vetoed by who else :^)

Putting my bets on UN being dissolved when WW3 happens.

Chances are that's not that far in the future either, with current Syria situation

With Turkey (being in the NATO) and Syria (backed by RU)

Should Turkey invoke article 5, shit will turn bad real quickly

Let's just hope the nukes stay out of that game

Anyways we're drifting offtopic here, afterall it's shit about Asia

HK is going down the gutter it seems

https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-china-50078248

Not even the parliament can govern normally anymore

Sad too, I wanted to go on vacation to HK at least once
Not gonna happen anytime soon

HK is fine but you can go to taiwan and get a better experience

or singapore

Singapore is also on my list, yes

@Magnius yep

the league of nations doing absolutely nothing in Abyssinia/Spanish Civil War effectively ruined the idea of collective security

as nobody wanted to compromise their interests and therefore the concept of collective security was useless and thus it had literally no power

Trust America to protect you <:alismirk:230784726615588865>

...and that's the modern UN in a nutshell

@Matthew Without America, WWII wouldn't be as over as fast as it was

No joke, US Lend Lease to Russia kept the pressure on the Germans and USAF bombing of Germany destroyed their industrial production

And then Imperial Japan attacked Pearl Harbor, effectively making the US join too

And then America dropped the nukes and created anime

You're welcome

NEVER drop TWO nukes on a country

Tears stream down Sauytbay’s face when she tells the grimmest story from her time in the camp. “One day, the police told us they were going to check to see whether our reeducation was succeeding, whether we were developing properly. They took 200 inmates outside, men and women, and told one of the women to confess her sins. She stood before us and declared that she had been a bad person, but now that she had learned Chinese she had become a better person. When she was done speaking, the policemen ordered her to disrobe and simply raped her one after the other, in front of everyone. While they were raping her they checked to see how we were reacting. People who turned their head or closed their eyes, and those who looked angry or shocked, were taken away and we never saw them again. It was awful. I will never forget the feeling of helplessness, of not being able to help her. After that happened, it was hard for me to sleep at night.”

>pork crisis

I've been tracking this for months now, neat to see it's finally starting to take a toll

China is lying about their economy they are definitely hurting more than expected

Communists? Lying about their state of affairs?

Craziness! Insanity!

What on earth is a "public struggle session"

Sounds kinky

Why are hijabs okay after 45?

Because even chinks see the value in not having to see ugly old women
