To call Zelenskyy “President Putin” at that critical moment was offensive and totally unacceptable.
I think it was funnier

Holy brainrot
A right wing nationalist movement of the past that supported a monarchy
You have no clue what you’re talking about. The monarchy was already leading, and the movement was aimed at combating the brutal imperialist exploitation of China, so was objectively progressive. Nationalism can be both a good (progressive) and bad (regressive) thing depending on the situation (development of the nation, relationship with other countries, etc.). Using right-wing in this sense is strange, because we could argue numerous historically progressive movements were “right wing” by today’s standards, it means nothing.
A corporate-controlled genocidal fascist who’s incapable of speaking is the ideal leader under liberalism. Saying mean things destroys democracyTM.
Can you actually explain the difference between the options and reconcile the fact that Hillary and the DNC purposefully elevated Trump behind the scenes (entire “lesser evil” rationale is a farce)? Thx!
And yet, still the largest source of methane emission.
They also have the largest population. Per-capita they are not the largest source. It’s ridiculous to evaluate countries’ outputs without regard for the size of their populations.
As a product they can sell. Let’s not pretend like this has some altruistic motivation.
That’s true, and yet they also chose to massively subsidize their solar industry in order to meet climate goals.
Where is “the bad shit that China has done?” You still haven’t said anything about this.
Can you also see the bullet heading towards you?
In late October, Israel signed on to a joint statement of concern with more than 50 other governments about alleged Chinese crimes against humanity in its predominantly Muslim Xinjiang region.
LMAO
China is fundamentally opposed to any Israeli military operations, even in self-defense
No such thing?
This article is genuinely terrible. They knew they couldn’t put “In the South China Sea, China has begun to invade,” so they put “Xi” instead. China’s claims to the South China Sea have been shown to be evidentially indisputable (A.S. Wood (U.S. captain), Historically Mine), internationally coming down to the semantics of description and politics. This is not to say China should have sole control over the South-China Sea, rather, China is not “encroaching” on land which is provably foreign in any way beyond political bias.
Just recently Beijing manoeuvred 12 ships (three of which were warships) to within four nautical miles of Taiwan. The United Nations Convention of the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS) has a clear list on what you can do inside someone else’s territorial waters (less than 12 nautical miles off the coast), and this isn’t on it.
Weird, I was under the impression that the United Nations "[considers] ‘Taiwan’ as a province of China with no separate status,” that they hold that “authorities in ‘Taipei’ are not considered to… enjoy any form of government status,” and that they “[consider] ‘Taiwan’ for all purposes to be an integral part of the People’s Republic of China.” (United Nations Judicial Yearbook, 2010, pages 516 & 540).
This most recent surge in activity is likely a show of force before Taiwan’s presidential inauguration on 20 May, but more broadly it achieves five things. It demonstrates ‘tough leadership’ to the people of China, something that is important to all dictatorships.
Taiwan’s presidential election? Do you mean the election of the President of the Republic of China? No, that would require reassessing this entire narrative spewn. And this idiot thinks that, since the PRC is a designated enemy, he can just say that it’s a dictatorship with no source or elaboration (he can, because The Telegraph publishes garbage).
In this regard, the annual Balikatan training exercise has come at a good time. This started as a small navy-to-navy drill during the Cold War but has gradually grown to become the premier military exercise between the US and the Philippines with 16,000 military participants in total, 11,000 from the US. Australia also contributed and this year, for the first time, so did France.
Lt. Gen. William Jurney, US Marine Corps Forces Pacific commander said: “Balikatan is a tangible demonstration of our shared commitment to each other. It matters for regional peace and stability. When we increase our mutual response and defense capabilities, we strengthen our ability to promote regional security and protect our shared interests”.
Finally, the US with military bases all over Asia, the US that orchestrated a coup and massacre in the mentioned non-aligned Indonesia to control its affairs, the US that carpet-bombed the mentioned Vietnam and killed millions in an attempt to exert control, this beacon of freedom and non-interference can stand up to China’s “aggression” out of the goodness of its heart. And Australia as well! The US’s little lapdog whose only leader that attempted to achieve independence from US control was couped so that they too can get a good taste of TSA patdowns.
One of the first lines in Firstpost’s article is:
Zhan, who was convicted and sentenced in December 2020, will be released on Monday, according to The Guardian.
The article from The Guardian says she’ll be released on May 13, and quotes HRW and Amnesty Int. directors. It was released about an hour and a half before Firstpost’s article, and the latter plagiarizes the misleading summary of her charge from them:
The Guardian:
Zhang was arrested in May 2020 and later sentenced to four years in prison for “picking quarrels and provoking trouble”, a charge often used against activists.
Firstpost:
In December 2020, Zhan was sentenced to four years in jail for the offence of “picking quarrels and provoking trouble”. Activists in China are often convicted under this offence.
Such a garbage propaganda article, and with multiple spelling and grammar mistakes. Zhang Zhan is an anti-CPC agitator who participated in the Hong Kong color revolution; during her 2020 COVID reporting, she got interviews from two overseas media outlets: Radio Free Asia (CIA mouthpiece for propaganda against China and the DPRK mainly) and The Epoch Times (far-right Falun Gong cult mouthpiece). Such an “independent citizen journalist”!
She reported misleading things about the pandemic (as proven in trial, contrary to claims by NGOs and the article you shared that she was sentenced to prison for nebulous reasons), and both argued that the pandemic was worse than the government had reported and that lockdown measures were too restrictive (obviously a very principled person and not just a contrarian hoping to squeeze into the cracks of any differences of opinion to oppose the Chinese govt.).
The same Palestinian Authority that arrests people for the Israeli government in the West Bank.
Just sorting the comm by new, of the 18 posts on the first page (not counting the pin), 7 deal with Palestine, including both news of the situation and of protests against the genocide. The sub consistently features posts on the conflict between Ukraine and Russia, and yet, you don’t care. You want anything other than Palestine spammed? Why? It’s an ongoing genocide and also the topic of mass protests in the US. If you don’t care about world news then block the comm.
Step 1: Support terrorism in China to provoke the government into an extreme military response that can be leaped on to delegitimize the PRC and their commitment to peace, as was done with the USSR and Mujahideen in Afghanistan
Step 2: When China doesn’t bomb anyone and handles the situation through education, claim they’re committing genocide anyways
I have bad news about the USA.
