World Health Organization fires top Western Pacific official after he was accused of racist, abusive behavior​

The Japanese government, which supported Kasai’s nomination for the role, declined to comment.

Kasai regularly harassed workers in Asia, including engaging in "aggressive communication, public humiliation, (and) making racial comments."

Documents and recordings showed Kasai made racist remarks to his staff and blamed the rise of COVID-19 in some Pacific countries on their "lack of capacity due to their inferior culture, race and socioeconomic level."

A WHO doctor hoping to replace Kasai, Fijian physician Temo Waqanivalu was accused of sexually assaulting a woman at a Berlin conference.

We’re an empire now, and when we act, we create our own reality. And while you’re studying that reality — judiciously, as you will — we’ll act again, creating other new realities, which you can study too, and that’s how things will sort out. We’re history’s actors . . . and you, all of you, will be left to just study what we do.​

True, it was hard keeping track of the realities of the LA homeless rate, doubly so if you factor in fentanyl addiction rates

The American flag was probably made in China too.

The deal severely undermined Israel's attempt to keep some Islamic countries neutral in its potential bombing campaign against Iran in the near future. The Israel-Arab conflict would be a harder nut to crack. BTW, I wonder what kind of change Xi's visit to Russia will bring to the Ukraine War.

It is decline of Turkey that made it happen. Turkey gone permanently bankrupt asking for Arab deposits other countries in the region have much lesser incentive to play games.

This, not starting colored revolutions or coups, is what real power looks like.

Exactly. This is what real power and influence looks like.

Eat that, India!

I feel bad for her. She is clearly in over her head, traveling alone, thinking the world is her oyster and India is a civilized country. Clearly brainwashed by all the "democracy = civilized" propaganda she has been carpet bombed with since birth.

One must wonder when this idiot passes from the mortal coil whether he will eat his words when that empire is no longer the USA but in fact a group of nations that have decided that the USA no longer has the right to ever consider themselves as such and have decided to him and his nation into the corner to cry themselves to sleep for making such stupid comments in the first place

Karl Rove wasn't stupid when he said this. His sentiments are repulsive and abhorrent, but they are also true. Real power is the power to create narratives, to determine what is remembered and what is forgotten. All of us here are to a greater or lesser extent outside the Washington consensus, and as such we are reminded of its pervasive reach each and every day.

Academics like to imagine that facts and truths can be uncovered through careful research and reasoning, and that moral condemnation has some import. Karl Rove knows better. Historians can discover and write whatever they like about e.g. the crimes of the American empire. The victims remain dead and their killers fattened on the spoils of their crimes. There is no reason or justice in this world, only power.

Had to do a double take. Thought was fake.

I think it's a case of japanese people thinking their honorary white status automatically translates into white privilege in 3rd world nations- you rarely see women from China or even taiwan traveling alone to the middle east, latin america or central asia let alone India of all places.
White females have even been sexually assaulted when traveling with their husbands in India when they thought they'd take a tour outside the ashrams.
But that's beside the point, you can't expect the world to have the same level of safety as a first world nation- even when the 3rd world nations are not starving. A few years back, two blonde norwegian girls were beheaded in Morocco of all places and Morocoo is a slave to the Atlanticist powers yet that didn't stop Morroccan men from raping, murdering and beheading these Norwegian women. Lone female travellers looking to Eat, Pray, Love their way around the globe are gambling with their lives.

Now, what was that Westerners loved to say about China not having 'soft power'?

Looks like these Westerners are starting to believe and accept....denial aint just a river in Egypt
