The world isn’t silent, it has been condemned worldwide. The UN has called for ceasefires, the ICC has issued arrest warrants and people are demonstrating all over the world. Just because western media doesn’t cover it doesn’t mean it isn’t happening.

But there is little we can do short of going to war with the evil empire and its 800+ military bases scattered across the globe. All we can do is watch in horror and learn from it. Learn that it is not China, Russia, Iran or anywhere else you have been trained to dislike, that seeks to dominate the world and its resources. It is the collected gobshites that run the United States of America that are the planet’s biggest, most ruthless and most violent terrorists.

Xi will use the Victory Day celebrations to remind the world of Beijing’s claimed sovereignty over Taiwan, against which it has threatened to use force.

And the Financial Times will use the opportunity to remind the world that it is a shitty propaganda outlet by failing to acknowledge that Taiwan’s own constitution says it is an inalienable part of China, and that Beijing has stated, many times, that it will only use force if Taiwan rewrites it’s constitution to claim otherwise. Further more the article’s author knows this.

That is not a new plan, that has always been the plan.

Arguing about who said what at this stage is pointless. Did Biden halt arms sales, or did he double down on sending them? If you are trying to stop a genocide you don’t send thousands of tons of weapons to a genocidal maniac

What manufactured goods does America even make that are not for military purpose? I’m sure there must be something.

The US foreign policy goal for the last thirty odd years has been to maintain its position of sole superpower status. This means ensuring that no other state should accumulate enough economic and strategic weight to rival it.

So let’s remember, this is not just about Trump, he is just a big mouth on the front end of it. Every president before him was just as toxic, they just lied more convincingly.

But although the US has overwhelming military dominance – as we know from the Vietnam war, it doesn’t mean they would win any conflict, and its recent track record is pretty much all failure.

Assuming the aim was to win the wars rather than just destabilising/destroying the country they were fighting against.

I don’t think they are reliant on US trade anyway.

Of course they would rather trade than not trade, and losing the market would hurt, but only about 15% of China’s exports go to the US.

More like, as US funding dwindles.

The U.S. State Department on Thursday accused

Can anyone provide a trustworthy source?

Also, it is fine for the US to enable genocide, to slaughter thousands of innocent children, but wrong for anyone to try and stop it? The US government, both sides of it, is just fucking vile.

although Malaysia claims parts of the South China Sea over which Beijing has staked out near-blanket sovereignty.

Interestingly, Taiwan also claims the same “near-blanket sovereignty” over the South China Sea but western media never bothers to mention that

a war with each other that neither actually wants

When have you ever known the US to not want war?

What are tankies?

drive engagement with ragebait

That, and fear, is the goal of the entire western media industrial complex

Count up all the times he’s told the truth. Now how many fingers do you have left?

America wants control over the world’s four main “chokepoints” for sea trade.

As well as taking control of Panama, the US wants to build the Ben Gurion Canal, an alternative to the Suez Canal, running through Israel close to the Gaza strip.

It also wants control over far northern sea routes, including the “northwest passage” that runs through Canada, and the Russia-China “northeast passage” that runs near Greenland.
