Canadian intelligence agencies and media have been taking down Chinese-Canadian politicians one after another.
Yet Canada has no problem letting other races (esp someone we know) take up political positions.

At least if they were fully anti-foreign, it would be consistent. Yet it seems some foreigners are not only allowed but even allowed to care more about their own countries over Canada without having significant blowbacks provided they are not Chinese.

Stuff like this is why its hard to feel any pity for pain western countries get.

All you need to know about the power disparity between countries is to look at the way they respond to foreign aggression.

US (in response to 9/11): we won’t stop until Osama Bin Laden and Saddam Hussein are dead, and Iraq & Afghanistan are in ruins

China (in response to US economic war): we’re not talking to the US until they roll back all the tariffs & come begging for negotiations

Iran (in response to Israel’s bombings): we’re ready to make peace & negotiate, just stop attacking us, we’re only retaliating because you’re attacking us

Many people here want to believe that Iran is somehow holding back or playing for the “moral high ground.” But all I smell is weakness, fear, and a futile attempt at saving face. Like the Carthaginians before the Third Punic War, it is a lesson in the brutal reality of power.
Pakistan also made peace despite hitting India badly despite getting attacked first. Does that mean Pakistan is weak, afraid and attempting to save face?

Iran has absolutely no reason to keep attacking Israel and escalating when they know, just lobbing missiles will not be able to do it. Iran is 1000 miles from Israel. Their goal is to have a peaceful, prosperous and secure life. If things escalate too far, Israel is too destroyed, they might launch nukes, US might also intervene. These are limits to constant escalation.

War is politics by other means, not just to see who has the most guts. Israel also made peace with Hamas and Hezbollah, which they call terrorists. Israel is also a coward to make peace with terrorists?

Once all Iran drone and missile factories are hit, they cannot keep going with this war.

From the look of things, Israel has exhausted alot of their AD. Smaller swarms from Iran are getting through.

AD requires alot of missile. usually multiple AD missiles to target one.

Iran should have enough missiles and drones to pulverize Israel completely. Is Israel going to tolerate that?

If Iran is smart, they will have missile and drone factories underground and not easily destroyed. Ukraine is still producing missiles and drones despite getting pounded by Russia for 3 years.

Moreover, I am sure they are requesting and likely will start to get supplies from friendly countries like China, North Korea, Pakistan etc.

Seems like the Israeli strategy was all about dragging the US into the war.

That's why Israel really wants to pull the US into the war. I'm afraid that it seems the US may well join the war in a matter of days, considering that the US will do the opposite of what they say, just like when they tricked Iran to believe that they were willing to engage in peaceful negotiations right before Israel's strike.

BTW, another purpose of Israel's strike is to trigger a revolution in Iran that will topple its government, which sounds like wishful thinking to me.

Israeli attacks leave Iranians fearful and hopeful​

Some see potential salvation in Israel’s attack despite risk of a wider war.

The more anti-ballistic missiles Israel (a lot of those also come from the US) and the US spend on Iranian ballistic missiles, the better for China.

China's intelligence agency is able to infiltrate the inner most circle of Lai's regime. This article is just unmitigated wishcasting.

Ukraine's audacious asymmetric attack on Russia inspires Taiwan​

Drones, AI-driven strikes offer clues for Taipei's offensive strategy vs. China
