So last week Rubio was bitching about how Brazil is ditching USD, now he is bitching about France. Next week when Lula meets Xi he'll bitch about Brazil some more, and when Argentina joins the China wagon he'll no doubt start bitch about that. That got me thinking? Should we create a "Victims of World Cup Champions" fund?

US Senator Lindsey Graham has proposed blocking oil supplies from the Middle East to China if the authorities decide to blockade Taiwan.

“I fear that China may set the stage for a blockade of Taiwan in the coming months or weeks. We must respond strongly if they do so. We will need to block all shipping from the Middle East to China. Let them know if you block Taiwan, we will cut off oil supplies”Graham said in an interview with Fox News.

Looks like the US is moving to force the Taiwan issue now that their decline is becoming obvious. The logic being that, in order for the hegemon to retain its position at the top of the pyramid, it must make a show of force to would be "traitors" like Brazil, Saudi Arabia, Mexico, and France that their patron, China, cannot stand against the "might" of the US.

We may be moving towards a great war whether we like it or not. These are signals that the US deep state is becoming desperate. And desperate men do dangerous things.

Is he volunteering for combat? If he is too old and infirm, maybe someone in his family could go in his stead? I would gladly go camping for 30 years if he or his family agrees to storm of the beaches of Hualien while recorded by livestream.

Macron weakens deterrence against Chinese aggression and undermines U.S. support for Europe.
Any Europeans worth their salt should understand that the US, which blew up Europe's NS pipeline, is not their real friend.

It's really arrogant to claim that French scholars know more about China than Chinese.

"Wolf-warrior diplomacy" is a hollow accusation.

Syria will rejoin the Arab League soon.

The CIA has a long history of using controlled leaks and disinformation to mislead "conspiracy theorists" and to undermine the legitimacy of the opposition. I'm unsure of what could be the purpose of this leak, however. Maybe leak part 2 will have the actual disinfo?

"Japan will consider government adoption of artificial intelligence technology such as OpenAI’s ChatGPT chatbot if privacy and cybersecurity concerns are resolved," Chief Cabinet Secretary Hirokazu Matsuno said on Monday.

The remarks from Matsuno, the top government spokesperson, came shortly before Sam Altman, chief executive of OpenAI, met Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida during a visit to Japan, where Altman said his company is “looking at opening an office.”

"Japan will continue evaluating possibilities of introducing AI to reduce government workers’ workload after assessing how to respond to concerns such as data breaches," Matsuno said.

The talks between Kishida and Altman came as many countries have been stepping up regulations on the use of ChatGPT over suspicions that OpenAI illegally gathers vast amounts of personal data from its users.

Japan, WTF?
Japan is like one of the Girlfriends 7 (G7) in cult followings who never left instead, fall into deeper love and now having cult leader babies.
