@ajphelo I found the both sides-ing in the article a hard read
We have the CCP shrill, essentially mouth foaming, ranting about a return of imperial japan, how can nuke Japan on a whim if they feel like it
Meanwhile Japan literally doing nothing wrong, would like to keep existing

Thank you, Taiwan 🇹🇼!
You have provided the largest single donation of ambulances and emergency vehicles since the beginning of the full-scale invasion, 68 vehicles in total!
This generous gift will save countless Ukrainian lives across frontline cities.
UKRAINE WILL WIN!! 🇺🇦

@rpotter_9 I suspect his use of phrases such as propaganda, divorced from reality, fantasy, doesn't understand without any qualifiers are what led to Parker referring to it as lacking respect
If someone called my work divorced from reality I'd also be unimpressed

Here’s his comment. I don’t agree with it but it’s not an unfair one and some of it has merit even if I still think the program should go ahead.

More #AUKUS propaganda from former naval officer Jennifer Parker! Parker is correct that the US’s Columbia ballistic missiles sub program being priority 1 is not news, but in her usual ‘defence strategy divorced from ship delivery reality’ dismisses the real danger to our national security that the current circumstances in the US present. The US wants 66 fast attack subs. They only have 48 (the number went down from 49 last week after the US gave up on the shipyard that was refitting USS Boise, announcing the sub will be decommissioned). Since 2011 the US Navy has been ordering 2 new subs per annum, but their shipyards are only delivering 1.1. They can’t get to 2 … but need to get to 2.3 to be able to deliver subs to the Royal Australian Navy (RAN). Under US law, subs cannot be transferred to the RAN if doing so would degrade US undersea capabilities. This was the genesis of Defense Under Secretary Elbridge Colby’s review into AUKUS - a review that was going to recommend canning the sub deal until Trump (who will not be US President when the subs are due to be transferred) intervened - recognising the Australian money pumped into US shipyards is a beautiful thing, particularly in the absence of a contract for delivery. Sitting in front of fixing the fast attack sub program is the troubled Columbia ballistic missile sub program. Parker fails to (or simply doesn’t want to) appreciate the impact of the ‘priority’ circumstances. The troubled Columbia sub building program fixes sit ahead of the problem laden Virginia sub building program fixes. None of this seems to matter to Parker, who engages in fantasy strategy when it comes to AUKUS. She has complete faith in a hierarchy inside Defence that announced in 2009 it was procuring 12 new subs, but is now having to spend $11B to extend the life of our Collins Class because the organisation has failed to come up with a replacement in that time. Well, to be fair, they did actually spend $4 billion not getting French subs 🤦♂️. Parker has no experience in naval shipbuilding (I experienced the Collins sub build program first hand, was a project manager feeding sonar systems into the German Type 214 sub building program - doing sea trials on those subs - and also worked briefly inside the US sub program - also doing sea trials on USS Santa Fe). She does not understand project management risk. She fills her void of knowledge in this discipline with enthusiasm and hope. AUKUS is dangerous; dangerous to national security, dangerous to the budget and dangerous to our submariners who might be asked to venture into combat with aging and unreliable Collins Class subs. Even if this were all to go well, which it won’t, the opportunity cost of AUKUS is just too high. There is so much more we could do with $368 billion. #auspol

It’s not abuse to criticize someone’s position. I don’t agree with @MrRexPatrick on AUKUS but it’s not fair to assume his criticism of Jennifer Parker is gendered. He dissent like AUKUS, I respect that. These vicious attacks by Parker on peers are getting too frequent.

@comrade_casey You went on a holiday as a kid and now you know better about ruzzia and the world than everyone, including those Ukrainians that experience its exterminationist war daily

I traveled to Russia when I was 17, and I kid you not I feared for my life as our plane was touching down in Moscow. As an American, I was taught to fear Russians as a people.
However, after my first day on the ground, I was confronted with how inaccurate my education was. I was confronted by the generosity of it's people, the rich depths of it's culture and history, and an excitement to return home and say to my friends "Everything you know about Russia is a lie."
Russia reminded me of home. It reminded me of the United States, really. A proud people who are part of a proud civilization with a distinct culture that sits confidently separate from an outside, Western force.
And people wonder why I "simp" for Russia, why I'm skeptical of the centuries of propaganda we're told about Russia, both as a Soviet Republic and in the present.
Well, it is that very reason, who is telling us these things, that I've come to distrust these exact sentiments.
I found Socialism, Communism, Anti-Imperialism in the years following, and was confused why "leftists" toe the NATO line, the establishment line, on American foreign policy in regards to Russia.
I was confused why "leftists" distrust establishment sentiments regarding Cuba, China, and Venezuela, rightfully calling out this propaganda of the Liberal Democratic world, yet fall for it all the same when it comes to Russia.
It's not lost on me that these exact propagandists were successful in connecting Russia, and Putin specifically, with the MAGA base surrounding Donald Trump. With one fell swoop, they single-handedly rebirthed a sort of new Red Scare. Not one based on the fear mongering of "far left authoritarian regimes", but one fear mongering over some sort of Fascistic force in the East, as if that's not the exact force with which the Democrats are operating in Ukraine.
I say to leftists, Western Marxists, and the like, you've come to distrust the establishment narrative regarding most American adversarial states, so why not Russia?
After all, the world is not as it seems.

