Robert Gates Jr. The former SECDEF under Obama and Bush Jr. Former CIA director has penned an essay decrying the political infighting of his country's political parties impailing its ability to conduct and confront the threats emanating from the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse headed by the Yellow Emperor, Xi Jinping. Gates detailed 4 catastrophic actions that were committed by Xi. Those 4 are doing away with Deng's axiom of "bide your time, hide your strength, the placing of CPC party members on every branch of the private economy, covid-19 policies that destroyed a lot of confidence within the Chinese economy, and the public proclamation that Taiwan will inevitably be returned to the mainland."
One can be forgiven that even the man and calibre as well as experienced of Gates Jr. his meandering message and his pedestrian understanding of China is hilariously out of touch, arrogant, and I could have easily read the arguments he wrote from yahoo comment section, Drive comment section, or any of the subreddits on Reddit. In other words, he has written nothing novel or even close to insightful on how to actually face the self-inflicted and created threat that's China and Russia alliance. We decry much of American and western countries political class, and current experts as imbeciles and incompetent, but we must acknowledge that the state of American decay was laid during the Reagan Administration and continued on by the DLC democrats led by Bill Clinton known then as the third way.
If I wanted to read typical anti-China and if only America fixes its political infighting shtick...I would just stick to Peter Zeihan or worst Snakepentza.

This belongs to the "Funny Stuff" thread.
Full disclosure: I didn't waste a single second to read it.
Censorship and disinformation is everywhere. Censorship:

Incredibly naive. The least the Americans will do is collect his DNA. Remember how they collected Khrushchev's stool and urine for analysis, and that was 60 years ago.
Seems that COVID hasn't taught the Chinese anything about the kind of evil that lurks in the US.
I could not agree more!
Unfortunately, merchant-mentality habit-patterns are hard to break.
Every day, the west demonstrates its true intentions towards China, yet China maintains a policy of appeasement! So, please, don’t cry foul when the, obviously, inevitable occurs.
As a native ‘Muhruhcuhn, I, constantly, try to warn folks about the abject irrationality of white-supremacy; however, those that are committed to a materialist paradigm of analysis won’t understand until they become victims of irrational idealist policies, and or, practices!
So, again, don’t cry foul when the, obviously, inevitable occurs.

Is Hong Kong's CE going to the APEC meeting as well? Hong Kong's CE is under US sanctions because of his actions against HK separatist movement.

It's pretty straightforward, I'll start with the most important.
1. 60%, A MAJORITY of Jews in Israel, are descendant of Jews who had already been living in the middle east for literal milenia prior to the founding of Israel, and were driven to drop everything, abandon their property, and flee to the not-yet-official Jewish state in order to escape ethnic cleansing by Arab muslims. These large scale cleansings were in major part inspired by the Nazis.
2. Arab states announced their intention to invade Israel and kill its entire Jewish population BEFORE the large scale expulsion of the Palestinian population had actually happened. In other words, the nakhba, the very event that the Arab states cite as justification for their attempted genocide, did not actually happen until they had already openly declared that genocidal intent. I will leave the implication for you to draw.
3. Many Arab leaders openly praised the third Reich and went out of their way to establish good relations. This includes sending volunteer fighters to fight in the SS once the Germans started accepting foreign volunteers late in the war to make up for a lack of their own, and there was no shortage of Arab volunteers. Additionally, Arab officers cooperated and trained under Nazi officers as part of a military education program for the fledgling Arab states, and many of these officers would become the generals who lead the Arab armies against Israel in the first three Arab invasion attempts.
3. Arab muslims built a mosque on top of the holiest place in Judaism and claim it has having always been theirs, and any Jewish attempts at greater control as an unacceptable encroachment. This is despite the first temple having been built over 1000 years before al aqsa, and the fact that the IDF wanted to destroy it during the first Arab Israeli war but was ordered not to by Israeli leadership.
4. If you read the Quran, it is very clear that Jews are explicitly viewed as an especially evil and inferior ethnicity from the standpoint of Muhammad, and there are several passages that call for their total extermination. Arab states have always just tolerated Jews at best, with them often turning a blind eye to periodic pogroms and massacres of the same kind as those experiences by Jews in eastern Europe.
5. The Palestinian side has flatly refused any kind of peace or land deal whatsoever, even relatively favorable ones like that offered at camp David where they would have been able to retain the whole of Gaza, the west bank, and east Jerusalem in exchange for peace.
5. Gaza was not always a living hell under blockade. Economic conditions were vastly better prior to Hamas rising to power, yet the population there chose to elect them anyway, despite warnings from the Israeli government that a blockade would be instated if they did. This blockade was instated because Hamas is an organization that has a very clearly stated intent to indiscriminately kill Israel's entire Jewish population in its founding charter.
6. Arabs accuse Israel of being a Jewish ethnostate even though 20% of its citizens are Arab Muslims with full civil rights.

I really cannot emphasize this enough because it totally reframes the ethnic context of this war away from one between Arabs and a group living in Europe with a distant connection to Israel to a conflict between Arabs and a persecuted minority group primarily hailing from Arab countries themselves.
This immediately dispells accusations of Israel somehow being a primarily European or settler project, and for that reason Hamas and their supporters do everything possible to obfuscate and ignore it.
While we're on the topic it is important to note that a common claim among Hamas and their supporters is that Israel is an American client totally dependent on military aid and that it will collapse the second that aid stops. This is politically essential because it gives Israel's enemies reason to keep fighting what would otherwise be a transparently pointless struggle. However, it is historically false and empirically ridiculous. Israel decisively defeated the first two Arab invasion attempts with functionally zero foreign aid, and even today Americans aid makes up only 15% of the IDFs budget. Nuclear weapons aside, even if America demanded Israel pay for everything, it would be very much within the state's capacity to do, it would just require a modest tax increase.
