▪️Along with a large and growing US military presence in Asia and other forms of political interference in the region, the US seeks to create a united front against China or destabilize the region to deny China's and Asia's continued rise;

A quick commentary on the "Piss Summit"
I might not be able to upload much more or do lives for a while

My Fellow Duranianss.

Yes, it's happened again. I have been assaulted by a vicious Malware Bot Virus or whatever 911 Socks is and this thing is bad !

Hope to see you all asap.
