as was predicted, the phrase "those who play with fire will eventually get burned" is the only thing anyone is picking up from the Biden-Xi readout, and it's being interpreted as China being the threatening bully and aggressor, not the US

Are there any examples in history where a kingdom or whatnot got whomped and it's inhabitants laughed at their king/whatever aristocrat for being an idiot? Besides records of people being executed or otherwise punished for such that is.

quote:

It is still possible that Pelosi wants to make a risky and dangerous move by trying to land at a Taiwan airport with emergency excuses like an aircraft fault or refueling, so the Chinese military patrols, radar detections and relevant drills should still keep at high alert in coming days, said analysts.

If Pelosi's plane really has emergency problems during her trip around China, the People's Liberation Army (PLA) aircraft can provide protection to her plane and let her land at airports in China's Sansha city, Hainan Province in the South China Sea, or other airports in the Chinese mainland which could provide professional services and assistance, as long as the speaker's plane stays away from China's Taiwan.

[...]


A Beijing-based expert on international relations who asked for anonymity said that if Pelosi really wants to go to Taiwan, she would not let the world know the details as she is clear about the danger and has noticed China's warning, so she has to be sneaky.

"Therefore, China will still keep the military preparations to stop any surprise move by Pelosi in the coming days, and this will give her no chance to challenge China's sovereignty," the expert said, noting that the crisis alert could only be switched off after the US House Speaker finishes her Asia trip and returns to the US.

Lü said Taiwan is a forbidden zone for Pelosi's plane, this is absolutely clear, so if her plane really has some emergency problems and has to land somewhere during her flight, "the PLA fighter jets in the region will provide her protection and bring her to China's airports in Sansha city, Hainan Province in the South China Sea or other places in the mainland. We can provide her world-class service and assistance, as long as she stays away from the untouchable red-line - landing in Taiwan."

Napoleon III in France. His regime was already shaky and he got himself captured by the enemy in a war:


quote:

The capture of the French emperor left the Prussians without an opposing government willing to make a quick peace. Commenting on the difficult situation, two days after news hit Paris of Emperor Napoleon's III capture, his wife said "why didn’t he kill himself?" The same day, a group of protesters stormed the Imperial palace and the French Second Empire collapsed in a bloodless revolution

Ouch.

I could see that happening if the cops get tired of enforcing poo poo without pay and decide to just let a non functioning Congress be removed in place of some sort of substitute government.

How long does anyone think it would take inflation to make paying cops more than the rich are willing to afford? Since inflation seems to be related to ceos not wanting to slash their balance sheets because it means they get less of the money printer, I could see that happening if they don't eventually decide to just delete a few zeros off their sums because it isn't getting them anything (unlikely).

It's pretty bad across the country, obesity also has gone up in recent years. I imagine it's due to lifestyle + dietary changes, but YOSPOS's resident eugenicist has chocked that up to eating gulab jamun.

The south has always been pretty heavily reliant on coconut oils and stuff like that, and punjab (the red in the north) tends to be a heavy ghee using state. The little red dots are mostly urban centers.

EXTREMELY PISSED AT THE DNC
China says it will not tariff 98% of goods imported from Afghanistan

quote:

Chinese State Councilor and Foreign Minister Wang Yi on Thursday announced that his country will grant zero tariff treatment to 98 percent of the tariff lines from Afghanistan, while also hoping to see more high quality products and specialties imported from the South Asian country.

China is ready to push for dovetailing the Belt and Road Initiative with Afghanistan's national development strategies, support the extension of the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor to Afghanistan and share China's development opportunities, Wang said.

Wang made the remarks while speaking to the acting Foreign Minister of the Afghan interim government Amir Khan Muttaqi on the sidelines of the meeting of the Council of Foreign Ministers of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO), which is being held in Uzbekistan starting Thursday.

Some trade developments between China and Afghanistan.
