Dear Critic,

«Taiwan and Ukraine - is NOT about Taiwan or Ukraine.»

And eating is not about nourishment - eating is about enriching the supermarkets and helping government to raise taxes. Remember this next time you see food and don't fall for that trap - it is not your body that starves and falls when you stop eating but actually corporations and government which collapse when you stop feeding them!

I still care about people and their freedom, man, something you seem to have forgotten during your enthusiastic crusade against America.

«in a world that no longer wishes to be dictated to by the US and the West.»

A fox was walking by the river and saw swarms of fish hurrying and scurrying, so he asked them "why do you hurry and scurry?", so the fish replied: "We are afraid of and run away from the man who throws nets to catch us". "In that case", said the fox, come up from the water and stay with me here, just like your forefathers lived together with my forefathers...".
- The fish responded: "You fool! We already fear even in the place of our living - how more so in the place of our dying!"

Indeed, we don't want to be dictated to by the US - how less so to be dictated by Russia and China!

"And eating is not about nourishment - eating is about enriching the supermarkets and helping government to raise taxes. Remember this next time you see food and don't fall for that trap - it is not your body that starves and falls when you stop eating but actually corporations and government which collapse when you stop feeding them!"

Nice job, that's some food for thought.

"Indeed, we don't want to be dictated to by the US - how less so to be dictated by Russia and China!"
I don't want to be ruled over by any foreign powers.
All of our leaders are shite and the system is shite too.
I want all of our feckless western leaders to stop putting 'international democracy' first, but instead put their own people and their best interests first.

And truthfully, I'm not sure 'democracy' can save us.
(What do you think of that question ttbn - do you actually believe democracy can save us?)
And if that's actually true, then I'm not entirely sure what it means or implies.
Is it 'Democracy' or are we all actually on board the bloody Titanic?

Hi Yuyutsu,
"Then what would, do you propose, the Chinese be supporting them with?"

Lets propose the Chinese were assisting the Tasmanian separatists with support for independence against the wishes of Australia, as well as naval vessels, military support, military defense, access to trade and markets, financial support (funding) and access to other forms of currency and payment systems, and media coverage to argue the separatists point of view.

Dear Critic,

«Lets propose the Chinese were assisting the Tasmanian separatists with support for independence against the wishes of Australia»

Should, hypothetically, Australia be as stupid as to actively oppose the wishes of Tasmania and try to keep it in its fold against its wishes, then it would be no better than China, then it would be behaving exactly the same, and then I could not support it.

But as I see it, should Tasmanians wish to be independent, then the rest of Australia should, and I honestly believe would, welcome them and try instead to forge diplomatic ties along defence and economic treaties with Tasmania.

«I don't want to be ruled over by any foreign powers.»

And I don't want to be ruled over by any human powers, only by God.

(and yes, the power of human majorities, called 'democracy', is no exception)

"North Korea has sent balloons full of rubbish, toilet paper and suspected animal excrement over the border into South Korea, according to local media reports.

Seoul has slammed Pyongyang for its 'low class' actions.

Residents who came near to the garbage bags said they had a 'distinctive smell', that left little to the imagination.

Photographs showing white balloons bearing garbage bags full of rubbish and what appeared to be excrement were shared widely by South Korean media, after the North warned this weekend it would shower border areas in 'mounds of wastepaper and filth' to punish Seoul."
