lol, the UK is quickly falling appart, now they are resorting to Tyrannical means to keeps themselves going. V for Vendetta, here we come. UK, the consequences of your colonial days are now coming back to hit you in the nuts and China is going to finally have justice on one of the main culprits for the opium wars and 100 years of humiliation. Now all that is left is the Eagle (about to have its wings clipped) and the land of the rising sun (soon to be setting sun) and Chinas rise back to they original position in the world will thus be inevitable and no one will dare to look down on China ever again. Thus naughty little bast@Ed’s are going to get it
rudd is a wolf in sheep clothing. Nothing less.
Chinese must treat germany warily as it is acting in bad faith.
Canadian need to learn to keep up with their US masters, US fabricate half a dozen allegations every week without skipping a beat, report it as it is some kind of done and shut cases and then shuffle it behind the closet before anyone notices its lack of actual bite on closer inspection.
Yet, these Canadians couldn't coordinate enough to fabricate a simple "OMG Election Interference!!!111" allegation without tripping over themselves, absolute embarrassments to their Anglo heritage and tradition.

On the other hand, it seems that some Europeans are waking up from their stupor:
If you play politics too much before the game, you will lose.

For those who believes the American will build more bases in the Philippine, Enhanced Defense Cooperation Agreement (EDCA), which the US and the Philippines signed in 2014, would expire in 2023.
According to Ambassador Goldberg, the goal of the EDCA is to "promote peace and security in the region." While outlining new defense-cooperation measures, the agreement also allows for the United States to respond more quickly to environmental and humanitarian disasters in the region.
Designed to supplement the 1951 Mutual Defense Treaty and the 1999 Visiting Forces Agreement, the EDCA reaffirms mutual cooperation between the United States and the Philippines to develop their individual and collective capacities to resist armed attack by: improving interoperability of the two country's armed forces, promoting long-term modernization, helping maintain and develop maritime security, and expanding humanitarian assistance in response to natural disasters.
The agreement allows for U.S. forces and contractors to operate out of "agreed locations," which are defined as: "facilities and areas that are provided by the Government of the Philippines through the (AFP) and that United States forces, United States contractors, and others as mutually agreed". The Agreement hands over all operational controls of these "Agreed Locations" to the United States, and allows U.S. forces to pre-position and store defense materiel, equipment, and supplies. The Agreement makes clear that this materiel cannot include nuclear weapons.
The EDCA is effective for an initial period of ten years, and thereafter, it shall continue in force automatically unless terminated by either Party by giving one year's written notice through diplomatic channels of its intention to terminate the agreement (Article XII, Sec. 4 of EDCA). While the US forces may exercise operational control, put troops and equipment, construct facilities, and be accommodated in certain agreed locations, the Philippines shall still retain ownership of the agreed locations (Article V, Sec. 1 of EDCA). Importantly, the United States is not allowed to establish any permanent military bases, and must hand over any and all facilities in the "agreed locations" to the Philippine government upon the termination of the agreement.
The agreement also stipulates that the U.S. is not allowed to store or position any nuclear weapons on Philippine territory.
Word seems to be that this is true and the Americans are pretty pissed. Apparently they didn't get much notice....
Also, rumours that Erdogan will be meeting Assad in Moscow pretty soon.
Of course they would. The Turks blew up the US oil fields in Northern Syria. Where are they going to get their annual bonus check now?
