nekandro OP , to worldnews in New German Citizenship Law Requires Applicants to Declare Israel's 'Right to Exist'

Germany x Fascism 2: Electric Boogaloo

nekandro OP , to worldnews in North Korean troops will become 'cannon fodder' if they aid Russia in Ukraine, Pentagon says

The really shocking thing about this claim is that it means North Korea isn’t really afraid of defectors anymore. I guess since a huge chunk of defectors end up returning to North Korea anyway?

nekandro OP , to worldnews in China’s Financial Elite Face $400,000 Pay Caps, Bonus Clawbacks

Does anybody actually dislike this result?

nekandro , to worldnews in DNC email archive has been removed from Wikileaks

It’s Russia’s fault that the DNC was caught. Clearly Russia is to blame for the DNC’s corruption.

nekandro OP , to worldnews in The international diplomatic war over Taiwan’s status just escalated sharply

It’s an article about Taiwan. If you don’t know the main politician players in Taiwan, maybe you shouldn’t be here?

nekandro OP , to worldnews in Kenya designated as a major non-NATO ally of the US

Kenya’s anti-tax protesters enter Parliament, several shot ‘dead’

Dozens of Kenyan lawyers protest what they say is judicial interference by President Ruto

I guess America’s friends are unified in their disregard for a fair judiciary and the right to protest.

NATO strikes at Yugoslav power plants

Electrical power was out for thirty days after U.S. strikes on two transformer facilities in al-Nasiriyya, Iraq. Al-Nasiriyya 400 kV Electrical Power Transformer Station was attacked on March 22 at 6:00 a.m. using three U.S. Navy Tomahawk cruise missiles outfitted with variants of the BLU-114/B graphite bombs.

A Dam in Syria Was on a ‘No-Strike’ List. The U.S. Bombed It Anyway.

The Saudi-led airstrikes late Friday hit workers’ housing for a power plant in Mokha, Yemen, flattening some of the buildings to the ground, the officials said.

nekandro OP , to worldnews in The international diplomatic war over Taiwan’s status just escalated sharply

People forget that the reason Taiwan’s shifted to its current stance has been that the DPP has risen to power on the backs of rampant KMT corruption, not that Taiwanese people are in support of DPP foreign policy. Even so, the past election demonstrated that the majority of Taiwanese really don’t want a DPP government… Unfortunately Lai is still head of state under the FPTP system, so here we are.

Both the KMT and TPP (which together received a majority of votes and would’ve won the election if not for the coalition negotiations failing to back a combined presidential ticket) support a more moderate stance with China.

In fact, today it’s the DPP that’s come under fire because of corruption. Recent bills that have passed through the Yuan have seen DPP members stealing bills before reading to avoid anti-corruption language from coming into effect and brawling other parties’ legislators because of opposition. It’s actually quite funny if you ever get the chance to watch proceedings.

nekandro OP , to worldnews in The international diplomatic war over Taiwan’s status just escalated sharply

Taipei Times saying the quiet part out loud “Beijing’s new set of judicial guidelines targeting Taiwan independence advocates and dozens of Chinese planes entering Taiwan’s real estate come after a visit to Taipei last week by two US deputy assistant secretaries of state”

nekandro OP , to worldnews in Vietnam and Russia Sign 11 Cooperation Agreements

Russia is the counterbalance for China/US influence in Vietnam. Vietnam is brilliantly playing 3 of 4 sides in global politics (missing the EU, which can’t really negotiate on behalf of the union) for domestic gain.

nekandro OP , to worldnews in Russian space control center in Crimea struck by Ukrainian ATACMS missiles

The implication being that somebody wants to launch a nuclear strike on Russia.

Attacking a country’s nuclear triad is cause for a nuclear retaliatory strike under all non-NFU doctrines. If Russia can’t identify whether an incoming object is a nuclear strike, any no first use doctrine goes out the window.

This is pushing us straight towards nuclear war with our eyes closed.

nekandro OP , to worldnews in Russian space control center in Crimea struck by Ukrainian ATACMS missiles

This strike is extremely confusing. It’s a space radar thats only other use case is as an early-warning radar for ICBMs (that is, in the event of nuclear war).

Why is Ukraine going after Russia’s nuclear triad? What the fuck is going on?

nekandro OP , to worldnews in China's reusable rocket completes 10 km vertical takeoff, landing test

The current Long March series are already price-competitive-ish with SpaceX, but they’re missing manufacturing capacity to continue churning out rockets. This seems to be the solution?

nekandro OP , to worldnews in Germany's autobahn bridges falling apart

Honestly this is the problem with all road infrastructure. It’ll be interesting to see how countries like China manage it. China currently has the largest paved-road system in the world, and maintaining that will not come cheap.

nekandro OP , to worldnews in Chinese ships enter Japanese waters near Senkakus for two days in row

The Senkaku Islands, also known as the Diaoyu Islands, are claimed by both the PRC and ROC as an island chain under the Yilan County of Taiwan.

The historical context for this island claim is the most absurd: neither the PRC nor ROC were invited to the San Francisco Peace Treaty talks with Japan. A few months prior, the ROC’s Chiang Kai-Shek had signed the Potsdam Declaration with Allied leaders and explicitly declared which islands Japan could hold sovereignty over (the Senkakus were, notably, excluded). However, de facto sovereignty was overseen by the US until 1972, when the Okinawa Reversion shifted sovereignty to Japan.

If there is one territorial claim where the PRC and ROC are in the right with, it’s this one… Not the random claims the ROC has with Mongolia, Pakistan, Russia, Bhutan, Myanmar, Afghanistan, or Tajikistan (for which the PRC has negotiated and settled with), but for this attempt by Allied powers to ostracize a weak China and discredit the sacrifice of Chinese lives post-WW2.
