Taiwan’s airline is China Airlines, Taiwan’s banking is China Trust, Taiwan’s oil is China Petroleum, Taiwan’s communications are China Telecom; Taiwan speaks Chinese and has the same dialect as across the strait, Taiwan’s streets are named after mainland cities (unlike Hong Kong), the “local cuisine” is Chinese cuisine (and Taiwan competes in the Olympics as “Chinese Taipei”).

It’s strange you bring up Taiwan having “its own currency” when Hong Kong has the same and is by all accounts not an “independent country.” Obviously having one’s “own currency” does not automatically translate to national independence, and nearly every country, and the UN officially, recognizes Taiwan as a part of the PRC.

*details on NATO false-flag terrorism in Italy to frame communists and rig elections against them (so that Italy wouldn’t increase ties to the USSR chiefly), NATO Nazi stay-behind armies in numerous states that were used to crush left-wing movements, etc.

How NATO Worked With Fascists to Crush the Left in Turkey

NATO controlled the very forces in the countries that would guarantee its stay there, rigging elections against and terrorizing movements that could potentially throw them out. You are sanitizing a Nazi fascist organization by omitting this aspect and simplifying NATO membership to a straightforwardly consensual relationship and I think you should be banned, along with everyone who liked your comment if that’s the policy now.

Show it then? It would be much more effective than “yes there is.”

June 2022 WSJ/National Opinion Research Center poll showed 55% of Ukrainians believed NATO (and 58% wrt the US, 70% wrt the Ukrainian govt.) bears some/a great deal of responsibility for the Russian invasion and ongoing war.

North Korea could not have been forced to use their troops to attack Ukraine if Kim Jong Un did not want them too.

Truly brilliant. Also there is no evidence the DPRK is deploying troops to attack Ukraine.

I don’t know how the world should deal with Biden, truly. Russia is not the power that is issuing threats. NATO did exactly what they recognized for decades would push Russia to invade. Ask how Russia should deal with a foreign power covertly manipulating their neighbor’s politics to elevate Nazis who would go on to bomb Russian speakers.

Iran and the DPRK are in no position to allow Russia to do anything.

Your ideology has zero explanatory power in the real world. “Fanatic” means nothing now.

Nobody said it wasn’t a “big deal.”

{ In 2008, US Ambassador (later CIA Director) William Burn cautioned that NATO expansionism “particularly to Ukraine” could cause a Russian invasion, stating, “In Ukraine, [fears surrounding such expansion include] that the issue could potentially split the country in two, leading to violence or even, some claim, civil war, which would force Russia to decide whether to intervene.” He goes on: “Experts tell us that Russia is particularly worried that the strong divisions in Ukraine over NATO membership, with much of the ethnic-Russian community against membership, could lead to a major split, involving violence or at worst, civil war. In that eventuality, Russia would have to decide whether to intervene; a decision Russia does not want to have to face.”

Russian propaganda runs deep!!

Even in the very beginning you see the Western brainworms dangled in your face, but there are good aspects to the book.

If I needed to blatantly lie in the introduction of my paper to get it published then I would simply not try to get it published.

during a period of warfare between Israel and Palestine

just genuine nonsense

pro-Palestinian activists in the U.S. violently attacked Jewish American diners and pedestrians in Los Angeles and New York, shouting messages including “Fuck Jews.”

The paper only cites this CNN article for this claim, which doesn’t directly mention Los Angeles (but does link to other CNN articles that deal with this case), dealing primarily with the case in New York, the article qualifying that “F**k Jews” was “allegedly” yelled by the attackers. This is the source that THEY CITED.

From the article we learn that the assaulted man “told CNN’s Don Lemon that the attack took him by surprise as he was headed to a rally.” A rally for what? This article doesn’t say, but this NBC New York article says it was “a pro-Israel rally.” We know “the gang assault happened near the protests that erupted Thursday night in Times Square, shortly after an announced ceasefire between Israel and Hamas went into effect” (and this is something the authors of the paper cited as well if they count any links within the cited article as being within the citation for that article, which they would have to for the LA case), so even if the authors weren’t certain which rally he was heading to, why wasn’t this mentioned in the paper?

This is all from the first very first page, and I’m not going through the rest of the article, but already this shouldn’t have been published.
