. The capital was briefly called Nur-Sultan, which is the first name of the former president (Nazarbayev). I thought it was rather presumptious of the former president to name the capital city after himself. Now it's back to Astana.

Good, Nur-Sultan was cringe af - imagine if Xi renamed Beijing to Jin-Ping, lmao.

Trump opponents always say that he is the emperor with no clothes. I beg to differ. I think he is the little boy.

I call Trump the lazy little boy.

Many people think Trump is stupid, but I think he is actually rather intelligent. He is just too lazy to bother thinking much, to picture the consequences of the consequences of his actions -- like the trade war with China. Can you imagine him playing chess and looking several moves ahead? I can't.

Trump acts impulsively, without thinking. Or demands that others do the heavy thinking for him. The latter isn't very surprising, as he was born rich: he always had servants leaping to satisfy his every whim; he never had to do much himself.

The scary thought is that Trump is probably one of the best of the US aristocrats. The others are just as lazy, just as egotistic if not even more so, and probably a whole lot dumber.

Technically Tokayev renamed the original capital, not Nazarbayev (as a sign of loyalty of course).

He resents what he describes as Germans again being caught in the middle of what he sees as a struggle between Washington and Moscow.

The sanctions "haven't ended the war, and they haven't weakened Russia substantially," he said. "At the same time, they have really hurt Germany enormously."

Meanwhile, he said, "the Americans are watching on comfortably."

These Germans will never think about why flights need to increase going south.

"THAAD is one of the biggest problems between China and South Korea. China opposes the US using South Korea's territory to threaten China's national security and thus affect bilateral relations with Seoul. I think the Yoon administration has received China's solemn position," Lü Chao, an expert on Korean Peninsula issues at the Liaoning Academy of Social Sciences, told the Global Times on Friday.

Regarding the issue of THAAD:

South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol told Li Zhanshu, China’s top legislator, that he doesn’t want a US-made missile shield deployed by Seoul to become “an obstacle to relations” after Beijing slammed its use.

Turkey Seeks to Be First NATO Member to Join China-Led SCO​

Turkey is seeking membership to the China-led Shanghai Cooperation Organization as President Recep Tayyip Erdogan attempts to forge alliances with friendly countries in the East.

Erdogan made the announcement after attending the SCO summit in Uzbekistan on Friday where he held talks with leaders including China’s President Xi Jinping and Russian President Vladimir Putin. A successful bid would make Turkey the first member of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization to join the bloc.

“Our relationship with these countries will be moved to a much different position with this step,” Erdogan said about the SCO when he spoke with reporters in the city of Samarkand where the summit was held, according to Turkish state news agency Anadolu.

His remarks on Turkey’s potential bid to join the SCO came as Erdogan sought, but could not yet secure, a one-on-one meeting with US President Joe Biden during the General Assembly of the United Nations in New York, according to people familiar with the matter.

Some clarifications on so-called Western "Christianity"

"Jesus" was a secondary character throughout the history of Christianity as an West imperial religion (400/600-1960)

In agrarian societies when Christianity was the masking mask of power ... "Jesus" was held up as an example of obedience and quiet suffering.

But anyone with historical interest can see that this "Jesus" was denounced by the priestly aristocracy and local allies of Rome and the Romans killed him as one kills a rebellious slave.

the so-called "Christianity" (400/600-) is a colossal lie.

And the matter is even funnier seen from say Vietnam or North Korea because the brotherhood of the Nazarene were communists (Acts 2,44 and 4,32)

and not only were they communists, which is more or less the least of it, but they were very radical communists (Acts 5, 1-5)

You know i always curious to know where the hell was jesus from age 12 to 29, some say he travelled to india to learn from yogis and meditated in tibet lol

hmm Taiwans defence seems to be disposing itself on schedule for the reunification. The USA must honestly think they can fight a war on multiple fronts when fighting One is already screwing with all their reserves to the extreme and that of Europe for that matter
