What the heck is going on with this current Israel's minister making such inflammatory comments against Palestine and the Palestinian people by stating that Palestinian people don't exist and never existed at all? The level of irony from the minister's comment is rather sad and shows the current level of politics in Israel right now.

Is-a-fake

Yes of course, economically Canada, security-wise UK.

Pretty sure Russia can provide more economically to China than Canada to the US. What's Canada main export besides hippies and "mining" companies of dubious capital and shitty sand oil?

You cut off Canada from the US and the US as a hegemon would suffer a huge, if not fatal, wound. That's how important it is. Big countries need to have their own Canada as a supplier of raw minerals or/and energy

US has Canada, China will have Russia. Of course that's only for the economic fields, security matters are another story

There is no need to directly compare Russia and Canada, both of them serve their role in a satisfactory way. Me mentioning them together is because they are kinda similar on their role

These fine people can start showing their good will by sending their children to China as hostages guests where they will learn Xi Jinping thoughts and basics of meritocratic governance. This will provide America with a new generation of capable mandarins who puts the needs of the people above the need of corporations and profit.

I meant it in the sense that while Russia is mainly a resources exporter not unlike Canada, they have a far bigger and more useful industrial capacity than Canada does, which makes it far more valuable than Canada to the US, vis a vis.

US calls Tsai transit 'nothing new', urges China to not react aggressively​

WASHINGTON, March 21 (Reuters) - Expected U.S. stopovers in coming weeks by Taiwan President Tsai Ing-wen are standard practice and China should not use them as a pretext for aggressive action toward the democratically governed island, a senior U.S. administration official said.

But the senior U.S. official told reporters on a call on Monday night that every president of Taiwan had transited through the U.S., and that Tsai has done so herself six times since taking office 2016, most recently in 2019.

She had met members of Congress during all of those visits, the official added, noting that the COVID-19 pandemic had limited her travel in more recent years.

"We see no reason for Beijing to turn this transit, again, which is consistent with long-standing U.S. policy, into anything but what it is. It should not be used as a pretext to step up any aggressive activity around the Taiwan Strait," the official said.

The official said Washington had communicated to Beijing that Tsai's stopovers are in keeping with past precedent.

"There is nothing new from our point of view," the official said.

How China will respond will be even more interesting than Tsai's visit to the US
