Untrue things people assume on me when I say my country has a right to defend my family and friends after nearly dying in a horrific massacre:

  1. That I think Palestinians are animals or lesser humans in any way.
  2. That I want people of other ethnicities to die (wtf is wrong with you?)
  3. That I think Jews were "chosen" and are somehow an elite (again, wtf?)
  4. That I am a blind supporter of my government (I went to 3 protests in Israel against Bibi just this year even though I live abroad)

It should be no surprise that authoritarians, autocrats & totalitarian regimes like #Iran #Putin #Erdogan #Xi etc… side with #Hamas #Hezbollah What’s stunning & gut wrenching, is how many #ProDemocracy (or so we thought) in the West, are engaged in undermining democracies & the West. #Oct7Massacre & #IsraelHamasWar has revealed levels of cognitive dissonance, previously ascribed to the Right, being surpassed by the Left. 🤯

#Putin by His Side, #Xi Outlines His Vision of a #NewWorldOrder
#China’s close ties w/ #Russia in countering #American dominance point to a #geopolitical rift that could shape the conflict between #Israel & #Hamas.

The ldrs of China & Russia hailed each other as “old” & “dear” friends. They took swipes at the #UnitedStates & depicted themselves as building a “fairer, multipolar world.”

"Putin has ordered the removal of restrictions on the work of minors in order to cope with a shortage of workers in an economy estimated by authorities to be in the hundreds of thousands.

The government and the Agency for Strategic Initiatives should consider "promoting employment and stimulating employment" of citizens aged 14 and over, according to a list of Putin's instructions published on the Kremlin's website."

this is not how these old people think.

#xi wants the Land as much as #putin : it may be not the best thing for #china, but the conquest of land, expecially if wrongfully colonized by a distant and barbaric foreign power, will make his name glorius in the next thousand years.

if there are not many Han is not important, it can be colonized like Tibet or Uyguria.

XI NO-SHOW / HEALTH SCARE

Xi looked frail before he was a sudden no-show at important BRICS meeting today.

Xí Jìnpíng 习近平 landed in South Africa on Monday for the 15th BRICS Summit. The leaders of Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa will meet in Johannesburg from August 22 to 24, although Vladimir Putin will appear virtually, to avoid obligating South Africa to arrest him because of International Criminal Court obligations.

Russia imported 30 times more drones from China than Ukraine - Politico

The amount of deliveries exceeded $100 million.

Also, according to the publication, exports of Kevlar for body armor increased by 69% to more than $225 million, while to Ukraine it decreased by 61% to just $5 million.

During the 17 months of the war, China sold to Russia, in particular, body armor, optical sights for thermal imagers and drones. All this is used in the war against Ukraine.

excerpts on #nuclear #warheads Russia has said it is moving to Belarus:

"God forbid I should ever have to take the decision to use them," Mr Lukashenko had said recently, adding, "But I won't hesitate to use them"

I remind him of those comments.

"Joe Biden could say the same thing, and Prime Minister Sunak," Mr Lukashenko replies. (cont.)
