I can't imagine what kinds of fake news these outlets could come up with if China truly invaded Taiwan.

You think I'm joking, but we really have a ROC example of this back in 1949 already:
  • 1949年1月2日:总统强调武装和平,只要主义存在必能转危为安
  • 1949年4月23日:中共发起全面攻击,当局采取紧急步骤
  • 1949年4月24日:治安维持会成立,筹备欢迎解放军
  • 1949年4月25日:百万市民夹道欢呼,解放军进入南京,我们的队伍来了

  • 2nd of January, 1949: the president stress peace through military might, as long as we remain true to our doctrine we can always avert a crisis
  • 23rd of April, 1949: the chicoms begins full assault, government takes emergency steps
  • 24th of April, 1949: security committees are established, to prepare the city to welcome the PLA
  • 25th of April, 1949: millions of citizens line the street to welcome the PLA, our forces are here!

She also expressed concern about a lack of transparency and said the pact had the "potential to undermine stability in our region."
AUSTRALIA, did you just said "lack of transparency"?

I have a better idea regarding your concerns...

How about you tell your dad across the pond to your northeast to disclose whataver their biolabs are doing in Ukraine, then???

Americans writ-large are busy fighting each other with their never ending culture wars. As of right now the current trend on American social media is the apparent doxxing of a popular Twitter account called "Libs of Tik tok" which essentially publishes a bunch of Tik Tok videos posted by cringed Liberal users themselves opining on things like this:


Which to most North American Asian dwellers on this forum would know that such video/opinion will garner a lot of attention to the conservative Americans that are feeling essentially embattled on social media for their "traditional" beliefs in God, Guns, less Government/less Taxes and then there are your flavourful right wing nutjobs that believe Mexicans are all rapists, drug dealers, China created the Wuhan virus, China genocide crowds.

The person in the middle of the culture war is none other than the infamous Washington Post writer/resident hypocrite/self-appointed moral arbiter on all things LGBTQ, Taylor Lorenz. She has apparently doxxed the real identity of the person that runs the aforementioned Twitter account which can lead to a lot of personal safety issues for the said person. Unironically, Miss Lorenz decried such practice not too long ago when she was interviewed on an American national channel for exactly the same reason:


American Liberals are essentially waging the kindergarten version of Cultural Revolution in America which is creating severe pushbacks in souther states/purple states (meaning both Democrats and Republicans can win the states) and Red States (Strong Republican majority voters and elected officials) that in places like Florida a state governed under Governer DeSantis just recently passed legislation aimed at curtailing the supposed assault on their traditional values by the Alphabet group LGBTQ which are synonymously tied to the Democratic Party. Even the recent appointed Supreme Court Justice has been mocked relentlessly on social media by conservatives fuming that now confirmed Supreme Court Justice Katani Brown Jackson's handling of the question regarding the definition of a woman coming up with attacks like this:

Now, why am I posting these? It's important to post relevant issues of the day that's grappling the most powerful country like the U.S. to essentially show to others here who are not maybe intimately familiar with the U.S. system, American way of life, general thinking, and just the current general political discourse that's plaguing that country. Americans are far more divided than they have ever been which is why both political parties have to create perpetual enemies to be used as the escape goat for their political-military and business leaders failures.

Accepting one's own personal responsibility maybe a favorite mantra of the Republican party but that's just a mantra not practiced by the majority. Free speech advocates on both parties can Lol on this issue because they will literally shut you up if you go against their core beliefs.

China has a lot of issues no doubt, but it can't and must not take drastic or hastily actions that will detract it from achieving it's overall objectives. The country and the people (minus the cringed hanjians, liberal huggers, right wing nutjobs) should be confident enough on their country's political system and culture to see their country through. America may have been the best at everything and they were the shining city on a hill, but that's in the past. China is the future so long as it's always strive to seek the better path and alway self-correcting.
Honestly, if you spend any length of time on conservative social media, you'll come to the conclusion that the devs forgot to give them enough voicelines. They are the ideal NPCs.

They call it "using love to generate resistance"

The US still has not stopped buying Russian oil either. Will supposedly stop next week.
Do you think the Indians aren't seeing what will happen? These countries will try to out compete India in buying what will be scarce Middle Eastern oil. Then Indians will be the ones coming short on oil. They are being smart about it. Unless the Middle East increases their oil output it is either this or oil shortages.

The EU is still buying Russian energy while the West demands no one else buy it themselves. This morning I saw economist Jeffrey Sachs being interviewed and he said the West should be realistic because the majority of the world isn't supporting the West's sanctions against Russia not because they love Russia. It's because their economic well-being will be at risk. The US isn't helping them like they're helping the EU.

Europe & US agree on more sanctions for Russia​

The energy industry is anticipated to be the most likely target

It’s not clear exactly what sanctions are planned, though the energy industry is anticipated to be the most likely target. The conference participants made a point of reaffirming their “common commitment to diversify energy sources by reducing in this way the dependence on Russian supplies,” according to the Italian press release.

Here comes the desperation. The Russia economy hasn’t imploded nor has the Russian Army been crushed. Everything that could be sanction has already been used… except for ENERGY.

I wonder how likely the West is going to drop the hammer on India for violating their sanctions.
