@CarlZha well, now iranians should be more aware next time, right? they know where the nuclear material lies as a bait.

This rescue operation is a trial run of Trump's plan to send in US special forces to extract Iranian nuclear material.
Based on the result, they're either sufficiently satisfied to give go ahead or they'll can it. i wonder which?
Clash Report@clashreport
U.S. forces conducted a deep incursion ~400 km inside Iran, south of Isfahan, a highly sensitive area with nuclear facilities, missile bases, and an airbase. The goal was to recover a downed F-15E jet pilot, using a temporary desert airstrip set up in a sparsely populated region. The operation relied on surprise and remote terrain to avoid detection. Multiple aircraft and helicopters were allegedly involved. But leaving the area became difficult, suggesting complications during extraction. Implications (if true): Would indicate significant weaknesses in Iran’s air defense coverage, even near strategic sites. Raises questions about response time and detection capability. Hypothetically shows how such an operation could be used for more strategic objectives (e.g., seizing Iran's enriched uranium stockpiles). Coordinates: 32.258394, 51.901927 (@andynovy)

@universalbrow @CarlZha lol, asia was more scientifically advanced back when europe was still in the dark ages.
in fact, china played a crucial role in the european renaissance.

@jamiewolfowitz @CarlZha Colonialism taught them they weren't superior, then they woke up and started learning the science we knew. They owe us everything. The only thing remaining from their ancient and obsolete culture are chopsticks and their hieroglyphics.

@CarlZha this is cute, but i wanna blame the gacha companies. it's essentially gambling advertised for kids.

@universalbrow @CarlZha akshually, the west owes china. literally.
that's not even accounting for the unpaid reparations for their colonialism.

@jamiewolfowitz @CarlZha China owes the West everything it is today.

China is attempting to do the impossible. The construction of 123 km underwater tunnel, the Bohai Strait Tunnel is on and it will cost China $42 billion. On completion, the high speed transport system will reduce travel time between Dalian and Yantai from 8 hours to only 40 minutes. It will be the longest underwater beating 53.85 km Seikan Tunnel.

Here’s the thing…Taiwanese don’t want to die like the Ukrainians or the Iranians. We might if it’s an existential issue, like what Iran is facing with the US. But with China the cost of any kind of war is just not worth it.
It’s not even worth one Taiwanese dying for this but in reality thousands dying is just the minimum in a war situation.
Asking us to look to Iran or Ukraine is really not helping you sell the case for asymmetric warfare here.

@lolitascak3 It’s been over 80 years. We should leave history to the historians instead of using it as a political weapon.

อึ้งนะ คนเรามันจะปิดหูปิดตาขนาดนี่เลยเหรอวะ พ่อแม่คนญี่ปุ่นช็อคเพราะลูกสาวบอกว่า รู้สึกอายที่เป็นคนญี่ปุ่น เพราะลูกได้เรียนเรื่องนานกิงกับสิ่งที่คนญี่ปุ่นทำลงไป แต่แม่ดันบอกว่าคนญี่ปุ่นไม่ได้ทำ พ่อบอกลูกว่ามันเป็นโฆษณาชวนเชื่อของจีน
คนตายเป็นแสนๆ เขารู้กันทั้งโลก จะมาบิดเบือนให้ลูกฟังทำไมอีก สิ่งที่ทำไปแล้วก็ต้องยอมรับ มันคือประวัติศาสตร์ นานกิงคือทั้งฆ่าขขคน ชาวบ้านบ้านเขาตายกันเพียบ แต่พ่อบอกว่าไม่มีเหตุผลที่ทำแบบนั้น จีนบิด คนที่บิดก็คือพ่อนี่แหละ คนแบบนี้ที่ปิดหูปิดตาสอนลูก
นึกถึงอีกเคสคือเกาะฮาชิมะ คนส่วนใหญ่เข้าใจว่ามันเป็นเกาะอุตสาหกรรมที่ถูกทิ้ง ญปจะยกเป็นมรดกโลก จนคนเขาออกมาแหกว่านี่มันเกาะนรก มีแรงงานคนจีน เกาหลี โดนจับขังไว้ทำงานเยี่ยงทาส ถึงกล้ายอมรับ บางทีคนรุ่นก่อนทำอะไรไว้เราก็ต้องกล้ายอมรับความจริง

昨夜､娘から衝撃的な発言があり急遽家族会議をしました…。 娘曰く「日本人に見られるのが恥ずかしい…」と…。 なぜなのか問いましたら「歴史の授業で南京大虐殺を知った」と。 娘はインターナショナルスクールですので､私は「それは日本人の先生から教わったの？」と訊きました。 すると､「IGCSEのカリキュラムの中でイギリス人の先生から教わった」と…。 ※IGCSE（Cambridge IGCSE）とは、14〜16歳（日本の中学〜高校1年）を対象とした世界的に認められた中等教育修了資格です。 イギリスが中心で､この後にIBやAPなどに進みます。 家内が「そんなこと､していないのよ！」と言いますと､「ママやパパの頃は事実が分からなかったのよ」と… 私から､「1985年に南京大虐殺記念館が中国でオープンするまでは､南京事件って言って中国も騒いでいなかったんだよ」と言っても「それは日本の視点で､世界からは違うよ」と…。 衝撃を受けました私は､添付の記事（日本のメディアではなくNYタイムズ）を見せて､冷静に虐殺する合理的なメリットがないことや､中国のプロパガンダの特性などを話しました。 蒋介石の行動や､南京での日本軍と現地の方のスナップ写真なども見せました。 娘はまだ半信半疑のようです。 私が心配しているのは､上記の内容を海外の教育プログラムに入っていること…。何とかできないか模索中です。

