China Holds Massive Military Drills After Taiwan’s President Vows to 'Resist Annexation' w/ KJ Noh

The Chinese Military held a series of drills around the island of Taiwan this week, noting that they were meant to serve as a “stern deterrence to the separatist acts of Taiwan independence forces.” The exercises notably came days after Taiwan’s new president gave a speech, in which he vowed to “uphold the commitment to resist annexation,” and said his mission was to “stand side by side with democratic countries.”

Geopolitical Analyst KJ Noh noted that the speech from Taiwan’s president sounds like it was written in Washington, and it’s yet another reminder that while the U.S. claims to support the ‘One China Policy’ (which states that Taiwan is a part of China), that hasn’t stopped Washington from gearing up for war with Beijing, using its proxies in Taiwan.

This is Middle East Eye interview with Ross Harrison .

Video description:

Why can't the US and Iran reach a ceasefire deal?

Over a month into the US-Israeli war on Iran, diplomatic efforts are underway to end the conflict after weeks of tit-for-tat strikes across the region prolonged disruption to the Strait of Hormuz.

So, is a deal between the US and Iran possible? And what would it look like?

Edit / Addendum : This post was only made moments ago (five minutes ago). But I've just learned the Zionist creeps (Israel) just broke the cease fire. I'll now leave the post as I posted moments ago, next. ◀️🔽▶️
Screenshot, and respective links for those that may wish to use them. I'm not saying the Trump Whitehouse is commintment capable,we shall see how things go I supposr. But being on the very brink as we were lastnight..., and kbowing China brokered the deal (others were probably helping.. like Pakistan, N. Korea and of course Russia, but from what I understood, China is guarantor.. I think it may hold. At least it has a leg to stan on and we have all been taken a step nack from last night's terrible abyss. Thank God. ) This is just my opinion.. — Boy did I pray.. — I hope somehow things last.

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 !

However I wanted to give you a "peace" of my mind concerning the "Piece" or piss, as Elensky calls it, as this thing fell to pieces before it even happened.

Coincidentally on the very SAME DAY this crap happened Saudi Arabia DROPPED the US Petrodollar as a buying currency and NO ONE absolutely NO ONE is talking about this fact anywhere !!!

Hope to see you all asap.
