China, Oman, Palestine diplomatic missions attacked in Sudan

TEHRAN, Jun 07 (MNA) – Rapid Support Forces attacked the embassies of China and Palestine and the house of the Omani ambassador in Khartoum, the Sudanese Foreign Ministry announced, calling on the international community to condemn the action.

Sudanese Foreign Ministry also described the attack as a blatant violation of international law regarding the immunity of diplomatic centers.

According to Middle East Monitor, the Palestinian Authority Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates condemned on Tuesday the storming of the Embassy of Palestine and the ambassador's residence in the Sudanese capital, Khartoum.

The ministry said that this is at least the fourth such incident since the start of the fighting between the Sudanese Armed Forces and the Rapid Support Forces in April.

"These groups break down doors, vandalize belongings and beat local employees and embassy staff," said the ministry. "In addition, they steal funds that belong to the embassy."

Such incursions and infringements, it added, are a grave violation of the sovereignty of the State of Palestine, an attack on its official representative, and a flagrant violation of the Vienna Convention. The PA said that it will take all necessary legal steps to protect the embassy and its employees, as well as the ambassador's residence.

We knew this would be a problem but didn't imagine TSMC would fail this badly.

Instead of admitting their fundamental mistake of building in the US, all they do is mock their own workers and make things worse.

“TSMC is about obedience." Chairman Mark Liu (劉德音) had a blunt message for the company’s dissatisfied U.S. employees. "Those who are unwilling to be on duty should not be in this industry.”

IDK about China and Omen but reportedly the Palestine FM posted a statement while saying this is their 4th attack. The Saudi Embassy was also stormed and their FM posted a statement. It seems like it may be true. Anyway, Sudan likely steaming towards a full civil war.

TSMC Arizona is absolutely fucked. The Taiwanese business model is not suitable for the US, shit it is barely suitable for China itself. Taiwanese business model is built on Imperial Japanese style military discipline and absolute obedience with 0 innovation allowed from the employees. Only a small subset of employees are allowed to innovate. This is why Taiwanese companies are good at producing no name generic products but has no real brands of its own.

This is in stark contrast to Chinese companies which are built around employee level entrepreneurship and innovation. This fact is even admitted by elite US business schools. This is also why Chinese companies are heavy on branding and IP.

There's an ongoing wildfires engulfing all over Canadian forests and parks. From the west coast to the east coast province of Nova Scotia. These wildfires have made the air quality very bad to the point that Environment Canada has issued warnings to the public. The severity of the wildfires and its effects has even reached and affected NYC and other Eastern U.S. States.

I wonder, if all the derisking that countries in the west like Canada has been pushing for, what would happen to the "pristine air quality" that they're oh so proud to batter China over with. I mean, I remember the complaints and the environmental issues caused by the steel industry in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. This is a commentary but as unfortunate this news is to everyone that lives in Canada including some of our fellow SDF members I just can't help but chuckle from the sheer hypocrisy and fragility of the folks here and elsewhere. Let's see how this country will handle the commodities needed to produce those "strategic rare earths" and other metals needed for the renewable sources of energy. Would their cities be smog, pollution free as well with a fraction of most Chinese major cities? Hmm...
It's quite bad over in the east. Even through an KN95, its reminiscence of a very heavily incensed temple and actually throat-hurting if you don't wear a mask. Got to see orange skies and a red sun & moon though.

‘He should be burned’: Afghans call for justice against Australian war criminal​

Former special forces officer Ben Roberts-Smith lost a defamation case against three publications accusing him of war crimes while deployed in Afghanistan. The courts ruled that reports of him killing unarmed Afghan prisoners and civilians were "substantially true".
One specific example of a war crime detailed in the Brereton Report involves an incident in which an Australian special forces soldier shot an unarmed Afghan man in the head in his home in 2012. The soldier, who is not named in the report, allegedly entered the man's home during a raid and found him hiding under a bed. The soldier then allegedly shot the man in the head, and later placed a pistol next to his body to make it appear as if he had been killed in self-defense.

The incident was reportedly witnessed by other Australian soldiers, who did not report it at the time. The soldier who allegedly committed the killing is said to have later boasted about it to other soldiers, saying that he had "just broken the Geneva Convention".

If the people of Europe do not want to be suckers and die in a war with China started by the Americans, why does the Colby guy believes the Asians will naturally want to volunteer to be suckers and die in a war with China that was started by the Americans?

That in a nutshell why this American decline in influence across the globe has not hit a bottom yet.

US to link up with Taiwan and Japan drone fleets to share real-time data​

Military co-ordination with Taipei is ‘taboo’ issue for China, analysts said
The US, Taiwan and Japan are to share real-time data from naval reconnaissance drones, according to four people familiar with the project, demonstrating Washington’s push to strengthen co-ordination in the event of a Chinese attack on Taiwan.
US defence contractor General Atomics is due to deliver four MQ-9B Sea Guardian drones to Taipei beginning in 2025. The maritime variant of the Reaper drone that the US Air Force widely used in Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya and Syria, it can find, track and target enemy ships and radars.
Four people familiar with the MQ-9 sale said Washington would allow the aircraft to be integrated into the same system that US forces in the region and the Japanese Self-Defense Force will use.
This would allow the US and its allies and partners to observe the same information gathered simultaneously by the unmanned aerial vehicles — a set-up referred to as a common operational picture.

“We will be taking a practical approach towards ensuring that integration is done as quickly as possible,” said one person briefed on the project.
