Wow, an #athlete from #belarus competing in #japan 's #tokyo #olympics has been granted #asylum in #poland after a *minor* #criticism of the #belarussian #government https://www.lotuseaters.com/belarussian-.. Just a little reminder that things over here in the #west are not so bad in the grand scheme of things... We have quite minor issues in comparison.
If you want direct evidence of growing #nationalism in #china under the #ccp - then look no further than #japan 's #tokyo #olympics https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-chin.. Anything less than #gold is seen as #failure - something that eventually occurs under #communism as any #ideology so strictly abided to eventually welcomes the #religious - who begin self governing and purity testing. *Watch this space: These are dangerous markers.* Consider yourself warned.
#china 's #ccp are *massively* scaling up their #nuclear #missile #silo construction: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z9_kwxNa.. This is straight after threatening #japan with nuclear 'consequences' if they interfere with #chinese interests in #taiwan ... Even #sleepyjoe #biden is waking up to the idea that China is a growing threat. I really suspect #wwiii is just around the corner unless something changes. This is really bad news for us all.
#china 's #ccp have #threatened the #uk after the #navy entered the #southchinasea on a #freedomofnavigation exercise en route to #japan https://www.lotuseaters.com/china-warns-.. They have warned that #british ships stay at least 12 nautical miles away from 'their' islands, despite the islands being entirely illegal to build in contested waters. Why on earth should we respect their claim to them?
Apparently the #uk 's #national #broadcaster the #bbc is experiencing #broadcast #blackouts due to #copyright issues during #japan 's #tokyo #olympics https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/help/issues.. Bare in mind, grabbing a physical radio will still work fine. What a wonderful new world we live in!
#china 's #ccp has gone completely off the rails: https://www.lotuseaters.com/china-threat.. They have threatened to #nuke #japan off the map if they dare intervene with #taiwan ... I think such actions would mostly bring the entire #us and #western #armies in for retaliation, as well as #us and #nato as compelled by #nato ... I don't believe they have thought about their words.
