After getting snub of chasing Xi for a talk in order to have a photo-ops, Trudeau still hasn't learned to be a statesman like his father. Act like a man before people take you seriously.

Doctor ‘euthanizes’ woman with pillow in (Belgium) – media​

A terminally ill Belgian woman was ‘euthanized’ by suffocation with a pillow by a doctor after lethal drugs she requested to be administered to her to voluntarily end her life proved to be insufficient, according to reports by Belgian media.

Local media outlets Sud Info and RTL reported on Wednesday that a 36-year-old woman from the Oupeye municipality in Liege opted to undergo euthanasia in March 2022, just months after being diagnosed with terminal cancer and after her condition had severely deteriorated.

The process – which is legal in Belgium – involved a doctor and two nurses visiting the home that the woman shared with her husband and young daughter to oversee the procedure. The woman’s family members left the home as they did not wish to witness the death of their loved one.

However, according to Sud Info, the process did not go as planned. When the cocktail of drugs failed to have the desired effect, the doctor allegedly used a pillow to suffocate the woman to end her life. A post mortem examination showed signs of suffocation, 7sur7 reported.

“What happened is not euthanasia,” Belgian politician and doctor Jacques Brotchi said to RTL Info. “Such a definition of this terrible situation devalues the gesture of euthanasia, which accompanies a person to the end without pain.”

It's fairly clear that Biden planned to meet Xi as part of his re-election campaign. That was why he sent those officials. He wanted to show himself meeting big world leaders and looking strong against Xi. It was the same strategy Trump played with Kim. Maybe China even played along.

However, Xi isn't interested in Biden's re-election campaign, especially since Biden continued his sanctions. Xi won't come to the G20. Xi won't come to APEC either. This is because the USA sanctioned Hong Kong's leader coming to APEC - which is illegal according to APEC rules.

Next year Biden has to visit Taiwan and sanction the C919 for his re-election. So they won't talk next year.

It looks like Xi will only physically meet with Biden once in his term or perhaps presidency.

I don't know the kind of Pinoys that think like that in the Philippines but I can tell you that some of the most virulent anti-China Filipinos are actually living outside the PH. There are a bunch of these unfortunate people in Canada that thinks so high and mighty of their PH and their non-existent military prowess that I love dunking on them in jest by simply pointing out that their country's history never once managed to actually drive out their colonizers militarily, not the Spaniards and certainly not their favorite master, the Americans. They can't even tell me their countries famous battles or famed generals, except for General Luna due to the fact that there was a movie made about that heroes life.

I also love pointing it out to them that the Philippines has the longest running struggle with actual guerilla fighters, rebel insurgency (turned terrorists per American dictat ) in all of Asia to this bleeping day. I asked some of the Filipinos that I am friends with, what are the key ingredients or important elements needed in fighting modern warfare especially against China that simply dwarfs the PH military budget, R&D, training and doctrine, navy, airforce, artillery, ISR, Rocket force, ICBMS, advanced comms, cyber capabilities offensive and defensive...Filipinos in general are highly prone to emotional reaction and don't want to think of their situation in a correct dispassionate manner, hence why their fantasy like notion of war with China is going to be super duper swell. Oh, plus America will kick the Commies butt to save the Filipinos lol
