference. And it’s billed as a “laboratory of democracy”.
The CCP is at least capable of recognizing policy failure and trying something else.

Stating they’re gonna invade or stating their claim its their province? Unless something has changed recently, Taiwan documents (ID, drivers license and such) are valid and accepted in CCP’s China. I don’t really see why they would invade, considering all the military buildup the US has done in anticipation of it.
Like, if there’s a lesson to be learned from 21st century history, it’s that invasion and regime changes - on top of being horrible and immoral - do not work. You don’t have to like their one party system, but it’s undeniable that as an institution, it’s capable of analyzing conditions, learning from them, and adapting policy.
Just kinda seems like we’re wish-casting that our geopolitical “adversary” make the same mistake we keep repeatedly making.
Frankly, with how much I’ve seen people predict China’s imminent invasion of Taiwan over the last… decade or so… I kinda think we want them to do it more than they do.

All his green initiatives were catering to private business though. Tax breaks and subsidies with little conditional restraints. If you want left wing green energy initiatives, look at how China does it.
Genuine political change has to come from the people who live under it. If Trump got blown up tomorrow, it would no more change US politics than this is gonna do anything for Iranians. If you want a people to rise up against their “dictator” give them space to decide the best course of actions for themselves.
Why should Iranian citizens look on this as a good thing, take it as an opportunity overturn the system, when the country that bombed and ransacked their neighbors for 20+ years is looming like a vulture?
People who grew up around the same time and geography have the same historical pressures on what behaviors they learn. Obviously outcome varies a lot individual to individual, but it creates broad trends among large groups. Sorting chronologically brings those trends to the forefront.
You might enjoy Terry Pratchett’s witches series. There’s magic, but the real trick is solving your problems without ever using it. Wyrd Systers or Wee Free Men are good places to start.
To put on my obnoxious skeptic hat, it sounds like you are analyzing how the historical conditions of people’s upbringing affects each generations’ behaviors and mannerisms. Just, with an astrological chart rather than with a calendar.
Yep. For a small example, chuds are absolutely giddy about the end of pennies. If it happened while a Democrat was in office, they’d be bemoning every aspect of it.
US politics is mostly about being contrarian to whomever you feel is doing freedom wrong.

Evolution selects for the first thing that happens to work. It’ doesn’t have to work particularly well, only well enough to not die from it.

He stopped a rail worker strike for safer working conditions, then six moths latter there was a massive derailment and an environmental catastrophe in Ohio. You would call that left?
Chasing “balance” is how we got here in the first place.
funny thing is, it wasn’t even all that subsidized
some grants and a tax break, the next administration eliminated that practically overnight
no, now you can stack past the limit in normal gameplay