@CarlZha japan: stupid thai for making ramen in a convenience store!
thailand: ..uhm what?
japan: china bad.
did i get the gist right?
English
This is very Japanese. This is how you know that acct is authentic Japanese acct rather than Western Larper.
Because Western Larper will blame Muslims whereas real Japanese always blame Chinese or Korean

@universalbrow @CarlZha none of this would've happened if you stayed away from china, fucking colonizers.
i'm glad the tides of turned now, and china doesn't forget.

@CarlZha Of course, the boxer terrorists were murdering families in churches, how did you want us to react?

@Eivor_Koy they should do something like this for smoking in non-smoking areas. but call them "ugly" for smoking instead. better looking if they didn't smoke.

Traffic cops in China have come up with the cutest (and most savage) traffic education program yet: "Elementary School Kids on Patrol."
They send adorable little kids out onto the streets to spot motorbike riders who aren’t wearing helmets. When the kids find someone, they cheerfully sing in the sweetest voices:
"Brooo~ Brooo~ You already look so handsome…
But you’d look even more handsome with a helmet on!"
The rider then gets to join the fun by holding up a big sign that says: "Follow traffic rules and wear a helmet!"
With the kids happily chanting and cheering him on, he helps find the next person who needs a gentle reminder. It’s like a friendly chain of traffic rule education passing from one rider to the next.
The best part? The kids are having a blast learning traffic safety in real life, and the adults get such a memorable, heartwarming lesson that they’ll never forget to wear their helmet again🤣

@CarlZha she's wearing a more important garment than the hijab- the iranian flag.
with people like her, iran will win, and when they do, i hope they don't forget their loyalty to the country.
be lenient to the people who fight for you, not to those who attack you.

@AngelicaOung would the u.s even be able to supply them at this point, when they're quite depleted? pay now, get indefinitely later scheme?
what'd be funny is if they'd redirected the taiwanese-paid equipment to israel.
English
As the GCC allies demonstrated, if you are living in the neighborhoood with a major missile power, no amount of fancy US military equipment will save you.
We are not buying deterrence. We are paying for overpriced friendship bracelets.

U.S. lawmakers are visiting Taiwan to attempt to pressure the country's parliament to pass a massive $40 billion defense budget. The last major defense sale to Taiwan triggered major war games by the PRC around the strait; just more export of chaos for the sake of it.

@USA_BaoziLover @zapatas_mom i'd agree to this. i started my guitar journey watching justinguitar on youtube about 10 years ago.
but in order to commit to learning, the player has to like the instrument first. so it just depends.
English
@zapatas_mom Self teach guitar. YouTube lessons are unbelievably good in 2026. It's not like it was two decades ago.
English
@USA_BaoziLover @zapatas_mom there are electric drum sets with headphones as an option for practicing at home. fairly affordable, light, don't take up too much space, and it's quiet when you want it to be.
English
@zapatas_mom How are you going to practice if you don't have a drum set?
English
Im going with drums. According to chat gpt its a quicker payoff. I hate HATE slow moving progress and ill give up guitar easily cause its too slow to make progress.
Katrina 🇺🇸🇨🇳🇲🇽@zapatas_mom
Should I take drum or guitar lessons ?
English
@zapatas_mom @USA_BaoziLover i've been practicing guitar everyday, 10 years this month of april, and my recommendation if you're practicing guitar at home (while drums in class) is dont get the cheapest accoustic (hurts, and uninspiring tone). in fact, just get an affordable electric guitar as a beginner.
English
@USA_BaoziLover Im paying for lessons. Quicker payoff so more bang for my buck with drums. Guitar, as you said, I could learn by myself and buy a used one for cheap

@fr3ezingp3aches ...or when there are now people who just agrees with china even when it's completely bonkers and untrue 😆

The CCP is currently talking about turning 10% of Taiwan into a giant organ bank, but sure let’s make a multipolar world order with China!

@adam_tooze @AngelicaOung adam, china doesn't want to be a hegemon/primary global leader of any sort. their success so far is because of that. they don't want to replace the usa's role, and instead want multilateralism.
no sane chinese think tanker in beijing would propose this. and that tells something.
English
Its not even that @AngelicaOung I'm putting myself in the position of a think tanker in Beijing and asking how easy would it be to write a five point plan for global leadership? The answer is very easy. That tells us something.

@StevenGlinert @adam_tooze What’s wrong Steve? He’s bullish in China and decide to give some advice on how China can help make the world a little better in this chaotic moment that’s well meaning. Why does that mean he is disloyal or biased?
