@D162Michele The imperialists will always deny their atrocities like the United States, Israel and of course, utter 🇺🇲 vassals like Japan.

[jonathan foo @jonfoo1]

Stop lying or say things out of your ignorance. There was never no none formal apology, not even once. No reparations of course, given their refusal to acknowledge any war crimes. @CGTNOfficial @ChannelNewsAsia @car

[Zangief @Zangief_B]

@D162Michele Japan has apologized so many times there's an entire Wikipedia page dedicated to listing the events.

And paid reparations.

None of it matters, because of Chinese and Korean nationalism.

[David Anon @DavidAnon8]

@D162Michele First they said China made it up, then they said the US made it up. The whole world made up Japan's war crimes...according to the country that committed the war crimes.

@D162Michele When I was a kid I visited a man called Dave. He had been a POW of the Japanese fascists. He was starved and tortured by them - and he was white English. He definitely didn’t make it up…

[Michelle @D162Michele]

This is why China cannot forgive the Japanese for their war crimes.
Not only have they not apologised, they think it’s made up? 🤯🇯🇵💩

[Nury Vittachi @NuryVittachi]

LARGE NUMBERS OF Americans harshly criticized China’s re-usable booster rocket on social media, saying that the US had already achieved similar feats.

They are missing the point.

The world took such an interest in China’s achievement not because they claimed to be first--they did not--but because a nation from a poor part of the world successfully did what the world’s wealthiest country had done.

Remember, China had the same GDP as India as recently as 1986.

It’s not specific achievements, but the speed and velocity of China’s rise that is terrifying the US political-media establishment.

And that’s why the US is heavily arming Japan, Taiwan, Australia and a dozen other places to stand by to attack China.

.

COMPARE PROGRESS
The missing context of the reports is this: The US, European nations, and New Zealand are ALL actively working on creating reusable rockets of one kind or another.

For an Asian nation to zoom to second place is notable.

What the Chinese did this week was to fire a rocket into space and successfully land an orbital booster at sea, for reuse.

In achieving this, it can be said that China’s Long March 10B rocket is following in the footsteps of the US.

Other rockets which have done this are Falcon 9 in 2015 (by SpaceX, helmed by Elon Musk) and New Glenn in 2025 (by Blue Origin, a Jeff Bezos project).

.

AHEAD OF EUROPE
Yet the Chinese did not demonstrate a copy of those systems, but a unique set-up of their own, with the rocket guided down into a floating landing pad while firing retro-boosters.

By achieving this feat, the Chinese have overtaken other rich countries, confirming the velocity of China’s rise.

Europe’s Ariane Group has been working with the European Space Agency on a reusable rocket stage called Themis.

A New Zealand-US project called Rocket Lab has fired boosters, and then parachuted them into the ocean, so parts can be reused on later launches.

China has apparently overtaken both projects.

.

NEXT: SCI-FI ROCKETS
It is worth noting that the Chinese are testing multiple systems—so they are also deploying systems where a rocket flies straight up and then returns to earth, intact, to land upright, in the style which has been seen for a half a century in sci-fi movies.

Active Chinese companies in this area include LandSpace, Space Epoch, Deep Blue Aerospace and Galactic Energy.

So China can say to its American critics: “Yes, you were first. But we’re happy to be making remarkable progress in this area.”

Yet the elite in the US will think differently.

Their attitude is more likely to be something like this: “Hey, we may be number one now, but at the rate they are going, we’re gonna be eating their dust. How can we Tonya them?”

I can't even begin to imagine the level of hysterical laughter of the Russians/Putin as their getting lectured by a numbskull like @SecGenNATO?
The arrogance of these Western ruling class war mongers is staggering. They'll all need to be humbled & humiliated.

Invading other countries, waging wars against them, or backing such wars seems to come only from the “mature democracies” he’s talking about.The West and the US are still invading, attacking, and killing people in their own countries to seize resources and control power.
Abducting a president from his own bed and launching an illegal war against a country in the eastern part of the world is exactly the kind of “values” they keep preaching.
So, Mark Rutte, you’re simply not the model of values you’ve been trying to sell us.

Vladimir Putin:

One of Great Britain's former prime ministers—I won't name him—was described by his own press as the "dog" of the US President. Isn't that insulting?

