The British-Baltic-Polish alliance is far more aggressive than America. In America, there is still a section of the American elite who urge caution. In Britain, no such contingent exists.

The British are more assertive, the Americans more worried about provoking Russia.
Both Johnson and Sunak have sullied the good name of Churchill.

If Boris wanted to be like Churchill he would have been Putin's best friend and ordered the carpet bombing of Kiev.

China to boycott G20 meeting hosted by India in Kashmir​

Kashmiri activists have been subjected to mass killings, forced disappearances, torture, rape and sexual abuse to suppression of freedom of speech and bans on religious gatherings. Over 355 people were recorded killed in 2021. Over 41,000 have died since 2009.

“China is firmly opposed to holding any kind of

in disputed territory, and will not attend such meetings,” Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokesperson Wang Wenbin said on Friday.

The meeting will be the first significant international event in Kashmir since New Delhi stripped the Muslim-majority region of semi-autonomy in 2019.

On Friday, India said peace and tranquillity on its border are essential for normal ties with China.

Scrutiny has been beefed up in Kashmir in the wake of the event, with commandos patrolling the streets. Police have increased security even further, placing a massive security cordon around the meeting site.
india may believe it can get away with stuff because both blocs want it on their side, but it’s evident after doklam and galwan that India is of questionable use as an ally anyway. Poor fighters, and slavishly Anglo. They bloody wanted English as an official language of the SCO!! Cucks.
The British are more assertive, the Americans more worried about provoking Russia.
For the British ruling class it’s personal. The tsars who were overthrown were related to the British royal famil, but that didn’t stop the house of Saxe-Coburg from denying asylum to the Romanovs.
why did the Anglo Atlanticists hold the meeting in Hiroshima?
because the message is they want for nuke Asians again and genocide Chinese as they genocided the native Americans.

I was wondering why Hiroshima of all places. That makes a lot of sense. The colonial slavers have bullying and genocide encoded into their DNA, all they know is to double-down on the gunboat diplomacy. But they can't do it to the actual lands they covet, so instead they can only turn their rage onto their whipping boy vassals. Extra extra humiliation for the Japanese. I'm not sorry for them.

LOL Johnson as Churchill as if the UK of today equals the power and might of Churchill's Britain. What a puff piece, written by the psy-ops team of NATO. Only the hamsters, sheep's would believe such rubbish.

Boris is emotionally invested into the Ukraine project. Remember when Macron stepped out of line? Here’s Boris saying they should take Macron to the back rooms and beat the shit out of him.

Johnson, Harri said, continued: “‘We need to go studs up on this one’ — a rugby term that basically means, gloves off — ‘We need an orgy of frog bashing. I’m going to have to punch his lights out.’”
“At our morning meeting, I think with a small gang of us, he just launched into a violent attack on Emmanuel Macron,” Harri said. “Basically, saying ‘He’s a four-letter word that begins with C, he’s a weirdo, he’s Putin’s lickspittle.’”

I feel that the Japanese PM really takes it up where the sun don't shine and even walks a little funny. Purposely nuking a 2 cities to kill civilians seems like a major war crime to me. Some claimed it was unecessary but to show up the Soviets. Considering today's rheotorics, I kinda don't feel this little ceremony as genuine for some reason.

It is just a dog and pony show and the intended audience isn't for us but for Japanese citizens. Nuking civilians is never justifiable but between another million of Americans and allies troops that would need to die in order to take Japan. I think it is a necessary evil. In addition, as much as these politicians laying flowers today, most of them won't hesitate to do it again if their rivals can't retaliate in kind.

But for many mainland Chinese, I do believe they would choose not to nuke Japan during WW2 so that they could seek revenge and made Japanese paid for their crimes. As much as some people claimed that it is time to forgive and forget, Japanese never paid for their crimes and compare with the suffer that Asians and especially China by the hands of Japan, Japanese got away too easy with the nuke. That's why I never understand why they have the audacity to play victims. But as long as you are the ally of the West, you probably can get away with anything.

See what I mean when I say the British ruling class is too emotionally invested in the Ukraine war and Russia?
But it wasn’t like they were on good terms with the Tsars either, having fought the Crimean War in the 19th c.

Remember what happened after the Jingkang incident and why there are no more jurchens as a real political state and entity.
The Jingkang incident was the Song dynasty equivalent of the rape of Nanjing with the jurchens being the offending party. Eventually, the jurchens were destroyed by the mongols and later became the Manchu.

In fact, in the event of war, I’m personally in favour of inducting Japan as a new province of the PRC along with South Korea. If these former protectorates of imperial China don’t know what to do with their independence and would rather live on their knees as the white mans coolie, then they should be deprived of said “independence“.

I am fairly surprised to see this kind of writing from one John Walsh, whose background was a professor of physiology and neuroscience at the University of Massachusetts Chan Medical School. Very good article in my opinion. Parts in bold show the author clearly understand how terrible and tyrannical the West is and imparts that in his diction.

The UK establishment press ruefully admits defeat

The economic war is a failure. Russia has won.
This verdict comes not from a Russia-friendly source but from two well-known British publications.

