I agree with this. LKY even mentioned about it before when he was in semi retirement, whether china's current older gen leaders are able to control the supernationalism in future gen, or something to that effect. The older gen lived in chaotic turbulent times, they know the value of peace and stability. The future gen can be more volatile and nationalistic.
Comrade Trump and Pompeo ensured the 00 generation will be comparably nationalistic as well.
Singapore electronics exports will be displaced very soon. They better behave properly from now on.
I would say that our government hasn't really been supporting the electronic industry as much as in the 80s to early 2000s and have been transitioning to healthcare and pharmaceuticals, so displacement is a matter of time only.
Which is why Russia coming out as victorious on this current war with U.S./NATO using Ukraine as it's proxy must succeed because if Russia fails and collapse it isn't unlikely that Putin and his acolytes will be replaced by a pro-western interests, placing China in the most delicate position being surrounded by enemies from all direction.
Because they got blitz and demolished pretty handily by the Ruskies leading up to and during WWII.
Japanese has been led to believe that they're not "Asian" but rather a proud member of the "White western civilized countries" I mean how else can you explain their actions, pronunciations, with respect to their intent on increasing the tension with China and therefore within the whole of Asia? The Philippines at least has an excuse being that the country is still developing, was colonized by the U.S. and by Spain prior for over 300 years. And judging by their newly elected President is more than willing to extend an olive branch to China with it's recent key personnel hirings from his National Security Advisor to his public pronouncements and this despite being under the umbrella and protection of their key defense treaty ally the U.S.An Island country restrained by limited resources and depends heavily on importing of essential resources from other nations around it, while it's own biggest advantages are either being surpassed by a superpower next door or slowly diminishing due to inflation and low birth rate plus heavy burden from social wellfare, along with a awful historical relation with said superpower, somehow the leader of this island country believes in:
1) The country that nuked us twices and literally ruled us for decades will help us
2) I should start making strong rhetoric toward the superpower next door especially in topics involving it's domestic affairs
3) Even tho we engaged in literal NAZISM, we refuse to apologize and insists on re-establishing our imperial army like in the old days
4) Lets not only pissing one but two of the five nation on earth that has the greatest influence and miliitary/nuclear power
Should we question the sanity of Japanese politicans now ?
I think its more likely a nuclear war will happen if Russia loses, than Putin be replaced with a pro-Western puppet. He currently enjoys majority support from the Russian population, and I don't think the Russians would like to have another Gorbachev in power. If Putin were to be replaced, it would likely be a leader from the second most popular party, the Communist party, which is even more anti-West.
Not really, Japan was primarily defeated by China and the US during WW2. USSR and Imperial Japan were rather passive against eachother during most of the WW2 as the USSR at first was afraid of two front war, especially from its weakly guarded Far Eastern belly, and Japan did not want to open up another front due to getting bogged down in China, South East Asia, and (after some time) the Pacific. Prior to that, the only open hostility was the Russo-Japanese war which Japan won and that was a rather humiliating event for Russia as it was trying to project the image of the strongest & largest military in Europe but then the war exposed a lot of problems in the Russian military, especially the navy which got demolished by Japanese navy, and the poorly trained seamen almost started a war with Britain by misfiring at a British ship, lol. The 1905 war is actually regarded as one of the many pebbles that eventually led to collapse of Russian Empire.
