@mesheviksus2 @multabolot @sunsetJhesus The NAM was dead when China fought China in the 1962 war and India went to the Soviets for help

The other major player, Yugoslavia wanted its own commie influence outside the USSR is also now dead

@hoteliercrypto I’m guessing Sino-Soviet split, at that time PKi was much more aligned with the commie party in China (which ironically, became pro-US , especially after Nixon visit)

@lhsingapura @muchlis_ar It’s not that we want UNIFIL to fail, its just without proper mandates, ROEs and stronger diplomatic/security backing, they are sitting ducks out there..and I agree that getting rid of Hezb should be the play here, but it should be the Lebanese AF doing it

[William A. Wibowo @williammudd17]

@mesheviksus2 @AustinHoney30 Unfortunately, its often the guys with the guns that matter and in the case of Krygyztan, possibly Russia

@Y_D_Y_P OTOH, masuk blue helmet menjadi ajal untuk menambah prestige, moneter dan naik kepangkatan untuk tentara anggota negara third world

[William A. Wibowo @williammudd17]

@Y_D_Y_P Tricky, karena mereka “the keepers of peace” tidak punya ROE dan wewenang untuk menembak balik, apalagi kalau state actors, the best “ UN actions “melawan non-state actors kayak the Irish in Jadotsville or the Indian Army in Sierra Leone.

@jorgianaaa It’s always ok if “my people” are doing the “penindasan”

[William A. Wibowo @williammudd17]

@zhil_arf Well, the Indonesian military was primarily designed to fight against internal threats and rebellions (DI/TII, permesta and all that). In addition, the New Order used the army as its primary monitoring (e.g Babinsa) and oppression tool plus securing gov linked businesses

@Trystanto2 Dictatorships are ok until they make an irreversible mistake.
Nicky II in mobilizing the Army in 1st WW.
Napoleon and Hitler invading Russia.
Putin sending 800.000 men to their deaths
No matter how crazy Trump is now, theres a good chance the mid terms would curb his enthusiasm

@RadityoDharmaP Mangkanya kita lihat OPM sering target puskesmas dan sekolah karena itu adalah fasilitas menjembatani republik ke rakyat di sana (OPM berusaha spy rakyat daerah situ politically isolated)

[William A. Wibowo @williammudd17]

@RadityoDharmaP I think beliau benar. Jika seluruh rakyat di wilayah Indonesia merasakan “fasilitas” republik, niscaya tidak mau membrontak dan idup di naungan republik itu “worth it”

[William A. Wibowo @williammudd17]

@annadashzvezda Masalahnya support dari "Global South" selalu minimal karena takut Russian influence, jadi sebelum ini wajar Ukren lukewarm ama "Global South"

@myshawti ALL PRESIDENTS SEE THEMSELVES AS JAVANESE KINGS!! They all try to secure their children as next president..

@Y_D_Y_P Si jeruk keprok uda “loosen the sanctions” jadi bisa beli minyak dari Russia..India udah mulai beli2 juga..tp aku rasa kita akan beli dari US

[William A. Wibowo @williammudd17]

@adriansyahyasin Michelin Guide bukan untuk marketing ke “Kita” atau “Lokal”,, itu memang marketing ke wisatawan asing (“pitih”)untuk beli makanan UMKM (di Singapore ya Hawker)…120 Miliyar harus dibayar?..hanya 1/10 dari harga mbg sehari😀

[William A. Wibowo @williammudd17]

@mrsDBE Oh, look what happened to Kuta, we’ve learnt our lesson..
10 years later..Oh, look what happened to Seminyak, we don’t want that
15 years later..Oh, Ubud is now a mess, traffic everywhere

[William A. Wibowo @williammudd17]

@RadityoDharmaP @ConversationIDN Agree, tapi dengan penggunaan sosmed..you can cut all that dan bisa langsung sampai di telinga masyarakat, dan mereka bisa memilah langsung apa yang ingin mereka denger (karena masyarakat jg sdh pny confirmation bias, ya dipilih lah org2 ini

[William A. Wibowo @williammudd17]

@AdlerVolantis Most Armies won’t have expeditionary capabilities (or experience) to invade, so missile flinging may be the norm, cheap and many would likely overcome costly and https://t.co/8VxxnqOlsA uneducated humble suggestion…build critical facilities underground)
