I’m curious. What’s so special about this movie?
It's a Korean T.V. series that's streaming on Netflix. Squid Game as an investment for Netflix has netted the company an enormous R.O.I. since the entire series is actually less costly than some of Netflix famous shows single episode. The company has made according to some estimate in the hundreds of millions.

Not exactly. She has some power on the EU.

I bet what troubles her (one aspect of her u-turn), is that China started talking less with EU institutions and more to the member states directly.

Because if the EU institutions are US puppets then better to talk directly to member states and split their unity.

I always found it strange that China even decided to talk to EU institutions and sideline contacts with member states. Why did China give an opprotunity for a united bloc to talk to it..

It is much better for China to negotiate with 28 (27?) countries than with 1 united super-sized bloc

If sk decides to host us intermediate range missiles, expect China to drop all sanctions on north korea and even arm them with df-21 hgv
Imagine north korea having an hgv that can strike blue house in less than 15 mins lol
Therefore its highly unlikely that sk would allow the us to host irbm on their soil
Arming NK is just symbolic. There is no advantage for having IRBM on NK soil to deter SK, North-east China is only a short distance away. However arming NK does carry the risk of NK go nuts.

The US suggesting intermediat range missiles near China is because US soil is too far. And believe me, the US won't let the hosting countries to get near the missiles, let alone having them, e.g. not arming SK.

What the US want are 1) Sites close to China, 2) in the mean time use these countries as shields . Are these countries stupid enough to be a canon fodder for the US? I doubt.

There's this show called Billions running on HBO as well as SUCCESSION that you should give a try since you seemed to like Dynasty. The shows mentioned deal with the topics you raised that are done far better than Dynasty IMHO.
Wait did I type Dynasty? Ah I wanted to write Succession. Brain fart right there. Both are good shows. Succession was the recommended by the I banker.

Billions and Suits didn't really interest me sadly.

Why would you doubt what decision puppet countries will take.

Just my opinion, here is my take:
Australia will host missiles
Japan will host missiles
50% chance on SK hosting missiles
30% chance on Philippines hosting missiles

This certainly did happen, off the top of my head I can recall:

Because even puppets want to live than dying for the masters?

Taking a beat for the master, yes. Serve a prison term for the master, yes. Die for somebody else? Nobody is going to do that without a fight (against that sombody).
But hasn't Australia shown that it is ready to die for the US?

Some days ago their clown defence minister was talking about war with China.


As for Japan, who knows with them. They are at the very least showing willingless to become a well trained US pet in the region

Really though they should create an alternate history TV show where Zheng He goes to London and colonizes London.
