China has longer term geo-political concerns that span beyond a stupid sporting event no one except for the media and a few snobbish hipsters care for.Why do people think China is stupid enough to do anything that would ruin thier Olympic games?
No, China cares because they get to show off thier country more and try to bring in that tourism money.China has longer term geo-political concerns that span beyond a stupid sporting event no one except for the media and a few snobbish hipsters care for.
Oh?Tourism? The entire country is locked down.
Because they still think it is prestigious and civilized.Oh?
Then why are they so welcoming in bringing the Games there?
They are only locking down those who would say bad things duh
Olympics and similar events of international note are, for all commie countries in history, a massive show-off of the party's glory, for domestic and international purposes alike. That's what they care about. That's why they pursue opportunities to participate in, win and host such events so hard in the first place. If anything, for such purposes they care more than normal countries, because for normal countries it may well be a different party in charge when the event happens, there are private person/business achievements to be proud of, and so on.China has longer term geo-political concerns that span beyond a stupid sporting event no one except for the media and a few snobbish hipsters care for.
It gives the Chinese a chance to show they are the best, by hosting and winning at the games.Because they still think it is prestigious and civilized.
The only reason these idiotic Olympics are still a thing to begin with
Noted pinko commie russia fanboy Tucker Carlson weighs in on the situation in Ukraine again, in direct violation of the wishes of glorious Neocon Uniparty politbureau and Glorious Leader Best President Ever Brandon.
Considering the huge trucker strike at home, I'm not sure this is anything more than Trudeau attempting to distract from the truckers and thier protest.Canada has pulled all troops to Kiev.
For some reason people think that if a BN of Canadians were to be killed NATO would do nothing
I'm pretty well convinced at this point there will be no war unless Ukraine escalates in the Donbass-both the LPR and DPR have been saying this for at least a couple of weeks now is their expectation-or NATO does some obvious fuckery with Ukraine, like stationing combat forces or something.
Maybe, though having Russia move a lot of blood to the Ukrainian border isn't exactly a good sign. If it's an attempt at a bluff, it's sure as Hell an expensive one.
Outside of the media claiming it, there hasn't been any corroborating information and they are holding larger exercises in Belarus; training accidents are rather common, so it could also be a small supply for that purpose that has been blown out of proportion. Certainly the Ukrainians themselves aren't freaking out about it, and the Germans are not directly saying they don't see anything either nor has the United States shared any evidence with them.
