Congratulations on the most delusional post of the year.

I couldn’t care less either way. I noticed you didn’t actually address my points directly. Too intellectual?

He’s just a bitter old man, living out his days in the 3rd world as he can’t afford to live in his home country.

To add to the above, I just saw on YT that there is now an application by the lead prosecutor of the ICC for issuance of arrest warrants for among others, Netanyahu and Gallant. Historic. The first of many dominoes to fall.

I’m not American. Why should I care who wins? Both current candidates are the bottom of the barrel. It’s just a matter of who would drag the country down faster.

In their private 40-page plan, the advisers argued that the growing threats from countries like China need to be addressed by strengthening the Armed Forces. What an idiot. The threat from a country like China is economic and technological, not military. Looks like the MIC has gotten their claws into the British government as well.

On the contrary, you and your ilk are complete American apologists. Conflict in Europe, trouble in the Middle East, tensions in Asia. Guess the common denominator. (Answer: USA) Some of you guys have your heads in such a dark place that you don’t see what’s happening all around the world. Countries and regions are dedollarising (the 10 ASEAN nations, most recently) because they just don’t trust the American government and system anymore. The USD share of national reserves have plunged from over 70% just a few years ago to about 50% currently. OPEC is starting to move away from the petrodollar. African countries in the Sahel are kicking western troops out. BRICS and SCO are expanding. All this is happening not because the world loves China but because no one trusts the US and its western vassals anymore. Stay arrogant in your hubris. One day, depending on how long you live, you might just wake up and wonder how it went so wrong.

Similarly, they have a plan to break up Russia, the old divide and conquer imperialist thinking. It is not a bad thing when a big power becomes much smaller, Estonia's Kaja Kallas has said The conflict between Moscow and Kiev should end with the defeat and breakup of the Russian Federation, Estonia's Prime Minister Kaja Kallas has said. Kallas offered the suggestion on Saturday during a debate which was part of the 17th Lennart Meri Conference in the country's capital, Tallinn, dedicated to supporting Ukraine. "Russia's defeat is not a bad thing because then you know there could really be a change in society," the prime minister argued. She argued that the Russian Federation is comprised of "many different nations" and suggested that they should become separate states after the end of the conflict between Moscow and Kiev. "I think if you would have more like small nations... it is not a bad thing if the big power is actually [made] much smaller," Kallas argued. Kawa Kallas is too insignificant to think up something like this. She probably overheard some other leaders discussing it and she’s merely repeating it to make herself appear consequential.

I don’t believe that China will invade Taiwan anytime soon. War is not good for either. Neither population wants death of its own people. It’s only the US that would love to see the Chinese killing each other. Not gonna happen. What might happen though is Chinaman killing Yankee Doodle if they come too close.

Taiwan is internationally accepted as part of China. Go spread your lies and disinformation elsewhere.

Wow. Talk about living in an alternate reality.

Perfect setup for black flag operations.

So you have your reasons and you feel that that’s good enough? How do you know that @jayceenik doesn’t have his reasons? What gives you the right to call him despicable? Rhetorical question. Just typical behaviour on this forum, ganging up on those that don’t share your views with insults.

He’s a Belgian that doesn’t support Ukraine. If that’s despicable, you’re a Russian (as you previously claimed) that doesn’t support Russia. Wonder what that makes you…

Your thought process in action again? I think you will find that those posters are mostly getting their information from American and European analysts and commentators. Not everyone believes western msm, unlike many posters here.

Says a lot about your thought process…

I don’t use an IPhone anymore and I adjust air con settings using voice control so I’m afraid I can’t answer your question. BYD as far as I know don’t actually advise what the update consists of.

Just updated my Dolphin over the air. Look what little goodie I got. Vehicle position, yay! Now my wifey can see where I am… oh wait, that’s not good, is it?

If this is your stance, I can see that we won’t get anywhere with discussing this further.

I just want to address your first point. It is widely accepted by both sides that the current Russian force of about 50,000 troops is insufficient to takeover Kharkiv, Ukraine’s 2nd biggest city. Did you honestly think that Russia attempted to takeover Kiev with just 40,000 troops? Or was it more a considered threat to bring Ukraine to the negotiating table? Which it did, incidentally.

I take it that you agree in principle but with certain caveats. The supplementaries you bring up sounds good in theory but as you well know, is a lot more complicated in real life. For eg, do you consider Cuba a sovereign country? If so, do they have the right to defend themselves? If so, do they have the right to choose their ally? I’m sure you know where I’m going with this. China will not set up a base in Cuba because this would be widely seen (although justified) as being provocative. That’s why diplomacy exists. Ukraine had a pro-Russian government prior to 2014. Was the US right to interfere in Ukraine’s internal affairs? Before you deny this, think what could be a valid reason for US state officials, notably Nuland, to be there handing out cookies? What was the FM of Lithuania, I think, Landsbergis or something like that, doing, addressing protesters in Georgia recently? Isn’t this interference, a clear violation of UN regulations?

Personally, I would love to see the US and EU completely decouple from China. I recently read somewhere that something like 40% of US exports actually rely on imported goods, a lot of which comes from China. China is the top trading partner for over 120 countries worldwide. In an all out trade war, China will suffer less than the U.S. But sadly, the Chinese government is very patient and farsighted. They know that the current trajectory will slowly but surely chip away at the US hegemony without causing themselves too much pain. They dumped 53 billion dollars of bonds in the 1st quarter of 2024, the highest ever. If I was more cynical, I would think that the Chinese government is actually playing the game of death by a thousand cuts with the collective west.

I have it on good authority that China is exporting hundreds of thousands of the latest, most technologically advanced dual use shovels to Russia. It has a brand new design, ergonomic handles and reinforced steel shafts to minimise bending when hit on a hard object, like a helmet. When asked, the spokesman said, we are only one minor, inconsequential country supplying our latest innovation to our partner whilst there are over 40 countries supplying theirs to the other side.

I woke up to a wet and overcast morning but the sun immediately broke through the clouds when I saw this post. Alas, it’s overcast again. ‘‘Twas but a lie. I should have guessed.

It’s hole, not whole. Guess English isn’t your first language after all.
