  • Many Israelis feared and continue to fear a two-state solution because the Palestine “territories” wouldn’t be crushed and could self-govern. That would terrify the “Israelis” that the nation needs the most to thrive economically: the tech sector, the university professors, the doctors, lawyers, judges, engineers, diplomats, etc. both keep the economy going, are also the ones who have the easiest pathway to flee. People tend to forget that the reason that Ian Smith’s White Minority Rule coalition lost in the elections was not because the white Rhodesians all of a sudden grew a heart and decided to help liberate the poor oppressed black Zimbabweans, but because the African Bush War had decimated Rhodesia’s economy due to a massive brain drain. All of these people left and the average white Rhodesian hated black people but was willing to vote for anything to stop the bleeding. If anything farmers refused to give up the racist fight even after the whites in government had agreed to end the white minority rule, these farmers told the new government that the natives would have control of their farms “over my dead body!” and they obliged.









  • I like to draw a contrast with Xi Jingping’s recent summit with the Arab League.

    1. He praises them on their achievements, acknowledges the difficulties and asks them to strive to create creative new solutions to existing problems.
    2. Asks the leaders a bunch of questions as to what is going on right now to get their insight.
    3. Thanks them for educating him.
    4. Asks what role can China play in a mutual “win-win” relationship.
    5. Thanks them for their time and gifts them some Chinese food, beverage or trinket.

    That’s largely the way he goes about interacting with nations, compare that with the Occupied Indigenous Nations that we commonly call “USA”, and how they claim to “run the world”.



  • I think that the US State Department blew out of proportion the fact that Vietnam sided with the USSR in the First Cold War and not the PRC (which were technically allies of the US at that moment) and the spat over the Spratly Islands. Sure they do have disagreements but to believe that Vietnam will seriously be used as a pawn against China is absolutely moronic.

    Edit: There’s also talk that China is trying to strike a partnership agreement of sorts with the Taliban administration in Afghanistan and US American spooks are seriously trying to be like “Hey, buddy, remember the good times we had together? Yeah, you don’t want to do business with China, they’re evil!”…
