If California secedes from the US, and the US military is posed to bring it back into the fold of the United States, will China intervene militarily if the US attacks California?

China’s Imminent Invasion of Taiwan: A Global Catastrophe in the Making The US's Imminent Invasion of California: A Global Catastrophe in the Making Both headlines are equally dumb. California is a state within the United States; Taiwan is an island that is part of the country of China. Here is the United States official policy on China: "The United States’ approach to Taiwan has remained consistent across decades and administrations. The United States has a longstanding one China policy, which is guided by the Taiwan Relations Act, the three Joint Communiques, and the Six Assurances." https://www.state.gov/u-s-relations-with-taiwan/ Nothing has changed other that the main-stream media's Neo-Con hyperbole and war-hawk-speak.

Casinos by the wealthy, for the wealthy. No doubt the Thai vice squads will be doubling down on enforcing gambling bans and busting the participants of village cock fights while the Thai elite spin the roulette wheel, and wile the night away playing Baccarat and sipping Glenlivet Winchester 50 year old Scotch into the wee hours of the morning as commoners are busted for drinking Kao Lao after hours.

Let see. History lesson: Ngo Dinh Diem, Rafael Trujillo, Patrice Lumumba, Salvador Allende... Up Next: Volodymyr Oleksandrovych Zelenskyy? Speaker Johnson Says ‘Someone Else Needs to Lead’ Ukraine If Zelensky Doesn’t ‘Come to His Senses’ https://time.com/7263411/zelensky-future-trump-oval-office-fallout-johnson-comments/ To be an enemy of America can be dangerous, but to be a friend is fatal. -Former Sec State Henry A. Kissinger

Well, one of the morons could decide to launch a nuclear weapon with the thought that "the commoners" don't matter, and hell, the elite have government built nuclear bunkers. Maybe.

They both may be a dumb as a box of rocks, but one's a billionaire and the other is the US VP and probably on the road to the US presidency. Vance graduated from Ohio State summa cum laude before attending Yale. And you? OP - how have you distinguish yourself other than being a progressive liberal expat Trump-hater whose only recourse to the Trump victory gaining the US presidency and sea-change in the US political landscape is to posit the opinion that Trump and Vance have low IQ? Nice - so you broke out your copy of Rules For Radicals. Let's see, here it is, Rule 5. 5. "Ridicule is man's most potent weapon. There is no defense. It is almost impossible to counterattack ridicule. Also it infuriates the opposition, who then react to your advantage." Nice try Einstein!

Really, how do you take a guy who plays the piano with his d**k seriously?

That's a wee bit date: January 22-23, 2020 WEF meeting in Davos.

From the time the authorities said, "Nothing to see hear," you can bet that there is "Something to see there."

Let me summarize: * Uyghurs come to Thailand as asylum seekers. * Thailand doesn't accept asylum seekers. * Uyghurs become "guests" of Thailand while in asylum limbo. * The International community knows of the Uyghurs refugees plight, and criticizes Thailand. * None of the nations criticizing Thailand offers to grant the Uyghurs asylum. * Uyghurs write letters to the UN and International organizations. * The International community knows of the Uyghurs refugees plight, and continues to criticizes Thailand. * Still none of the nations criticizing Thailand offers to grant the Uyghurs asylum. * Thailand finally deports/repatriates Uyghurs because - they don't accept asylum seekers. * Members of the International community melt down and continue to criticize Thailand while ignoring that their own countries never offered them asylum. * The US and Japan warn ex-pat citizens of potential violent repercussions for the Uyghur repatriation. 🤔 Inquiring minds wonder why the US or Japan didn't offer the Uyghurs asylum and "lead by example." 🤔 Inquiring minds think it has to do with NIMBY. (Not In My Back Yard) "National Security Risk!" * Thailand becomes the focus of unending criticism.

Then it's no wonder that the season season of Taboo never gets made. 🤔

It's interesting to see where the Russia-hating Right meets the Russia-hating Left. Russian-Hating Left 👉 "Is Trump a Russian Asset, Controlled by Putin" 👈 Russia-Hating Right Yes! Yes!

So it's easy to understand why Thailand doesn't want to keep Uyghur "asylum seekers." Violence follows. And why would anyone would want to seek asylum in a country that makes it know internationally that it doesn't want "asylum seekers."

It's good to know that the European "elite" know how to copy and paste. However, originality seems to be a bridge too far. Well, can't accuse them of being the sharpest tacks in the box, just the most vile.

But but but - you conveniently left off the part about the New and Improved Ukraine ala F***-The-EU Nuland which began killing the Russian speakers in the Donbass. Hell, even CNN got it right in 2014.

Is that you Grok 3?

Trump patted him on the head, gave him a biscuit, and showed him the door.

As did Ben Sanderson.

I don't distract myself, Au-contraire, I focus inward and watch the reality of consciousness unfold. Hence, I've no angst.

Are you that stupid? Must be. I'm anti-war. And unlike you I'm a US veteran with 8 years of service. Back when the Soviets were actually a threat. Russian today is not a threat. But you're another Russian hater so don't miss your chances to go kill Ivan for your God Zelensky. Here's your chance Adolf. Go push the Ruskies back to Moscow.

But no. These people who complain the loudest and hate Russians the most just want to sit in their computer chairs here in Thailand, drink beer, and urge Western politician to send Ukrainian, European, British, and America men to go fight in Ukraine. Send everyone else kids and grandkids except their own or themselves. These people are all hot-air and cowardliness. The only people who need to feel shame are these hate-filled, pro-war, wind-bags.

As far as I'm concerned every member on this forum who hates Russians and wants war needs to get off their butts, sign up to go to Ukraine, and put their butts where their mouths are - on the Ukrainian Eastern Front. Go get a rifle and kit and go kill Russians for your hero Zelensky. Here, let me help ya'll on your way. There you go. Go show Putin whose boss!

"'All Ukraine war supporters should give up citizenship and go fight in Ukraine. Starting with the politicians'" -Australian Senator Babet I agree 100%.

Scott Jennings during a CNN segment. "All Zelensky needed to do was to wear a tie, show up, smile, express gratitude, sign the necessary documents, and have lunch." That's about right. Instead we have the war-mongers on the Left screaming about how Trump disrespected the Ukrainian comedian in green-black fatigues. Well, it seems we will have to have a disagreement about who disrespected whom. And as Trump stated, Zelensky has no cards to play. Trump and the US hold all the cards. Zelensky is just a moron.

Good. It's time to clean up the US corruption.
