People need to keep a close eye on China, Russia, North Korea and Iran. They are working too close together, with not so nice intentions. In China's case, Biden might be willing to take a wait and see role with China regaining the territory that they call Formosa. But if they get away with that, then there are other countries that will be at risk. China has attempted to claim the whole of the China Sea as their own. even up to the very shore line of other countries. They have built fake islands and put bases on them in an effort to claim larger chunks of the Pacific Ocean and China Sea. They had even reclaimed sovereignty over islands that they had ceded control over through previous treaties. China is a threat to the safety and security of the Orients.
All races are naturally racist. Racism is God-given instinct to reject that which is foreign so kind will produce kind [God's first command of creation.] Today, evil cultural marxists make draconian laws to try to FORCE race-mixing which was the grave sin that brought down the wrath of God on the evildoers in the "days of Noah." There is no equality in God's creation... among individuals or groups. Each diverse creature, species, race, sex has its specific role. Today, evil cultural marxists who try to FORCE equality are destroying inspiration, creativity, drive and innovation and the result is weak perverted regression into mediocrity or worse. The entire Bible from Genesis to Revelation is a story about God's relationship with one race, Aryans, and one people, Israelites, who God raised up, separated from all other people, symbolically married and gave His law for them to administer in their nation. The descendants of those ancient Israelites became Christians and become the nations of White European Christendom. Bible prophecy tells us that at the end of the age God's holy people will be oppressed [Daniel 12:7] and targeted for destruction by their enemies [Rev 12 & Rev 20:7-9]... but in Christ, God's White European Christ-bearing people will be victorious over all their enemies. .
And it will be a just good ol' fashioned aircraft carriers, F16's, F36's, cruise missiles, marines, forward island bases, submarines... the works right back to us. And since Australia is one of the five eyes, and close to China, I'd be a little worried if I were you. You have to look at it this way. China sees Taiwan as part of China. In case of war, they will be defending what they consider their people and lands from a foreign occupier who has no business being in the Far East. To us, a war over Taiwan would be to keep a competitor from gaining ascendancy. Who do you think will fight better, us or China? It's Hip, Hip Hooray For Our American Way My fervor is all over from China to the Middle Sea. I'm here and there and everywhere as you can surely see. For chaos is my middle name, and which I'm proud to say, to those who aren't in the know it's called the American way - Jeannette
Who belongs to God, and who does not belong to God depends on the condition of a person's heart. The purer the heart and the greater the love within it, the more Grace God gives them. Skin color has nothing to do with it, nor a person's intelligence. You're thinking of social and political issues, and in that I don't disagree with you completely since I do like ethnic and cultural diversity. Only that you're equating it with God, and trying to find rationale for your personal beliefs in the Bible - and that can lead to a lot of misinterpretation.
And who on this planet gets to define "pure"? Oh, you just did in your post... so obviously it's YOU ! Whether you realize it or not, you think from a humanistic cultural marxist point of view... NOT God's Biblical point of view. In other words, yours is a humanistic false god To understand the God of the Bible... one must read and understand the Bible. As if I needed more proof... most posters on forums like this or any type of social media... never cease to provide more proof that we are at the evil end of the age... teetering on the very end. .
'Their people', what a joke. It was 'their people' in Hong Kong too - that's why they crushed the demonstrators. But I know where you are coming from. Maybe next China will start 'defending' their people in Malaysia and Phillippines. I think it's time that Japan, Taiwan, Sth Korea etc all had their own nukes. The US should look the other way over this issue - just like China did with North Korea.
My Creator God is that of the Orthodox Church as defined by the Saints and Fathers who didn't just speak of God, they experienced God, and lived within His realm as well as in this world.. I know Saints personally, and I know their heroic virtues as well as the gifts and charisms that God gives them. It was the Saints who compiled the Bible and discerned which writings are truly the Word of God, and it is the Saints who interpreted the Bible as well. If you accept their enlightenment by the Holy Spirit in compiling the Bible, then you have to accept that they were equally enlightened in interpreting the Bible as well. You can't accept one and not accept the other. When one defines and interprets the Bible in ways that will glorify themselves, it is not Christianity where humility is a perquisite, it is paganism.
