So, when Iran decides to give the legitimate, democratically elected governments of Iraq, Lebanon, and Syria the weapons and shield needed to allow them to drive the illegal occupiers from their territories, the country that hijacks ships will deem that aggression, but who outside the White Bloc will see it that way?

It gives them not to the governments in those countries, but to terrorist groups.

The US does not recognize Taiwan as a country. Blinken in June this year "We do not support Taiwan independence." But the US is still stirring up a conflict for Japan. The US is likely to start a proxy war between China and Japan in Taiwan.

Maybe it is best if all of the people from mainland China left and let the Indigenous people have their own country back?

That's great, what territory will the PRC be ceding so the Taiwanese can have a democracy, Hong Kong?

quote: I think in the US a court can force all kinds of actions that the kid will find unpleasant.

And you think that creates happy, well-rounded, well-adjusted members of society?

We're not even talking imprisonment here, although I think that should be on the table. If kids hide from the world at 16, what makes you think they will be out there being productive at 30?

There should be no tolerance for missing class. I think in the US a court can force all kinds of actions that the kid will find unpleasant. Either way they will be getting the social interaction they need.

I want to know more about the naked tourist incident. Now those restraint devices the police carry make sense.

Absolutely negligent that the author didn't mention the importance of voting system and the independence of clones criterion,

First past the post needs to go.

The US is trying to stir up some kind of war with China in Taiwan and trying to suck Japan in as well. Japan and China have no reason not to be good friends.

Still China's war plan.

Snap back the sanctions, Mr. Sunak.

I have a feeling this will be the future for Russia and it is one that they have asked for.

a peace initiative led by Beijing is unlikely to be embraced by the West

Is anything China does being embraced by the west ?

Nothing political, that is for sure. The west got rid of emperors somewhere around 476 AD.

And you will never, ever, eliminate that factor, so might as well focus on climate change.

I suggest you allow others to have their own opinions instead of continuous denigration

It's literally a statement of fact. No denigration involved, unlike some others.

Nearly 85% of U.S. wildfires are caused by humans, according to the U.S. Forest Service. Natural causes include lightning and volcanic activity.

In other words, an idiot smoking in the middle of dry grass or another idiot who does not know how to make a camp fire.

And you will never, ever, eliminate that factor, so might as well focus on climate change.

"The Tungsha (Pratas) Islands, Shisha (Pracel) Islands, Chungsha Islands and Nansha (Spratly) Islands as well as their surrounding waters are an inherent part of the Republic of China's (ROC) territory and waters, whether from the perspective of history, geography or international law. The ROC enjoys all rights over them in accordance with international law."

Just reporting the facts as seen from the perspective of Taipei.

Just deflecting from you. Feel the shame, Mr. Deanza

Please watch this important message from the Republic of China (Taiwan). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4_fDk_Y8zQI&t=99s

You act like that excuses the PRC's actions. Feel the shame, Mr. Deanza, feel the shame.

Pure provocation and what an embarrassment for the Philippines calling in Big Uncle for some muscle. US/Canadian/Aussie naval vessels firing on Chinese ships will quickly take us from Fantasy Island to the brink of all out war and nuclear confrontation.

Look at a map and feel that all Chinese should feel at trying to claim water and so much of it at that. I for one would be happy for this to be the cause of MAD.

It would be a public service to see that loser forced to sit there without speaking for once.

Yeah, you can do that by firing Musk, undoing all of his asinine decisions, including the name change, and rehiring the moderation teams. Simple plan, no?

It means even China can't tell Zelenskyy to surrender to his face.

These are the same Usual Suspects who took Kosovo away from Serbia down the barrel of a gun.

Double standards!

So that is like 1 region compared to like 6 for Russia in addition to all of its WW2 thefts? And Russia shamelessly annexes as well without even keeping up a pretense.

If medical science is going to fail so spectacularly, it should know when to get out of the way and let people exit with a minimum of suffering.

There will be some new Chinese wrecked ships on those shoals soon for them to use.

The increase in jobless is expected: it's called loosening up the supply chain.

The United Nations Security Council will meet publicly to discuss human rights abuses in North Korea....................Strange is it not, I cannot remember any UN council meeting to discuss the civil rights abuses carried out by the USA and its Allies in Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria and Yemen. Oh but wait, they are on our side!!

Syria has participated in the Security Council (and so has Iran for that matter):

Generally terrorist groups are not allowed to address the UNSC, but I know you really wanted them from Iraq, Afghanistan, and Yemen.

The United Nations Security Council will meet publicly to discuss human rights abuses in North Korea next week, a move requested by the United States

Obviously a preliminary to organizing another coalition as was used to illegally invade Iraq.

And people wonder why the North has pressed ahead with its weapons program.

Literally conjuring up a story with players from all sides of the world....

Two questions, deterrence against what, and, do these nations want you there?

"The deterrence that our four nations provide as we operate together as a Quad is a foundation for all the other nations operating in this region," Thomas said.

"Oceania, the island nations that are just northeast of Australia...all of our nations now are focusing on those countries," he added.

They are literally begging us to be there as long as their name is "China". The People's Republic for people who will cynically claim Taiwan doesn't want us there.

@TaiwanIsNotChina: How do you go from not liking American politics (and the fact they change every 4 years) to abducting Americas? Just because we hope you lose a sporting event (because we are cheering from another country) isn't a hate crime.

This article is not about a sports event. And very interesting how you mentioned the losing first, almost as if that were what you were really after.

American's need to understand the rest of the world thinks you are nice people, we don't hate you as a people, the rest of the world just don't like stomping over everything because thinking the American way is the best and America needs to take a view on everything.

Every person in every country in the world is free to take a view on everything. Not sure what the "stomping over everything" is in reference to this decade as we should be most worried about Russia stomping on Ukraine.

US and their rules based international system, y'all, unless it doesn't fit the US agenda which happens pretty much every day.

China and Russia object to the issue being raised in the council, which is charged with maintaining international peace and security. They say rights issues should be confined to other bodies such as the U.N. Human Rights Council or General Assembly.

The Security Council should have no say in human rights issues? That's really drinking the kool-aid.

North Koreans must prioritise safeguarding propaganda

Propaganda is unfortunately everywhere.

U.S. residents tolerate repeated mass shootings because they have been brainwashed to believe that “a well regulated militia [is] necessary to the security of a free State” — like there are non-governmental militias out there protecting them from some real threat. 

There actually are non-governmental militias. Deflect much?
