This kinda news doesn’t feel any better to hear now than it did when I was a child. The people who can do something about it don’t care. We mourn our lost future. The cycle continues.
Oh my god it’s an article with a title that correctly describes the “violence” that was the problem at the encampment. 95% of the other articles I saw just talked about generic “unrest” or “violence” during the protest, implying the protest was the source.
To put it in perspective a 1f change in water temperature is like a 1f degree change in our bodies. A fever for a short time, no big deal. Too long and you die
These creatures use the ocean to regulate their temperature. It needs to stay consistent for them like how we have a stable 98.6f
Just a global monopolistic behemoth corporation built on the gears of American business selling us all out for yet more cold hard cash. Just microsoft things. Probably brings a tear to ol’ Ballmy’s eye.
China looks so dumb doing this. I cannot for a second understand how this sort of posturing is supposed to be good for China in the slightest. It makes them look weak and pitiful to peacock about a wee island that would probably have naturally integrated over time anyway if they were babies about it.
Reporting over the last 10 years has shown that Xi Jinping has been obsessed with the idea of “color revolutions,” whereby popular movements from within a nation’s population overthrow the ruling apparatus. Rightly or wrongly, the current CCP sees revolution from within being the most dangerous threat on their power, so much of what they do is best understood as being aimed at stifling that kind of movement.
And with good reason, seeing how the Chinese economy is leaving millions in the curb, to realize the stark difference between the ideals of the regime vs reality, and more and more dissatisfied.
It’s a show of power to their own population in China, a drill of invading Taiwan, and an opportunity to push the line a bit further every time they do this, until a Chinese soldier sets a foot on Taiwanese land. They don’t care how it looks internationally, as “how it looks” doesn’t have any real consequences or at least they are worth the benefits.
The elected president is far from separatist. He’s supporting the status quo. China shows how utterly selfish and uncooperable they are.
I hope this provocative behavior leads to further preparation, unification, and separation within Thailand, and international allies supporting them. China clearly shows where they stand and where they will move towards.
It’s “only” buffing right now, but Tibet and Hong Kong showed they will act eventually if let be.
To let us reconstitute our army groups and restock supplies. In order to show our good faith we will withdraw troops from the northern costly tactical mistake.
