In unrelated news, the USS Eisenhower has moved about 1000km since last week, away from Yemen and towards the Suez Canal. Completely unrelated, I’m told.

The death of personal privacy happens not with a bang but with a whimper.

Camp David Accords? To shreds, you say?
All the complaints about supposed violations of international law that the US has made in the past really ring hollow now that Johnson has said the quiet part out loud: international bodies are designed to control the “impoverished, barbaric” Global East and South, not the “enlightened” Global West.
The NED is not the CIA (and the degree of inter-agency cooperation is likely not much greater than that between the CIA and NSA), but it serves the same purpose as an arm of the US intelligence apparatus. This is indisputable, as admitted directly by the founder of the NED.
IIRC with the pending fall of the Soviet Union (the primary counterweight to US influence) the US no longer saw a need for covertly influencing governments.
Usually not the biggest fan of bellingcat because they tend to be overconfident (and often wrong as a result), but when you have a surplus of information like in this case there’s little they can deny…
April Fools right guys? Haha… ha…
The US claims ETIM and Uyghur terrorists don’t exist.
Funny how ETIM is only a problem when it helps your argument. Otherwise, it’s “I can’t imagine why the Sea Sea Pea would do such a thing to poor innocent Uyghurs.”
The lack of terrorist attacks and mass shootings in China recently shows that whatever they’re doing, it’s working. China won the War on Terror.
China doesn’t typically intervene in clearly foreign affairs unless Chinese citizens are harmed. This is as true in Sri Lanka as it will be in Pakistan. Balochistan’s days are numbered.
Edit: isn’t it just a little odd that Russia, Iran, and Pakistan (but really China) just conveniently got hit by terrorist attacks in the first 3 months of 2024?
maintenance cost on F-35s are sort of absurd
tbh I’m not convinced that high-maintenance stealth aircraft will have a role in modern conflicts. The Russia-Ukraine war is highlighting the issues with over engineered Western weapons in sustained conflict. If you don’t dominate the opponent logistically, they’re impractical.
it’s funny how often it happens lol
Yes but it’s pro-Western and thus good
Reuters truly the “most factual” news site
Welcome to Poland
Haha no
I guess the US really likes protecting the rights of pedophiles…
