Xi would be a moron if he considers the average taiwanese to be an enemy, but taiwanense or western politicians "provoking an independence move" of Taiwan is a questionable statement. Taiwan is not recognised as a sovereign state by the majority of nations, yet it retains its own government...

Time will tell.

And that sphere extends from where to where? You honestly believe that the CCP, especially under Xi, doesn't wish to reintegrate the "renegade province" by military means once it's possible to do so? What Russia thought about Ukraine too, it's rather ridiculous to assume that an operation like...

Chinese blunders concerning India and the SCS should not be underestimated in the long run. These seeds of distrust they sowed in their critical neighbourhoods probably will lead to enormous and far reaching consequences that Beijing doesn't seem to see. At least Xi doesn't seem to see the...

The plateau and Himalayas pose a virtually insurmountable barrier for any offensive from either the indian or chinese side, but in the case of war(lets say China against the Quad), a vast contingent of troops to secure the frontier would still have to be deployed. Any advance into Tibet and a...

It's actually funny to observe him in real time how he has to rack his brain for these bad excuses without any substance

UK poised to introduce Bill dismantling Northern Ireland protocol The British government is poised to press ahead with legislation that would override key parts of the Brexit divorce agreement that covers trading rules for Northern Ireland. The UK’s secretary of state for Northern Ireland...

Spurred by Russian threat, Germany okays $100 billion fund to beef up army Move will push Berlin to meet NATO defense spending target after years of criticism, and transform neglected Bundeswehr into Europe’s largest military By AFP and AP3 June 2022, 10:01 pm German soldiers walk beside tank...

When you see the enormous death toll of the second congo war, you really have to put these into perspective with civil wars elsewhere happening for a similarly long time or simultaneously.

It's not just that a war between two nuclear powers is unlikely, China sees the immense benefit of keeping the border with Russia calm and stable. They don't want to go back to the cold war days and the military standoff between them. They need to focus their resources towards the Pacific, SCS...

Just speaking from my experience here, generally you'll be invited for coffee/tea and something to go along with that, e.g. biscuits, cake or the very popular "Reindling" in southern Austria. But partaking in lunch or dinner with the rest of the family is uncommon, though getting invited to sit...

Back then I wasn't even an idea yet, oh what a glorious time for the world that was haha What were the reactions then? Do you still remember yours?

Samm's back @Nilgiri

Keep the discussion civil and on point, ad hominem insults are not allowed.

Going to keep an eye out for updates on this, thanks for telling me! Do they ever?