Wait until you meet the Rheinmetall Republicans. The Northrop Neolibs. The Saab Socdems. And the Dassault Democrats.

No they cannot, and if you question my assertion, ask why China is also involved in the biggest build up of nuclear powered submarines in recent memory. Do physics somehow work differently for them?
Its like dealing with toddlers.

@chenweihua @ChingteLai @TaiwanPresSPOX What happened to the other part of the no consensus consensus of 2000 backdated to 1992?
The bit about "many interpretations"
besides if the no consensus consensus even happened, it was an agreement between two previously undemocratic parties and not the government of Taiwan
English
@ChingteLai @TaiwanPresSPOX The biggest status quo is to recognize and accept the 1992 Consensus that there is only one China, and Taiwan and the Chinese mainland belong to one China. You are undermining it bigly.
English
China’s coercive actions undermine the status quo, once again exposing the risks authoritarian regimes pose to the international order. Ahead of my visit to Eswatini, several countries along our flight route abruptly revoked overflight clearance under pressure from China. 1/2

@Rebel44CZ Or you confiscate the cargo, sell it for revenue
use the ship as target practice if you can't sell it

IMO, this is annoyingly stupid.
Have the ship owner pay the costs (and all the relevant fines), and if they refuse, sell the cargo and the ship...

Exclusive: The Royal Navy has not seized any sanctioned Russian oil tankers because of concerns in Whitehall that the cost of berthing and maintaining the vessels could reach tens of millions of pounds Sir Keir Starmer pledged last month to “go after” Russian tankers flying false flags. Under his plans the vessels can be boarded by special forces and officers from the National Crime Agency However, no operations have taken place due to a dispute in government over where the vessels should be held and which department will pay for them. The Department for Transport has been accused of “dragging its feet” Officials have highlighted the case of a Panamanian-registered ship called the MV Matthew, which was seized by the Irish authorities in September 2023. More than 2.2 tonnes of cocaine worth €157 million was on board. Maintenance, security and berthing of the vessel has so far cost more than £10 million thetimes.com/uk/politics/ar…

@LBelsie347 @DragonWong2024 @RobertCettl Just so we are counting
You've supplied no proof for your claim of Taiwan 'aligning' to China

The Australian government correctly warns us that arbitrary detention is a real risk in PRC

@troppofella @DragonWong2024 @RobertCettl Arbitrary detention!?
That applies in Australia at the moment.

"And so that translates very quickly to the whole question of China, and Elbridge Colby, one of the United States warmonger strategists, made it very clear in his book The Strategy of Denial that it was the intention of the US to use Taiwan both as pretext and proxy to instigate a war involving China again with the purpose of bogging China in a protracted conflict which would inhibit its economic growth and impede its capacity to cooperate in economic development with other countries.
And the US has made it perfectly clear that it expects Japan, the Philippines and Australia to come to the defense of Taiwan. So that (the 3 countries) would be part of the network of proxies that would be used to embroil China in a war that would distract it from its peaceful development, cooperation right across the Global South...
The US has of course described Australia as, I quote, the epicenter of the projection of US power in the Indo-Pacific. So even if the US engaged in a kinetic war with China, it would be launched from, and conducted from, Australia. Which would inevitably make the facilities in Australia a target for China."

@marten_sorby @ChinaUncensored Yep, Central Petroleum Corporation is a fuel station operator, the CCP is a PRC based political party
only silly people chose to confuse the two on purpose
English
@ChinaUncensored I think "CPC" is a very useful acronym because it helps distinguish the people who are too deep into the Chinese propaganda already, as they're the only ones who will use "CPC" unironically.
English
There’s this really retarded, recent propaganda push from pro-CCP shills to say that 中国共产党 should be translated as the Communist Party of China (CPC) instead of the more common Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and if you use CCP you’re an idiot. FYI, Chicoms and Dirty Reds is also acceptable.

@DragonWong2024 @LBelsie347 @RobertCettl Is this an alternative history story you're working on?

For the sake of clarity, New Zealand was on patrol to monitor the sanctions on North Korean ship-to-ship transfers
And China VOTED FOR THIS. It was a unanimous decision.
China could have vetoed the resolutions. Instead, it supported and is now obstructing their enforcement
ChineseEmbassyInNZ@ChinaEmbInNZ
1. For the sake of clarity, none of the UN Security Council resolutions authorizes military aircraft of any country to conduct close-range harassment and reconnaissance in the vicinity of another nation's territory. 2. Based on solid evidence, the unsafe and unprofessional operations of New Zealand military aircraft disrupted the normal operation of hundreds of civil aviation flights. 3. New Zealand military aircraft's repeated close-in harassments in relevant airspace in a provocative manner were conducted even within 30 nautical miles of China’s coastline. These actions ran counter to the basic norms of international relations and posed a threat to China’s sovereignty and security. No sovereign country would accept this.
English
@LBelsie347 @RobertCettl This must be in a different language because the words I read didn't match anything that has happened
In all seriousness, what in the world are you referring to?
English
@troppofella @RobertCettl Taiwan has already aligned itself with China.
A month ago it was formalized in China.
It appears that Taiwan has sought this agreement for months as it doesn’t like or trust America who wants to embroil it between an American/China war.
