Posted in: Japan must strengthen NATO ties to safeguard global peace, PM says See in context
Reading the comments above it seems most are from people taken in by the media narrative about Ukraine. Note how there are almost never any articles which attempt to explain what has been happening over the last 30 years or even accurately present the Russian viewpoint. That is a feature of propaganda.

I'm starting to have those deja-vu feelings with flashbacks to the 'manufacture of consent' prior to the US invasion on Iraq. Back then it was all about fictious yellowcake from Niger, aluminum centrifuge tubes, anthrax and mysterious connections to Al Queda. Amazing to see history repeat again and again.

Taiwan is part of China according to the 1972 US - China communiques, this established the One China Policy which is still respected and supposedly adhered to by the US and most of the world. However the US has not adhered by to the agreement by continuing to arm Taiwan, interfering in Taiwan politics and establishing what is actually a de-facto embassy in Taiwan. If it all goes south from here, you now know who to blame.
