Things to ponder
While our media prostitutes, many Hollywood celebs, and politicians and opinion shapers make so much noise about the still to be demonstrated damage done by the Russkies to our nonexistent democracy, this is what the sanctimonious US government has done overseas just since the close of World War 2. And this is what we know about. Many other misdeeds are yet to be revealed or documented.

The Best Definition of Donald Trump We Have Found
In his zeal to prove to his antagonists in the War Party that he is as bloodthirsty as their champion, Hillary Clinton, and more manly than Barack Obama, Trump seems to have gone “play-crazy” — acting like an unpredictable maniac in order to terrorize the Russians into forcing some kind of dramatic concessions from their Syrian allies, or risk Armageddon.However, the “play-crazy” gambit can only work when the leader is, in real life, a disciplined and intelligent actor, who knows precisely what actual boundaries must not be crossed. That ain’t Donald Trump — a pitifully shallow and ill-disciplined man, emotionally handicapped by obscene privilege and cognitively crippled by white American chauvinism. By pushing Trump into a corner and demanding that he display his most bellicose self, or be ceaselessly mocked as a “puppet” and minion of Russia, a lesser power, the War Party and its media and clandestine services have created a perfect storm of mayhem that may consume us all.— Glen Ford, Editor in Chief, Black Agenda Report

Answer · Recommended for you: Could China invade and occupy Japan?
Candace Yua —Answered 8d ago ·
I am Japanese, here is an honest answer in regards to this fantasy idea, and then a realistic explanation afterwards.
China against Japan, Japan may appear to beat China in the war at first for a while. But China would certainly take over eventually and they would have the power to totally overrun Japan, this is just a fact. Even I admit it, China isn’t a joke of a country. They were disbanded and weak from around the mid 19th century to the mid 20th century for various reasons. But prior to that time China was rather strong, in fact in many parts of history with strong dynasties which were the strongest in the world at the time.
And today China is once again strong, so strong that various countries like the UK and US fear
it a lot, nearly akin to cold war propaganda is their fear for China.
Now for some history, China very rarely invade people. If you look at their history and times like the Qing Dynasty you will understand this. China are long term thinkers, they very rarely just outright invade people as they know in the long term this never works out.
China doesn’t want to invade Japan, nor does Japan actually want to invade China. Nor does North Korea want to attack anyone either. This is mostly western (chiefly US) propaganda and attempts at causing infighting in order [to dominate].
The west seeks to drive a wedge between Asian countries, they constantly make propaganda and try to instigate infighting. Whereas Asian countries in reality are taking active efforts to be friendly and are savvy to what the US and UK attempt to do in Asia.
Ultimately I feel the short term thinkers, US and UK will fade away in history. They don’t see this, but we do. Already the US even on an ethnic level is nothing like it was in it’s early history, they are just a chaotic country that is alive only short term.
