@D162Michele Actually the US State Dept is very fearful of Americans visiting China on holiday. The more Americans see for themselves what China is really like on the ground, the propaganda & smears fall apart. Billions of $ of propaganda undone by a 5day vacation. Hence the fear-mongering.
@AngelicaOung 2/2 is harder and harder to cover-up. Putin will be wise to resist any deviation from the long-held goals of the SMO. A peace treaty and a new security architecture in Europe with all sides fully represented. Europe is on life-support, Ukraine is already a corpse. The US wins.
@AngelicaOung The kill ratio between the two sides in the last 2yrs is closer to 12-14 Ukrainians for every 1 Russian. This is the result of attritional warfare. And why Russia persists with this tactic. We're seeing the US and EU pushing to bring the war to an end now, becos Ukr collapse 1/2
@NotHoodlum Good that you have the freedom to excoriate scum like Kushner. Sadly, ppl like that is what yr system throws up. You're living it now. And millions of Serbs in 99, millions of Iraqis in '03-12, millions of Libyan in 2010-now, millions of Syrians 2011-now, millions of Ukrainians.
@OopsGuess 2/2.. agitators. CIA, MI6, Mossad are experts at using tactics like this. This is a weakness of the Chinese. Public opinion can be manipulated (even with a firewall) to cause tension in society, pushing the Govt to use strong means to clamp down, which is spun as authoritarian.
@OopsGuess This shows how effective and dangerous it is for a coordinated vocal anonymous minority to find points of vile agitation, stir up anger on either or both sides, and spread hate. Chinese netizens often lack perspective, are quick to lash out. They unwittingly become pawns of 1/2
“Do you condemn Hamas”
The answer in this 13 yr old clip to that question hasn't aged for a second. A very good reply, just as good now as back then. 👍
Hanging out with .@guychristensen_ at my place in Chongqing. 3.6 million followers. Eight years building one of the most prominent pro-Palestinian platforms on the planet. Gone overnight.
Following the forced sale of TikTok’s US operations, the new owners wasted no time retroactively digging through his archives, culling content posted years before the acquisition. Yesterday, they permanently banned the channel.
The justification is pure farce. One of the "strikes" was a video on Italian port workers striking over weapons shipments to Israel, a post .@tiktok_us had already suspended, appealed, reviewed, and fully cleared. Another was a completely benign video from 2023, suddenly flagged last week. A channel built over nearly a decade wiped out by content their own system previously greenlit.
This is the "free speech" guaranteed by American ownership. Put Larry Ellison, a major private funder of the IDF, in control of moderation, and this is what happens.
Barack Obama is trying to present himself as morally concerned about Palestinian suffering while avoiding responsibility for his own presidential record!
Obama should be judged not only by what he says about injustice now, but also by what he did—or failed to do—when he had the power to influence events! #TruthJusticeLove @kbla1580@tavissmiley
@CornelWest The most pretentious cowarfly President in US history by some distance. All US Presidents are mass-murder ears, but Obama work the hardest to deny his role in his share of killings. Unfortunately for him, ppl are keeping score.
🚨🇺🇦🇺🇸 Dieser ganz bestimmte Moment, als Victoria Nuland im Jahr 2016 vor dem US-Kongress damit prahlte, wie gründlich Washington die Ukraine nach dem Putsch von 2014 unter seine Kontrolle gebracht hatte.
Sie legte alles ohne Scham offen dar:
🔴US-Agenten, die in einem Dutzend ukrainischer Ministerien eingeschleust waren.
🔴Von den USA ausgebildete Polizisten, die in 18 Städten patrouillieren.
🔴Das US-Finanzministerium, das 60 ukrainische Banken ausplünderte, dabei aber die Einleger verschonte, um die Bevölkerung ruhig zu halten.
🔴Hunderte Millionen Dollar flossen in den Aufbau des ukrainischen Militärs.
Lassen wir den ganzen Quatsch beiseite – das war keine „Hilfe“, sondern eine als Hilfe getarnte Machtübernahme.
„Unprovoziert“
@AlternatNews Only Europeans can be so feckless and moronic to tolerate this unelected treasonous bureaucrat to grandstand and hijack EU policy for so many years. Lie after lie after lie, gaslighting the European public endlessly.
@Ignis_Rex I agree. But they are compromised by their incessant need for Bharat Greatness and National pride.
Also, India's strategy is to leverage the US against China. The price is to join the 'containment of China' project, which their historical animosity to China also align.
@Ignis_Rex 2/2 Capabilities are far from credible, but it does SIGNAL India's intent.
Operation Sindoor was a wake up call, but I doubt they'll really wake up. India militarily won't amount to much. Pakistan is already their match.
Economically, their highly stratified society is a burden.
@Ignis_Rex What if this is a coordinated strategy with the US. A 2nd or 3rd front should conflict arise in East Asia, over Taiwan, SCS and the Yellow Sea. India doesn't value its ppl, it has 1.47b. Also, Modi has been modernizing his Navy, with carriers equipped with Rafales.

@AngelicaOung First, Zelensky will hv to pay for the 1.6mil Ukrainian lives lost in the 4yrs of this most unnecessary of wars. There can be no excuse.
I've seen it written, Forgiveness is left to God, sending ppl like Zelensky to Him, is something ppl here on Earth can help with.
@ProudSocialist Problem is, this has been the case for the better part of 70yrs. It is in the DNA of the system to constantly, irreversibly, relentlessly seek war and domination.
It has shown it cannot be reasoned with, cannot be reformed from within. It has to be ended.
@BozosSilvu5509@MothershipSG Sadly, yr Linguistic abilities are incapable of recognising both irony & mirth, perhaps typical of blow hards. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, incl Sharon. We can make fun of that, but who are you to tell ppl where they can/cannot go. Who died and made you boss?