The demonstrators in Hong Kong were led on by the NGO's supported by George Soros' Open Society Foundation. His NGO's have been kicked out of many countries for their regime change actions. Fighting corruption is usually his calling card for protests so he can overthrow legitimately elected officials. Frankly I can't understand why China allowed those NGO's in Hong Kong. I thought they were smarter than that. But those people are not Chinese, so why would China want them as part of their world - unless we're projecting our own actions towards foreign countries and assuming China will do the same. Then again, China does infiltrate economically into other nations, especially if they have been devastated by us. But it's all for the Road and Belt project. They are shrewd. Right! They should all self destruct - through our instigation of course. Fight and strife is my name and chaos is my game. I gear them all to kill and maim and then covertly flip the blame to you. So even though I am insane, and only think of my own gain, there is no shame. It's in your name and there's nothing you can do. - Jeannette
No, absolutely not. You insult the many Westernized, progressive, free loving people of Hong Kong by claiming they are puppets of George Soros. Best most of the Hong Kong people have never heard of Soros. And there's plenty of Chinese in the SE Asian nations I mentioned. Like Uncle Putin, our emperor Xi might want to save these Chinese, particularly if they start getting treated as they are in America.
Of course they haven't heard of George Soros, but it doesn't mean his Open Society Foundation isn't funding the NGO's that are causing the problems. As for your so called Westernized, progressive, free loving people of Hong Kong, are they in the majority? I doubt it! I say this, because they're usually a small minority. I recall reading that one of the so called protesters, actually set a nationalist Chinese man on fire. It's one thing to want to save indigenous people who are living on their own lands like the Chinese in Hong Kong and Taiwan, as well as the Russians in Crimea and Ukraine, and another thing to use it as an excuse to invade other nations - as we have done to break up Yugoslavia, as well as destroy Iraq, Libya and Syria. You're assuming things because we do it. It's called projection. You realize that if there's a war in the Far East, Australia won't be spared.
NGO's did not drive the protests about the takeover of Hong Kong. China drove the protests by violating its agreements with England. If there's a major war in the Middle East, say a unified attack upon Israel coming from Syria then the whole world could know about it, such as nearly happened in 1967 and 1973.
There is a certain badassery to being the only country on China's 'we'll nuke you even though you dont have nukes' list. China apparently is still scared of Japan 80 years later.
Japan really has quite the history of attacking China. They were and maybe still are pretty good at fighting and never scared of the bigger fights
Japan did some truly evil things in China. But no one involved in that is still alive today. You'd think in the modern age that would matter...
sadly, it appear the country will not It seems clear Trumpism has set the wheels in motion to eliminate democracy.
Democracy is a scam by the Richman to make us think we have a say in things. Did our glorious peoples leaders ever let us vote against their perpetual wars? No!
Millions of Americans and hundreds of American anti-war organizations opposed getting involved in WW2. Ironically, one of the biggest groups was called the "America First Committee" ["America First" was their slogan... so it didn't originate with Trump.] You don't hear about that because the winners get to write the history. .
But if people don't know or recognize what they did, then they perceive themselves as being victims and it arouses hatred towards the people they persecuted. I see that with the Turks. They hate the Christian Armenians, Greeks and Assyrians that they had persecuted because they feel that they are victims of their lies and propaganda. I can understand though nations not wanting to pay reparation, and it really shouldn't be expected because then it just arouses more animosity and no one gains from that.
Nor do you hear much about Nazi sympathizers who supported Hitler, mainly because it's not that relevant to most discussions of the war. But it's not like these facts are in any way concealed. You like to imagine the world is full of grand conspiracies, but it just isn't so. It's full of petty little conspiracies that don't amount to a hill of beans.
