Some Guy TT posted:https://mobile.twitter.com/AndyKimNJ/status/1373282035633119233 Why does the US military spend millions training non koreans to speak the language (and having half of them fail not because the language is hard but because they didn't choose korean and don't give a gently caress) when there are a couple million koreans in the US who would at least have connections to the language and therefore some motivation? I am pretty sure it is so there is a supply of korean speakers who can spy on south korea...I am not sure that non koreans are any less risk for blabbing to NK.

Joyboy posted:you realize a lot of korean-americans don't speak korean right I looked it up, there are 1 million Korean-Americans who were born in South Korea. I figure most of them speak Korean. The number of non-Korean people who weren't born in Korea and are fluent in Korean must be close to zero.

including andy kim himself which makes the whole situation even more ridiculous dude didnt even want to go to korea they just went out of there way to tell him that it was against the rules because he might be a fifth columnist and of course all of this doesnt even get into the fact that in theory the united states doesnt have any competing interests with south korea literally the entire moral foundation of our continued occupation of the korean peninsula is that were only there because they want us to be there

That Cardi B article seem to be origined from the angle "must not acknowledge any good policy idea from the CCP", therefore anything coming out of China has to be explained by "good propaganda war effort" or "bad propaganda war effort". It paints a picture of guy who consumes too much twitter. Those "most popular English China tweets of the week" embedded after the article don't help either.

it’s interesting how Asian Americans are treated as interchangeable with Asians even on the forums you don’t see Italian American or more generally Euro-American discourse being tied to Europe for example

Throatwarbler posted:I'm (kind of) from Xinjiang and most of my (relevant) family still live there. NATO (Turkey) is currently arming and training tens of thousands of Uygur jihadists who have carved out an Al Qaeda state in Syria by ethnically cleansing Shi'ites and Christians. The ultimate goal is probably not to establish a Uygur homeland in Syria but to release them back in to China. A large part of the current repressive policies started/intensified right around when the Syrian civil war really kicked off - draw your own conclusions on that. Reminder that acab includes forum cops. Edit: though we seem to have changed from genocide to "religious/ethnic crackdowns" Junkozeyne has issued a correction as of 09:56 on Mar 21, 2021 |

 just on this page, we had someone suggest getting more Korean Americans in the military to help with the NK-SK situation, and then someone else posting some rando Twitter discourse about Asian Americans and meritocracylike i said, it's funny coz it's not like the UK thread has people bringing up "English-American" discourse

the idea that ethnic koreans might do a better job with korean diplomacy than random people of any other ethnicity isnt generalizing asians into an indistinct generic blob its literally the exact opposite of that and if you think gradenko posted those tweets because he agrees with the idea that asians have a special super education hive mind then you clearly do not have a good grasp of how this thread or cspam culture works in general

flavius you’re perfectly aware you are full of poo poo and doing some incredibly disingenuous poo poo, and have zero confidence engaging with the discussion because on some level you are aware how fuckin sad it is. no one can offer a contrary argument to the US state department, even when those arguments are offered in entirely good faith by people who have a much better familiarity with the subject than you

Since I monopolized this thread for some personal interests before, I should post this here as well. I went looking for the source of those comments Putin made about sleepy Joe and I assume it's from this stream https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cRmrLndjHWg I only watched the first thirty minutes of it since it's so dry and boring, no idea how much of this was scripted either. The whole thing seemed to be dedicated to talking about how Russia is involved in developing Crimea. There was a bit about volunteers restoring a museum of history. Restoring old temples/churches. Opening up a new hospital with the latest medical equipment. There was a lot of talk about how Crimea is historically important to Russia as the region where the first conversions to Christianity happened. Anyway, I haven't noticed this get mentioned before in the news. Russia obviously seems to care about presenting their claims on Crimea as legitimate and that the development and improvement of social services justifies this. Also Putin is still doing that kinda fash gotta go back to our glorious past thing.

looking at someone's actions and describing why they're dumb isn't "suggesting" or "encouraging" or "supporting" them if a historian says that hitler attacking the ussr was stupid does that mean he's actually lamenting nazi germany's defeat
