American edict to all cronies, support Israel or face the consequences

 The obvious motive that came out of the pressure put on China to condemn Hamas is all too clear. China is not going to be threatened to take sides it does not want to. Most countries that support Israel can be said to be under the spell of the USA's 'you are either with us or against us' doctrine. And they have to comply, some bending over backwards, not of their own accord, but under duress.

This is the kind of support that we are being presented with at the UN many a time, when the USA tried to showcase its overwhelming support from countries, by putting pressure on them, with consequences hanging over their heads if they do not do so. The fact that many countries did not learn their lesson over Iraq and still swallowing the horseshit is bewildering. Stupidity really has no cure.

Even an innocent meeting called under the 'Emperor's Edit' to be there in Washington to hear his sermon is awash with veiled threats, if they decide to stay away. The Africans found that out, and fortunately most are still alive, so far, to unveil the truth that they were there just for a photoshoot, to boost the ego of dementia Joe. But the Africans do not realistically relish the shabby treatment they received, unlike some Asians thinking it is 'a feather in their cap' by being called to Washington to have an audience with the Emperor.

The USA could do nothing about Xi's absence at the G20 meeting in New Delhi recently. Xi's absence had nothing to do with India. It had everything to do with Joe Biden and the USA. But they tried to spin it to focus on the strained relationship between Beijing and New Delhi as the prime reason. Xi and Modi had already talked face to face during their earlier meet in South Africa, at the BRICS summit. What else is necessary to talk about at the G20?
BRICS is more important that the G20 in the eyes of Xi.

Bomb threat on Singapore Scoot airline

 I understand there was a bomb threat against a Scoot airline flying to Australia, and it had to return to base. This is going to happen to disrupt aviation going forward. Bet on it. The mental game is just beginning.

A threat may cause passengers to think twice about flying. A threat that turns into a real blast in midair will ground world travel for a long spell. Do we take threats as mere threats, and dismiss them as just threats because no bombs were found in most cases, or take a more serious view that it could turn out to be real? It just need one threat that turns real to complicate things.

Now, about somebody saying that we need to sympathise with the Palestinians, while there is a need to condemn Hamas. Sympathise over what the Israelis did to them over many years, seizing their land, expanding Israeli occupation and throwing Palestinians off their land? Do Palestinians have the right to fight for what they were forced to give up? In other words, sympathise with the Palestinians over their misfortune of being denied their rights, and yet supporting the Israelis for what they did and are doing to the Palestinians? What logic is that?

The Media is now fabricating atrocities committed by Hamas, based on hearsay with no proof being delivered. All the MSM is hyping up and concentrating on is the number of Israelis killed, ignoring the thousands of Palestinian innocents, women and children, who died with all the bombs raining down on them in those high rise buildings. You can be sure war crimes will be on their lips against Hamas, while Israel will come out clean as a whistle.

China calls lack of justice for Palestinians 'crux' of conflict, hardens pro-Palestinian stance despite West pressure

Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi has blamed the rapidly worsening conflict in the Middle East on a lack of justice for the Palestinian people, days after the militant group Hamas carried out a deadly assault on Israeli territory.

"The crux of the issue lies in the fact that justice has not been done to the Palestinian people," Beijing's top diplomat said in a phone call with Brazil's Celso Amorim, a former foreign minister and now a special adviser to Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva. A statement on the call was released by Wang's ministry.

The call came just ahead of an emergency meeting of the U.N. Security Council on Friday to discuss the Israel-Hamas war. Brazil, a nonpermanent member, is chairing the council this month.

Wang urged all parties in the Middle East to exercise restraint to prevent further escalation. He added that the United Nations has a responsibility and duty to play a role in the Palestinian issue, and China is ready to cooperate closely with various parties, including Brazil.

Amid an outpouring of Western support for Israel after Hamas' weekend onslaught killed over 1,300 people, Beijing has maintained a relatively neutral position, lamenting civilian casualties but not condemning Hamas. Soon after the initial attack, it called for an immediate cease-fire and repeated its support for a two-state solution that would create an independent Palestinian homeland.

But the comment by Wang on how China sees the root cause of the problem appeared to mark a hardening of its stance amid heavy Israeli airstrikes on Gaza and talk of a possible ground operation to dislodge Hamas, which controls the strip.

Earlier this year, China positioned itself as a potential mediator between Israel and the Palestinians, as it seeks to become a more influential player in the region.

Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Wang Wenbin on Thursday told reporters that "the Palestinian-Israeli conflict keeps repeating for a fundamental reason: The Middle East peace process has been off the right track, the foundation of the two-state solution has been continuously eroded, and relevant U.N. resolutions are not followed through in good faith."

India propaganda media

 That Indian bitch is now propagandising on the site 'Firstpost', the Indian propaganda flagship, with a wide Indian following, which even some Indian opposition members believe is Modi's mouthpiece.

Forgive me, I am not a fan of that Channel, just meandering into that site sometimes for no other reason than to see how skewed were her views, and for some plain crude and comedic entertainment, albeit for some laughter. Indians love her anti-China stance, which is not surprising, and which is why her channel could gather so many followers from a population of 1.4 billion. Whether true or false must ask Youtube, since it mirrored the views of the USA and the West. That it is mirroring the Western views is another reason why the USA does not put its foot down over India buying so much oil from Russia and even telling the world it allows India to do so, even to the knowledger that India is blatantly sabotaging the sanctions against Russia over the Ukraine War.

That it is a hardcore anti-China site, cannot be more true by just having a glean at all the post that focuses more on negative news on China, like the recent Chinese Defence Minister's absence, than what is happening in Manipur. For months on end, China was the main punchbag for her news on Firstpost, not Manipur that should rightly be her focus. Manipur had been in turmoil since May, and is still boiling over, with unresolved issues. The site even attempted to tie the violence in Manipur to Chinese influence, with Myanmar also targeted for blame. Both the latter two countries are in the crosshairs of the USA.

Now, even Gweilo 60 is pointing this out for all to see, warts and all. I like the part that Gweilo 60 is pointing out about the narrative that 'India is now a superpower, and beating China'. And then under the small print sheepishly admit about beating China in what? In Population increase guys. If you just read the headlines you are indeed stumped, knowing the reality. That is Indian propaganda, torn to pieces. This 'Firstpost' site is being used to brainwash the Indian population into believing a wet dream that India is better than China. And it has succeeded quite well, with other sites like WION and Gravitas doing the same thing.

Wonderful Russia-North Korea Win-Win News! South Korea is Screwed

The US said North Korea had delivered arms to Russia for use against Ukraine, saying it would further Vladimir Putin’s war.

White House National Security Council spokesman John Kirby told reporters Friday that Pyongyang had provided 1,000 containers of military equipment and munitions.

Kirby said the US was also concerned about Russia in turn providing assistance to North Korea.

“In return for its support, we assess that Pyongyang is seeking military assistance from Russia, including fighter aircraft surface-to-air missiles, armored vehicles, ballistic missile production equipment, or other materials and other advanced technologies,” he said. “We are monitoring closely whether Moscow will provide Pyongyang with these materials and we have already observed Russian ships offloading containers in the DPRK.”

Kim and Putin held a bilateral meeting in September in Russia, where they committed to cooperate on security and space innovation, but which US officials said was focused on furthering arms deals between the two countries.
