Russia and China have already allowed a SCO member to be beaten up in front of the whole world, without consequences. And not only to beat up, but also to squeeze a healthy piece of territory and organize ethnic cleansing on it. Do you know Nagorno-Karabakh?

They allowed, of course, not the United States and Israel, but Azerbaijan, which is much inferior to them in capabilities. This, in general, showed the real value of the SCO.

SCO or any other organization has value as long as it does not interfere with that formula of 1945 (Arab Wealth and Jewish Brain). it is the word "And" not or. China already supported UAE over Iran in Island issue even though UAE is not part of SCO.
This CSTO or CIS were created much earlier than the new demographic Elite formation inside Russia. CSTO has some work done in Tajikistan civil war and Kazakhstan but its real Aim now is protect from Europa and its culture.

That makes a lot more sense then. Sad. They should suppress the news a bit to avoid copycat attacks. That's what's recommended.

People are self destructing and taking other people out with them. Its something that needs to be address in a society level and not completely hidden. From my impression from the older Chinese ... many are all dooming and negative. Mistakes are hard to be overlook. Don't get married by 30? "Loser left over." Take some Gap time between jobs? "No one will ever hire you again!" In the west, they at least give you hope with optimistic stories of people being a loser early on but being able to recover to better life later.

Meanwhile, some Democrats are talking about shadow governments and some Democrat governors about a coalition against Trump called the GSD.

Sounds like democrats are rejecting western democracy lol.

Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker and Colorado Gov. Jared Polis are leading the initiative, called Governors Safeguarding Democracy (GSD). Democrats currently govern 23 states while Republicans are the governors of 27; Pritzker and Polis did not say on Wednesday which other governors have signed on as members of the coalition.

Too many narcs that were enabled by a permissive environment I think. Comparing the few mass casualty events from the last years with those in US, in China it's mostly middle age, socially "normal" people, while across the pond, it's young, socially outcast males.

That lead me to believe that these people didn't commit attacks because of an overall shit life (or they would have killed themselves/others early on, like what we're seeing in the west). They committed an attack as a spur of the moment thing out of sheer narcissistic rage from a momentary setback, whether a divorce, lawsuit or anything else.

We have a lot of people who essentially rode their way to success without doing much, some just because they owned old shacks that suddenly became luxury apartments, essentially a similar problem as the amoral US baby boom generation, except ours are younger. When these people don't get their way, they react unpredictably due to narcissistic traits.

How to improve? Maybe giving people a greater cause to rally around, or religion. Tell the narcs to blame some outside group for their troubles instead of imploding with rage.

The issue is that it seems the US has control of the time and place the conflict would happen. Eg. They have more control over Taiwan's political system and thus influence when Taiwan will declare independence. They have more informed over chinas external security environment than the other way around.

That needs to change. China needs to prepare even more so than the US so that when the US is prepared, china would have been prepared much longer.

If the US accuses china of weaponizing space, china should immediately throw the accusation at the US and start weaponizing space right away. Otherwise China will always be just responding and not taking the initiative.

I hope China is doing these things already and are just keeping it under wraps. But China cannot let the US dictate when and where the conflict occurs.

The only thing the U.S. can realistically dictate is when it wants the rest of the world to see sinking U.S. aircraft carrier groups and dead American sailors and soldiers. Effectively, it will break the bubble of U.S. military superiority to the people Of the world, not just the political military elites. Already, those in the know, are aware of how inept the modern U.S. navy really is, especially against irregulars such as the Houthis.

Mid life crises happen to everyone, but not everyone takes it upon themselves to cause a mass casualty event. Such thinking comes from despair, vindictiveness against others, and even narcissistic rage. But don’t think this is not happening in the U.S. amongst the middle aged ones either. Millennials unable to afford houses to raise families are turning to political extremism, to think, what comes after MAGA?

such doomer mentality is also endemic amongst western women as well, particularly those unmarried and over 40. Their desire tends to be to burn the whole place down since if they can’t be happy, why should anyone else? They react negatively when men in their age group date younger women. In Chinese society, utilitarianism is the name of the game in dating, hence why Chinese men are marrying foreign and even Russian brides.

That's kinda my point tho, in the west they just go maga or some other cult, while these people from China react even more violently and spontaneously (although you can say that the maga causes more long term damage). I don't think statistically or as a group that they have begun to be a problem, but to nip it in the bud, there might be solutions.

First, people should be taught to take things less for granted. But secondly, to dispose of those already having antisocial tendencies quietly, perhaps a campaign to encourage controlled self deportation? Show them that they can go to 3rd world countries, where their wealth will give them the privileges they're angry they can't have at home.

You don't need (and likely can't) make them into likable human beings, but you just need to carrot and stick them enough so that they don't experience a narcissistic break and go LA concert shooter whenever they feel "infringed".

I doubt its just Goa. Its actually also all of India. Goa is just a microcosm of the state of tourism for the whole nation.

When Indians tourists are no longer as interested in coming to Goa, then it is a crisis.


Cheating taxis and dirty environment. Not a problem exclusive to Goa as we have seen in numerous travel vlogs.


India is a dangerous place for female tourists. More dangerous than even places like Afghanistan. This is the failure of the Indian Police and Indian rule of law. This "Pink Force" is yet another one of those empty talks that doesn't solve anything. Why should women tourists come to India, when India is not serious at all in dealing with its own women safety crisis?


LoL! Goa is still Supapowar India! Shouldn't it be embarrassing for the Supapowar to lose to smaller nations like Sri Lanka in attracting tourists? If Goa had been doing better than Sri Lanka, the Jai Hinds would be boasting about India>Sri Lanka and Akhand Bharat to no end.

It is not just Sri lanka there is more competition emerging in Indian ocean. Arabs can develop all the Islands in Indian ocean. India cannot compete with it. and these Gulf Monarchies have done very deep classification of countries and people. only Russian Muslims elites will know about it.

Why does US scam it's vassals so much. Are they genuinely so short on cash?

I'd think that as the core running an empire, a key part of it is ensuring that the peripheries are well awarded and benefits from the core's decision.

It's actually beyond me why they don't simply give those subs cheaply to Australia. Only sane reason I can think of is that they can't build enough for their own use.

There is a tiny little problem, Taiwan is so close to China that is basically indefensible, is it at range to even the shortests range Chinese ammunitions. China can also makes life difficult to US in other areas, like for example, Israel, which is more important for US than Taiwan or the Baltics in Europe, China and Russia could help Iran to get nuclear weapons faster, making sure that Israel existence is threatened or Russia take over the Baltics. In order to maintain its primacy the US has to project power all over the world, China has only to project all of their power in a island that is on its front door and once they started they are not going to stop.

Be careful. Your enemies are ready to hit China's cities and especially the Three Gorges, after which China will be up to war.
