All I can say right now is hurry the fu@k up already, is only so I can see that Ursula von the crazy finally be reduced to scream like the little bi?@h she is. Considering that she puts more value in horses then human beings, she seriously deserves to burn in hell along with the rest of those horse ride friends of hers

US is definitely trying to rope China into war. Well, US provoked the Ukraine crisis and raised interest rates to de-industrialize and hollow out EU so that capital and manufacturing go back to US. Guess what actually happened? They went to China instead. Now you tell me US isn't pissed. So now it's going to provoke China into a war so that global capital could actually go back to US. They tried to do that with Polosi visit despite warning from US military, but it ended up strengthening China's position in the strait.
It seems that US elites recognized the inevitability that China will surpass them, and is gambling that WW3 and human extinction is less likely than a weak US maintaining its hegemony. I think in the short term China might be in a bit of a pickle. If it retaliates by sending arms to Russia, it might piss off EU and redirect European capital back to US, which is what US wanted.
I thought the Mughal emperors issued bans on sati and especially forced sati too? (if anybody, Hindus are not grateful enough to Muslim rulers, who established the earliest secular justice systems there) As for the Thugee, yeah getting rid of one type of professional robbers doesn't seem like such a great accomplishment when you look at law and order in India today...
And yes, Churchill himself admitted that the people of India have no more in common with each other than the people of the equator. Putting them in the same country was truly bizarre and is the main reason why they still use English and think that they are Overseas Asian Americans/British to this day.
Qin Shihuang committed a lot of atrocities uniting China as a nation as well. I guess King George III and the succeeding monarchs are India's version of Qin Shihuang.

Why the "Uyghur law" won't work, today's case in point:

As far as I see it they would try for war in some form but they're also wary of taking direct conflicts.
No matter how US itself wants to spin it, China has escalation advantages in both Europe and Asia front. The only place they have higher initiative is South America.
Say whatever you want about Russian ineffeciency, culture of complacency etc. dragging out the war. 1 Russia alone that didn't use most of its own troops is still winning while the EU emptied its stockpiles into Ukraine and used all economical means.
Before the Ukraine war, it was believed that US had the escalation potential in Europe, but now the NATO economies and armies proved to be inflated.
If US overly invests into Europe front, China needs only to form a drone/ISR/artillery PVA that stays in the Russian rear to roll over the AFU no matter how much US tries to bolster it.
And some western copers think that China won't do this if it is advantageous to do, coping until the last that the Chinese government will do massive completely unforced errors and let the west fight Russia alone. The planners in Zhongnanhai are not stupid, the only scenario where Russia will be allowed to lose is if China could severely harvest Russia afterwards, where China judges that the increased control over Russia is worth temporarily reduced Russian power.
On the Asia front, if US wants to sling guns they can just invade Taiwan. The separatists are willing and ready. US isn't invading because doing so is too risky. There is only 1 possible way to invade Taiwan = full mobilisation and general draft. A SMO with 200 000 US troops and 2 CVBG will never cut it, trying so means a guaranteed humiliation and losing the rebel forces. But losing a war if US fully mobilized and drafted will mean the end of America as an unified country.
Therefore US is mainly trying to feel out what the borders are they can get away with without causing a direct war, because almost all war options are high risk and bad odds.
Is the CSTO article about to be triggered?

If Tucker was right why is India so bad today? Did Indians all mass revert to their natural ways as soon as the British got on their boats and left?
No, what's more likely is that the British failed in their attempts to civilise Indians, they just drove all their barbaric practices underground. All the infrastructure they built was great and better than anything the Indians could have built at the time, but it was to be used by a tiny elite, not the whole country.
Dude, you ought to be more circumspect with your commentaries on India. Sure, the leaders and some of the Indian folks can be quite grating with their super confidence about their country supposedly great at whatever subjects they cite.
I don't know what you learned, read, or perhaps intimately know about the country that's India, it's diverse of people, culture, religion etc. that you can confidently say with great confidence about India's supposed deficiencies.
We ought to debate any country we discuss here with a clear head and assess the countries respective plus and minuses with respect and not just view them, like India derisively.
