So the Brits flew their spy plane over Russian airspace while at the same time sending a request to allow them to do it. Russia should have shot that plane down.
Is there such a thing as cultural autism? This, along with trump sanctioning china and telling China not to sanction the US has me wondering…
Why do India acts like it's a superpower that needs nor be offended by her neighboring country like China. Sri Lanka isn't a vassal country of any country. Yet, these same India was trying to pin prick China's One China policy with regards to Taiwan and even sent their navy in the South China Sea last year to "exercise" with some ASEAN countries to provide protection lol

India is keen to be a volunteer to be at the front of the line against China's military.

modern india is really a child of the British Raj, and given that so many Indian elites send their kids to British boarding schools and America as well, indian foreign policy Appears as wannabe British empire.
Plus the arrogance and sense of entitlement due to a belief in simply being “reincarnated“ into an upper caste level.

This aint the glory days of Korean Air 007 where the CIA shadows a spyplane behind a Boeing 747 then when USSR shoots it down for having barely flown into their airspace gets blamed on the pilot forgetting to switch from magnetic to true north...

These days it seems like no one is keen on shooting anything down anymore

When the body was first created, all the parts wanted to be Boss. The brain said, "I should be Boss because I control all of the body's responses and functions."

The feet said, "We should be Boss since we carry the brain about and get him to where he wants to go."

The hands said, "We should be the Boss because we do all the work and earn all the money."

Finally, the asshole spoke up. All the parts laughed at the idea of the asshole being the Boss. So, the asshole went on strike, blocked itself up and refused to work.

Within a short time, the eyes became crossed, the hands clenched, the feet twitched, the heart and lungs began to panic, and the brain fevered. Eventually, they all decided that the asshole should be the Boss, so the motion was passed. All the other parts did all the work while the Boss just sat and passed out the shit!
This is probably the funniest but ironically true statement I have read in a while in this forum. Haha

Bear in mind Morrison is a member of Hillsong, a fundamentalist christian cult which is of course going to have a hard on for hating China; for someone who portrays himself as a bumbling idiot to eschew responsibility, looks like he was a control freak which made him the ideal candidate for the "wolverines" and steve bannon followers.
Hillsong is a fundamentalist Christian Cult? Any evidence to back this up.

What are you even talking about. Also why are you talking about Trump. It’s 2022. Not 2018. Do you know who the current US president is anyway?
I’m saying that Anglo societies, coming from puritanical religious societies, always assume a holier than thou, political narcissism that I generously termed as being autistic as opposed to the more realistic term of them being vindictive cowardly assholes who fear retribution. In recent years, this has been aggravated by the expulsion of the school of realism in favour of demagoguery and magical thinking

Since when was there human rights in Scandinavia
The better question is, since when wasn't the West genocidal? When the Chinese fleet sailed to Africa and the Southeast Asia during the Ming dynasty, they brought friendship and trade. When the Westerners reached the Americas, they brought genocide. WW1 and WW2, which was fought mainly among Western nations, killed upwards to 100 million people and wiped out 60% of the Jewish population in Europe. The U.S. killed 20% of the Korean population with indiscriminate bombing during the Korea War. The U.S. arguably killed 20 million people in its post-WW2 wars and killed 500,000 Iraq children with its sanctions.

Uncle Chang doesn't know that unlike the debt slaves in the U.S. who have no one to turn to during a recession, the Chinese have amble personal savings to help them navigate through any downturn. BTW, if unemployment is high among young people, then China won't have labor shortage or any demographic crisis anytime soon.
