I think Europe will fight (militarily) to defend Taiwan from China. Not to defend Greenland

Here is my prediction. If Donald Trump decides to take over Greenland, he will do so without military resistance.

On the other hand, if China tries to take over Taiwan, Europe will send troops to defend Taiwan and enter war along with the United States.

What do you guys think?

What's the estimate of Venezuelan exiles' return to their land?

I’m just wondering when the exiles will have the opportunity to travel to their homeland now that Maduro and Chavez are gone.

Jill Stein must be on the streets protesting imperialism

Has anyone heard from anti-imperialist Jill Stein? Is she on RT out Fox expressing disgust at Trump?

New York Times: Nobel prize Prize being given to warmongers

And less than a year after receiving the award, Abiy Ahmed, the president of Ethiopia, embarked on a scorched-earth campaign in his country’s Tigray region that left hundreds of thousands dead, wounded and starving. Henry Kissinger and Lê Đức Thọ were awarded the prize before a cease-fire to end the Vietnam War broke down, with Mr. Kissinger ultimately trying to return the prize amid a wave of protests. His North Vietnamese counterpart rejected it outright.

Let’s leave aside the fact that Corina Machado did nothing to promote peace. She protested the fact that Nicolas Mandura stole the elections from her That’s not peace. That’s pointing out fraud.

Now, after receiving the price unfairly, she doesn’t even want it, and is trying to give it to a man who stole Venezuelan oil and is going to steal the entire Greenland. The same guy who cheered the death of René Good.

Nobody should pay attention to the Nobel committee and the Nobel prize anymore.

Trump Approval Rating At Highest Point Since August, Despite Unpopular Foreign Interventions

Source: Forbes

Trump’s approval rating increased to 40% from 36% in December, while his disapproval rating decreased from 61% to 59% in the latest AP/NORC poll of 1,203 U.S. adults conducted Jan. 8-11 (margin of error 3.9).

Despite the improvement in Trump’s overall approval rating, the poll found a plurality of respondents (45%) want the U.S. to take a less active role in solving global issues, an increase from the 33% who said the same in December.

I think Trump has a deal with Putin

Don’t criticize or push back against Venezuela theft and you can have Ukraine. Also support me against Europe when I steal Greenland.

They want to split the world half and half.

More Latin American countries will be stolen. Not just Venezuela.

Alert: immigration repeatedly lying about people they kill trying to run them over with their car

Today ICE killed a US Citizen.
Predictably, they’re pretending she tried to run them over with her car. What’s the indication they’re lying?
Take the case of Marimar Miranda. An immigration officer said she tried to run him over with her car and so he had to shoot her multiple times. Turned out the body camera video showed he was the one who crashed into her car. Not the other way around.

DHS noted in a press release that Martinez had been armed with a “semi-automatic weapon.” Martinez and a 21-year-old man were charged with assaulting a federal officer with her vehicle, which was classified as a dangerous weapon. They faced up to 20 years in prison.

Then the case fell apart.

It turned out Martinez legally owned the gun, and her attorneys contended that video footage — from security cameras and body cameras worn by Border Patrol officers — undermined the official narrative. The videos showed a Border Patrol agent steering his vehicle into Martinez’s truck, rather than the other way around, her attorney said. Text messages showed the federal agent bragging about his marksmanship after the shooting.


This and more cases are discussed here.

U.S. says China's military activities near Taiwan "increase tensions unnecessarily"

Source: CBS News

Chinese war games around Taiwan "unnecessarily" spiked tensions in the region, the U.S. State Department said, calling on Beijing to "cease its military pressure."

"China's military activities and rhetoric toward Taiwan and others in the region increase tensions unnecessarily," Tommy Pigott, principal deputy spokesperson for the State Department, said in a statement Thursday. "We urge Beijing to exercise restraint, cease its military pressure against Taiwan, and instead engage in meaningful dialogue."

Dominican roof collapse vs. Swiss fire media coverage. The whiteness preference theory

both very tragic, sad events. one has gotten much more extensive, multiple day coverage, which willl easily extend to weeks.

230 dead in DR 50 dead in Switzerland

Tragedy in DR fizzled quickly.. coverage much less widespread and in depth in USA.

Tragedies coverage will be proportional to whiteness of people in said country.

Similar to the “missing white girl” syndrome well researched and documented.
