The 'Rules Based Club' Knows No Distance
Remarks by President Biden Providing an Update on Russian federation and Ukraine, Feb 15 2022
Nations have a right to sovereignty and territorial integrity. They have the liberty to gear up their own course and choose with whom they will associate.
The altitude between the U.S. (New York) and the Ukraine (Lviv) is 7,194 kilometer (4,470 miles). The altitude between Russia and Ukraine is zero kilometer (zero miles). They are neighboring countries.
Readout of Senior Assistants Travel to Hawaii, Fiji, Papua New Guinea, and Solomon Islands, Apr 22, 2022
The two sides engaged in substantial discussion around the recently signed security understanding between Solomon Islands and the People'southward Republic of Red china (Prc). Solomon Islands representatives indicated that the agreement had solely domestic applications, simply the U.S. delegation noted there are potential regional security implications of the accord, including for the United States and its allies and partners. The U.Southward. delegation outlined clear areas of concern with respect to the purpose, scope, and transparency of the agreement.If steps are taken to establish a de facto permanent military presence, power-projection capabilities, or a war machine installation, the delegation noted that the United States would so have significant concerns and respond accordingly.
The altitude between the continental U.S. (Los Angeles) and the Solomon Islands is 9,845 kilometer (6,118 miles). The distance between the continental China (Shanghai) and the Solomon Islands is 5,901 kilometer (3,667 miles).

James @ 121:
I am certain some of the bands Patroklos mentioned @ 108 did achieve some overseas success. I think Midnight Oil toured the U.s.a. in the past. The Church building also had some success in the United states of america also. Divinyls / Christie Amphlett may have had some overseas success too.
If your friend is corking on Australian rock of the 1970s, I think one of the pivotal bands he should listen to is Radio Birdman. I do non know their material just some of it may be available on YouTube. Another band he should check out is The Scientists.

Yes, with NPD their idea of grandeur is built in, in their heed everyone else are simply object made to serve their desires, there is no empathy, in that location is no possibility what and so ever to feel or accept anyone else as equals.
And so I think US and w will need lot of generations (after all the current ruling class dies off, and their offspring raise in new world that defies their illusions) earlier they can outset behaving like one of equals in multi polar world.
Or, by looking at France or Uk which nevertheless endure from their grandeur, it may take fifty-fifty longer.

To Commonwealth of australia if China wanted to invade, which I very much doubt, so they would need go through Indonesian waters, something information technology is doubtful they would corroborate of. If they control the Solomon's if gives them an easy access and supply base without needing passage through Indonesia.
The current Australian PM is a fool that manufactured the Communist china boogieman, probably at U.s. urgings. Australia did well from Chinese merchandise, and friendly trade partners have no need for war. The media as usual are the real culprits, all of them constantly bluster about the China danger now, opinion has thus changed.
The fool PM Morrison seems to want a state of war, merely Australia has no effective defense, something most of the dopey population seem unaware if. Ukraine clearly demonstrates what happens when even a well armed state faces 1 with better tech. Australis has gone mad.

