How the ‘rules based international order’ is in reality a neo-colonial world order
How the 'West' subjugates the 'Rest' of the world (the great majority : 86% + many in the west who do not agree with the neo-colonial agenda) with sanctions, debt and vetoes, coups and puppets. This is the insane reality - a handful of supremacists in the West impoverish their own people in order to subjugate the rest of the world. And almost all of humanity is the loser. All the wars and famines that have resulted, and continue to this day. As for Western 'democracy' (it's all about the money), one only gets to choose between two puppets pre-chosen by the elite. Trump vs Biden - need one say more. Behind the theatrics, it is us and them (poverty equals 'freedom'). With Ben Norton ...

It was interpreted as sauerkraut in China. Korean kimchi originated in the Tang Dynasty. Tang Dynasty general Xue Rengui was assigned to Korea (today's Korea) by the government to settle down in Korea. Many of his entourage were from Jiangbei County, Chongqing, who could make kimchi in his hometown. Since then, Chongqing kimchi has entered Korea. Several wars in Korea have brought this kind of dish into Korean civilian families. Kimchi went through several stages before it became the real Korean kimchi. The first stage is the Three Kingdoms period, when the pickled dishes or radish, cucumber, etc., introduced to South Korea after adding leeks and other fresh vegetables. In the second stage, in the Korean period, the production methods began to be enriched, and the raw materials were added to the base. The third stage is that cabbage has become the main raw material, which is what we eat now.
