China is mankinds last hope
The Indigenous people living on the shrinking two-thirds of the island not already consumed by U.S. military bases have little to no choice in the matter.
Today, Guam is recognized as one of only 17 "non-self-governing territories" recognized by the UN. The UN has rebuked "the impacts of the United States of America's increased military presence in Guam and the failure to protect the indigenous Chamorro people from the loss of their traditional lands, territories, and resources; serious adverse environmental impacts; the loss of cultural artifacts and human remains; as well as the denial of the right to free, prior and informed consent and self-determination."
"Today, the massive buildup of military infrastructure and personnel currently being undertaken in Guam has negatively impacted natural and cultural resources," Won Pat-Borja said. "Harm is also being inflicted upon the political, social, and economic wellbeing of the people of Guam, particularly the indigenous Chamoru people of Guam whose historical dispossession continues today."
The construction of a firing range at Camp Blaz located along the island's northern pressed on despite protests from local residents against the destruction not only of natural habitats deemed vital for the medicinal practices of the Chamorro culture, but also sacred sites and burial grounds.
"The confines of unincorporated Territory status continue to enable the U.S. military to do as it pleases in Guam with no consent from and little regard for the people who call it home." he added. "The current U.S. military expansion and buildup in Guam has led to primarily younger people developing increasing frustration and anger. There are many in the community who are critical. We are very concerned."
"We are extremely grateful for the incredible support we receive from the community and the immense patriotism demonstrated." Admiral Benjamin Nicholson said. "Guam is the tip of America's spear, a strategically valuable asset."
This comment is so wrong.
White supremacism is NOT common in Europe. Racism in Europe is not defined around color anymore and it is much milder on average compared to the USA. The problem Europe has is Western dominance is not Western dominance. It is US dominance. The US influence spread unchecked in Europe after WW2 and it is currently so entrenched that countries in the continent don't have a movement space. Multiple generations of bureaucrats were raised in the current environment where Europe acts as an offshoot of pax Americana. Even on a cultural level neoliberal narrative around human rights and democracy is so common that you can't even oppose American narratives in most cases as a politician.
Most people here are aware that Europe isn't the center of the world anymore and are comfortable with this fact. Believe me about this. The problem most people fail to see is the excessive US influence
As a Chinese I'm proud to walk alongside with our Slavic friends like Serbia and Russia, this is after all our fight.
Something is going on within the aviation sector. Qantas and IFALPA have made statements on this.
@crash8pilot what's your look on this matter?

Easy more sanction...lol
Racism is very much prevalent in Europe, especially against Asians. And Europe does have the white supremacy mindset with their "garden" shit. Either way, I'm glad that their economies are tanking and they're losing influence, their gardener complained about the latter recently. French getting booted out of Africa is just the start.
The Apple no fall far from the tree...
US came from EU...
They are one and the same in the bones