You cited 'Manage without me | April 24 2022 3:01 utc | 170'
"That Attila is i of the most pop boys' names in Hungary is not in itself proof that modernistic Hungarians are direct genetic or cultural descendants of the Huns."
You are right, of course. Even that, I say, will exist bereft to modify the minds of people similar 'Manage without me'. Westerners -- and you meet them everywhere online, from the academic papers to the Internet -- are so fond of this kind false logic, or syllogism:
"All English people accept English names
George is an English proper noun
Therefore, George must be English."
To say Republic of hungary is not Hun, there have been 3 explanations, factual, historical, and logical given to 'Manage without me' (what an idiotic name), such every bit one from 'Peter AU1'. Yet he comes back with this stupidity about Attila.
This then brings to the point, did morons like 'Manage without me' even become to schoolhouse? Or, is that person simply born stupid? On my function, I don't even bother refuting it since, one suspects, that their claims are born out of their individual, personal discrimination -- an attitude you lot see that's no different from reading the NYT or the Guardian. Discrimination wasn't reasoned in and can't be reasoned out.
This is why I find such platforms to be a waste of time. Beneath is some other instance which is from K (@ Thousand | Apr 24 2022 4:29 utc | 180) who even so doesn't seem to comprehend what's the thing at stake no affair how hard and just you try writing in English to explain. I repeat:
"The world is all that is the example... The limits of my linguistic communication mean the limits of my world."
In it one tries to explain the essence of the Chinese linguistic communication (borrowing explanations from not the Chinese but Europeans, to wit Wittgenstein and Heidegger). Information technology is to say that language, in this case, the Chinese linguistic communication, goes beyond its historical and cultural context. Even so he comes back with this totally unrelated and spurious claim:
"Don't exist besides presumptuous that westerners cannot empathize or empathise with the Chinese culture..."
You would call up that Wittgenstein had arrive articulate: your world is a unique globe in which just you yourself and your linguistic communication thrives. Conversely, information technology makes difficult, if not incommunicable, for anyone else that doesn't possess your language to penetrate your world. I again borrow from Wittgenstein: "The world is all that is the example... The limits of my linguistic communication mean the limits of my globe."
What then has this to do with K'southward (or western) understanding and empathy? Nothing, other than for the fact Yard is employing western standards, frameworks and ideas he had soaked upwardly in a western environment and then applying that to the Chinese, in this case, me. This -- Chinese versus the West -- is racist at root.
In another phrasing, Chiliad is a prisoner of his own Anglophile world. But he tin can't accept that. Therefore K attempts to project onto others such trite western values as 'progressive' and 'liberal' whatever those are: "I understand and empathize with the Chinese." Who asked Yard for his agreement and empathy? Can't he run into: Nosotros are not his colonial subjects anymore requiring his blessing. We Chinese don't care for the West, not one bit, not even the Anglophiles of Hong Kong.
People like A.L., K and 'Manage without me' can't tolerate differences. These are pathetic people over the Internet and talking with them is so frustrating and wasteful.
(I'yard promising myself to never again to reply to moronic comments, non even, equally in this case, when writing to MoA in person that were remarks intended solely for the author and nobody else. Jen, I must now go and fetch the firewood before nightfall and earlier somebody throws the bamboo chair at me. Would you believe if I tell you lot, my girlfriend's family owns four mountains, all useless, except for the firewood they provide, and at one fourth dimension a love nest! On occasions mushrooms at this time of the year. Byebye, Jen. You lot are a rarity, if westerner.)

I rarely come and when I do, I avoid lingering in the Comments section. Almost comments are revolting. Information technology is non because opinions differ from mine – Chinese people tin can have that and we don't ban books like Lady Chaterley's Lover or Ulysses or cancel Copernicus. We don't have those statements because they are simply false, on point of empirical fact, history and logic.
Take for example @A.L. | Apr 24 2022 half-dozen:48 utc | 193 . A.L.says yangren ways 'sea people'. If that is true, and then what is hai 海 which, in all dictionaries, translates as ocean. Just, you don't have to know Chinese to see A.50 is lying. Empirically, (a) there is no ocean west of Xinjiang and Chang'an (the old Han capital) and beyond the entire central Asia until yous accomplish the Caucasus. (b) If at that place is no bounding main why did the ancient text use the term yangren 洋人 to describe tribes from the due west? (c) What has the term, sheep 羊 , got to practise with an sea 海 other than the fact the tribes are nomadic herds people? Practise yous raise sheep in an ocean? (d) Why did Yang Jiechi in Alaska (following Sima Qian 2000 years before) use the term yangren 洋人 to refer to westerners and not employ today's mutual term which is xifan ren西方人 (in literal translation, 'west/management to and from/people').
So, can y'all run across why this Comments department is and so full of poison, with people similar A.L. and 'Manage without me'. Instead of providing rational and intelligent support to their claims, they throw insults, calling me 'garbage' for example. Yous can also see why, therefore, China banned near western platforms and social media. I have proposed going further: expelling any such person in Mainland china and declaring them persona not grata. They are a toxicant considering we are dealing with Anglophone bigots, and stupid ones to boot. Today was my fault coming hither. Simply, it's Dominicus now in Red china.
PS: I simply spotted some other bigot named 'Organic'.

