South Korea and Japan let Anglo American soldiers rape their women and the Anglo’s still won’t fight China? Thats how you know these nations are fit only as vassals, never a hegemon. Interesting note, during the civil war and war against Japanese aggression, the PLA were distinguished from the Nationalists and the IJA in not raping the civilians wherever they went, and in fact helped the people and empowered victims of sexual violence.

it was obvious a racist farquaard like pompeo would use Joshua Wong and jimmy lai and then not lift a finger to support them. Sorry, pal, you’re just not Caucasian enough and the world the five eyes wants sees non whites as “human livestock“ or “goyim” as the Jews say.

I disagree. The anglos were already facing large scale anti-colonialism efforts from multiple colonies during that time. The Sino-Soviet Split was already underway and the global embargo on China didn't end until 1972. Nixon would still need to court China in order to put pressure on the Soviets. HK meant nothing to them at that time.

The Brits lacked the means, while the Yankees lacked the will to resist a PLA liberation.
You are suggesting that China take the Goa route
Usually the right answer is do the opposite of India

They may try to start something in the SCS or Taiwan.
They won't. The way US works is that they show their strength, this gives their vassals in the Asia Pacific the idea that they have the full backing of US military. Thinking that, they try to make gains against China because they think that with the US on their side, China will back down from challenging them.

When China responds, the vassals will come crying to daddy US to cover them. Daddy US will simple say "did I ever say that I wanted you to provoke China? I simple sent my biggest naval forces in the area for the sailors to enjoy the Asia Pacific seas!". Then the US will start mobilizing its propaganda machine to promote the "China theory" to the rest of the world

Very nice summary and spot on bro, The American will not fight China for Taiwan cause they know they can't win and a possible lost of prestige if the Chinese sunk all 5 carriers in the Pacific area. Plus they know the Chinese will not invade Taiwan or even destroyed it unless the DPP declare independence which they won't knowing the consequence it entails.

So its a game, the one who had a short-tempered lose as the American are betting that the Chinese will take the bait, this game of chicken will persist until 2026 when the Chinese had overcome its vulnerability especially in semiconductor and aircraft engine. I predict this gamesmanship will end in 2028 when the Chinese had reach its Comprehensive National Power and the US will accept China as a peer competitor, they may even negotiate the peaceful return of Taiwan for some monetary compensation, as they had nothing to loose and everything to gain, an act practiced by a Mafia Don.

It mentions Tesla trying to develop a cheaper EV by 2025. Not sure how it's going to do it. Tesla's are pretty bare bones as is.

Anyway, this is another one of those "enlightened-but-actually-not", self soothing western articles.
Making EVs cheaply is Tesla's major strength, almost always overlooked because it's quite boring.
As you said, they are barebones, not even a separate screen for the driver.
Why they are trying so hard to replace lidar and radar with software is because the variable cost of software is zero. Even saving like $100 per car is going to be billions after a few years.

This is also possibly their weakness in the long term. The interior of the car looks like it's from those $10,000 JAC EVs YouTubers drive in Mexico for their "THE AFFORDABLE EVS FROM CHINA JUST ACROSS THE BORDER" videos

Defense Minister Subianto leads in early, unofficial counts of Indonesia’s presidential race​


There is a possibility Indonesia will be the next Philippine for China.
From what I can see Subianto is pro-China.

  • Defence minister Prabowo calls for a ‘rebalancing’ whereby Indonesia should learn from countries including China and India rather than continue looking to the West
  • The presidential hopeful also claims the EU does not ‘love’ Indonesia given the ‘unfair’ treatment of the country’s products, such as palm oil, in European markets
A lot of the western media are branding him as an authoritarian pro-China person with a history of human rights abuses.

Any idea what this is about... Zircon strike ?
Rumors have emerged of a possible military threat from Russia in space. Maybe some other ASAT weapon, FOBS or even this here:

Just remembering that on February 9, 2024, Mission Cosmos-2575 was launched by Roscosmos using a Soyuz-2 rocket carrying an "Unknown Payload into Space for the Ministry of Defense of Russia". This may be one of the reasons for the American panic.
