I was reading about the type 22 missle boat china deploys there using a catamaran design because it provided better foul weather performance vs unihulls so ima just insinuate that means it gets plenty stormy and maybe photographers have cracked the "taking pictures when the weather is nice" tech

remember when america would snatch other countries Muslims, ship them off to Arab countries where they would be mercilessly tortured then did nothing for them when it turned out they were innocent.

Weird how these reports appear just as the Chinese want to buy some semi-conductor company and part of a port.

i thought baizuo discourse died out when Covid happened and the right wingers trying to coopt it realized that the Chinese netizens that used that phrase also consider being anti lockdown a symptom of being a spoiled, pampered child

Well, this is baizuo discourse from an old Chinese guy. I think a lot of baizuo discourse from old Chinese guys is mostly just repeating Tucker Carlson ramblings as analysis for why the west is in decline.

The current schedule shows a possible launch on the 31st. There is an air control notice in place until the 1st of November, so that is the window.

Biden orders armed thug to take out america's 3rd-in-line for the presidency, thwarted when heroic socialist husband throws himself in harms way

had he succeeded he would have further solidified himself before this important show of party power next week

Experts suggest Biden' is facing a weakening of his grip on power shortly after the upcoming summit between America's two leading parties. Could this be why his third-in-line for the 'throne' was attacked?

Should China refuse to rule out a nuclear first strike if America's ruling 'Donkey Party' nominally loses its fast approaching referendum?

well, it's the strongest typhoon of the year (so far), and large parts of the country are underwater - let's see how the libs are doing:

quote:

Why are people expecting for Robredo and her supporters to help. Go run to your president.

quote:

Why do people keep looking for help from private citizens? What about the politicians they voted for?

quote:

It's a bit insensitive but can you really blame them?

quote:

Go ask the local government, President Marcos, and VP Duterte. Why are you looking for the person who isn't in government anymore?

quote:

PRIVATE CITIZENS aren't in no way obligated to help, go ask for help from the government you voted.

quote:

As much as I'd like to help the way I used to before, there are really some occasions when people need to learn the consequences of their actions...

quote:

You deserve the government you chose.

#WhereIsThePresident is trending. But you didn't vote for her. Back to Netflix!

In the US, when there is a disaster, the government is immediately relied upon. Not by the donation of private people. That should be the paradigm for politicians to be responsible.

quote:

Sorry to those people posting donation drives at me. This is my belief: Look to the government. You voted for those politicians to help you.