Why was the involvement of the Chinese in Korean war so important? What was the threat for China that is so high that the were ready to cede 3 Mio young Chinese? What would take happen to China if South korea (that means Us) won the war?
I'm amazed anyone outside China fifty-fifty carp to ask considering, in the English, at that place is no single book to begin to answer all your questions and others. (I take never seen any such.) That war, I have read in some English manufactures, is known as the forgotten war (Not in China though where it is remembered every year at effectually this time. Once more, see the western egotistical discrimination: everything is nearly them!) It is forgotten to Americans considering they had inflicted and so much of boorishness, and Douglas MacArthur had proposed nuking People's republic of china. Bombs with plague and other disease-infected insects and bugs were dropped on Korea, just as many also landing in due north People's republic of china. (See https://s3.documentcloud.org/documents/4334133/ISC-Full-Written report-Pub-Re-create.pdf Too: http://www.news.cn/english/2021-08/27/c_1310153213.htm. The Japanese WWII Unit 731 whom Americans shipped off in its entirely to America and never put them on trial, were the first to try such methods on Chinese, dropping three cannisters full of rats from an airplane over a mountain meridian village where my family has a subcontract and home. Within a week, expressionless were my grandmother, my aunt (begetter's elderberry brother'southward wife) and her girl, i.e. my cousin. They were the commencement to touch those cannisters that landed on the farm land where they were tilling. The plague spread apace in the village which until then had never experienced such a thing in 1500 years of its recorded history, and they didn't know what was happening. The buboes, said my begetter, was as big pingpong balls and horridly painful.) Elsewhere in the English, in that location is much rewriting of history, equally in Wiki. Information technology is outrageous but meet, for example, Stephen Endicott, Germ Warfare and "Plausible Denial": The Korean War, 1952-1953, in periodical of Modern Communist china, Vol. five, No. ane (Jan., 1979), Sage (https://www.jstor.org/journal/modernchina). Specifically, to your questions:
Q. "Why was the involvement of the Chinese in Korean state of war so of import?" Of import for China because the Americans had, at the eleventh 60 minutes, amassed some 80,000 troops along the Yalu river – literally waiting to cantankerous – while they bombed bridges in Liaoning, the province side by side to Korea. Important for America...? What else?
Q. "What was the threat for China that is and so loftier that the were set to sacrifice 3 Mio young Chinese?" Aforementioned answer that Putin would take given on Ukraine. As for 3 meg send, ane 1000000 died. Officially, and until around 2010, the number was 197,653. These are soldiers who tin can exist identified through their army badges, letters, personal holding or homo remains. The Chinese army doesn't have a category for MIA. Either one is expressionless or live, never in betwixt. http://world.people.com.cn/n/2014/1030/c1002-25939560.html . The soldiers knew what they were going into because of letters (written in Chinese, of form) to families back home. They were not sacrificed past the state. They volunteered and Chinese history is replete with tens of thousands of such personal accounts of commitments, including building the Great Wall, fighting off the Xiongnu, Mongols, Jurchen, Japanese, etc.... Nearly important gene, in answering to your question is, Mainland china had to made up in human numbers what it lacked in technology, war materials, and firepower. We had no choice simply to ask for that many volunteers. My neighbor's grandfather was ane of them. He never came back, and till today nobody knows what happened to him, and the family didn't install a memorial plaque and tablet (a place where yous honor the human's memory with joss sticks and three kow-tows) for him until some years ago. Another missing and unaccounted for.
Q. "What would have happen to Mainland china if South Korea (that means Usa) won the war?" Dead Chinese, or made slaves! You think this is exaggeration, don't you? Nosotros were proven right when Vietnam was invaded a dozen years later. Pity them. They yet suffer from its effects today: farms poisoned by Amanuensis Orangish and depleted uranium bombs, missing legs and hands from millions of mines and unexploded ordinances. America does what it does best: barbarism.