Yet today almost all European leaders are in a similar position. But they can't say it out loud; because it's both uncomfortable and embarrassing.

Then Russia is portrayed as "aggressive" and a common enemy. This rhetoric becomes a very convenient tool for building unity and serving US interests.

BREAKING NEWS: Ukrainian authority officers killed a woman who set off a bomb in Monaco, a court heard today.

A serving Ukraine army intelligence agent and a former Kyiv security bureau officer took her to the woods, killed her with a gun, and buried the corpse, a court was told.

She was “disposable” after doing her job, one source was quoted as saying by the UK Guardian.

Other law enforcement authorities caught the two men and made them reveal where the body was buried.

.

THE JOB SHE DID
The bomb she planted in Monaco hit a Ukrainian family – a man, woman and child – who had been sanctioned by the Ukraine government.

The Zelensky administration is expected to deny any knowledge of the current crimes.

But it looks awkward. The country’s government was widely acknowledged to be the most corrupt in Europe before the 2022 conflict caused a dramatic change of tune about Ukraine in western mainstream media.

.

LONG, WINDING TALE
This whole murder mystery is a bizarre, winding tale.

In 2023, the Ukraine government imposed sanctions on a Ukrainian citizen named Vadym Iermolaiev, a wealthy businessman who ran an alcohol business in Crimea.

Crimea was taken back by Russia, but the man continued his trade and paid tax to the new rulers of the area, as he was obliged to do. This angered Zelensky’s government—who hit him with sanctions.

Iermolaiev felt this was unfair, and made donations to Ukraine’s military to show his loyalty. But he did give up his citizenship, Ukrainian media said.

.

RUCKSACK BOMB
On June 29, a woman named Anastasia Berezovska left a rucksack outside a Monaco residential block. It blew up in the face of Iermolaiev, his partner, and their child, aged 13. The two adults were gravely injured, the child less so.

But the bomber’s image was caught on a security camera, and she was identified.

Anastasia Berezovska, 39, who sometimes disguised herself as a man, investigators said, drove away from the scene in a car with German registration plates, crossing into France, then Italy, and then reaching Ukraine on Wednesday 1 July.

.

BODY FOUN D
On Tuesday this week, investigators said Berezovska’s body had been found in a shallow grave in the woods near Kiev, the capital city.

One of the men accused, Vladyslav Reut, has just appeared in court, accused of her murder. He worked for army intelligence.

He said that it was his companion who actually killed the woman, naming him as a former Kyiv security bureau officer named Vitaliy Zhykovych.

The court hearing will continue.

.

ALL VERY AWKWARD
The Ukrainian government will argue that the attack was to do with criminal matters, and there is no political angle.

But of course, that’s the whole issue when it comes to governments with high levels of corruption. That gap, all too often, is rather small.

[Brian Berletic @BrianJBerletic]

could you imagine if even ONE video like this emerged from China?

Yet I see nausea-inducing videos like this from the US everyday.

The US in its current form is a fatal global disease.

Cut it out now or it will kill us all wherever you are.

You can start NOW by STOP buying the products from the corporations - the source - driving this and ALL other foreign and domestic policies.

Huge corporations like those of the arms industry, big tech, big entertainment, big-oil, the auto industry, big-pharma, big-ag, big-retail etc. are all guilty - funding the very think tanks outlining and pushing these policies through at home and abroad.

It's not that big corporations are the problem - its how these corporations exist in the US - in the driver's seat of government, pursuing power and profit, rather than harnessed by government for purpose and the people.

Cut them off and pay into alternatives that put people and purpose first.

The vast majority of Ukrainians want immediate talks. What do European leaders do? They boycott diplomacy, finance Zelensky's corrupt hold on state power rather than calling for elections, send weapons, and push for the deportation of Ukrainians to feed their proxy war.

Canada opposes any measures that risk normalizing Russia's illegal war of aggression against Ukraine. Our position remains clear: as long as Russia continues its unjustifiable invasion, it should not enjoy the privileges of international sport.

We continue to stand in solidarity with Ukraine and remain unwavering in our support for its sovereignty, independence, and territorial integrity.
