The Taliban can't do poo poo to China without Russian arms and cash IMO, and Putin doesn't want to rock the boat with his fellow tyrants.

I won't quote the whole thing this time: https://www.theglobeandmail.com/world/article-china-welcomes-taliban-rule-in-afghanistan-even-as-beijing-remains/quote:China welcomed the Taliban takeover of Kabul as the “will and choice of the Afghan people” this week, as state media relished in Washington’s humiliation amid the botched United States withdrawal from Afghanistan. yeah, ok... quote:

Confirmed. Clinging onto the landing gear and/or wings of a departing plane is a known CIA technique, or tradecraft if you will, as noted in insider documentary Mission Impossible

Sort of makes you wonder why there had to be a rushed last-minute evacuation, if there were public press releases on which way the wind was blowing.

Intelligence telling politicians what they want to hear. They could be in Kabul in 90 days  And also we never gave a poo poo about evacuating anyone. It is Foreign Office excuse #4 - well there's something we could have done but it's too late now (from this hit basically-documentary - https://youtu.be/HSD1d-6P6qI)

The Japanese had a saying, Chon demo baka demo, my memories hazy but it meant something was so easy even a Korean or an idiot could do it, it's not something you hear anymore.

I'd say a huge factor is air quality from China. Those new powerplants China built on the shore that basically vent straight into Korea and the yellow dust problems.

I find myself unable to believe that the people of Korea could hate anyone more, on average, than the Japanese. I mean, even if directly presented with overwhelming evidence. It simply does not compute.

bob dobbs is dead posted:hatin japan is one of the things that legitimately has a millenia-long history on koreas part but the kpop peeps never hated the jpop peeps, the main barrier is language skills i have seen Koreans protesting outside a Japanese consulate in United states, lots of emotions and every Korean grandma and grandpa angrily shouting and waving their signs. I forgot what it was about. Then i got into the elevator, the white dude next to me in the elevator said something about "ah, angry crowd outside". Then I made a joke to him that "I am Chinese, the only people who hates the Japanese more than we do is the Koreans, thats one thing we have in common" - i thought it was funny but they didn't proceed to say anything. I gotta modify my bit now though, not that it was funny before, but at least somewhat true. feizhouxiongdi2 fucked around with this message at 20:09 on Aug 20, 2021 |

I know little of the dynamics of national hatreds in East Asia, but I'd guess it boils down to the Japanese being absolute giga-dicks like a generation ago, while the Chinese are being pretty big dicks right now.

I dunno
