when did US lost control of strait of Hormuz?. US fleet headquarter is in Bahrain. I have posted link to white house long press release. That is basically foundation of 21st century World order just like 1945 Suez meeting but this time Arabs will have to play more active leading role as only they have the competency.
I dont think Russia has urgent need for arms exports. It is already meeting Arab expectations but far more important is to make this Afghan thing work without disturbing the region.
You read my mind as this so-called-report of a PLAN naval accident Zhou(?) class SSN came immediately after the successful launching of over 10000 km of an advanced ICBM hopefully to allay their fears and trepidation-sad to see the west becoming india in fake news copium/hopium -even our local news in Toronto carried this crap-never mind the indoidiot news.
All these names are nice-kinda like us,
Any opinions on Japan's new prime minister Shigeru Ishiba? Or insights about his background?
Although we know elections don't matter in Japan and all Japanese leaders are going to be American dogs... Still, there's still different levels of dog-ship
Edit:
Seems like Ishiba narrowly won against the fascist Abe supporter Takaichi, and now right wing Japan is angry and claim that China intervened and supported Ishiba against Takaichi

This is a Chinese scholar on Japan, and what she has to say about the people who ran for LDP leader spot
Overall though, Takaichi was like the puppet/front of the more rightwing bloc within the LDP, so not surprising thata lot of right wings in Japan aren't happy that she didn't win.
And Shigeru, while has quite some '爆论' and the likes, but in actuality, might be more 'down to earth'.
The superpower to supapowa transition.
Im really amazed Israel can openly bomb another country and no one is making a fuzz about it. It really shows most people need to be told to be outraged.
This shows reputational or what others think isn't that important since most people just listen to the media.

Not sure how much I agree with this, but worth noting that Israel is extremely dependent on the West for its survival, so it would be very foolish to harbor these feelings. For my part, I think it's pretty obvious that Israel is a strategic albatross around the West's neck.
The fundamental flaw is that Israel has a very large messianic demographic which views the establishment of a "Greater Israel" as paramount and this worldview necessitates endless conflicts with their neighbours. That's why there will never be peace between Israel and its neighbours. How long will the West feel the need to subsidise this deranged fantasy? I suspect the appetite will wave over time.
