I wrote the same thing today on X (a historical fact) and got insta banned for 1 week. Twitter ramping up censorship.
Interestingly, leaked documents showed UK officials discussing the option to turn Diego Garcia into a permanent nature reserve so the Chagossians cannot ever return. Such strange behavior - "we'll vacate the islands but won't let you return" - sounds like they hid something there or left a unremovable stain.
This place is also suggested by many to be where prisoners of wars from the middleast and Afghanistan were housed illegally and tortured.
Europe's fatal mistake in the middle-ages: prohibit Christians from usury, but allow the Jews to practice it.

It's not complete bs. The rules are for others to obey, not the authors.
Chagos Islands are the ones most people are completely unaware about. It was TOTALLY ethnically cleansed by UK/US ~50 years ago. The entire population was displaced to Mauritius and left in abject poverty. All done to make room for a US base.

Based. Trading a Su-35 to kill a P-8 Poseidon would be a favourable trade.

And how would turning Iran or Venezuela into China’s Ukraine where it’s a black hole for weapons and money help China?
Russia supported Assad to the hilt, as much as they can, even to the detriment of battlefield outcomes in Ukraine, how has that investment paid off?
Also, just because America toppled a leader doesn’t make there the eternal masters of the land and people. Just look to Iraq and Afghanistan.
This is the fundamental difference in Chinese and western thinking. China is far more flexible and pragmatic in its strategic assessment and thinking.
China will not provide support just because you say you are against someone. First you need to prove that you can actually make good use of that support.
What good is sending advanced weapons to Iran only for tailors to leak their location for the Israelis to bomb? You cannot turn a bad investment into a good one by dumping more and more money into it. All you will be doing is throwing away good money after the bad.
And as I touched upon earlier. Just because America invaded somewhere and toppled its leader doesn’t mean America gets to keep what it has killed. If the incumbent regime is worthless and easily toppled, it’s far better for China to wait for organic resistance movements to form against the occupation and see who is actually combat effective and partner with them.
Even where the local population is docile and doesn’t actively resist, what usually happens is that China just comes in and ask them if they like money. If they do, then China will just trade with them in China’s preferred win-win way, and before long America’s guy in charge is now just as much as China’s guy. China is perfectly happy for them to remain loyal to both superpowers, but if America forces them to choose, they will usually choose America openly for show, but secretly choose China for real. Not only is China’s method way cheaper than military action, it’s far more effective and China makes a profit to boot.
Yes, there will come a time when China needs to show its teeth and choose to stand and fight. But Iran and Venezuela are not the time or place.