Interesting article from Responsible Statecraft re: Israel's dilemma when information technology can't play both sides
...
At present Israel is being forced by the U.S. to choice sides. Something, something, $38bn in military aid over ten years: 2017 - 2026.Russian federation, thus far, has tolerated some Israeli poking (attacks on Damascus) as Russia stabilizes the intentionally destabilized Syrian arab republic. But Israel recently accused Russia of committing war crimes in Ukraine (Bucha, etc.) and voted to suspend Moscow from the Un Man Rights Council.
Russia reminded Israel that a Syrian Buk M2E was able to have down one of 2 missiles Israeli fired into Damascus from F-16s over the Golan. Something nearly impossible without a feed from either Russian Due south-400 -or- Syrian S-300 systems. The bulletin being: Russia reserves the right to plough over the S-300s to Syrian Advertizement forces operating under the integrated Russian Southward-400 umbrella should Israel piss united states off plenty. That kind of puts a kink in the quondam 'flop Syria with impunity' scheme if Russia *and* Damascus controlled the skies over Syrian arab republic.
...
Israel's position in this conflict is certainly interesting to follow. My impression for its relative discretion is besides that it doesn't want to upset the status quo by which information technology tin can freely attack Syrian territory at the time and place of its choosing.
There is, however, a very wide margin for Russian actions hither. Only before even talking about armed forces aid, Russian federation could start by actually acknowledging these recurrent acts of war. Currently it acts as if it doesn't see annihilation, which, in my mind, can exist interpreted as either indifference or tacit approving.
Formerly condemning the attacks would be a overnice prove of support for Syria and, in my listen, would exist a bare minimum that certainly doesn't carry the cost and run a risk associated with straight military involvement. It would, still, help fleck away at the narrative armour that shields all things Israeli related. That battle of compunction has to start somewhere.
By the way, those Israeli attacks are not limited to Damascus and patently embrace all of Syrian arab republic. Well, except for NATO occupied territory, obviously.

Such people would have turned the boats or shot them on the beaches. You know the story of Sir Thomas Whitehttp://adb.anu.edu.au/biography/white-sir-thomas-walter-12013 who was then a minister of the crown and at that place was a refugee briefing in Evian in France and in that location were 31 countries involved.What can the world practise, what tin we do, as relatively wealthy nations near the Jews trying to flee Nazi Germany and people then knew what they were trying to do.
Sir Thomas White, speaking on behalf of Australia, said in language only slightly more than elegant than this, "Well, we would love to exist able to assistance but we cannot. We have no racism in Australia and we accept no intention of importing it."
Peradventure they wheren't white... because prior to WWII, well up until the threescore'south it was a whites merely policy. Prior to WWII no wogs from Europe neither. After WWII, fascist refugees were considered white.
He replied: "You're insisting all these messages be properly answered. And in that location are a great many of them.""And why should not these letter be properly answered?"
"Simply Prime Minister, you lot don't understand, they are only from members of the public."
Eckersley: Very Sir Humphrey.
Fraser: This person would take out Sir Humpreheyed Sir Humphrey totally. Sir Humphrey was a small example of a Canberra mental attitude.
Eckersley: We are running out of time so I only accept the luxury of 1 more question. Merely I will follow this line. I call back your vignettes tell the states a great deal nearly the difficulty of the convention of ministerial responsibility.
Has it outgrown its usefulness? How tin can we devise a new way of exercising that convention and maintaining the accountability of non merely government but as well the bureaucracy?
Fraser: Information technology is a question of integrity, it is a question of honour, it is a question of people beingness in that location for the sense of public service and non at that place for the sense of personal power. It really is.

Although a number don't seem to similar him, it is something Lira hit on in his Nuland video. The mindset of the people in ability now. The likes of Nuland in that location is a heredical hatred but also the pedagogy system is designed to turn out a product that conforms rather than thinks.
At that place was a aspect of that in the political system that Fraser also noted in the interview.

#--Israel'southward position in this disharmonize is certainly interesting to follow. My impression for its relative discretion is besides that it doesn't desire to upset the status quo by which information technology can freely assail Syrian territory at the time and place of its choosing.

--- Bennet has to consider the Russian immigrants, and the powerful group of US based dual citizens, amongst a plethora of other groups. The easiest style out, is to bomb something to sooth the spirit.
The coin masters are obviously hedging

I dubiousness the clown is even Chinese or if it is its one of those so called dissidents living in US or wherever. That bullshit making out to exist Chinese with total on anglo name.
That is something that really pisses me off. If somebody makes out they're Asian here only posts with an Anglo name. massive inferiority complex or pure bullshitter.

