Argentinian coast guard cutter sank two Chinese fishing vessels which were operating in a restricted area within Argentine territorial waters. The vessels themselves, directly, and China's government have been repeatedly warned to stay out of those waters. Same thing is happening around the world, but in particular on the Pacific coast of South America. At times over 400 Chinese fishing boats have ignored warnings, ignored international calls to cease the illegal fishing and have defied sanctions. Up to now navy and coast guard ships from the various countries, along with occasional support from US Navy vessels, have chased away the fishing fleets with "brush by" passes, shooting flares over the Chinese vessels, using loud speakers to demand they leave, etc. Now as the new fishing season begins in that part of the world (it's soon to be summer down there). Argentina in particular announced they have tired of the nonsense and will take more tangible action, like seizing the boats, arresting the crews, etc. This is what their cutter was trying to do when two of the Chinese boats headed straight at them with an apparent attempt to ram the cutter. This designed to allow the rest of the fleet to escape back into international waters. The Argentines weren't playing and opened fire on the two approaching vessels, sinking both. There were 50+ crew members between the two vessels and reports say they all survived and were picked up, most of them by other Chinese vessels. A captain and 6 Chinese fishermen were plucked from the water by the Argentine cutter and taken into custody.

The Chinese have, of course, filed a formal protest demanding the incident be investigated by the international maritime board, a department of the UN. The Argentines silenced the Chicoms though by announcing they have already asked for a formal hearing from the board saying they have years of video evidence of the repeated violations and the steps they have taken to try to avoid any violence. Now the Chicoms have switched to demanding the safe return of those arrested and saying nothing more about the real issue.

This crap has been going on for years, decades really, the rest of the world has tried to avoid any kind of incidents. Trying to play nice only encourages bullies. All nations need to make one more clear and concise statement that any foreign vessels caught in restricted waters will be sunk on sight...period.

One American military pundit says Taiwan needs an update in their equipment and he estimates that will take about $20 billion. The Taiwanese main battle tank is the Vietnam War-era M60 tank. Yes, they have been updated, improved, armor enhanced, improved electronic targeting, and improved weapons, including the main gun. But, there is only so much you can do with such older equipment to make them worthy on today's modern battlefield. That has been readily demonstrated by the Russians with their T-72 tanks and all the attempts to update them. They are deathtraps for their crews on the modern battlefield. Taiwan needs modern tanks and fighting machines, and more of our latest artillery and missile systems. They are fairly well suited with their fleet of F-16s and modern attack helicopters. But their ground forces are in need of updating.

Biden will meet with China's President Xi next week in California, that's the People's Republic of California ruled by the dick-taker, er, dictator Gavin Newsom...

In a separate report (Newsweek) appears the Chicoms are really reeling with a collapsing economy and will seek economic aid and bail-outs from the US. They can start by asking the Biden Crime Family to send back the $millions they paid them. At this weeks' Canton Industrial Convention, western attendance was down 80%. Well, western countries and Japanese and other regional nations refused to attend. A result of the bullying and threatening behavior of the Chicoms. This is a huge economic event annually for Chinese businesses and industries. Oh well...

Now reports are the Chicoms are threatening to cut off exports of critical REMs (Rare Earth Metals) to the US and other western nations. This can be a disaster if true. So! here's an idea, why don't the Chicoms back off of their bullying tactics and play nice in the sandbox with the rest of the world.

Chicoms threatening to intervene in neighboring Myanmar's civil war. This internal conflict has three separate factions, who don't like each other, bonded together in a coalition, called the Three Brotherhood Alliance, against the ruling junta, a military form of government. The sitting president has stated the only solution may be to dissolve the country in favor of splitting it into three independent nations. The danger from the Chicoms is they only support one of the factions, and international observers fear a Chinese invasion and the placing of their friends into power. This would not settle the civil war, only escalate it. The Chicoms have moved substantial forces to the border with Myanmar.

Chicoms add graphite to the list of minerals they are cutting off to the US and some other western countries. Better stock up on pencils while you can. More importantly graphite is used in a lot of electronic applications including some military equipment.

Here comes China Virus II...coming to your community, just in time to affect the 2024 election.

Chicoms steal more territory from a neighbor. With a blatant disregard for national borders and a nation's sovereignty, China has struck again. This time with their very tiny, and powerless, neighbor of Bhutan. A small country nestled in the Himalaya Mountains. China has been negotiating trying to buy this land from Bhutan, but the Bhutanese have expressly replied they are not interested, no thanks. Their nation is tiny, and every square mile is precious and important to them.

So, the criminal regime in Beijing decided if they won't sell it to us, we'll just take it, and they have. In a matter of less than 2 months the Chicoms have constructed a major road and now are building houses and industrial/business sites with plans of relocating Chinese people there. When the Bhutanese expressed anger and called on the Chicoms to abandon the project and vacate their territory, Beijing responded, well, will you sell the land to us now? Bhutan has no army, they barely have a police force, and the world is not going to go to war to preserve Bhutan's sovereignty.

The Chicoms have been seizing territory all over Asia and in southeast Asia in the form of islands and international waters and thumbing their noses at the world, knowing the pacificists in the west will not do anything to contest these "small" land-grabs. The single largest land-grab was from Russia earlier this year. The Chicoms have seized a huge chunk of Russia, and despite cries from some in Russia to not allow this, the weakened Putin has cowered in the corner, knowing full well his depleted military could do nothing to eject the Chicoms from that area. Heck, Putin probably accepted equipment, supplies, and ammo in exchange for the land...but after the fact. Just like Bhutan will now do given they have no recourse, so might as well allow the Chicoms "to buy" the occupied territory because they are not getting it back.

