The PRC launched a sudden live-fire exercise 40 miles south of Taiwan on February 26, likely as a coercive display of force. This exercise follows similarly provocative exercises near Vietnam, Australia, and New Zealand.

‘If the West doesn’t wake up to this reality [of the strategic, geopolitical war over critical minerals], it risks remaining extremely dependent on China, giving China insane leverage.’

Today we learned the UN doesn't consider Kfir and Ariel child victims in a conflict zone.

I wonder what it is about them that doesn't qualify?

胁迫失败归因于市场的调整能力。在这项研究的基础上，我们认为，虽然市场在澳中案例中适应得相对较好，但胁迫仍然产生了巨大且集中的地方成本，对澳大利亚各州经济产生了不同的影响。这给澳大利亚联邦政治带来了政治压力和不稳定影响，影响了在恢复贸易关系的双边谈判中对北京有利的让步。因此，本文以新颖的地缘经济和混合战争的框架为基础，为经济胁迫对民主国家的政治影响提供了新的见解。我们的研究发现表明，贸易武器化可以作为灰色地带/混合战争的有效地缘经济战略。

Thanks Annika Burgess for the interview and happy seeing my points re Trump's unlimited support for Israel included. I argue that Biden and his team still tried to force Israeli compliance with International and domestic US law in regards to MK-84 Bunker Busting bombs.

'The US must immediately grant emergency waivers to China-focussed nonprofits. If the US is not able to do this, governments around the world that value democracy, human rights, and truth must step in and find a way to restore funding to these organisations now,' writes @bethanyallen.bsky.social.

Hamas never wanted peace.

If they did, they would have accepted any of the two-state offers—1947, 1978, 1993, 2000, 2002, 2003, 2007, 2008, 2010, 2020. They rejected them all.

Hamas doesn’t fight for Palestinians. They fight to destroy Israel.