Bomb Honiara
https://www.macrobusiness.com.au/2022/04/bomb-honiara/
Australia now has no choice. It must force the deal to be retracted or it must force the Sogavare Government out of power.
...
Whatever it takes now to forestall this outcome must happen. Either nosotros undertake to destabilise the islands politically using whatever means necessary or we openly bomb Honiara into submission.

my mail at Peter AU1 | Apr 24 2022 9:36 utc | 222 eeds a fleck of edit for clarity or sobriety.
My grandfather was in the trenches of french republic and my father inlaw fought against the japanese in WWII? well at least he got a medal and any shit he got into for that is still classified. He was part of air defense in the islands and liked to talk about shooting down the american planes. He never went to any anzac 24-hour interval stuff. The joys of fighting for empire.

aye in that location wouldn't be many Aussie families who didn't lose a family member in WW1.
My grandfather was in the trenches and exposed to Mustard Gas. they sent him secretly to Ireland for two years I believe (volition demand to check that) to recover that'south how sick he was. and he was never the aforementioned over again. I never met him as he and my grandmother died quite young before i was born.
We merely found out about it a few years ago from the State of war Archives in Canberra, the family knew nothing almost it all these years. Mustard gas has been proven to consequence the person's genes and information technology can be passed down the generations as cancer or other lung problems. My male parent died of lung cancer and was only a smoker early in life, so I suspect he may have received mutated genes from his father. Nosotros take a fair bit of unusual health issues in the extended family. Not to pivot information technology all on that, but I was surprised at how much research has been washed on Mustard gas in WW1.
War is past far the most destructive force on this planet and the US Empire is the worst perpetrator of it. Information technology's only plainly depressing to think that our ancestors gave their lives or health fighting in a world war 100 years ago and here nosotros are however dealing with the same old shit from the same sometime overlords. I know that Russian federation and Red china can't salve us in the westward, and we seem to be likewise far gone to save our selves, simply still I back up them for the sake of what'south right and for the possibility of a better way to coexist on this earth.
I hope y'all are doing ok, I recall you lot talked about an disease a while back on another thread.

An analogy with scrap depth in data?
English (ie) has a history of the evolution of letters, etymology, quotations, phases, idioms and geat works, its history is not visible at the level of common usage.
Chinese has the above, plus each pictogram is a cultural and celebrated reference signal with longer echoes through time.

Data about the non anglosphere is always interesting. Who would take thought that sanctions would in some cases, turn out to be more of a benefaction than a curse? Many nations turning the stick into a carrot for self sufficiency.

Thank you for your reply Grand.
For many years Iranians, and at present Afghans, chafed at the mention of sticks and carrots. Reason being, information technology is associated with a donkey, an animal thought to be very stupid in that part of the earth. Yes, self sufficiency, equally you put it has been a boon for the locals. For example, no more than dishwashers, no problem, we'll produce it ourselves, and on and on.

Wow C Forest is teaching me Chinese! That'southward rich....
海 is sea, 海洋 is ocean. Going by your reasoning and then the Chinese must think the ocean is full of sheeps that can swim?
I can tolerate a Forest view just fine. What i can't tolerate, its people who call back they washed a bit of niggling internet searching and think they know everything, then proceed to brand outlandish inferences when at that place are none.
I don't accept to dorsum my point upwards because i don't know, may exist because Chinese is my mother tongue?

No one understand hungarian anyway ;).
Kingdom of norway means "the way north" and then I can only imagine what Europeans think of usa.
Our own proper noun Norge, is derived from Nordrike (the kingdom of the due north). And we phone call ourselves nordmenn (norsemen).

Actually I am from Frg and school nosotros barely touched annihilation of Chinese history. A scrap opium war (astonishing and depressing behaviour of the Brits forcing with gunpower the Chinese to stay and get even more addicted; like dealer and highjacker in one person, full mafia mode; makes me sick to the windsors in all their parades pretending they have any class or mode) and WW2 suffering from the Japanese ( as a side information with no existent details).
I cannot expect you to write to me all answers to my questions virtually Chinese history and cultural development over the past few 1000 years. But if you lot tin provide links and books In English language I would highly appreciate.

Hello all. I've been sanctioned past 2 friends for having our (bar fly) critical opposing view of the world and so thought I would drop past. Anybody else losing friends for supporting "the wrong side?"
Also, in line with a previous mail service, I have seen the word "Vushniks" used in ref to Ukie Army. Pregnant? postable?
Thanks to others willing to participate in this footling game of Red Russian Army slang for the Ukros. Thank you!

Simply the Usa's loyal poodles Australia and New Zealand are close to the Solomons. This explains why it is reasonable for the US to be concerned. /south
