What this poorly written article doesn’t say clearly is that these are Burmese REFUGEES who have ran from the war-mongering military junta to India. India does not recognize refugees and have jailed them.
Happy cake day!
yes thank you for that.
I found this part interesting: ““We were unprepared for that kind of response,” Philippine navy spokesperson Roy Trinidad said in a phone interview on Thursday. “We stuck with the rules of engagement. They were not allowed to use guns except for self defence.””
So China created the conditions for this kind of confrontation by including non-use of guns in confrontations, similar to its border with India. And then proceeds to create this aggression with swords and spears. Philippines was too naive. China is escalating tensions there, taking things to the edge of sparking a hot war without having one.
Here are some pics of Chinese boarding Philippine vessels with axes swords and pointed weapons: (https://x.com/TeamAFP/status/1803423024449986581).
This kind of tactic is reminiscent of the Chinese style of combat on the border with India.

SMH. Is it any surprise how they got to be rich?
The interesting is that it was Pentagon and not CIA or NSA.
These people have lived all their lives on the seas for thousands of years roaming the seas in Southeast Asia hopping from island to island. Nobody’s restricted their movements till now.
If you think you’re outraged, wait till Serbia becomes a member!
Most people in the Burmese community refers to the country by the name Burma as well since the name change was done by the military junta.
Yeah let the great deflation begin.
And their crime was running from a war at home where their homes had been burned to the ground by a military junta.
A lot of money for poor refugee families who lost their homes to the war in Myanmar running from there and having no livelihood (likely was subsistence farming in the rugged hills of Chin state) no status in India to earn wages in India.
What a piece of shit. And this guy was running US foreign policy? Wow. Saudis must be regretting paying this man $40m a year to manage their billions.
Watch me delete X faster than you can say “money” Elon.
Funny thing is this kind of behaviour isn’t unique to Musk. A lot of entrepreneurs and CEOs seem to have similar kind of attitude. They want everything done cheaper faster and there’s no 2 ways about it. It’s their way or highway. If shit goes to hell it’s other people’s heads that roll.
If Tumblr doesn’t go too extreme in any of these directions, I can accept federation with them. My main gripe with interacting with corporations is that they likely want to dictate the rules of the Fediverse.
So I can tell you Tumblr’s policies are a copy of Instagram. It is even more conservative than gram. It doesn’t want any nudity or porn or even bikini pictures. Sees a nip through a shirt, gets shadow banned. They outright ban users for it. But their bots can’t handle porn bots. So average casual user/blogger will banned while porn bots proliferate.
Meanwhile, billions of narco money from golden triangle and their warlords and former warlords are living in Singapore as Singaporeans. This is just show.
