not surprising. NATO countries are extremely oppressive and authoritarian. literally all media is controlled by a few entities.

when you get high on your own propaganda
I recommend everyone look at the uncensored pictures and videos of the aftermath to understand how tragic of an event this was. Even worse Israel just made up biographies of select people that they slaughtered there saying that they’re terrorists (refuted by people who knew them). It’s SO FUCKED UP.
this isn’t true. russia has never targeted civilians like Israel does (e.g., every hospital attack, aid truck massacre, this recent school bombing, etc). Ukraine blames their own air defense missiles hitting civilian buildings on Russia. They also hide soldiers in abandoned schools, tanks and APCs in farm silos and semi trucks, etc. I’ve seen at least dozens of photos taken from the Ukranian side where they hide in civilian infrastructure. Do NOT get your info from any US or US-aligned media. It’s literally ALL controlled by the CIA.
In fact, Ukraine actively creates atrocity propaganda complete with film crews and actors, I’ve also seen behind-the-scenes pictures from TWO events staged by Ukraine.
The worst actual atrocity I’ve seen from Russia is them bombing a diner where many NATO staff were. For sure there were civilians in there.
the cradle ls excellent
uhh the IDF is losing to (the militant wing of) Hamas. Netanyahu will be sent to jail for reasons (corruption and fraud I think) which is why he seeks the US to fight a regional war for them. so basically 9/11 all over again.
Taiwan is not going to let the CPC take over, give it up already. Why spend so much effort over “face” anyway? It’s basically not even for the face of anyone under 70. The CPC should apologize to Taiwanese for letting the KMT oppress Taiwanese and not finishing them off or locking them up or whatever. House prices are an issue of fiat currency literally being infinite while desirable land is finite. I think the only realistic thing that can be done is to appropriate ALL KMT land (a lot of it is in prime locations and they stole it all at gunpoint anyway) and turn it into public housing.
that’s (CNN) equating zionism with being Jewish which is RACIST
Why are you lying? They bailed out buyers. And no it’s not. Are you a fed? https://redsails.org/china-has-billionaires/
China already bailed out the buyers. Don’t know where you’re getting your info from. THIS perhaps? https://www.appropriations.senate.gov/imo/media/doc/FY21 BILL HIGHLIGHTS_SFOPS_final.pdf

Was your source the CIA? If so you deserved it
FYI the weapons are basically shit (there’s agreement among Taiwanese and Chinese nationalists) and can’t be used for force projection at all. In Taiwan purchasing of these arms is considered paying protection money to the mafia. In the US it’s spun as helping Taiwan protect itself against China. In China it’s spun as the US interfering with China’s “internal affairs” since they’re larping as owning Taiwan.
I do agree that the US is trying to bait China into attacking Taiwan though. The special forces in Kinmen to train kids (they’re probably <23 years old) to pilot microdrones? LMAO. I’m not sure if CIA intelligence (as opposed to operations) even know the actual reason of why China wants to claim Taiwan. They may believe in their own propaganda.
The KMT doesn’t represent Taiwan. The CPC should have finished them off/sent them to jail. Mao was for Taiwanese independene from it’s Japanese colonizers.
The KMT and CPC are both from China. The vast vast majority of Taiwanese are not KMT from China nor any of their descendants.
The KMT doesn’t represent Taiwan. Tsai, obviously the former president, has already said that Taiwan is already independent and doesn’t need to “declare independence”. China’s position is 100% LARP. Their claim is that they already own Taiwan, which makes no sense at all.
There are basically ZERO pundits anywhere that know the history of Taiwan. They either parrot same NAFO-type propaganda or CPC propaganda – which is basically that Taiwan is an “inalienable part of China”, which is simply historically false. Throughout most of Chinese history none of the leaders gave two shits about the island of Taiwan until it became part of an important trade route. THEN the Qing dynasty started to administer very very small parts of it. They were later forced to give up their rule on those parts of Taiwan to imperial Japan for many reasons (yes, imperial Japan is bad). Afterwards, there still wasn’t much of a concern for taking Taiwan, either from the CPC nor the KMT. It only started happening after KMT lost their war and started claiming Taiwan was theirs and planning their escape plan. Shortly afterwards, the CPC said Taiwan was there’s as well.
In the bigger picture, aboriginal Taiwanese have arrived at Taiwan in various periods, starting around 6000 years ago. The vast majority of “Chinese” that came to Taiwan came starting around the 1600’s due to the Dutch East Indian company encouraging immigration from China and later on the Qing dynasty encouraged immigration as well (1800’s). CPC propaganda makes it seem like “Chinese” presence in Taiwan all came from the KMT fleeing to Taiwan or something. The KMT and all of their descendants only make up less than ONE FIFTH of the population of Taiwan.
Anyway I skipped over a lot of history including Dutch atrocities in Taiwan, a Ming loyalist dispelling the Dutch, and the Spanish colonization of (small parts) of Taiwan https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dutch_Formosa
Taiwanese identity is also very important and unlike what the CPC says, it’s not about being “anti-Chinese” or “not Chinese”, which makes no sense.
Also, what does being loyal to “China” actually mean? The Ming dynasty had conflicts with the Qing dynasty, which one was more Chinese? Is the CPC responsible for everything bad previous dynasties did? Should the CPC take responsibility for KMT atrocities?? If no, why not? Do they own all the land that previous dynasties have owned? Does the CPC own all land that Chinese people live on? (Chinese nationalists actually use the ethnostate argument as a reason as to why the CPC should own Taiwan).
What terrorists? Israel legally speaking Israel does not have the right to defend itself. Oct 7 was a success MILITARY operation and no, mass rape and the other atrocity propaganda did not happen.
