USA Politics

Source…?

Just google or ChatGPT "Plazza accord" it's a very well known incident among east Chinese, textbook of what not to do. Japanese they had no choice as they are not sovereign against USA but Chinese learnt from that and vowed to never let that happen.

Yeah, running secret police stations in foreign countries isn’t even remotely aggressive.

You are not serious if you bring to parity secret police stations with the below, plus bombing millions of people, installing dictatorships etc.

Or the Belt & Road bait and switch, which will deliver dozens of ports and potential military bases into China’s hands by grifting smaller countries in the global south, jerking them around with the terms of their loans. Regularly challenging and even ramming ships using international waters in the South China Sea. And “wolf warrior diplomacy” isn’t aggressive? Give me a break. Also, I haven’t even touched on the rampant aggression in cyberspace.

Belt and road at least gives some infrastructure to people who need it. On the contrary US spent trillions to Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria and elsewhere just to bring hell on earth and feed the MIC.
At best feeding dictatorships with petrodollars, zero positive contribution to the world, except lecturing them. And speaking of secret police, you are very audacious to bring it up, having CIA killing tenths of world leaders including yours.

Honestly, it is better for the world if Trump and his remaining acolytes can delude themselves into thinking this disaster is a victory, at least then they might actually take their toys and go home. This fool is so egotistical that he needs some sort of flimsy excuse to save face and justify this mother of all TACOs.

Was going to give my two cents on the geopolitical developments of the day/yesterday - but that's an awful lot of typing for maybe later. But, in electoral news, Republicans won the runoff to succeed Marjorie Taylor Greene in Georgia's 14th congressional district. Expected result, yes, but the final result shows the Republican winning by about 12 points. Why that's noteworthy is the district usually has a margin of victory of 30 points at a minimum.

Also should be noted the Democrat, Shawn Harris, improved over the combined vote share of all Democratic candidates in the primary. The split of Republicans to Democrats in the initial primary was 59.6% - 39.8%. The result of the runoff was 55.9% - 44.1%.

Thanks.

I love how you completely ignored my follow-up comment, “And don’t wax into whataboutism here, trying to say it’s less aggressive than the U.S. and therefore doesn’t count. That’s not the question that was asked — it was purely about China’s aggression,” and you immediately did exactly that. This shows that you are not serious.

Belt and road at least gives some infrastructure to people who need it.

Until China forces them to default and takes it all back for themselves.

The rest of your post was all more whataboutism, since you are apparently unable to discuss China’s issues in isolation — probably because they’re indefensible in isolation.

Not interested in continuing a discussion with you when you’re just going to pull your usual circular nonsense.

Aaaaand the ceasefire's dead:

محمدباقر قالیباف | MB Ghalibaf (@mb_ghalibaf)

Statement on the violation of three key clauses of the 10-Point Proposal (Agreed Framework) before the start of the negotiations

The deep historical distrust we hold toward the United States stems from its repeated violations of all forms of commitments — a pattern that has regrettably been repeated once again.

As the President of the United States has clearly stated in his Truth, the Islamic Republic of Iran's 10-Point Proposal is a "workable basis on which to negotiate" and the main framework for these talks. However, 3 clauses of this proposal have been violated so far:

1. Non-compliance with the first clause of the 10-Point Proposal regarding the ceasefire in Lebanon — a commitment that Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has also explicitly referred to and declared as "an immediate ceasefire everywhere, including Lebanon and other regions, effective immediately";
2. The entry of an intruding drone into Iran airspace, which was destroyed in the city of Lar in Fars Province, in clear violation of the clause prohibiting any further violation of Iran airspace;
3. Denial of Iran's right to enrichment, which was included in sixth clause of the framework.

Now, the very "workable basis on which to negotiate" has been openly and clearly violated, even before the negotiations began.

In such situation, a bilateral ceasefire or negotiations is unreasonable.

Except the secret police is not even aggression towards third countries in the sense of USA being aggressive therefore your preemptive attempt held zero weight.

Until China forces them to default and takes it all back for themselves.

There is no evidence that China would do that. As a matter of fact thousands of years of Chinese interactions with others, plus the way they handle their international affairs today point otherwise unlike a country in its infancy like US which inherited and learnt from the worst, British Empire.
A country which having encircle their adversaries oceans away still feels threatened and assumes that everyone would react as toxically against third countries as they do.

The rest of your post was all more whataboutism, since you are apparently unable to discuss China’s issues in isolation — probably because they’re indefensible in isolation.

There's absolutely no isolation in world politics and therefore no whataboutism. Your example was extremely weak and most probably a bad faith one, a usual attribute of yours, that made it irrelevant.

Not interested in continuing a discussion with you when you’re just going to pull your usual circular nonsense.

Judging from the quality of your secret police example, you have no arguments.

Pathetic. It’s like @____no5 is completely immune to words, and just blathers on down the same path regardless of what’s said to him. Completely useless wasting time on this guy, so I won’t.