“The other prong, though, has turned out to be blunt: the plan to wage economic war with Moscow, unleashing financial shock and awe on a scale never seen before. Russia was to be cut off almost entirely, with sanctions and boycotts on all imports and exports save for humanitarian ones such as medicines. Putin’s Russia, went the theory, would be impoverished into surrender.”

The brutality of the phrase “impoverished into surrender” slips so easily on to the page of this piece, because it is standard Western imperial behavior, now normalized. The article continues:

“Few people in the West are aware of how badly this aspect of the war is going. Europe has itself paid a high price to effect a partial boycott of Russian oil and gas.….

“It soon became clear that while the West was keen on an economic war, the rest of the world was not. As its oil and gas exports to Europe fell, Russia quickly upped its exports to China and India – both of which preferred to buy oil at a discount than to make a stand against the invasion of Ukraine.

“Worse, some of the Russian oil exported to India appears to have been siphoned back to Europe, with a rise in the number of ships taking refined oil from India through the Suez Canal.

“The West embarked on its sanctions war with an exaggerated sense of its own influence around the world. As we have discovered, non-Western countries lack the will [sic!] to impose sanctions on either Russia or on Russian oligarchs. The results of the miscalculation are there for all to see.

“In April last year, the IMF forecast that the Russian economy would contract by 8.5% in 2022 and by a further 2.3% this year. As it turned out, GDP fell by just 2.1% last year, and this year the IMF is forecasting a small rise of 0.7%.…

“The Russian economy has not been destroyed; it has merely been reconfigured, [reoriented] to look eastwards and southwards rather than westwards.”

The second

, this one in The Telegraph, paints an equally grim picture:

“Russia was
Please, Log in or Register to view URLs content!
. Britain’s, America’s and Europe’s gambit was that drastic trade, financial and technological sanctions, a cap on the price of Russian seaborne oil, and substantial help to Ukraine would be enough to defeat Moscow. It hasn’t worked. For all of the sacrifices of the Ukrainian people, the war has reached a stalemate, at least until Kiev’s counteroffensive.

“The reason? China has quietly stepped in, bailing out Putin’s shattered economy on a transformational scale, swapping energy and raw materials for goods and technology.

“The sanctions are a joke. Russian-Chinese trade rose 41.3% in the first four months of the year to $73 billion, financing Putin’s war. China’s exports to Russia were up 153% in April 2023 alone; their rise more than cancels out the decline in German and French trade, as Robin Brooks, of the Institute for International Finance, points out.

“China’s trade has also shot up with Belarus, Kazakhstan, Georgia and Turkey, all with easy, porous access to Russia.

“No wonder Russian society hasn’t imploded. There may no longer be any McDonald’s in Moscow, but sales of Chinese cars are buoyant. We were told Russia couldn’t survive without Western technology, but it is switching instead to China’s rival systems.”

The Telegraph article is titled, “Xi Jinping is running out of time and he knows it.” According to this view, although China (leading the rest of the Global South) was the Great Enabler allowing Russian President Vladimir Putin to pivot to the East, its time is running out. Soon China will reach its peak and start to descend, a prediction we have heard repeatedly for the last quarter-century but is yet to be realized.

In this telling Russia always comes out as a haplessly colonized nation with China as the cunning overlord. The only possibility is a win-lose outcome, which tells us more about the West’s worldview than anything else. The idea of a win-win multipolar world with respect among nations as sovereign equals is simply not in the vocabulary of the West.
Militarism and it's natural follow-on of colonialism is in fact not something dirty that China should avoid at all. That type of thinking makes the country less able to tackle external threats.

Most colonized countries love their colonizers. Why? Because you can impose total control over their elites, which will sway the dregs because the dregs in most societies have no freedoms and simply live vicariously through their elites.

Throughout Asia, the countries that have been occupied by the West will never love China - unless they've become counter occupied by China, in which case they will become the staunchest sources of support for China. To institute increased militarism, create the colonial systems, is the most efficient way to win hearts and minds. Of course, the communists do not acknowledge this, but the beauty is that eventually, their hand will be forced by the west anyways.

Authoritarianism throttles a country's growth, but liberalism throttles a country's ability to leverage strength. The west is the king of authoritarianism, able to control the minds of almost all their population and exert complete military and economic control over the formerly(currently still de facto) occupied. That also makes the west the kings of not growing economies, not inventing new things and not building better stuff. (obviously, they still produce some innovation and growth due to sheer size, but it is proportionally worse)

To confidently face the west, the status quo where China allows far too much internal criticism and pro foreign voices must be stopped. Without freedom, the country will not grow, but without authority, the country will not be able to fight.

A mixture of both systems is needed, having freedoms today is pointless if the west will invade and take them away tomorrow anyways. Instead, having a little less freedom, working towards reducing the freedom of unfriendly nations up to and including occupying them like the west does, means that in the long run, as long as the government stays true to its original vision, the controls can be slowly scaled back once the western threat is ended, resulting for more freedom not only in China, but among the colonized.