Xi and his Chicom thugs are bullies! The other day Chicom navy vessels used water cannons to drive Filipino fishing boats away, when they were in international waters. The Filipinos know they can't take on China alone in a war, and they have no confidence the west (which includes Japan too), will stand with them in a shooting war with China. None of this was happening like this when Trump was president. Japan and Australia would probably be willing to stand with The Philippines in a war with China IF they thought they could depend on the US to stand with them. With the compromised Biden in the WH, beholden to the Chicoms for the $millions paid to the Biden Crime Family, no way can anyone count on the US against China.

BRICS set to admit 14 more nations in 2024. Of these the two most alarming are Thailand and Vietnam. The others are either not significant, or no surprise, like Cuba. About 6 months ago Vietnam declined an invitation to join BRICS, but now here they go. Like the rest of the world Vietnam has lost confidence in the USA, that we will continue to be the world leader in politics and economics. Most of this (practically all of it) is Joe Biden's fault, plus the weak-azz GOP who twiddle their thumbs and allowed the 2020 POTUS election to be stolen.

The Chicoms are driving this as they continue in their plans to dominate the world by 2050. Heck, with the way the US is declining, it'll happen way before 2050.

[dawg80]

The US officially has its smallest military in 80 years...thanks to Biden. Just like under obummer the military has been gutted at a very dangerous period...well, actually, things get dangerous in the world when the US's military shrinks, happens every time; just look back in history. Meanwhile China's military has never been bigger or more modern than it is right now.

Ruling party candidate Lai Ching-te won the presidential election in Taiwan, vowing to maintain the status quo of Taiwan independence. The Chicoms, like a big gorilla, were beating their chests leading up to the election saying the weakass candidate supporting reunification had better win "or else." Well, the Taiwan people have spoken, they want independence from the commies. So, is war imminent? We shall see.

I have been banned from one political blog for daring to tell the truth about "COVID-19" as I referred to it as what it is, the China Virus. I was warned that such "racist" language would not be tolerated. After serving a month-long suspension, they contacted me restoring posting privileges to which I immediately posted about what I am about to post here. Needless to say, I have been banned from that site. Oh well...

The Chicoms did produce the virus, known as COVID-19 in their lab at Wuhan. Whether they purposely released it, to see its effects, or if at that time it was accidently released is really irrelevant. Once released the Chicoms knew what they had and purposely managed it to try to protect its own population and to allow it to spread to the world. This has been proven. And, it is also true, again with proof, that the Chicoms have not missed a beat continuing to experiment with and develop a virus that can be weaponized for release on the world. The Chicoms claim, now that they have been caught "red-handed," they are only developing killer viruses so they can develop vaccines against them for "the sake of the world." Wow, how nice of them. Since these viruses are man-made, and most scientists say cannot occur naturally, then by simply not engineering killer viruses no vaccines against them would be needed.

Based on what we know, the Chicoms are getting close to creating a deadly virus that can be weaponized. When that happens and they also have a vaccine that works, watch out! The Chicoms will vax themselves, all their political elites, plus their military, plus any important people like medical staff, engineers, industry leaders, etc...and enough of their population to survive a world-wide epidemic and then release the killer virus. If I were in charge, I would make sure all of our key military personnel, especially those with their fingers on the triggers of our nukes, have protection against any kind of biological warfare, and assure the Chicoms, at the first sign a killer virus was indeed sweeping across the planet, for them to bend over and kiss their sorry asses goodbye! I would tell them, it wouldn't matter if this killer virus was their fault, our fault, or nobody's fault they are toast!

COVID-19 was a China Virus, period. That is not racist, it is just the simple truth.

Ever grande has been ordered to liquidate. This is going to have a bid ripple effect through Wall Street, the question is how much. Lots of Chinese millionaires and billionaires are about to be broke.

Meanwhile, the Chicoms continue to gobble up Russian territory, recently laying claim to the whole of Bolshoi Island, much to the surprise and anger of Russian officials. The arrogant Chicoms presented officials in the Russian Embassy with an updated map showing the island now Chinese territory. Guess if you publish a new map, it makes land grabs okay! Other nations in the region expressed angst against this blatant, illegal seizure of land and expressed concerns over islands they currently hold. If they are not checked, the Chicoms will continue to take what they want.

The FBI's counter-espionage division has shut down Chicoms' attempts to hack many key computer systems across the nation, designed to interrupt critical infrastructure functions including water treatment plants, hospitals, traffic control, and a host of other targets. According to reports, the FBI lured the Chicoms hackers into a "trap" catching them and stopping the hacks. The owners of these systems were not informed because of the time-constraints of the mission, but will all be notified so they can take steps to better protect their systems.

The Senate passed the $95 billion aid package meant for Israel, Ukraine, and Taiwan, but it is likely to fail in the House, at least in this form. But, setting that aside for a moment, I find it curious that folks are saying the money will come via a loan from China...so! that means we go to China, borrow $billions, and then hand some of it over to Taiwan for their defense against China! Thanks China for funding your "enemies." It's a strange world.
