What else are they going to do with their vault of dollars tho? At least this builds up productive capacity in the BRICS block while diluting dollar hegemony. They have forgiven a lot of interest free loans in Africa already. Didn't seem to cause much shit eating as far as I know.
I recall a certain poster talking about this as a way for China to use its dollars to help get countries out of debt to western finance.
Eventually the USA is going to create a Big Beautiful Firewall to prevent ~~China stealing their AI~~ international internet users accessing their LLMs.

Merchant marines killed the sea shanty Arr!
There was a startup like 20 years ago trying to get them to be used for trucking/shipping purposes iirc. Guess it didn't work out. If used with hydrogen instead of helium, that can be more cost effective. I've only seen the Goodyear ones a few times when some kind of sportsball event is happening in the metro.
Supposedly they are constantly getting shot at in the states. I recall seeing some docu show where one of the pilots or maintenance folks mentioned finding small holes in them quite often after flying around.
Looks more like an excavator than a bulldozer. Also don't see any armor on/around the cab. The color of the arm suggests this is not CAT, maybe Volvo. Hopefully more info about the incident comes out.

I'm sure you had a little death of shame when you realized what happened. Luckily it seems to have mostly gone unnoticed.
