I bring this up mainly because of the difference in how the two sides react to certain accusations.
Even young children in China question information from the media, while in the US, a large group of highly educated people repeat baseless accusations like a flock of parrots, and when anyone tries to correct them, they simply label them "wumao" to end the conversation.
It’s not just the children, western Anglo centric culture encourages ppl to be emotional, dumb and stupid, just look at the comments to that tweet on a Chinese modular phone and see how jealous, vindictive and asinine a lot of the western commentstors are. Remember that these are the same culture and ppl that endorsed the white Australia policy and China exclusion act,
In that part of the world, in a different time, this phenomenon would be interpreted as a bad omen.
and indeed, war drums are indeed beating….for turkey.
personally, I am rather sanguine about this impending conflict, Turks under erdog have encouraged ETIM and Uighur separatism so watching them go up against an equally detestable state like Zionist Israel, in Syria would be popcorn worthy.
