Pentagon chief Lloyd Austin said Tuesday that Beijing's expansive claims in the South China Sea have "no basis in international law", taking aim at China's growing assertiveness in the hotly contested waters.
Austin's broadside came at the start of his first trip to Southeast Asia as US defence secretary, as he seeks to rally allies in the region as a bulwark to China. Yahoo News
This black African American dared to denounce China's claim of no man's islands in the South China Sea as having no basis in international law.
Alright, what is the basis for the Europeans to claim the whole swath of North America, ie USA and Canada? These are not no man's lands. They belong to the natives of North America. There were millions of them there. Can this black African American tell the world on what basis are the Europeans claiming these lands as theirs?
On the basis that they could genocide the native Americans until near extinction and no longer able to occupy the land? Or was it on the basis of the Christian doctrine of Discovery, whereby the natives are not regarded as human beans but sub human beans and did not have any rights of ownership of the land?
Is there any international law that recognised the white Europeans' claim of USA and Canada? Did the UN recognise these claims?
Please tell the world on what basis did the white men claim ownership of USA and Canada, and also Australia, New Zealand, Hawaii, Guam, Diego Garcia and many Atlantic and Pacific Islands?
The world, the UN, must question the white European's claims of native lands all over the world, The UN must conduct an inquiry into the seizure of native lands by the white men and make a ruling on it.
Yes, since the Americans are questioning the ownership of land claims, it is opportune for the UN to take a position on this subject and settle the score once and for all in the name of justice and fairness and in respecting the rights of natives and international law.
Alaska, Australia, Canada, Guam, Hawaii, Diego Garcia, Okinawa, New Zealand, USA and many other islands in the Arctic, Antarctic, Atlantic Ocean, Indian Ocean, Pacific Ocean, etc. - all these lands be returned to the natives or rightful owners.
ReplyDeleteEven the UK has been robbed by the Whitemen from Europe.
Singapore too must be returned to the Malays.
UN maritime tribunal rejects UK claim to Chagos Islands - January 2021
ReplyDeleteThe Chagos Archipelago is part of Mauritius rather than the UK, the International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea has ruled in a further blow to the UK’s claims on the islands.
The tribunal said determinations by the International Court of Justice (ICJ) “have legal effect and clear implications for the legal status of the Chagos Archipelago”, and that the UK’s “continued claim to sovereignty over the Chagos Archipelago is contrary to those determinations”.
“While the process of decolonization has yet to be completed, Mauritius’ sovereignty over the Chagos Archipelago can be inferred from the ICJ’s determinations,” the tribunal added.
Eminent human rights lawyer Philippe Sands QC, who represented Mauritius in the ICJ proceedings, has described the UK as an “illegal occupier” whose refusal to abide by the ICJ judgment represents a “crime against humanity”.
Right RB. Exactly what basis do they have to claim North America as belonging to them, when the Native Indians are the real owners? They effectively committed daylight robbery.
ReplyDeleteContrast that with 'no man's uninhibited islands' in the South China Sea. Which action has practically no basis. The USA can only use gangster and Mafia talk to argue their warp logic.
Gangsters and Mafia move into other people's land and claim that it is their territory to control.
ReplyDeleteAt least they have morals and let the people live and let live. But to commit genocide and get rid of the real owners is inhuman, vile and despicable. Just as Putin said, they did all that and now accused others of doing it.
The UN? The Mafia do not even recognise the UN International Law and is trying to impose their own 'Rule of Law' on the world.
ReplyDeleteThe UN is just a lame duck rubber stamp for the Mafia.
The Americans everyday boasted about rule of law, abide by the rule of law. But they are above the laws and would not abide by any law. They quoted UNCLOS but would not be a signatory to it. They abused and disregarded all the resolutions of the UN, threatened anyone to bring them to ICJ for crimes against humanity, threatened the judges of ICJ.
ReplyDeleteThe Americans are lawless.
The UN has just concluded a finding that the Ryukyu Island chain which include Okinawa did not belong to Japan, are independent states.
African Americans are well-known Anti-Chinese and Anti-China. That's why Llyod Austin was chosen as the Pentagon Chief to attack China.
ReplyDeleteThe US strategy 13 years ago was to contain China. Since Obama took over (and with the advice from LKY) the pivot to Asia Pacific was a change in strategy from containment to peaceful confrontation with China.
Joe Biden has changed the strategy of peaceful confrontation to the strategy of Offensive Confrontation.
Using an African American as Pentagon Chief fits the bill.
China must be prepared for war with USA at all costs and win at all costs.
Austin is probably as smart as Powell, just like Trump is as smart as Bush Jr.
ReplyDeleteSoon Austin would also be carrying a vial of detergent and calling it chemical weapon to wave in the UN. He would do it honestly as he could not tell the difference.
SSOle - I don't give a shit about a war between China and the US. Just don't involve Singapore.
ReplyDeleteSingapore has already committed itself to the US by allowing the US to use Singapore as a staging area to launch attacks at China.
ReplyDeleteThere is no way Singapore won't be involved.
If China is well prepared for the war with the US, Singapore might be one of the first targets that China would take out, during the early phase of the war.
Virgo, don't waste time with badminton lah. Football is the real game. Win olympic gold and the world respect you. Even better if win World Cup, but I think China must wait long time for that one. So far only white countries win World cup, but African countries won Olympic gold medal. I think Japan have won the women's world cup before, so maybe China also got chance.
ReplyDeleteAlamak Virgo. All games are stupid lah when you look at it, but just that some more dumb than others. With Golf, you hit the ball, then walk after it . Then you do it again and again over and over again - 18 times. You call that good? Badminton just see the cock go tik tok tik tok tik tok tik tok tik tok.
ReplyDeleteFootball got more. Even you describe got drama, strategy, kelong side show, wayang, politics and ah kwas. You even count their number of balls, and you say not exciting.
Football got status because every countries can play football, and all the countries watch. This is facts, bro. Don't get sensitive or upset.
You want brains, go and watch chess.
ReplyDeleteFor badminton quick reflex and speed and hand-eye coordination enough. You think the player can strategy and plan beforehand where to put the cock, ah? Talk cock, lah. During the game, when he reach the cock, he has to quickly see the other player's position, and where is the best place he can hit it so that the player cannot get it. Once in a while, maybe can trick the guy to offbalance. This is just luck because the player is going in other direction.
Circus still entertaining, right?
Let's be kinder Virgo. Not easy to win a gold medal in the Olympic. Must give him credit.
ReplyDeleteThis is also to tell the imbeciles that there are millions of talents out there. If we are to open the legs wide wide to invite foreign talents here to replace Singaporeans, there would be millions out there that could replace all the imbeciles.
