I'm pretty damn sure every single president of the US after Carter can be classified as a war criminal. IMO they should all be rotting in the same jail cells as the Nazis
Trump technically didnt start wars.
He ordered the assassination of Soleimani during a diplomatic mission in Kuwait for peace talks, which is perfidy.
Felt it was appropriate to post this on the eve of Dilma's inauguration:
Like an autocrat, the US alone dictates the rules of the World Bank:
The new heads of the World Bank ( of $82.1 billion) and the New Development Bank ($100 billion as its ) – Ajay Banga and Dilma Rousseff – represent false and real paths to development
Like an autocrat, the US alone dictates the rules of the World Bank:
In contrast, a new president of the BRICS Bank must receive approval from all 5 members in order to take office.
The World Bank nominee is shown to be a corporate suit experienced in exploiting the starving and poor:
As opposed to President Dilma, who pioneered Brazil's growth program and helped over 25 million Brazilians escape extreme poverty in the space of 8 years.
South Asian Research Newsletter(南亚研究通讯) post some words about the feelings about the differences in attitudes between China and India towards each other, which resonated with many people, including me.
South Asia Research Newsletter(南亚研究通讯) is a group formed spontaneously by young scholars and students studying South Asia in China. This account regularly updates the latest news in South Asia and selectively translates articles from local media.
Recently, I have concentrated on reading dozens of monographs, reports, papers, and comments on mutual attitudes between China and India. There are several interesting observations:
1. China is accustomed to being humble and concealing its power. Although it clearly has 90 points of power, it is only willing to admit 80 or even 70 points, fearing that exposing its power may lead to unnecessary suppression. On the contrary, India claims to have 80 or even 90 points, even though it only has 70 points, because pretending to be a giant can really get some "excess treatment", after all, some people really take that boasting seriously. Therefore, for some countries, bragging is not just the fame, but may actually enhance their strength.
2. There may be a 20 points gap between India's boasted national strength and its true strength, while China's claimed national strength may also have a 20 points gap with its true strength. One increase and one decrease, India, which has "expanded" to 80 points, and China, which has "shrunk" to 80 points, can be at the same level, and even India can surpass China... This explains why not only Indians habitually believe that China and India are equal, but the West is also accustomed to placing China and India in the same category.
3. Many Indian scholars and officials are dissatisfied with China. They believe that "China looks down on India". The essence of this issue is that India feels like it has 90 points, but China believes that India only has 70 points and is unwilling to pay for India's boasting in bilateral or multilateral settings. At the same time, the West, driven by geopolitical goals, is willing to endorse this self-proclaimed endorsement, with the aim of finding a seemingly "evenly matched" opponent for China. In this way, the whole world praises India, but only China does not appreciate it, so it can be imagined how much India dislikes China.
4. Many Indian scholars believe that the reason why China does not like India is that India has insufficient hard power, which is "bullying the weak". However, I feel that this statement is completely untenable. There are many countries with weaker power than India, but I haven't seen Chinese people mocking them. The fundamental reason behind this can still be explained by "personality differences": a person who is accustomed to being low-key and pragmatic may experience a genuine sense of disdain when encountering someone who makes a living by boasting.
5. This "personality difference" also explains why Indian scholars and officials always think that China is "insidious". Chinese people consider humility and understatement to be virtues, but Indians are puzzled: why are Chinese people not only not boasting, but also always covering up? There must be a bigger conspiracy behind this. In this situation, the more China speaks well and does well, the more suspicious and fearful it appears to India. Therefore, India always likes to make very specific interest demands on China, rather than overall directional demands, in order to grasp as many specific interests as possible in the absence of mutual trust.

To foster better understandings I think China needs to learn how to properly Jai Hind.
There's likely innate disdain for 'Jai Hind' lol, like they might kinda see it like how they view '爆发富'.
And Tbh, if you kinda look at it, the elite (rich and political) really is kind of a '爆发富'.
The Brazilian Government has just announced that it has finalized 15 bilateral trade agreements with China, valuing R$50 billion (69 billion RMB) including a satellite manufacturing partnership.
